Pro:
- Lots of comedy - At least every other chapter have something that cracks me up.
- Characters are well "re-used" - In a lot of novels (cough - TDG, LMS) , new characters are constantly introduced & forgotten. In this novel, the list of characters well maintained ; they are brought back into the stories from time to time.
- Interesting story development - The novels can be broken up into several big adventures, and each of them is well written across multiple (50+) chapters.
Mixed Feelings:
- OP MC from the start.
Cons:
- Very little character development - Most, if not all characters' personality stay the same.
- "Harem-ish" - All top-notch looking female characters like MC. The good thing is there's no romance as MC is not interested in any of them.
Conclusion:
Very good read. Once I start reading into an adventure, I can't help wanting to read more. Translation rate is very slow at the moment (1 chapter every ~7 days). Might be better to wait & read in bulk.
I generally don't like to read Vietnamese translation as English translation is easier for me to understand. However, I got very addicted to this novel and finished reading the Vietnamese translation.
Original rating 4 stars. New rating after completion is 5 stars.
when he ruined another girls' whole life because she called his friend names. Like he ruined her reputation and put on a big hat on her that she was cheating on her boyfriend. Like wtf! MC was the one who told his friend to chase after the girl's boyfriend.
At the start of the novel, when the main character talks about the theory of evolution, saying that humans are descendants of the chimpanzees and other primates. This has been proven wrong for a lot of reasons which you can find in a lot of books, research (and of course Google).
Afterwards he goes against the theory of the flat earth and the geocentric model (earth = middle of the univers) by saying that the earth is round and the planet orbites around the sun.
Why I feel so uneasy about this is because :
1. As keklel said in his review, the world's settings suggest that the earth shape has already been discovered. Thus the author kind of contradicts himself.
2. The theory of evolution of Darwin is known for being erroneous since it displays humans as an evolution of "monkeys" (other primates). It has been proven that we share a same ancestor.
3. You shouldn't say the earth is not flat because it's round. You should provide proof of why it is round. Otherwise it's akin to a I say-He says- You say debate. No one is right or wrong because they don't provide any arguments.
This one gave me a lot of laughs although I'm a bit unsatisfied because of the lack of real romance. It makes me wants to smack the Protagonist into oblivion of how he friendzone his girls but I can't help it since he's too funny and the girls are all so cute when expressing their frustration. The girls are all Quirky so I felt like it's wasted that there's wasn't even a real romance but all platonic love.
But overall this is so fun to read. I loved it.
My favourite girls:
Zhao Yarou /Madwoman
Zhen Xiaoyan /Fatty
Coldblood Five /Little Five
