???/5!!! [Transmigration, Historical (Ancient China), Wars, Kingdom-Building] I really like this novel, but while the MTL is readable, I would prefer to wait till the CG TL is done T.T They did very well for this one! It's really a great novel if you're interested in learning a little something something. Most of what happens in the story appears to be consistent with what happened at the time -- though, of course, the appearance of the MC with his golden finger (modern knowledge) shook things up after a while (and it did take a while, because the MC was really focused more on protecting his people at first and had no true ambition when it... more>>

4.33/5!!! [Survival, Horror, Unlimited Flow] OOOF, I avoided this novel the whole time because it seemed a bit whimsical for a survival novel LOL. I turned out to be completely wrong! Although the novel does have a bit of whimsy to it, the survival instances are very detailed, and the overall plot development is well-structured. As some people have said, the ending is a bit rushed. But it's not so rushed that it isn't satisfying. The author did a pretty good job tying up all the loose ends so that the story can be enjoyed as it despite the rushed ending.... more>>

Action Adventure Horror Mature Psychological Sci-fi Shounen Ai Supernatural Tragedy Yaoi

???/5!!! [Infinite Flow, Survival, Psychological Horror] TBH, my impression of this novel is very mixed. I think that the world is very detailed and there seemed to have been a lot of attention paid on setting it up properly, but I always feel like there are gaps. This is not the fault of the story, but mostly on the fact that my comprehension began to slip by a LOT after all the action LMFAO. I thought this would be like your typical infinite flow novel. Fast-paced and focused on problem-solving. However, it ended up being more action-based than anything. OK, idk if I'm making any sense, so let's go with the summary first.... more>>

Summary: The novel starts like your typical infinite flow novel. The MC, Bai Lu, is dragged into a game world inexplicably and is forced into an instance where he has to solve puzzles, fight baddies, etc. in order to survive. The tone of the novel is very mature, but it's not completely dark. I mean, in most infinite flow novels, the situation seems to be hopeless for most people. But, here, players can directly watch others clear instances and make use of that knowledge to clear the instance themselves. Like this, we also get to see the reactions of the older players to Bai Lu's style of playing --- which is heavy on surprise tactics that seems to have been thought of as soon as he had entered the game.

I don't particularly mind that the MC is OP, but others might XD It's true that he's a bit too all-knowing. And that there doesn't seem to be much tension in the instance themselves. It's more like a playground that the MC casually strolls around on as he gets into conflict with other players and guilds. (I don't dislike this concept, to be honest. It means that you get to truly know the characters here, at least, but yeh, it's a bit weird.) The side characters, especially, don't feel like side-characters at all. The author gives each of them a complex background so that they can stand steadily throughout the story and not just fade away like in most other infinite flow novels (where the MC's team is just casually watching him clear instances lol.)

ANYWAY, I won't be doing a full review on this novel cause I didn't make it halfway. The untranslated half (after RM's translation) it was really not easy to read -- so I gave up mostly for this reason. My current impression though... well, how to say it? I think that it's interesting and worth taking a look into, but it's also a little bit of a bog sometimes. I'm not someone who likes action all that much, so I guess this makes sense. If that's more your style, you should enjoy this story more than I did. I won't be giving this novel a rating either because of the reason mentioned above! However, my preliminary rating would be around 3.75-4.25 stars out of five. Not bad all in all, a better than average read, at the very least! But, perhaps not my kind of story in the end. <<less

#55Reborn Into a Primitive Society to Raise Babies

18 Chapters Every 54.8 Day(s) 820 Readers 4 Reviews 02-21-2022

Fantasy Romance Slice of Life Yaoi

???/5!!! [Transmigration, Slice of Life, Historical: Primitive Society, Infrastructure-Building/Clan-Building] Honestly, not bad if you enjoy slice of life, farming, and poor-to-rich development. It's definitely not for everyone, and can even be considered boring (especially because the author's writing style is more tell rather than show --- like they're writing a summary rather than a novel xD).... more>>

However, if you're like me and you enjoy the aforementioned tropes, then this is something that can be read when you have free time. The only reason I stopped reading is that I'm antsy for something a little more lively. Plus, the MTL, while at least 70% readable, is still a bit dizzying. There are so many name errors (The MC is called Li Feng, the ML Li, and the original owner Feng. The author changes it later, but still, I kept seeing them call the ML Li Feng, and the MC Li, etc., etc.)

SUMMARY:

The MC, Li Feng, is a journalist that ends up transmigrating after being struck by lightning. When he came to, he was in the process of giving birth (as a male XD), but he doesn't really register this. The first thing he registers upon waking up later is that he has been transmigrated into a primitive era. And, unlike other primitive-era novels, where the characters are either beastkin or the like, the humans here cannot be any more normal. As such, the MC doesn't have any other golden finger outside of the modern knowledge he brought with him upon transmigration. As for the ML, he was already together with the original owner before the MC transmigrated, and their relationship wasn't bad. It's just, I guess, in ancient times, people didn't really care much for their partners. Or, at least, not to the point that they noticed them changing so significantly lol.

THOUGHTS:

Outside of what I mentioned in the beginning, the story has a lot of other small issues. When it comes down to it, it's a self-indulgent slice of life novel (similar to the other low-quality ancient china farming novels that you see where the development is mainly on making money or infrastructure-building -- the characters are secondary and it's not the most realistic.) Because of this, I wouldn't recommend reading it unless you just happen to be interested in such tropes. I happen to be that kind of person, so I plan to come back to reread it later lolol XD low-quality or whatnot. It's readable and to my taste, so why not? AH, but I won't be rating this until I reread it later. <<less

Hiii, I love your reviews, they are all so clear and really makes me want to read all those web novels because you detailed a lot of what I love to read! Poor-to-rich stories mainly haha I've been scrolling through all your lists and adding so many reccomendations to my to-read list. If you see my To Read list in novelupdates, a lot of them I have copied you comments onto there to remind myself why I wanted to read them hahaha XD
I was wondering if you can create a list of all the web novels you've read ranked by your rating with your overall comments there? I wish I could go to your reviews tab and just sort by rating but novelupdates isn't that user friendly XP Shameless plug but I've created a list of all stories I've read ranked by rating + my reviews so other people can see all the stories I like in mostly one screen haha
