First and foremost, I want to express my love for Harem. The more girls, the better, right? However, this particular novel has made me question my affection for the genre. Why? Because Bai Xiaochun, the first female lead, is simply extraordinary.
Bai Xiaochun is such an exceptional woman that someone like me, who adores Harem stories, finds myself hoping the narrative isn't centered around multiple romantic partners. Her character possesses a unique quality that many might argue is not ideal for a typical Harem setup - she accepts the MC's harem without any issue. It's almost too good to be true, bordering on being a fictional character that transcends reality.
Despite this, I can't help but adore Bai Xiaochun. Her cuteness is undeniable, and it shines through even amidst the Harem context. If she were in a standalone romance, she would be on par with charming characters like Yamato from "Ore Monogatari" or Miyuki from "Mahouka," appealing to everyone without necessarily sparking hate. Unfortunately, I feel the story does her justice, and I wouldn't mind seeing a different outcome.
Moving on to my review, the story may not be filled with the high-stakes action often found in modern Harem Chinese novels. Instead, it leans more towards a slice-of-life tale, focusing on the MC's daily adventures, humor, and interactions with the ladies. The MC's hacking skills are incredibly overpowered, allowing him to pull off impressive feats like hacking a major corporation in mere hours, leaving everyone clueless.
While this novel might not be groundbreaking, it offers a lighthearted and entertaining read. It's perfect for a lazy day, with its slapstick moments and engaging characters. I would recommend it to those looking for a break from more intense narratives.
In conclusion, despite the potential drawbacks, I would rate this novel five stars, solely because of Bai Xiaochun's captivating presence. Even if the story itself were mediocre, her character alone makes it worth a read.
