To be honest, I found this novel pretty good at the beginning, but it went downhill very fast. I still perseviered until chapter 180+, but then I gave up. One point is indeed the massive nationlism, which would not be too bad as most chinese novels have a good amount. The main issue is that in this novel its unbearable for me. (note that I am not from the US)
The other thing is the MC whose character is all over the place, like there is not one, but at least 10 different people. His thinking is massively different then the background story show us. He is someone who spent most of his live (or thats how it seems) in hospital bad and then dies. He missed many things in life. He also said he wants to enjoy his new life the fülledt, he do not want to die. That could generate a cowardly MC, with possible character development as time goes on. But that is not the case. The MC is doing nothing, that could count as enjoying life. No traveling, getting friends, partying, or (god forbid) getting a woman. He does nothing at all, except reading, eating and sleeping. That what the hospital should have looked like no? Time to time the author tries to throw us some bones like, "I am handsome, I have time to have a girfriend", but not actively looking for a woman and avoiding woman as a plague is 2 very different things. Also he is inconsistent in his decisions without any narrative why did he make those. The characters are all over the place, not well thought out and empty most of the time. The writing itself is far from bad and there is a semi-decent world building as well, but most of the time I think the author is at most 10-12 years old with no life experience at all. And my biggest problem is that I absolutely can not relate to the MC in any way. Not with his thinking, decisions and most of the time not even his plans, other then wanting to become stronger. At the end he is an idiotic child with a massive strenght. The worst kind.
