Omg! This book is so good… made me cry. Please give us the rest of the chapters!!
This story is wonderful! Just the right mix of events to make you want more, along with excitement, sexual tension, and blissful release....
Good book, nicely written but there’s a cliff hanger is there a book 2 I would love to read on
If I could rate this 10 out of 10, I would. This is the gold standard for my isekai and fantasy novels, as I can only pinpoint a few minor issues, none of which involve the characters themselves.
The protagonist's character evolves gracefully throughout the series, reflecting the growth that anyone would experience under similar circumstances. The harem members develop and transform alongside him, making it a genuine harem romance, not just an MC with a harem for show. My only critique would be that I wished the relationships progressed at a slightly faster pace, but their development is evident throughout the main storyline.
A spoiler follows:
I would have appreciated more scenes showcasing Hajime's complete acceptance of his new companions, particularly during the month after the battle, to see how Kaori, Shizuku, Remia, Lilliana, and Aiko reacted.
What I particularly admire about the MC's combat skills is his adaptability and resourcefulness. Although he relies heavily on guns, he doesn't struggle with smaller weapons when a different approach is needed. He strategizes, executes plans, and adjusts both offense and defense on the fly, which sets him apart from other books where characters often overthink their tactics.
The "idiot" antagonist, surprisingly, plays more of a hindrance role rather than a significant threat, often serving as a plot point for the MC to overcome effortlessly.
The relationships within the harem exhibit depth, with intricate connections like Yue and Shia, Kaori and Shia, All and Myu, Remia and Tio in the after-story arcs, and even Kaori, Shizuku, and Lilliana's dynamic. I'm also intrigued by Yukka's potential.
The after-story arcs, including Brutal Shia, Tio, Shizuku, and Travel Journal, were just as enjoyable, if not more so, than the main narrative.
Overall, this book stands out for its character development, strategic combat, and engaging character interactions.
There aren't many chapters yet, but so far, it appears heartwarming. The protagonist has reincarnated as an avid reader and is working on mending their bond with their mother. It's a touching storyline, but I suspect the tragedy tag suggests things might take a darker turn soon. Nevertheless, it's a promising start.
AAAA THAT WAS SO SATISFYING
WARNING: This is a complete Mary Sue/Gary Stu novel, so if you're not into that, I warn you in advance.
Anyways, this is the first time I read a BL novel where romance really isn't the focus. No, it can be said that the romance wasn't even a subgenre in the main story; it's literally not there because you see that the MC and ML behave completely platonically. But you'll still be sure that he's the ML even though he only comes every twenty chapters or so because their interactions just give the feeling of "friends but has the potential to be more than friends."
And the author never really forgets to include the ML in their mini theater at the end (even though the ML's name doesn't show up much in the main story compared to the little theaters at the author's notes, hehe).
So this MC-focused novel wasn't really my type of tea, and I was expecting to be bored after continuous perfect MC things, but I actually persisted through 150 chapters of the main story plus the 100+ extra parallel worlds, totaling 250-300 chapters of the novel.
I am really impressed. Sports are not my thing, but it had actually hooked me into this novel. The perseverance of the MC toward his dream, and despite having a system of his own to help him, he actually was the one who's working hard and the one who makes his scores better and higher. The system was just there, not to be the crutch he holds on to but to support the MC into training more and guide him into becoming better by relying on his own ability.
What I also want to say is, Su Zhe, you've worked hard. Even after the rebirth in the extras, you never fail to be better and to work harder to make better achievements. You never stopped training and have always been relying on your own strength. I'm proud of you, seeing your growth.
Also, the romance part may only be obvious and more pronounced in the extras, but I'm glad the MC wasn't actually alone after being the miracle and hope of everyone. It is always the people at the top having to bear the lonely road ahead, so I'm glad we actually have an ML that is there, and the readers are familiar with, not just someone who came by at the end.
For the ML, although his story looked incomplete compared to the MC, especially since he's not really focused on by the author and his family weren't mentioned or anything, I actually like the ML's character traits in this. He's not someone who is impulsive and is actively chasing the MC to the point of being annoying, but he's just there. Sometimes you'll be so immersed in the MC of the novel that if the ML's name is mentioned, it's surprising, yes, but it's actually very heartwarming knowing that the ML has always been in the sidelines waiting for the MC, not shackling him but just supporting his back and following his road. Like he said, Su Zhe will always be continuously going on this road with a lot of people cheering for him, but whenever he wants to look back, Shao Xincheng will be there standing and waiting for him. He waited until the MC could accept him, he waited until the right time for the feelings, he waited until their careers are stable, he waited until Su Zhe is ready. He waited until Su Zhe responded to him and hugged him under that snowy day.
I just have to say, although the romance part of this novel is mainly in the extras and is limited, it's actually one of my favorite couples.
The MC wasn't dense, the ML wasn't annoying. Throughout the whole story, I was on tenterhooks about when their relationship would go to the next level, but their emotional part coming out after the main story was actually well-placed and well-written. If only it could have been longer.
But I'm happy, and extremely satisfied now. ^^ I hope you give this novel a chance. I promise the MTL is good and easy to read (really, really easy to read).
I tried RI and couldn't stomach it. It's the kind of novel where the MC is a complete loner, a lunatic, and refuses to properly communicate with anyone. Not to mention, it feels like every single other character is out there to plot against him and kill him. There isn't a single reasonable person in MC's path, and he makes no friends. It got boring real quick and I had to drop it.
Waited 1 year. Caught up in 2 days. Seems about right.
