Got to the last updated chapter just to give it a chance, I really liked the plot but it was poorly executed. Author does not explain the overall limitation on the MC and randomly throws them in out of the blue with no warning. Main character has no understanding of people, he randomly blunders through things trying to act cool but never considers the consequences. How he can gain respect for the way he executes his plans and wastes resources on things not needed for many chapters is poor planning. His overall powers are poorly explained and with 78 chapters you would expect to see him in the mid 30s level wise, he is still in the teens and that disappoint me. His stats also seems not to reflect what was written down in early chapters unless I have the timeline mixed up in my head. 50 days would equal 150 stat points from his passive ability, this seems really slow progress time scale but fast unending action when looked at what has been accomplished in short span of time. No time to consolidate all his gains and it just seems poorly planned out. Worth reading for people who can live with the plot holes, unrealistic MC and weird relationships.
The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is a Wuxia novel by Jin Yong (Louis Cha). It was first serialized in Hong Kong in the newspaper Ming Pao from 20 April 1967 to 12 October 1969.Alternative Names:• Laughing in the Wind• State of Divinity• The Peerless Gallant Errant• The Proud and Gallant Wanderer• Xiao Ao Jiang Hu• 笑傲江湖Translators:• Lanny Lin (Chapter 1 - 21)• HHaung (Chapter 21)• Pokit (Chapter 21 onwards)• Bliss (Chapter 30 and 31)Editor:• HHaung (Chapter 21 onwards)The reason I'm putting up this novel is so I can read it for personal use. I watched the State of Divinity (1996 TV series) and loved that show. I knew there was a Novel of it but never spent the time to look for it until now. Was reading it online but the chapters very LONG and I keep loosing track of where I left off so I came here. Reading it off Webnovel is so much easier especially since it keeps track of where you left off. Unfortunately Webnovel has a 20k word / 100k character limit for each chapter so I had no choice but to chop up the chapters into parts.For those who also want to read this feel free. I am not taking someone else's work and passing them off as my own, full credit is given to the original writer, translators and editor as listed in the descriptions, plus the content of this novel is free online in multiple sources for everyone to read. So putting this up on Webnovel is just for my own convenience sake and anyone else who wishes to read this
I’ll will just put this down in one word. Amazing! I love how the story is progressing and expectations that will come to be known of the world as he explores.
The stakes in this story are deceptively simple on the surface—dad leaves, family falls apart, girl gets a magic system—but the emotional stakes are enormous. Jiang Lai is sixteen years old and the first thing she does is comfort her crying mother, ask about the bank cards, and plan for the future. The conflict isn't just external (dad abandoning them, financial uncertainty) but internal—she has to process that she's not biologically related to the parents who raised her, and she has to do it while keeping it a secret because her mom is already fragile. The System adds an interesting layer to the stakes because it's both a reward and a reminder—every time someone mentions her biological family, she gets money, which means the more people talk about it, the richer she gets, but also the more she's reminded that her entire identity is about to shift. And there's the suspense of the unknown: who are her biological parents? Why did the System choose her? The police station scene raises the stakes further because changing her surname is a legal, permanent act of cutting ties with her father. The officer saying 'Don't be sad, young lady' and triggering another 5,000 yuan payout is both funny and kind of heartbreaking—she's getting paid to be pitied. The tension is maintained because we don't know when the System's rewards will stop, or what happens when she finds out the truth about her origins. What does she stand to lose? Her mother's trust? Her sense of identity? The story makes you care because Jiang Lai is so competent and so young at the same time.
There are quite a few problems with the translation. Why's the translator going with first name last name approach? Dai Li should be Li Dai. And please put some notes in places where Pinyin are used. The translator uses lao, which I assume is short for laoshi. I thought it was the guy's surname at first. There are also sentence formation errors, etc. after a few chapters.As for the story, since this is the first sports genre webnovel here, it's quite interesting & feels fresh to read.
If you stop writing this novel, I'll come and find you and torture you till you start writing again, do you hear me @DaoistZenFeng? don't test my patience lol, just kidding, the story is good and I like it, don't drop it.
Not a bad story but profoundly stupid. Writing/translation/editing are good and its easy and enjoyable to read but the author has crammed every cliche in the story. MC is a scrawny nobody hat even flies wouldnt **** on but his 1337 gaming skills make him the terminator in real life. Men LITERALLY faint in fear when they see how awesome he is and women are so wet they need a diaper to go in public. On top of that I doubt the author played a single MMO in his life. MC is a melee fighter with no healing ability yet he constantly soloes high level elites. How? He never gets hit during battles since he put a few points in agility. He is a reincarnator who developed a major guild and knew a lot of great players. Does he develop a great team and do dungeons with them? No, only invites his old friend to join him and then we dont hear from that old friend in the next 80 chapters. Then we have the game economy. Its retarded. Guilds are giving millions irl to recruit players but their ingame worth is only a gold coin or two. Yet when MC sells a bunch of gold coins for real money he can only afford to buy some food before running out of money. MC knows where a bunch of valuable chests and locations are but does he go around collecting amazing stuff? No, he spends his gametime in the city zone leveling his crafting. Don't get me wrong. The story is enjoyable to read. But its so, so, SO damn stupid at times that couldn't help noticing and had to write a few words about it. Look at "The thief who roamed the world" for how to do this properly. Or Zhan Long is also quite good.
Novel is a Huge let down there is such a miss leading intro, for some reason the MC starts off as like a ruthless killer but then he just changes into neutral good and it’s super boring
I don’t get good feeling
I absolutely love this series and can’t wait to read the next book to this series.
I made my way to the bathroom,, to get ready for work,, o my It is like I read this befor
I am already hooked, can't wait for more of your chapters.
