This is an engaging Gary Stu cultivation novel. The romance is quite subtle, but it's present. Unlike some previous comments, I've noticed that there is polygamy in the novel, though it's not a typical, overly romanticized harem.
Highly recommend for a great story.
No new 300 chapter
I recently began reading, but unfortunately, the translation is quite disappointing, to be polite. I've noticed that Galaxy's translations can vary, and this one seems to be a significant misstep. Initially, I considered persevering due to the enjoyable and exceptional manga, but upon skimming ahead to Chapter 43, I came across this line: "Gradually, her son-in-law grew darker." Clearly, it's a poor interpretation, referring either to the sunset or a change in mood. Regrettably, the translation doesn't improve. Knowing that, I wish I could retract my rating, but I'll settle for a 4-star review, acknowledging that the story itself is not at fault for the weak translation. I'd highly recommend reading the original manhwa instead.
Still on the grind?
If you don't like those 2, you won't like this one..personally I liked Ranker who lived twice eventhough it was about towers... So if you didn't like that one, then this is a no go too
Great story and heartwarming ending, would love to read more from this author or similar stories if anyone has any recommendations.
This is so frustrating. It had so much potential but the writing is frustrating, it had so much unnecessary dialogue that even if you skip a substantial amount of texts and just skim through it, nothing would change. The side characters had more scenes than the MC, they're so annoying, especially this Nainaie or something. Even if the MC sees his past self in her, he could clearly see that most annoying circumstances stemmed from her doing. She's so self-centered and selfish that she doesn't really have much awareness outside of what she is. The author clearly doesn't know what to do with the characters that he just half-assed most circumstances and he clearly doesn't know the direction he's supposed to go with this story. It could've contended with TCF but the difference in character consistency, direction and writing pulled it down. Waay down.
Story: 5/10
Charactere: 4/10
It's a unique story and quite refreshing to read. Although it lacks romance, the adventures and comical scenes make up for it.
If you are looking for a peaceful novel with a female lead and no romance, then this is best one to read.
not exactly. but he ain't be hesitating anytime soon to dirty his hands with blood or leave loose ends for no reason
The novel has its moments, but it falls short due to overused clichés like the generic "pretty girls adore the main character" harem theme and an excessive focus on bathing, eating, and unnecessary subplots. While some aspects were tolerable, the author frequently pushed the story into tedious territory. The intermissions and side stories were mostly unenlightening and disruptively frequent, with one to two per book being reasonable. Instead, there was an abundance of unnecessary and boring content that served no purpose.
I am thoroughly engrossed in this series. The main character is exceptional, and the character development is exhilarating. The female leads are captivating with their lively personalities and appearances.
The plot is masterfully sinister, providing ample material for memes about the absurdity of the game. The antagonists are formidable, posing a genuine challenge to the protagonist's skills.
I fervently wish there was a book version of this series so I could devour it all at once.
This work is a collection of overused clichés from novels and TV dramas, so predictable that even my mom could anticipate the next scene, even if it aired in 2000. It follows the typical formula of a melodramatic bloodline drama, with bland supporting characters and stereotypes, including a token mascot and love interest. The main characters are equally one-dimensional.
The author seems to lack understanding of the complexities of child psychology, a common flaw in this genre. The plot is more about showcasing the主角's superficial beauty and charm than a coherent storyline. Crucial details, like how the antagonist swapped babies from wealthy families, are underdeveloped or glossed over.
One glaring issue is the repetitive description of the protagonist, which feels like a horror movie character with her pale skin, jet-black hair, and eerie vibe. As the story progresses, the author's lack of research and biased portrayal of characters become more apparent, with the protagonist effortlessly overcoming impossible odds, leaving me unimpressed and skeptical.
For instance, the protagonist confidently believes she will win a street money-making challenge despite no explanation, assuming others won't cheat. This kind of unrealistic plot contrivance ruins any tension or investment in the story.
While you might find it passable to read for mindless entertainment, don't expect anything groundbreaking. If you've watched your share of Asian dramas, you won't find many surprises here. Enjoyment is not the word; it's merely a filler until you discover a new favorite or update your reading list.
If you're looking for a similar concept done better, I suggest checking out "The CEO's Villainess Childhood Friend."
