Story lacks depth and doesn't make sense. Beta's name changed from chapter 1 to 2.

im sorry, but this story is quite confusing! Too many characters, and it seems like the story.is going.no where
A prevalent theme in Chinese novels, particularly wuxia and xianxia genres, is the "godly physician." These characters possess incredible diagnostic skills, can prescribe accurate remedies, create potent medicines, heal instantaneously, detoxify poisons, and even administer fatal doses to save lives. However, these depictions often stem from untrained authors or outdated medical concepts.
The true value of this particular novel lies in its contemporary, scientifically grounded portrayal of the "godly physician" within the framework of Western medicine. The story follows Xie Wanying, a female doctor who, due to circumstances, graduates from a second-rate medical school and works at a rural tertiary hospital. Initially working as a pathologist, she has a life-changing regret for not pursuing a clinical career.
When time travel takes her back to the moment before her college entrance exams, she resolves to excel, aiming for top medical schools and prestigious hospitals to alter her fate. Here are some advantages she gains through regression:
1. Enhanced Knowledge and Experience: With seven years of prior education and practical experience, she has twice the time and knowledge compared to an average medical student. Her extensive background in medicine allows her to excel in multiple specialist fields simultaneously.
2. Perfect Learning: Though not a photographic memory, Xie retains a remarkable ability to recall vast amounts of medical information and can even assimilate surgical skills by observation.
3. Supercomputer-like Brain: Her mind can simulate a 3D model of any person's anatomy, allowing her to analyze health issues, identify diseases, and devise optimal treatments based on sensory inputs.
4. Future Insights: As she's transported back 25 years, she possesses knowledge of advancements in medicine and technology that will occur over the next two decades. This gives her a significant advantage in diagnosing and treating illnesses.
The story itself is decent, focusing on Xie's impressive feats that continually astonish others. Romance is present but minimal, with a well-rounded male lead who supports her without being overly possessive or creepy.
The author seems to have a solid understanding of the medical field, evident in the intricate details and realistic depictions of various diseases, treatments, and industry insights. While some readers might find sections discussing medical conditions and treatments dull, these segments offer valuable lessons about health, disease, and navigating the healthcare system.
In conclusion, despite its sci-fi elements, this novel is a must-read for everyone, as it delves into the complexities of health and medicine in a relatable and accessible manner. Regardless of age, profession, gender, or reading preferences, the insights provided can enrich one's understanding of these crucial aspects of life.
My review is 4.5 stars out of 5. If you enjoy a cunning (Overpowered Protagonist/OP) character with plenty of face-slapping scenes, I'd definitely suggest giving the novel a read. However, be prepared for a slow start; it's essential to progress through at least the second arc to form a proper opinion. As a non-Chinese reader, I don't appreciate the theme of supremacy, which can be off-putting, but for a great story, I can overlook it. The MC's quirks, particularly the system aspect, are well-developed and provide a coherent reason for their journey across different worlds, similar to another work by the author (FOD).
While the novel shares similarities with FOD, the improvement lies in the character dynamics. Here, the MC has limited physical prowess, contrasting with the ML's average intelligence, whereas in FOD, both characters excelled in everything. The romance in this one feels slightly more genuine and emotionally evolved, with a smoother progression than in the beginning of FOD.
In summary, it's a solid read with some minor drawbacks, but the compelling protagonist and engaging narrative make up for it. Give it a try if you're looking for a unique and improved take on the genre.
I polished off this book in just two days and found it quite enjoyable. It revolves around two intelligent boys pretending to be dumb and engaging in a friendly competition to rank at the bottom. The character development was exceptional, evolving from strangers to desk mates, friends, and eventually romantic partners.
The supporting cast was delightful, particularly the Class 3 students who initially feared the main characters but later became close friends, and my favorite, Old Tang. Everyone needs a teacher like Old Tang –无私 and kind, persistently believing in every student, no matter how challenging they may seem. The portrayal of the bond in "Black Water Street" was heartwarming.
While the story was overall pleasing, a few chapters felt monotonous, necessitating some skimming. If you're a fan of rom-coms with well-balanced main characters and minimal angst, this is definitely a must-read. I'd rate it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
