Hi everyone! I'm YH, one of the translators of The Empress's Gigolo. Hope all of you enjoy the story and yes, the MC is a male :) For those who are confused, the MC is the "gigolo" of the empress - which is exactly what the title is implying! We appreciate all the feedback we have gotten so far! Once again, thank you all for the support :)
Its really good so far but the writing quality or translation seems pretty lacking. There seems to be missing words or just sentences that dont make alot of sense. If there was an editor or proofreader Id say it was perfect but otherwise its lacking.
Who's here to review because of the new book cover? Well anyway, Let's review for the cool book cover! Everyone who can see this! Please review too!
OH YES F*CKING PLEASE THIS SOUNDS SO F*CKING AWESOME Really, we need more light hearted novels, and this one sounds just perfect, sincerely hope it won't be disappointing
this is the best story i read so far. this is the best story i read so far. this is the best story i read so far. this is the best story i read so far.
MC is bit a good for nothing without the system, prideful,a showoff and a *****,the story is pretty boring.except for the translation quality there's nothing remarkable about this.
This novel is one of a kind. I love it ❤️ and i can't wait for the next episode. yea definitely sorry for kcee's loss... author pls could you show how his wife died?
the word omega made me think of something else. but i guess i wont be reading since my definition of omega is different from yours. will give 5 star tho.
Honestly, I'm only writing a review to find out if the author is going to continue it, I never felt that a novel in Webnovel was worth paying for until this one, I like kingdom building and this one does it very well, things are well studied.I like that it is not a reincarnation or a normal transmigration, the mc receives memories through dreams, but he feels Roman, for those who complain that he is stupid, that is honestly the reason why I gave him a 5 star in construction character, normally in Webnovel they are usually made into perfect gentlemen from the beginning, but they are just characters, they don't feel human.It's a shame that he ended up in the fight for Persia.
I haven't read this one yet but i have read SSS and Titan's throne and i really liked them so i'm sure this one will be just as good if not better. Keep up the good work Onion!!
Passed 5 novels on fan count while there's 2 "stolen" novels on trial reads and had 4.8 rating yet still didn't get chosen, more proof that webnovel doesn't really care about the readers.
This review was written after I had read 182 chapters. Before someone says anything about the 3 Stars, let me tell you that I am going to abandon it for now. I will surely come back because it is a good read but the book destroyed my expectations too much so that something that originally would have been one of my Favorite novel to only hate currently, but you don't need to worry since it will not piase my review. So lets get startet.Pros:--> good charactersThe story has many good described characters from Friends to family, love interessts and also enemys. Everyone has their own backstory and why they are like they are.--> Side storysYes, you heard me right it is not only a one man Show there are also chapters about all the Sidecharacters-->Real WorldThis is a very important point for me. The Real World has a lot of chapters so we not only have a Person living in the virtual world, but a real life besides it too. Which includes Meeting friends, Dinners, conversations with enemys, romance and also academy life.--> Starter villageThis alone is worth a point the Starter village is just nearly perfectly written, from how he gets his class and explanation about the game itself.-->2 identitysMc is aware that it is not good to Show off unnecessarily and this creates a second personality for all the things that nobody should ever get to know (not even family).-->romanceHaving romance itself in an mmorpg book is just really great since we can see a normal Couple life but they also have all the ingame abilitys.-->knowledgeable mcMc is extremely intelligent, and was an intelligence gatherer in his past life.-->no Level, and PenaltysThe system of not having lvls and instead use exp to Distributor to points is very good and provides the pvp and game with a completely different balance-->The DevelopersThe Developers of the game make it really fun to read since they really like to see Players suffer and have a really great mindset--> His ClassHe has a great class, with crafting usw. with a lot of potential.So lets get too the cons: ?-->side storyslets Start with them since they are also in the pros. Having sidestorys is very good but the author has not distributed them well so that it is possible to have2 sidestorys between 5-10 chapters after each other before going to a few sentence about mc or 1 to 2 chapters about mc to then going to another sidestory... I think it is selfexplainatory-->forced scenesOne of the Major things that annoy me very much. Author made so many good things but he just doesn't use the intelligence of the mc very well. There are many forced scenes to drive the novel forward. In a bad direction that is because they make a lot of the stuff that mc things useless. It even feels like the author wants mc to suffer idk why.-->no character progressionI wouldn't say this is a Bad thing but this novel have a lot of Bad personality Building for sidecharacters like his best Friend or enemys. (But they don't improve or improve not much since and improve from:even if you don't want us to be friends I will still do everything to get our friendship together. toI know that you don't want a friendship so ok lets not have one but if you need anything I will come running and help however I can. sry but this is not an improvement for me at all!) It also doesn't help hat they seem somewhat naive and idiotic. Also all the forced scenes that could be ok because mc or some sidecharacter gets an improvement in character since he understands something from it just became useless with this point.--> Character crashmy third and last point (yes there are only 4 Bad things) which I also think is the most important one. Due to forced scenes it completely destroyed the personalitys of mc and sidecharacters, for example a sidecharacter who hates woman and wants to be ugly because of his good looks suddenly begins to like our mcs main love interest (who since I looked at the Headlines will become his girlfriend with a Chance for up to 95%) or mc who plans everything suddenly does what he says he shouldn't do. Or the secret things that noone should know suddenly everyone can know them. (not in the first 200 chapters that everyone can know but later on in the novel it is completely fine, but others will get to know it earlier since of forced Plot and which then results in many chapters so as to get the guy an item so that he keeps it a secret, which btw is forced since mc didn't even want to go and make his objektive(which was a boss) with him but the other Person just said she promised them and the other people who find out didn't even want to go too but since they promised... mc would have just needet to persist on going just together and not as a group. ) He also lets himself get a Boss ksed because he wants to suddenly save a mana potion thus only uses a weak spell. I don't even know why an intelligent mc who is suspicios of everyone doesn't even keep in his mind that a hidden Boss can be ksd, but well just forced Plots as we know them.-->basic class spell, and craftingright I said 4 but this one just popped up, but it is nothing Major. Mc just completely forgot that he has the spell for which he even picked the class mainly (since he has a better one, but with limited slots) He should use both in my opinion. As for crafting I guess nonexistend is the best word as of now. Crafting is very good and even I live crafting jobs like alchemist, blacksmith usw. in novels but here it seems the class can't really do it until his final evolution of the class. If you look at the headlines it only seems to start somewhere between chapter 400 to 500.So this is my honest review about the novel, and I must say the forced Plots, no character develop and resulting personality destruction/crash just destroyed it for me. It is such a good novel from the rest reall so give it a try, but like people always say you can't really hate something if you never liked it so it is by me as much as I liked it as many negative emotions I have now since a few days, which is also the main reason behind me writing this review, to hope to help me get over them.Anyways give the novel a try, like I said it has many good points and maybe the ones that destroyed it for me don't matter too you or you don't even think that they exist. So make your own opinion. I just hope that some people who read all of this will get some basic idea of what they can expect in the novel.With kind regardsSinoneand everyone a nice reading experience.
