Is that a real proverb lolol that's wild if it is
Yup I loved it so far. Thanks! Though I just hope that our teacher doesn’t ends up with any student T_T
I don't know any slice of life novels but I do know slice of life mangas
Yea, basically all Chinese names are literally words used in everyday conversation. Honestly, it makes me wonder how someone doesn’t accidentally twitch when their name is said in random conversations. I mean, Chen is dust and Chang is orange I'm pretty sure.
The idea of the novel is really interesting but...
ok, so maybeee.. because this web is a mirror web and did not translate the novels on their own, they are missing the [Game] words. if you are confused, just looked up the title on google and add novelupdates on it. it should show you the web that translate this novel.
check out the webtoon adaption it's amazing
I'll start reading it just for this line """ like saving a woman in distress then making love to her seven times in a row while her child slept in the next room """ Hehehehe yea boi.
True his mother is said to be alive but she never appeared till the end.
I'm truly infatuated with this book. It just keeps getting better and better. As more chapters are translated and the quality improves, I believe it has the potential to gain massive popularity, akin to titles like "Tr*sh of the Count's Family," "The Novel's Extra," and "S-Classes I Raised." Despite their similar themes, this story offers a fresh and unique narrative. It's heartbreaking to imagine what might have become of the characters without the protagonist's intervention. In summary, the plot and world-building are exceptional, and the characters are captivating. However, the translation leaves much to be desired.
This novel is highly polarizing; some readers will adore it, while others might not. What stands out to me particularly is the character development of the Prodigal Son, who starts off seemingly clueless like a middle school kid, but gradually matures and becomes more intelligent. However, despite his growth, he ultimately meets an unfortunate fate at the hands of the main character, MC.
What sets this narrative apart from others is the explanation provided for the MC's ability to have his thoughts heard by the female leads. It's not a magical, arbitrary power; there's a logical explanation given in the story. Unlike other novels where MCs effortlessly influence the heroine's perceptions, this one has a grounded foundation.
Furthermore, the MC isn't a passive protagonist who lets others dictate his actions. Instead, he actively engages with the heroines and asserts himself, demonstrating strength and independence. A significant turning point occurs when he discovers he can actually control which thoughts are shared with them.
To reveal more would be a spoiler, but suffice it to say that this revelation marks a pivotal moment in the plot, where the MC gains even greater control over his thoughts and their impact on those around him.
Here's a valuable critique: This is a portal fantasy from 2004, and the genre has significantly evolved since then. Our society has developed a more nuanced approach to handling such themes compared to earlier times. Modern Western narratives no longer depict advanced cultures as divine saviors, delivered in a nauseatingly patriotic manner, as they once did. In my past, I avidly consumed works like Eric Flint and Harry Turtledove, but I'm glad that portal fantasy gained popularity and better quality emerged, steering away from those dated pitfalls.
If you're not seeking a nostalgic trip down memory lane or an exploration of the genre's growth, I'd recommend choosing a contemporary work, preferably from around 2012 or later. Regarding sexual content, it aligns with its tag descriptions. If you prefer your fictional stories without explicit sexual elements mixed in, perhaps this particular book isn't the best fit for you.
