This is a beautiful novel. ... Keep writing. ......
Thanks!! I hope you like the rest of the story...
How long before you updated this book. I can’t wait for to finish reading it.
This book is great! Can’t wait for more updates!
Love seeing a fellow Black writer on this site and a story about a black girl! Amazing job!
it is good
Weird experience.
First, the writing. It might be hurtful to say, but by 2024 standards, the translation is worse than machine-translated text. It's clearly only partially edited at best, with inconsistent terms and a generally hard-to-read flow. One of the most amusing moments was within about 20 lines, where the same character was described first as a marquis, then as a duke, and then as a count. Add to this the large number of ads on the site and the fact that the novel has long been fully translated, but they release only one free chapter a day, meaning it will take another three years at this rate for it to be fully free (if ever). If the translation quality were great, I might overlook this, but for a machine translation that doesn’t even seem edited, I’m not sure...
Of course, translation aside, the novel’s writing itself does not seem very good. Weird details take up half of the chapters, while important stuff is glossed over.
Next, the novel itself... Hmm. It is weird. The initial setup feels a bit forced and overly convenient. An endless reincarnator who can read 'memories' from his past lives... And when he reads those memories, he can acquire the skills from those lives. By "skills," I mean game-like abilities, including things like magic or altering his own body. However, there are some very game-like restrictions:
- He can only read certain lives' memories (and thus acquire their skills) when he is 'strong enough,' whatever that means.
- He can only 'equip' a very limited number of skills at the same time.
In a way, it’s a genius setup. Think about it: you can now follow this arc:
"Get an acting mission" => "Conveniently be strong enough to unlock new memories and a new ability" => "Replace previous ability with the new ability, no need to consider possible merging and synergistic effects between them since he can only have a few at a time" => "Easily succeed (often by cheating and hypnotizing the audience)" => "Be overpraised"
Now, repeat that... I assume until the end of the novel, probably.
This approach has several issues, though.
What is the main character's (MC) mental age, really? On the one hand, it seems implied that he only vaguely remembers the previous memories and needs to unlock them to get the skill + part of the memories. But on the other hand, the MC usually speaks as if he knows all the memories. And he is fully conscious from birth with an adult mind... so which is it really? Very confusing. I assume the author is trying to find a way around the common issue of "My MC has 10000000 years of experience but I want him to be as stupid and immature as a 15-year-old," but it kind of fails.
Then there is the objective: becoming a superstar. The reason why is pretty flimsy, in my opinion. But again, I shouldn’t try to understand the mind of someone who lives a thousand lives, so if he randomly wants to become a superstar to get a kick out of it, what can I say?
The real problem is that he approaches the whole thing pretty stupidly. His abilities are monstrous, and clearly, he has no moral qualms about cheating since he uses them all the time, yet... He uses them wastefully. Remember the "Get an acting mission" => "Conveniently be strong enough"? That’s basically describing a passive MC. He waits for something to happen, then gets an ability to solve it, then waits for the next thing. Instead of taking one of those cheat abilities, capitalizing on it, and becoming a superstar within three months. Granted, there would be no more novel to write after that, but still... It’s a bit like reading a cultivation story where the MC has a bunch of cheats, uses them all the time, and his objective is to become the strongest, but somehow he doesn’t use the cheat called 'Become the strongest' without giving any explanation why. So I find myself stuck between having to accept that the MC is so devoted to that goal that he will do nothing else with his abilities and that he also cares so little about that goal that he doesn’t even bother devoting three brain cells to the task of finding a good way to achieve it.
Finally, I cannot help but think the concept of morality around the use of skills is not explored much, if at all. The idea of using magic abilities to improve your 'acting' is already bad enough, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg... The real problem is that a lot of these abilities revolve around the concept of basically hypnotizing your audience into liking you. The MC even regrets early on that he is too weak to simply unlock his lich memories and outright learn the hypnotize skill.
For example, the first two abilities he uses:
- Fairy magic to make young children 'forcefully' imitate things he does.
- 'Mimic' magic to make an advertisement on an item and make the people watching it magically compelled to buy the item.
Is that really the path of a superstar?
soooooooo if we are excluding the ending it's a 8.5/10 and if we are including them it would drop to 7/10
Hahaha. It is certainly a bit confusing as its first image is better known than this one. In fact, I hadn't seen this one before until I searched for Ending Maker images to put on my profile.
I partially agree with this, the nationality part sort of disappears later on into the book as the mc leaves the starting world. The book isn't meant at a serious in depth read but more as a way to spend time for a laugh
1000, chapter and he's still weak, couldn't even complete his revenge match against the ink sea dragon.
in the earlier chaps the system is basically bullying the mc.. though i feel bad for laughing the way he responds is way too funny?? jajajaja!!
