So yeah, I voted for this novel and have read up to 18 chapters. I had a high expectation, and from what I've read, it's too high, but it's not bad.This internet Cafe thing, I was expecting a literal internet Cafe, like both game, but also the Cafe part. As of now, all we're getting is the same Resident Evil gameplay, it's so repeated and boring.It could really improve, since I'm writing this at night, let me just summarize everything that need to improve/can be different.Characters: Pretty bland, they're either not rich, rich, or kinda rich. There's girls and boys, but the only way to differentiate them is that one is pretty and screams a lot, the other is rich and screams less. The Mc is bland as well, there's nothing to his character at all.World Building: I remember how many people said that this is similar to gourmet of another world and I don't see it. Gourmet of another world had a pretty good and solid world building, this novel (and I mean Gourmet of another world from chapter 1 to chapter 18, comparing it to this novel from chapter 1 to 18) is so boring. All we know is that there's a school. A few shops that aren't very popular. We know the country's name and the capital as well, and yeah... That's all.Story development: Probably the worst that this novel does, it's just new people entering the Cafe, threathing the owner, gets tricked to play, says "if I don't like it, I get a refund

Another trash trial novel...............
Started out interesting, with a focus on academics, advancement and collaboration. Halfway through (several hundred chapters in) it turned into another nationalistic oppressed political underdog narrative where China pretends to be the victim of all the bullying strategies it uses on the rest of the world. China is the great Amber Heard of the modern era: beating others while using makeup to fake bruises and slandering the victims.Nobody cares where the protagonist is from until the author starts force-feeding you racist, nationalist rubbish. Not only have they used the traditional US bogeyman, but they've also taken potshots at Africans, Indians, Chinese expats in Australia, Germans, etc. It's not about the story anymore. The author decided to make the entire world a stage for Chinese slapstick virtue signalling.I'm going to go look for some Xianxia, maybe, because the only Chinese novels that don't turn racist are the ones where the MC doesn't interact with non-Chinese people.

There's a huge loophole in this novel.. if his wife truely bound by life contract at least they put something or protect him so they won't die .. it doesn't make sense they only put Julia and butler guy ..They're Goddess from there perspective continent and yet they can't put at least 8 tier .old man. To keep him safe ..
We’re in a sticky situation now
I have been genuinely emotional over this passage and I need to process it. The line 'May all our futures be bright and splendid, our lives smooth and peaceful. If everyone is safe and well, every day is sunny.' Yu Banxia raises her teacup and says this, and the whole family chimed in with smiles. It's such a simple wish, isn't it? Not wealth or power or revenge — just safety and peace. And then the very same night, that peace is tested. Someone is pounding on Doctor Zhao's door begging him to save a life. The contrast between that warm family toast and the desperate midnight cry of 'save a life, please I beg you' — it's devastating in the best way. What I love about Yu Banxia's emotional journey here is how naturally she shifts from the daughter at a family dinner to the doctor on a midnight mission. There's no hesitation, no dramatic internal monologue about duty versus comfort. She just dresses, grabs her kit, and says 'lead the way.' But the emotional undercurrent is there. When she arrives at Xu Yong's house and the mother-in-law grabs her arm demanding proof she's a doctor, you can feel her frustration building. 'This is a matter of life or death... What were they playing at now!' And then the needle. 'I'll remove it after I save the patient. You're too noisy.' That's not just impatience — that's a doctor who has zero tolerance for nonsense when a life is on the line. The most emotionally powerful moment for me though was after the baby was born. Xu Yong's mother, who had been so hostile, is now beaming and saying 'Young lady, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my grandson and daughter-in-law would have been in grave danger.' And Yu Banxia just smiles and says 'As a doctor, it's my duty to save lives and heal the sick. Otherwise, what's the point of studying medicine?' No boasting, no 'I told you so.' Just quiet grace. The emotional arc from suspicion to gratitude, from hostility to gratitude, all in one night — and Yu Banxia doesn't gloat once.
I need to talk about the farewell pavilion scene because my heart actually hurt a little. Su Hanchu sees her parents under a tree and immediately goes to them. Not because she's some devoted daughter in the original story, but because she decides to honor the role she's inherited. And then Wei Furong—her mother—just looks at her and says "Chuchu, Mother has finally seen you. Are you alright, child?" That's it. That one line carries so much weight. The mother who couldn't protect her daughter from this fate, who's also in exile, who's been applying herbal medicine to her husband's wounds because she knows how to survive on the battlefield. The exchange of gifts between them is everything. Su Hanchu gives Golden Sore Ointment and stuffs silver into her mother's sleeve from her spatial dimension, and Wei Furong gives her what little she has along with advice to "take good care of your husband." Neither of them says I love you directly, but the love is there in every action. And then there's the Jun Moye and Su Hanchu thread, which is developing in the most quiet, understated way. He's blushing when she starts undoing his clothes to apply medicine. She's being practical and helpful without making it a big emotional moment. But the subtext is there—the near-winter cloak being thick enough to hide a bundle of medicine and silver, the jade pendant he offers her to exchange for more supplies, the way he asks her to help him walk to the woods. This isn't a love story that shouts; it's one that whispers. And honestly, that's more believable for two people who were married by imperial decree and haven't even properly met until disaster struck. The emotional beats here are earned, not forced.
