This is the book i love the most. but my recruit and i are working on another HIT book. "VENGEANCE HOUR" Watch out!
I love how intriguing just the synopsis was.
please update it what happens after chapter 99
This was the worst book I have read in the 6 months of getting this app. I skipped chapters because it was redundant, and it kept repeating the same thing. It didn't even end properly. I'm definitely going to ask for a refund. I definitely didn't want to give half a star.
Amazing book!! Very well thought out and put together!!
Loved the book but the ending was rushed and leaves you wondering and hanging.
At its core, this passage is about innovation meeting tradition—and the tension between them. The clam oil represents something entirely new in this world. It's a product that doesn't exist here, something Lin Xiaoman has brought from “the other side” (presumably her original world or a modern context). The fact that it sells so well—“new and novel”—speaks to a universal truth: people crave novelty, even when they don't understand it. The iron pots they're saving for are symbolic of a threshold. Three taels of silver is the goal, and every jar of clam oil, every wen earned, is a step toward it. The pots represent security, capability, the ability to cook properly—to truly start their business. It's a classic underdog narrative: small earnings accumulating toward a larger dream. The hotpot itself is a powerful symbol. It's communal—people gather around a single pot, sharing food, sharing the experience of spice. The bamboo skewers, the clay stoves, the shared tables—this is food as social glue. The fact that the first reaction to spice is pain (“It burns!”) followed by delight (“It's so fragrant!”) mirrors the broader theme: innovation is uncomfortable at first, but those who push through are rewarded. Old Lady Lin represents the old order—cruel, dismissive, but ultimately powerless. The siblings' success is their rebellion. And the cold-faced young man in blue? He's a symbol of the unknown future—someone who will presumably become important, someone whose presence suggests the story is about to expand beyond the local marketplace.
I really enjoy this novel because it’s quite engaging and interesting. The reason I rated it 3 stars is due to the translation quality.
The translation was acceptable in the early chapters, but it has deteriorated significantly by the latest chapter. In the beginning, only minor corrections were needed, but now it feels like it’s a direct machine translation with no editing at all.
It’s particularly frustrating to see repeated paragraphs and inconsistent character names, especially the main character’s name. Additionally, the use of pronouns is often confusing, which makes the narrative messy, especially since the story is primarily told from the main character’s perspective.
It seems like the translator hasn’t reviewed the novel after translating it. They could improve the quality by asking readers for feedback, as many are willing to point out errors and suggest corrections. This way, the translator or machine translations can be refined to enhance the overall reading experience.
