MUY BUENA LA HISTORIA
This is a very nice book. My best character is Scarlette. Her love and loyalty to her sister and willingness to sacrifice anything and everything for her. It's commendation, kind of unhealthy but commendation.

This novel, like any other, has its strengths and weaknesses.
From my perspective, the standout elements are the romance, the main character (MC), and the harem; it also includes a touch of comedy. It’s definitely not a heavy, brain-draining read; instead, it’s light, relaxed, and entertaining.
The female leads, while not groundbreaking, have engaging personalities, and the author’s skill in crafting fluid dialogue ensures that the interactions between the MC and his romantic interests remain interesting and not monotonous.
The MC is particularly well-cast as the villain of the story. He is pragmatic and ruthless when necessary, and he certainly isn’t a pushover.
However, the novel’s weakest point is the system.
The system serves its purpose, but it has significant flaws. This is an urban novel where the MC is not the traditional hero; he is the antagonist, and that’s a refreshing take. The story is told from the MC’s perspective as he outmaneuvers the "hero" to gain system points, which he can use to acquire necessary skills. However, the system is overpowered (OP).
It’s not just the fact that the MC can earn skills with points that makes the system OP; the real issue is that the MC, being the villain, has an extraordinary financial backing—hundreds of billions of yuan, to be exact. In the system, skills can be purchased with money, which undermines the balance and fairness of the system.
In essence, the MC is incredibly powerful, and I enjoy that aspect, but it might be too much for some readers who prefer a more balanced or less dominant protagonist.
We've arrived, and this series is truly one of the most ordinary among its kind. It struggles to even approach the threshold of goodness. The best the novel can muster is adequacy; it never rises above that, often being average, occasionally mediocre, and worst of all, boring and unpleasant. The book has numerous issues that quickly become overwhelming after about a third of the way in.
Some readers might view it as a light read, but I respectfully disagree. It lacks the quality required for that label. If "snack reading" refers to skimming most chapters and reading a few lines per paragraph, then perhaps it could qualify, but otherwise, it falls short.
Here are some key issues and aspects of the novel:
1. Character development is weak, particularly for supporting characters. Women characters are either head-over-heels in love with the main character, portrayed as damsels in distress, or lack depth beyond their physical attributes. Men characters are either one-dimensional enemies with absurd ambitions or bland friends. Both genders suffer from poor dimensionality, making them forgettable.
2. The main character (MC) is a poorly developed self-insert, dense, and heavily reliant on plot armor. His personality is a generic list of positive traits, without any real substance or growth. He disregards the advances of other characters and doesn't acknowledge their efforts.
3. The antagonist is a shallow, cartoonish figure with flimsy motivations.
4. The plot starts off slow and uneventful, then abruptly shifts gears around chapter 200 with a poorly conceived villain.
5. The fighting scenes are decent but not exceptional, lacking originality and imagination. They serve as a saving grace, but the lack of stakes and convenient resolutions detract from their impact.
6. The technology and measurement system are underexplained, which might be understandable given the complexity involved, but it contributes to the overall平凡ness.
7. The world-building is passable, with some basic descriptions of geography and political landscapes, but it's not a standout feature.
In summary, the novel is heavily mediocre, offering more mediocrity than usual. Its redeeming factor, the battles, keeps it from being a complete dud, but it still earns a low rating. If not for the decent fight scenes, this would easily be a 2-star read.
I found it difficult to continue reading further. The story lacks depth and purpose. The author attempts to depict the main character (MC) as composed and mature by constantly reminding us of her calm demeanor, but her actions contradict this. Upon realizing it was a misunderstanding, she refuses to give the love interest (ML) a chance to explain and hastily assumes the worst, even blocking his number. This behavior hardly aligns with maturity or composure.
Moreover, the MC's reactions are inconsistent. She becomes overly anxious about not being able to change her outfit for a dinner, struggles to justify herself to her mother, and fails to communicate her feelings to ML, which doesn't demonstrate maturity. Her interactions with her friends feel shallow and uninteresting, as they mainly discuss mundane topics without progression or substance. The author fails to provide vivid descriptions of the characters, such as their appearance, clothing style, or personalities, which is crucial for establishing a connection with them.
After 20 chapters, I still have no clear image of the MC's physical appearance or personal preferences. Despite her claimed love for art, there's no evidence of her engaging in any artistic activities. The author missed an opportunity to showcase her character through a scene of painting or expressing herself creatively.
The fact that the story takes place within a novel context feels irrelevant if the MC isn't invested in it. The MC's lack of concern raises questions about the reader's investment as well. The MC's parents, initially portrayed as caring and protective against arranged marriages, exhibit conflicting behavior with constant reminders and pressure about blind dates, almost treating their daughter as a means to impress others.
In summary, the story suffers from numerous flaws, lacking a genuine slice-of-life feel or emotional healing aspect. The promising premise is undermined by poor execution and a clear lack of storytelling effort. At its core, the narrative feels hollow and unfulfilling.
Finally someone can describe it. I was also quite confused by the strange change in POV. Moreover, it is difficult to get a depiction of the world with these writings
