The reason this web novel deeply touches my heart lies in its relatable themes for many young readers. It explores dreams, hope, the clash between old traditions and modern technology, the misconception that wealth equates value, resilience, and the generational divide between the elderly and the young. What captivates me the most is the concept of destiny, presenting a serendipitous connection that intertwines two lives over time, weaving their stories together.
The simple yet profound narrative showcases the power of relationships, which can be fleeting yet enduring in our memories. The female lead (FL) embodies strength and determination, overcoming adversity and striving for happiness through her dreams and values. She defies the stereotype of a helpless "white lotus," proving herself as a skilled embroiderer and compassionate person despite life's hardships.
The male lead (ML) earns high praise for his attentiveness, gentlemanly nature, and thoughtfulness. Their relationship demonstrates the depth of love when both individuals go above and beyond to accommodate each other's needs and desires. For instance:
1. He respects her boundaries, declining to pressure her into staying overnight even though he wanted her to.
2. He shows care by sending nutritious food to his struggling cousin and rushing to her aid when she's in trouble.
3. He treats her as an equal, valuing her opinions and intellect, even inviting her to a restaurant where he is a VIP without making her feel inferior.
This story serves as a reminder that true happiness comes from pursuing one's dreams and standing firm in one's values, while also nurturing meaningful connections with those who share unconditional love.
Well, the ones found are really bad translations.
The translation went to shit after around 83-85 chapter and its really annoying. First his title was "heavens wing" now its "sky soarer"... And calsey got changed to calce? Why?
The initial setup of the story is intriguing and delves deeper than expected, but as you progress beyond chapter 120, it becomes apparent that the author fails to provide the necessary depth. They often skim over crucial events and character interactions, which could have been expanded to enrich the main character (MC) and supporting characters' backgrounds and emotions. Unfortunately, the side characters remain one-dimensional, responding solely to the MC without any significant development. For instance, when the MC records an album with Miley Cara, a renowned singer, the scene is disappointingly underwhelming – the author merely states that it took 12 hours, without any description of the actual experience. This lack of detail reveals the author's inexperience and a lack of creative focus, suggesting that the story might be better suited for a manga or manhwa format rather than a novel, where rich descriptions are expected.
This is a captivating novel that masterfully combines themes of unconditional love, historical suspense, a touch of horror, and unforeseen plot twists. The rollercoaster of emotions it evokes is truly exhilarating. The main character's unwavering loyalty to their love interest across 12 lives is both heart-wrenching and awe-inspiring. What sets this story apart is that it subverts the typical power dynamic - instead of the seme (dominant) protecting the uke (submissive), the uke holds a significant level of strength, turning the conventional dynamic on its head.
There are a few plot inconsistencies and moments where the protagonist seems overly fortunate (Gary Stu), but the writing is strong enough for me to overlook these flaws. The main issue is the unsympathetic characters, like the scum gong and the dishonest family, who are incredibly frustrating. I find myself rooting for the main character (MC) and love interest (ML) to bring them down, preferably through a fiery downfall involving dog food.
The MC's backstory is tragic, as he was forced to hide his talents due to being a substitute for his unlikable sibling. His adoptive parents manipulated him into mediocrity to ensure their real child's success, and their two-faced friends contributed to this. They deceived him, taking advantage of his talents and draining him emotionally. The audacity to cheat him out of a crucial art competition opportunity without considering consequences is bewildering. The antagonist, Bai, doesn't seem to possess the same abilities despite the favoritism.
This story isn't the most stress-relieving read, but I can't stop reading because I'm invested in seeing the despicable characters suffer. I despise the lawyer, the boxer, and, of course, the fake, self-righteous Bai. Their actions against the MC are unjustified, driven solely by jealousy over his role as a stand-in. For two years, they treated him poorly, then suddenly expect forgiveness. Perhaps the long-haired character could change, but he needs a harsh wake-up call, emotionally and perhaps even his pride.
The main couple's chemistry is adorable, and the ML's intense affection for the MC is perfect for my preferences. In my headcanon, in the original timeline, the ML, now a darker version, saved the MC from his toxic family and friends, which greatly improved his mental well-being. They went on to live a happy life together, with the ML known anonymously as an acclaimed artist. I just want them to be happy, and that's what matters most.
Overall, it's a decent read, but not the best I've encountered, earning a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
I usually don't write reviews for this kind of content, but this particular one has accumulated more negative feedback than it should. Let me share my thoughts on the series so far, which fits into the typical power fantasy trope with swords and magic. The pacing is brisk, with short chapters that make it easy to imagine the translators completing 3 to 20 installments daily if they dedicated themselves.
The main character (MC) might be somewhat unique due to his attitude – he's cocky, a bit of a brat, yet generally compliant until authority pushes him away. He's overpowered and aware of it, but seems to lack self-awareness of just how extraordinary he is.
Now, addressing the concerns raised by others:
Spoilers ahead:
First, the MC's demeanor: Although he's a teenager, think of him more as an American from the '90s. His arrogance and belief that he knows best are evident, but he generally respected authority until it was removed. He is indeed powerful, but might not grasp the extent of his uniqueness.
Second, his termination: His job was to support the party financially through tasks and combat. Initially, he might have been fulfilling his duties, but his focus shifted to a unpaid national project, which interfered with his primary responsibilities. The firing was fair given his neglect of his contracted work. However, a more diplomatic approach would've been better. The side business was significant but not part of a typical adventurer's role; a mage or similar profession might take it on, but after that, a career change would be appropriate.
Lastly, his response to being let go: It's understandable for him to react as he did, since he wasn't compensated for defending the country. But his method was rash – he should've communicated the issue to the guild or government, gradually easing the restrictions over several weeks to allow them to address the situation and provide adequate compensation for his continued involvement.
In conclusion, while the series has its moments, the MC's character and the handling of his side project have drawn criticism. It's a common power fantasy, but with some flaws that need to be addressed for a smoother reading experience.
You will find that a lot of these comments are from me through my journey of reading this story and I can sadly say I don't know what happened but it's almost incomprehensible right now the translation the editing it makes the story very confusing and the joy that I got reading it I don't feel anymore I'm trying to say one of my favorite light novels ever might end up being dropped by me simply because I can't even read it anymore I hope they fix the translations
