"Come here, we were just discussing the next virtual combat arena match, do you know what it is about?" - asked the boy.
Hopelessly wiping away tears of frustration with my familiar coat-sleeve, I shot through the, (thankfully) super-responsive automatic doors before glancing towards the board displaying Eve's flight details (ready to depart)…..No….No you can't leave yet…..Not yet!!!! Please God, I know I'm not the most religious of men, but please don't take away the one good thing remaining in my life!!!
"As if that would work on you," August said with pursed lips.
"Do we catch this royalty and exchange them for abyss cores?" Riveria asked. Didn't look like she was particularly worried about anything.
"What the f*ck is this?!" Uriel screamed on top of his lungs.
Then came my cooties carrying friend,
Leaving the two youths alone to look at each other with complicated expressions.

"Good," Hisako said.
This novel is far from perfect. Its main selling point is a fairly well done overpowered female protagonist. On the other hand, its main weaknesses are a terrible sense of blind Chinese nationalism, the weirdly stupid mind games that all the characters face, as well as the complete lack of research the author has done on any of the subjects presented in the novel.I first began reading this novel both because of the amazing review score it had, as well as for a cross-dressing protagonist. The story starts off quite well, with a female lead who dies in her own world but is pulled into reincarnating into a future world because of a "grandpa teacher"-like spiritual entity inside her mind. It continues on to quite hilarious descriptions of her mother and the other characters around her as she slowly progresses through life pretending to be a boy in order to be able to inherit her father's inheritance and legacy.The characters in the novel, up to the point I've read, are quite interesting. They're all varied in personality and working through their own motivations as they interact with our heroine Ling Lan. We have an overbearing mother character, a kind grandpa figure who's also a hidden ninja, a stupid yet competent AI assistant, as well as a wide range of friends that collect around her. Yet the most interesting character is still the MC Ling Lan, who despite being an incredibly talented girl pretending to be a boy, only has the single objective of having a normal life and ultimately giving birth to the most talented child possible.Another aspect of this author that I really like is her skill in describing battles. The author has a natural talent for describing and directing melee fights between individuals. While there isn't much focus on any actual martial arts or actual techniques, the author still does a good job with understanding the capabilities and physical limits of the human body and expressing the fights as a natural and fluid manner. However, at the same time, the author is quite terrible at understanding the limitations of non-human entities.This brings me to one of the main areas where the author has been negligent - her research into science fiction. This is undoubtedly a science-fiction work, but this novel does nothing more than throw around the jargon without understanding what any of it actually is. Ling Lan's "AI Assistant
