Been reading this novel for f*ck*ng years. Picked it up at around the start of 1st grade and was always keeping up with the chapters. I loved this piece of sh*t and then it got f*ck*ng axed. Don't bother reading the ending is so *ss
If you are interested in stories that delve into the complexities of abusive relationships and trauma bonding, this one might resonate with you. However, it's important to note that themes such as rape and confinement are prevalent, which can be distressing and triggering for many readers. This is particularly evident in the "sentinel/guide" genre, where these themes often play a central role.
This is the first sentinel/guide story I've read, and it quickly became apparent why the genre is often criticized for its reliance on non-consensual scenarios. The fantasy setting is designed to explore relationships that are often predicated on power imbalances and coercion, which may not appeal to everyone. Many five-star reviews attempt to soften the harsh realities of the narrative, such as describing Seo Eui-woo's repeated sexual assault of Kwon Jae-jin as a "rocky start" to their relationship. The author seems to want readers to empathize with Eui-woo, suggesting that his actions are somehow mitigated by the fact that Jae-jin was initially confined to his home.
The world-building and character development in this story are inconsistent and often feel contrived. For example, the justification for Eui-woo's actions—such as the execution of mutant awakeners—seems more like a plot device to create conflict rather than a well-thought-out aspect of the world. Jae-jin's character, in particular, is portrayed in a way that undermines the gravity of his situation. Despite enduring years of abuse, he is depicted as being surprisingly resilient and even grateful for the opportunity to "tame" Eui-woo.
The narrative includes several instances of Jae-jin contemplating or attempting suicide, but these moments lack depth and feel more like plot devices to heighten drama. For instance, one chapter mentions that Jae-jin attempted to kill Eui-woo and considered suicide, yet later in the same chapter, it's unclear whether these were actual attempts or just thoughts. The inconsistency in these portrayals makes it difficult to take Jae-jin's emotional journey seriously.
Furthermore, the story's portrayal of consent is deeply problematic. Even if Jae-jin agrees to sexual encounters, the power dynamic between him and Eui-woo remains profoundly skewed. Eui-woo's ability to force himself on Jae-jin at any time means that any semblance of consent is nullified. This is a critical issue that the story fails to address adequately, leading to a narrative that is both morally troubling and emotionally hollow.
In summary, while the story may offer some compelling moments, the heavy reliance on non-consensual themes and the lack of nuanced character development make it a challenging and potentially harmful read. It's essential to approach such content with caution and consider the impact it may have on your emotional well-being.
I appreciate the engaging narrative in this story, where a culinary expert and blogger时间旅行，变身农夫，带领家人走向繁荣。然而，我认为这个小说应该添加一个悲剧标签，因为大约三分之一的内容描绘了战争和围城的残酷现实，如饥饿、疾病、甚至食人行为，这些描写非常逼真且令人痛心。这让我感到非常悲伤，差点无法继续阅读。总的来说，这是一部出色的书，但如果你不喜欢沉重的主题和情绪大幅波动，可能不适合轻松阅读。这只是个提醒。
One of the novels that truly had me laughing from start to finish. Although the humor did wane slightly towards the end, it was an enjoyable read overall. I appreciated the FL's (female lead) relationships with both her seniors and juniors - it's refreshing to see supporting female characters serve roles beyond just being followers or rivals. The portrayal of the male supporting characters as a close-knit found family was a welcome change from the typical love triangle tropes.
The main love interest (ML) and romantic aspect felt somewhat superfluous to the story. The dynamics between the friends were so engaging that the ML's character seemed somewhat平淡 in comparison. I wished there was more focus on their early interactions as business partners trying to outsmart each other before the romantic subplot took center stage. Additionally, some jokes felt overused, particularly the one revolving around the junior sister's accidental physical prowess due to her cultivation background.
Despite these minor drawbacks, this Chinese novel stands out as one of the better translations, with its strong ensemble and engaging plot.
The novel "I Can Edit Skills" captivates with its unique blend of technology and human emotion. The protagonist's journey as they enhance their abilities resonated with me, reflecting on the power of self-improvement in a futuristic world. The plot kept me engaged, seamlessly weaving together elements of suspense and character development. It's a thought-provoking read that explores both the potential and ethical dilemmas of advanced technology. Overall, a compelling and timely story that left me pondering long after turning the last page.
I finally found this novel.
I read up to chapter 300 in the lightnovelpub site and forgot this after my account was deleted.
So far so goodHEHE
I agree
The strongest sword god is better
The Information and the flow of the story is organized
And I feel like reading it again except the ending disappointed me a bit
How can you compare that trash to this gem
It was an alright read. The story had some interesting parts, and the characters were decent. The pacing was fine and picked up as the revenge plot kicked in. I'm hoping for more kingdom-building elements in the future; personal strength is great, but I'd like to see more focus on his subordinates too
Seem very interesting so far, keep up the good work.
I like the book
