The Tales of Shuimu
Had potential but turned trash. Instead of disabled little suster, it became lonely little girl that is his neighbor. Of course it just soldifies that most Chinese get hard when looking at little girls and they all have hero complexes. They are pathetic in real life and hence churn out their fantasies in these novles.
This story isn’t anything amazing, but I found it entertaining. There’s a lot of action as the MC is very proactive, nothing like the low-key MCs. One of the other reviews was strangely fixated on the girl next door, who was literally only in three chapters before she’s taken to a safe location by her dad and disappears from the story. She plays a very small part in the few chapters she’s in and there’s nothing inappropriate in them at all. Her role is basically just to highlight the effects of the spiritual awakening on even just kids. The other reviewer just seems to have a dirty mind bent on finding things that aren’t there. 😅 One complaint I do have is the system doesn’t really seem to be an AFK system? It seems to activate every 12 hours regardless of what he’s doing. Even when he’s fighting in the wilderness for days, it activates every 12 hours without fail.
Not a bad overall read. It’s slightly similar to AFK, just with a slightly less standoffish protagonist, modern setting, and not as OP system. As for the neighbor, she was only in the story for one chapter really — the only lengthy interaction they had was when Qi Shu saved her from a wolf that had found its way into their neighborhood. I don’t know what other people were reading, but it was a perfectly normal scene. Do give it a try.
