Idle Fish Goes Ashore
Dis novel is like Slice of life/ harem/ magic I really didn't like this novel. I've tried to, believe me, I've went up to the high 200s, dropped it multiple times just to come back to see if I was wrong and was met with more disappointment. Okay so let's start with the MC. He's a guy that died and then reincarnated into the body of a degenerate, royal prince of a clan that holds a lot of power. As a character, he is handsome af, is perfect in every way, but his only "downside" is that he is not used to romantic advances so he basically becomes thicc in the head like other JP MCs. Moving onto the supporting roles, we've got a **** ton of harem characters, like a lot of them. Every girl who he meets likes him in some way, even those who hated him likes him later. As for the guys, there are only two types, those who worship the ground he walks on and those who despise him though there is only 1 that fits into this category. The rest are forgotten like 5 chapters later. What I don't like about these characters are not tell fact that they are one dimensional, they all feel different, but here's the thing, they don't feel real. Much like drama students, everyone's interactions are heavily dramatic. I mean ffs, the students are giving each other names and are taking them seriously like "The Destroyer of Clubs" or "Princess". Trust me, as a high schooler none of us got time for that. We've either got homework, midterms, finals, actual work, making sure we get to class on time, etc that we are more worried about. We ain't got time for anything. And if you still don't believe me, here, lemme give an example. So there are 2 girls who are called the "Witches". They think of themselves as above everyone else and have like a crap ton of blackmail on the other students. These two face off against the MC and get absolutely just completely destroyed. Buuuuuutttttt the MC gives em a second chance, they repent and all that. The interaction between the MC and these twins are basically "okay, that other person exists, whatever I don't got time to bother em" and then like a hundred chapters later, their grand paps calls the MC to his home to thank him and makes them all friends because the MC "can't refuse" and the twins are hoping to be able to both date him simply because there is no one else in the school that is better. If that isn't enough evidence here's another scenario. One of the girls told MC she was gonna be the artist for his game. But she didn't want anyone else to know because she is secretly an ero artist. MC agrees to keep the secret and then when he goes back to like the main girls, he talks about the progress on his game. I **** you not, one of the other girls was able to "deduce" that the two we're most likely talking about the game and since the MC was missing an artist and musician, the other girl was most likely an ero artist since she wanted to keep it a secret. ??????????????wtf? So the characters, while unique, are fake after and I really can't get into it like that. ONTO THE STORY DEVELOPMENT Right off the bat, the story development is unpredictable, but just like character design, just because it is unique doesn't make it good. The story is very -convenient- you know? Okay so here are some examples. Our MC decides to stream for shits and giggles when his FIRST AND ONLY VIEWER that shows up is HIS SISTER FROM WHEN THE PREVIOUS GUY WAS A DEGENERATE. Okay you know, like 1 in a billion chance but that's like nothing in story telling. So how about that one time that when the MC started to delve deeper into magic, one of the regular girls thought that she didn't want to be left behind and so then the school magical spirit suddenly comes outta no where and grants her a mysterious egg that will hatch or something who knows, that will give her magical powers.??????? AND THEN, TO TOP IT ALL OFF, the student body president is like the princess of another magic clan and has some decent magic power, has like the previous president as a maid, who was also a magic user. So you're telling me that BOTH OF THEM did not notice this spirit the entire time they were enrolled there? Okay, so when their clan decided to send their kid to this school, they didn't check up on it? Enough about the story development, let's go onto the world background. It's pretty good, the story gave me like an info dump multiple times but I get the gist. Only problem I had was the author limiting the world to just Japan. Its like a lot of them forget there's a whole world out there. The author has told me about magic users inside of Japan, but what about outside? Considering how small Japan is to the rest of the world, it is quite convient how Japan (had) the strongest magic user in all of history and the only place that really existed +(the clan the MC is reincarnated into is also the descendents of this guy who may also be the reincarnation of the ancestor) Overall, it really feels like cleverly hidden escapism, 10/10 would review again
This was the best book I ever read, I wish the author was not stopped from writting it. The world is so cruel, to stop the this book from being continued. WHYYYYYYYYYYY. (Sobs...Sobs...) Author if you are writing something else please tell me which book your writing nw. So I can read it please... (Sobs...)
This webnovel has turned into a piece of garbage the last 200 chapters are mostly trash, only reason I’ve managed to read up to this point is because I have invested my time into what was originally a very good webnovel and I wanted it to become good again but after so many garbage chapters I am dropping this webnovel.
I rate this novel a zero. Unfortunately cant do that since one star is the minimum rating. The novel is ****. There is no dating in it and no trying to dateas well. Mc is beta(as expected of a japanese setting). He will remain beta probably for the rest of the novel. He is complete virgin and a loser. There is no sense of crisis in the novel becuase of save and load featufe which sucks. No dating ,no love ,no *** juat some stupid beta and virgin mc(japanese setting) and stupid cultivation and fighting(chinese). This novel took literally worst of both. Shit novel directly from the gutter in your plate.no development ,same generic save everyone mc.characterless female harem which is not even a harem but a loser's joke. Author shove this into your ass.
I'll just say that I understand why he's a 30yo virgin... Seriously there's 10 beautiful girls wanting to have a relationship with him and he spends most of his time cockblocking himself... wtf, the promise to Shika Kagura was the biggest bullshit reason to not date that I've ever seen... I feel that to get to a good ending this novel would have to have 2-3k chapters because things move so slowly; 400 chapters in and he didn't kiss any of the girls, didn't become a Yin Yang master and is still 15y.o (not even one year since he transmigrated...) At this point I feel like the author is regretting the fact that he made this novel a harem, he introduced 5000 girls and doesn't know how to make things work... If it's too forced it'll destroy the protagonists image and character that he's been creating for a long time, but considering his personality he's just not harem material... **: I didn't count the number of female leads, 5000 girls is obviously exaggeration. (Mika, Chiaki, Kaede, Purple Chick, Shop Manager 29yo girl (we all know that when an author gives the age, she's harem material), Twins, President, Vice-Pres, Maid, Ex-fat girl, Anime-sensei, Editor Girl, Little Sister, Littler little sister (maybe) and Ex-fat girl sister (maybe)) 13 couting only the ones that have more than 90% chance of being in the harem.
The novels been dropped at chapter 841 so for anyone who doesn’t know or wants to start reading, you probably shouldn’t because just when the story actually properly starts to progress it was dropped due to Chinese censor or something. It was actually very entertaining and interesting, Shane it was dropped😕
I commented it once but now after so much time i desided to check number of chps unlocked... (i was at 312) its zero-0. Do you want translate it till the end and get all chaps locked? I am intrested in world of this novel but it has pretty irritating plotline and MC personality, he is like saint Who cares only abot woman and If his offender is a man when he didnt mind crushing him(he have normalized relationship with twins who had trained their brother like a dog or puppy and caused him suicide). Author wants to write anime tipe novel, whith saintlike character who has datesim system but still dont understend women, have otaku thinking, and Girls stick to him because he is goodman, hero, saint and other resons which more suits novel for 5 year old child.
Honestly, the story gets very bland very quickly. The first 100 chapter were really good, but then it starts to go down hill (I read till chapter 150 btw). There were 3 main problems that I saw with this series: 1. Almost every action he does gets chalked up to "Because I'm an otaku". He saves someone because he is an otaku. He fights because he is an otaku. He has no other qualities besides being an otaku! 2. The MC is to much of a saint. He tries his absolute best to save someone who he met twice!! Who does that!? That's not even the wort part. Mc has a system that has the ability to go back in time, no repercussions. You would think that he would at least somewhat use it for himself, but no! He refuses to use it to win the lottery because he thinks it is unfair or do anything even slightly morally questionable. 3. If you were thinking that there would be romance in this story, then will you be surprised. I'm not even joking. You could honestly take out all of the romance in the story and it wouldn't affect the plot. I wouldn't care too much about it if it wasn't a DATING SIMULATOR. MC is also partially oblivious when a girl likes him. Some times he figures it out and just ignores it. Other times he is clueless even though he can literally see their favorability. I don't even get why MC doesn't do anything romantically. Of course his universal excuse is, "Because I'm an otaku". To give credit where credit is due, some of the plot buildups were amazing. If I had to rate it only on the first 100 chapters, I would give it 4 stars. MC is sorta smart. The comedy is decent. The quality of translations is pretty good. I might have continued reading but the rest of the reviews said that it was great till chapter 100. TLDR: "Because I'm an otaku"
Good News for all our dear author Idle Fish Goes Ashore fans, our author start another 2 novels. Yes not one, but two and even both of them received many likes and hundred thousands of like. So we can cheer on him and support him. This is our dear author qidian link https://m.qidian.com/author/9125539 We can expect in a couple of months this series will be picked and translated.
All side characters have fvcking problems and all of them are being intruded by MC and forcing himself to be on the way to solve it. Ffs he got a goal to be shaman king yet he kept wasting his time baby sitting all these mother fvcking side characters. And yeah, let me remind you, all of them likes MC. He got a lot on his plate and he ain't doing sh*t about it! We still don't even know what he did to be exiled, it's all vague. Author kept introducing new useless characters, and for what? So that the story won't have any direction at all? What's the point of having all these new cards if he can't even use jack squat?! I was hyped from the beginnin, yet I kept being disappointed. Every arc I tjought of dropping the novel, but I always give it a chance and hope that it might get better. P.S. it won't get better.
