Swallow An Ox
I really dislike it. The MC doesn't feel human to me. The fact that his reincarnation is the reason for the system's existence doesn't have much interest. The romance is really atrocious and unnatural. The Author probably never had a good teacher, given how he pictures teachers. Overall an average novel, but I'm not the intended recipient.
well there is the normal chinese propaganda.. not too overwhelming but there are some very weird things about the world.. so there are 2 countries in the world. the "Dragon empire" (china) and the "Western empire" which i think is usa. there are the normal Google, Linux, Samsung and Linux mentioned also Fruit (apple) but that's it.. the world and story is completely based on how western empire is currently stronger in technology but mc turns the tables and makes dragon empire stronger.. also western empire classically is the bad empire with only bad people and dragon empire is the glorius empire.
Read the raws, it's great from Chapters 1 through 100, pretty good from Chapters 101 to 160, frustrating from Chapters 161 to 250, Chapters 251 to 300 were so bad I had to skim through them because of how the author started to rush the story (I was too invested and had to see how it all plays out), Chapters 301 to the end were trash because the author rushed the ending, made all the build up pointless, and scrapped the entire premise of the novel. So much wasted potential for both the story, characters, and system. The author littered the novel with racism and nationalism to an insane degree, made horrible character decisions, and ruined the novel. A waste of my time and braincells, I'm going to pretend everything past Chapter 160 never happened.
I loved the concept of this novel the system is amazing and the first fifty chapters or so were so good but unfortunately after that it devolved into nothing but nationalism and face slapping that you normally see in modern day Chinese novels, I kept reading for another hundred chapters or so hoping that it would get back on track but no luck. I sincerely hope that someone makes another novel with a similar system and that it doesn’t devolve into pointless nonsense.
I have infinite dislike for authors who write about technical topics having absolutely zero experience and understanding of those... Programming is, unfortunately, my cup of tea and what is written about that in this book makes me kek inside... TLDR.: Facial recognition algorithm in 58 lines of legitimate no-library-using code; ten times more efficient than 200 something lines model algorithm...
Apparently this has been dropped. It’s marked as “completed”, but that’s just a polite euphemism for “author got bored and ran out of ideas.” There are 25 chapters remaining, but the author wants 2000+ coins to unlock the privilege and I, for one, am not willing to spend $50 for the last, rushed ending of a dropped novel. Shame, really, as I was enjoying this quite a bit and wanted to see where things were headed.
I legitimately just couldn't even finish the trial read due to how bad this novel is. The system feels fine, but everything else about the world and characters feels wrong. Things just don't play out how they should and there's an obsession with face slapping boring characters in uninteresting ways. Teachers are actualyl fine tho for some reason, they are actually pretty good.
Definitely some issues with this novel. The MC's rapid rise to the top of the class and the abysmal romance/drama made it one of the worst fictional experiences I've had. It started going downhill around chapter 200 out of 350, and the last 50 were a painful struggle to finish. The ending was even worse, and I've encountered some truly bad endings in my time. The MC felt detached from humanity, and the connection between their reincarnation and the system's existence lacked interest. The romance was atrocious and unnatural, while the author's portrayal of teachers revealed a lack of understanding. Additionally, the story heavily promotes Chinese propaganda and showcases a simplistic dichotomy between the Dragon Empire (China) and the Western Empire (USA). The latter half was marred by nationalism, forgotten characters, rushed plot points, and an abominable ending. Despite the initial promise, this novel ultimately disappointed me.
Thugs are going to get interesting as you go along... but in a heavily political way where America (sorry "Sunset Empire")'s top tech owners amd it's ambassadors, reporters attitude and mannerisms are ripped straight out of a Xantia, the evil overloard template. I mean they are possibly not the greatest people, but easily angered narcissistic neanderthals is the default (& so far only) template. Also the retaliation event later on. I don't think the MC whom is considered a genius by that time (or the author), considers what happened in hospitals, doctor's offices and similarly sensitive infrastructure, this is not a good guy by any means(though he is painted as such).
