Genshin Impact: An Extraordinary Life Starting with Playing Hu Tao

Brothers who clicked in, be prepared for some stress! This isn't a wish-fulfillment novel (though the title might seem like one). Don't expect the protagonist to receive any special treatment (unless he's bullied by both sides simultaneously). The author's writing style is decent (I, with my limited education, was quite taken aback).

I've only read the first dozen or so chapters. If it were just a simple transformation story, not a Kurumi impersonation story, it would be alright 🤦 But as a Kurumi impersonation story, it's a bit of a disaster. The background setting is vague, the protagonist is supposed to be impersonating someone else, but he never feels like he's Kurumi, and his own name appears far more often than Kurumi's.

I couldn't continue reading after chapter 29 😅 I don't want to read any further. Besides the content, the titles are what attract readers. Chapter 29 was painful to read, and I was initially curious to see how things would turn out, but the titles were just so-so. Plus, I just finished reading a really hard-to-review section, so I simply didn't have the heart to continue.

The art style is unique, and the character portrayals are also quite good. In terms of the three main elements of a novel—plot and characters—the background story of this book is excellent, and the main character is also well-developed so far.

The writing style is delicate, reminiscent of female-oriented novels. While the plot is clearly driven by various elements, it feels rather drawn out. There's a lot of flowery language and unnecessary dialogue, excessive internal monologues and character descriptions, which feel overdone and lack focus. It's somewhat like an ensemble piece, but aren't most readers drawn in by the walnut in the title?

I think the character settings are quite good. It's one of the few good books that suits my taste. The characters have very positive values. Of course, some of the idiots add a lot of fun to the otherwise dull plot.

As for the role, the protagonist has too many inner monologues.

Unexplained psychological changes and sense of responsibility

Having gotten used to all sorts of satisfying, cathartic stories, it feels really strange to suddenly encounter a relatively frustrating one. And these positive reviews are so weird, they're like a honeyed poison, a mass-produced fake. When reading web novels, especially fanfiction, I still want something less frustrating, especially with my favorite characters. I'm outta here.

So pretty! 😏😏😏😏😏
