(Reading with my brain engaged) This book by my brother has a detached feel, very refreshing and unconventional. At least among all the novels I've read, the art style is fantastic (the male lead is super handsome). On another note, compared to those novels that openly mention "simulation systems," the "sword spirit" setting in this book is excellent.
The author's writing is good, and the everyday writing is decent. It retains the classic light novel feel, but the problem is that it's a bit too righteous, especially the male protagonist's "turtle-like" nature. There's no cuckoldry plot, but the protagonist is very weak—weak in combat, weak in love, and weak towards female characters, tolerating everyone's disapproval.
Chapter 52: Male protagonist—a classic harem protagonist who's slow to fall in love, with the advantage of MAX combat power. Female protagonists—each possesses unique skills (.). Plot—is the daily interactions between the male and female protagonists, as well as system events.
It was good, but why did they insert the isekai journey in chapter 31 into the main story? Isn't this supposed to be a slice-of-life story? What's the point? I almost forgot about the previous slice-of-life scenes and skipped them. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
"Lonely George is dead." Chu Zihang, who was reading a magazine, put it down. "And at this time." "Lonely George?" Caesar didn't understand. "The last Pinta Island tortoise in the world was named George. Genji once said he was like that tortoise." Chu Zihang handed the magazine to Caesar. "It was found dead in that reserve not long ago.
The first ninety chapters are perfect; the writing style is unique and engaging, while also deeply portraying the male protagonist's personality, which is also interesting. The character is well-rounded and not just a typical plot device. However, around chapter ninety, there was a scene I didn't particularly like.
I think it's fine, as long as the author doesn't write anything offensive. Ugh, what a disappointment with the fireworks festival 🤦 If it weren't for my senior, I really wouldn't have been able to watch it.
This is a very good novel. I came across it once before but didn't read it because the rating was quite low then, and I was worried it might be a run-of-the-mill book. I saw it again today and the rating went up, so I gave it a try and finished it in one go. It has a strong Japanese light novel feel, and the writing style is quite good for an author like Tomato, so it's not boring.
I feel Hinata and her younger sister could be improved, as could the cat storyline and the isekai (otherworld) arc. For the Japanese characters, you could add the upperclassman's mother and teacher. Otherwise, the writing style and character development are fine. It's a good work with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Aside from the filler content using the system description, this new author deserves encouragement. Keep it up! 👍
I'm supposedly a Shanghai resident, attending a private high school here, while my parents work overseas long-term. In the mornings, my younger sister crawls to my bedside to wake me up for her homemade breakfast. My cute childhood friend and classmate are waiting for me on my way to school. A new transfer student, a rich girl, is my deskmate; she passes me notes during class.
