Good heavens! I've heard of people transmigrating, but never of an entire Shanhai Era transmigrating into modern civilization.
Because of the Nationwide Awakening Plan, the protagonist, Zuo Bi, awakens as a hotpot chef. His Awakening Stone even rates him F-class.
What he doesn't know is...
I'm an author who strives for perfection, and I know full well that readers are divided into two camps. My stories have always unfolded at an unhurried pace. Some readers may be used to protagonists getting whatever they want, with everything they lack handed to them. My work isn't like that. I believe most people aren't born into wealthy families, and we relate to stories through shared experience.
If you want to change the world, you have to work your way there, one step at a time.
Ordinary people move with the times. This story about Awakened Ones has no god's-eye view, and it isn't the kind of story where the protagonist treats his opponents like props and acts like he's above everyone. So the early chapters can feel a little oppressive in their realism. [If you don't like that, don't click in. I still hope to get a good completion rate.]
Of course, things won't stay bleak forever. This is a story about rising step by step through hardship and adversity.
This work is so beautiful!!!!
