The Myriad Worlds Exchange City
There is a fish in the Northern Sea, and its name is Salty Fish. It's too big to fit in one pot! The fire is hot and the water boils. The fish leaps into the sky and turns into a bird called Cai! The rookie spreads its wings. Pluck it and roast it, one on each of two grills! One with cumin, one mildly spicy! I've been reading for over ten years and enjoy sampling all kinds of novels. I'm a lazy fish who loves cultivation and a rookie dreaming of a carefree life. May all fellow cultivators achiev

It's disgusting to read. I came here looking for a lighthearted, enjoyable story, but I was fed a mouthful of garbage. What was the point of writing about participating in a race and being threatened with dropping out? The plight of a nobody? A transmigrated person with a system is so cowardly? If you actually won, would those thugs dare to mess with you?
Honestly, can we please not write about Sharona's girlfriend? Brigitte Lin was only really beautiful for a year; the rest of the time she was basically an auntie. And realistically speaking, a promising young man shouldn't choose her—a drug cartel secretary, and someone kept by Zhu Tao. I'm not watching Selena Gomez anymore... Rosamund Kwan... Michelle Reis... There are so many beautiful women out there, aren't they? Mona Lisa is also more presentable than Sharona.
Hong Kong variety shows still featuring a single female lead? It would be a miracle if they didn't flop! Stop talking about being innocent or not. Readers don't care about your character! If you're going to engage with online novels, you need to understand their rules. If you don't have the ability to break the rules, then you should honestly follow them.
As the title suggests, the female protagonist
Chapter Two: A Deterrent Suggestion. The protagonist, fresh from his transmigration, has no skills whatsoever and tries to reason with gangsters. Call the police? How low can his IQ be? Has he never experienced the harsh realities of life, never watched Hong Kong gangster movies, or forgotten he's transmigrated to Hong Kong? Does he think he's in mainland China? Is it a problem with the author's writing style, or is the protagonist's intelligence simply too low?
I saw someone say it was very immersive! I came in to take a look. I'd call you the strongest. Is the author even 16? Just one sentence for you: the person was arrested in the morning and released in the afternoon. What profession can't fulfill your ideals? Stop writing.
The protagonist's cowardly personality is infuriating. He's clearly a coward, yet he keeps making excuses about the education he received growing up under the red flag. Dude, no Chinese person is as cowardly as you, no one is a weakling like you. From childhood, we were taught to have sound values and not break the law. Even though we've never befriended anyone, everyone has been bullying your whole family, and you haven't dared to fight back.
The plot is alright, but the protagonist is too overpowered, and the female lead, Salina, is a letdown. You're a police officer, not some other profession; Salina's identity is too convincing. It would have been better to create a different female lead or one with a more normal background. Making the protagonist so perfect made me think the female lead would have some kind of powerful connections. This book's performance is likely limited and unlikely to improve significantly.
What kind of rubbish is this? Reborn with a failing degree, he's going to take the entrance exam for the University of Hong Kong and become a policeman.
After reading a dozen or so chapters, the protagonist is threatened with withdrawal from the competition, graduates from police academy and joins the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), dealing with petty thugs with constant subservience. He's always claiming to be a former youth under the red flag. All I can say is... 6.
