A Veteran Reader's Review-Style Guide (Entirely Subjective)
Must-read (95–100) > Brilliant (90–95) > Excellent (75–90) > Good (60–75) > Not worth the effort (below 60) Every book the author has seen through to completion represents a great deal of hard work. My ratings are subjective, so feel free to agree to disagree.

98% Of the book review section is filled with pictures posted by this guy; there's not a single proper comment, which completely kills any desire to read the book.
Actually, the writing is quite distinctive, and many parts are good. The reason it performed so poorly, in my opinion, is partly due to its single female lead. A typical characteristic of a single female lead story is that it's a sweet romance, with few or no other female supporting characters.
Dilraba
This male lead would have been more popular if he had any other profession than boxing. Writing about the Chinese entertainment industry and having the male lead box? I'm not exaggerating, nobody in China knows anything about this kind of person; they'd just read it and forget about it.

Truly vicious
First of all, I skipped through it, so it didn't cost much. Since you mentioned a single female lead, writing about a female celebrity would probably only result in ambiguous relationships at most. I get excited about fighting Japanese people, but Sho Kimura portrayed him like a gentleman, making the protagonist seem like a complete idiot. I understand killing someone in a proper boxing match, but continuing to fight after winning just doesn't feel right.
Is it a harem or a single female lead?
The story was officially announced on Weibo after only a few chapters. To be honest, I'm really indifferent to Dilraba's looks. She's definitely pretty, but she's not my type. I can find appealing in the looks of the other three characters—Kanazha, Li Yitong, and Meng Ziyi—but I just don't feel anything for Dilraba. How are they going to write the rest of the story if they announce it right away? Are the other three just casual acquaintances?
The people have suffered under the influence of Yang and Liu for too long, and it is hoped that an author will stand up and set things right.
The idea is great, but the author went into the wrong industry. If they had retired and moved to Hollywood, their success would definitely have been better. Also, the author must really want to sleep with Dilraba Dilmurat; it's practically turned into an erotic novel.
