My Basement Connects to Another World

Skipping the earlier parts of the story to get a cheat code is understandable, but why skip the first time you start exploring the world? And what's the point of having a prince from another country if you don't even understand his identity? It's not appropriate for a prince to appear in such a small town; the whole town would know by the next day. You think the local nobles wouldn't know?

It's written in a strange way, with a kind of beauty in using fantasy novel terms to write foreign novels, mixed with some deliberate translation style and stereotypes about foreign countries. At the same time, although it is said at the beginning that the protagonist is building a harem, it is very greasy, really greasy to death, and it's no use being mentally prepared.

He sleeps with women in the real world, and he sleeps with women in another world. He's gone through a hundred pages, and he hasn't accomplished anything.

New readers, this isn't a harem novel; it's a male-oriented Mary Sue story disguised as an isekai (otherworld) novel.

The author's writing was initially quite good, but then they spent over thirty chapters describing the customs, culture, and social background of the other world. Perhaps readers would become curious about the other world and patiently skip ahead, but then the story immediately jumps to romance after returning to the real world… This writing style is problematic.

It feels awkward to try and force an overseas fantasy theme into a story about ancient Chinese fantasy.

Don't write the reality so awkwardly. The fact that Chinese conglomerates don't work in America, and the jealousy and rivalry are so cringeworthy—just skip this part and don't write about it again, or I'll really throw the book away.

I always felt something was off, but then it dawned on me. Isn't it strange that a foreign prince, living in a Victorian setting, would occasionally throw in a few lines of classical Chinese poetry? It's normal for a Chinese-American to know English, but tell me, how did you translate those classical poems into English? It's so awkward, it's completely jarring.

Can you please stop with this ridiculous mix of Chinese and English?

The first three chapters were a complete failure. They were filled with a bunch of self-absorbed family background introductions, interspersed with a few narcissistic passages, which made them uninteresting. Background introductions could have been summarized in 200-300 words first; no author starts with an entire chapter of background information.
