Changing its name to Teddy Learning Math Olympiad would be even more explosive.
As I wrote, it turned into a story about the entertainment industry. These female characters appeared more often than the original female leads. I initially thought it was just for fun... You could add the female entertainment industry characters you want to write about to the character list, and let me know so I can avoid any problematic characters. If I knew, I definitely wouldn't have read it.
The actions of Tang Yufei's parents seem a bit excessive. First of all, this constitutes kidnapping, which is a crime punishable by imprisonment. It's impossible for the two of them to take Tang Yufei away by force unless she cooperates obediently and goes with them. Secondly, the characterization of Tang Yufei doesn't align with her upbringing.
Current findings: The growth of Aquaman. How to become a great arcanist, Aquaman. The untold story of a scumbag and his thousand girlfriends. Aquaman and his three good sons.
The beginning was quite interesting, practically a gem, but around chapter 200 it turned into a story about the entertainment industry, where the protagonist accepts anyone, even public transportation—it's pretty absurd.
The author didn't choose the right category... Urban fiction has stricter censorship; fantasy or science fiction would offer much more room for creativity... In the science fiction/fantasy genre, there are authors who have written about being the only one who can do it all, single-handedly conquering America and even becoming the supreme ruler of the world...
It started off quite well. The theme was novel, with a unique urban setting and an interesting story. The author was very serious about telling the story, describing the details as much as possible. You could tell that the author probably thought about more than what was written, showing that they were a very meticulous author. You could feel their dedication while reading.
The word "arcane trick" is really jarring and ruins the immersion. The direct translation sounds too much like machine translation; at least find a more contextually appropriate alternative…
I'm impressed that you dedicated a whole chapter to explaining the levels of aquaman skill.
What a waste!
Author, with your writing skills and ideas, why did you have to write about an urban magical lover? It's really boring. I read for most of the day, and there was more filler than plot. It's still a very uninspired urban romance. You have great ideas, but you just write about everyday love and romance every day. Especially the part about learning magic to become a lover, I was really poisoned by it, and you even justified it.
