Great Book Recommendations, Fewer Reading Slumps
Books with lots of subscribers: urban, light novels, and historical fiction~ A step above newbies, but not quite a veteran reader~ These are my personal opinions, so please don't take offense~ My ratings are only: Solid pick (has something going for it) Must-read (really good) I'm out of things to read. I've dropped so many books halfway through~

Nothing special, just feel-good power fantasies. I don’t read brainless stuff.

Sure enough, writing this kind of novel is something that literary youths can't escape.
"Literary youth," your abilities don't match your understanding; it's as if you're a local resident with the memories of a time traveler, plus a plethora of flowery descriptions of inner thoughts—you're invincible.
Plagiarist suffering from "literary youth syndrome"
I just couldn't take it anymore; I couldn't stand it after reading Chapter 2. It's one thing if the original owner of this body had a pretentious, artsy attitude, but at least she was a student at a prestigious private university. And you, a transmigrator occupying her body, act all resentful and full of bitterness—who are you trying to fool?
Does the protagonist of this book also have "artsy culture syndrome"? I haven't read it, I just wanted to complain. How can a plagiarist like the protagonist develop "artsy culture syndrome"? It's so strange. 🙂🙂🙂
Something's wrong, absolutely absolutely wrong.
First of all, I paid to read it, and the more I read, the more something seemed off. A time traveler who got ahead by copying books, and then actually believed that those books were his own? Brother, it's one thing to fool others, but don't fool yourself and actually believe those things are yours.
Those who plagiarize are starting to have a pretentious, artsy attitude.
His identity before rebirth was not worthy of the protagonist's abilities in the book.
This book feels like an ancient urban fantasy disguised as a Tokyo literary masterpiece. There's less emphasis on praising the protagonist's awesomeness than on their battles with the antagonists. That's the typical formula for ancient urban fantasy novels—they practically want the whole world to target the protagonist after they become famous, and after one is humiliated, another immediately…
I'll just say this: in Japan, politicians, business tycoons, and literary figures treat the entertainment industry like a chicken coop.
This is a story about multiple identities... And they've already started using a second identity after only 13 chapters...
