Awesome story... I love everything about it...Well written, the background is amazing and can be understood even if you're not Chinese. Of course, the profound stuff will just sound like nonsense to us, Americans, but it's bearable nonetheless. The only two faults with this novel are the fact that it has too many Chinese references that non-Chinese people will never understand. For lack of a better way of describing it, this is the type of novel where a river is never just a river, it is a dragon circling the heavens in a ying-yang sign of blah blah blah... Doesn't make sense to me... The next issue is the fact that 50 chapters in and only about four days have passed throughout the story... the story is so slow... and when I mean slow, I don't mean slow in progress... I mean slow because the author spends half the chapter talking about all this Chinese stuff that we will never understand anyway. This novel is amazing, there is no doubt about that, but this isn't written for everyone... just a very targeted audience of Chinese readers in my opinion.
I would definitely not say this is a great novel or anything but it's God damn fun if you just want to turn off you mind and laughwould recommend if you don't care about the over the top wish fulfilment and just want to read something dumb but enjoyable
Felt like readers are being herded to this by editors choice mark on trail read. And all the 5 star reviews. Don’t be mistaken, this novel is absolutely struggling to reach mediocre and escape from trash label. It’s not completely trash, u can read it as last resort in isolation. I mean you could be doing ANYTHING productive, but u can read this too. Ok, reasons: pairing up bro and sis? Ok, not blood related, but we’re grown up like them till his 18th bday. When parents are the ones pushing them together? No thanks. 2000 hrs in future, humans went galactic. And Chinese brought the cultural baggage with them all the way? The humour is not completely humour. Because it’s a Chinese novel trying to be Japanese with its strong mother, henpecked dad, beta MC, and Chinese elements. I rated it all 1 because the novel is rated too high for its worth and it needs to be brought down.
I actually like it. While it is not the most mentally challenging novel, it ain't braindead with countless plot armor devices that save the day. It has its plotholes and plot armor devices, but they are not overbearing. Just hope that it continues its pace and doesn't suddenly become a drastic overwhaul.
