    The primary issues I encountered with this novel were the forced nature of the romantic relationships. After acquiring a stable girlfriend, the protagonist intensified his already questionable connection with the bar manager, which eventually led to a misunderstanding when his girlfriend discovered evidence of infidelity after a brief dating period. She even blamed herself for not stopping him from flirting, solely due to the harem genre. This forced the protagonist to openly flirt with other female characters, including while his girlfriend was drunk and asleep, which struck me as unrealistic.

    Additionally, some of the abilities he gained, such as basketball skills and Deadpool-style regenerative powers, felt unnecessary and served no purpose beyond being plot devices. Using basketball as a subtle display of prowess at school before reverting to a low-key persona, and regenerative abilities and combat skills without an action focus, seemed out of place in a slice-of-life story.

    Once the protagonist decided to stop hacking, my interest waned, as I had hoped for a more engaging cat-and-mouse chase between him and the government. The subsequent storylines failed to captivate me. While the overall reading experience was entertaining, a rating of two seemed too harsh, so I settled for a three.

    At first, it was decent and quite intriguing, but as the story progressed, it turned out to be utterly ridiculous. It's not one of those stories that you can simply read without engaging your brain, as the author's writing style is incredibly lazy. Moreover, the main character becomes highly annoying to follow. It's baffling what goes on inside the author's mind, and another mystery lies in how they manage to use a computer and express themselves when their thought processes seem so incoherent.

    "Hilarious jokes about his single status, hehe. Apart from that, the skill descriptions are impressive, and the hacking aspects have been quite engaging so far. Thanks a bunch, TL-sama, for all your hard work!"

    The writing is excellent, with a captivating pace and a compelling narrative. It stands out as one of the best modern stories I've come across. The plot avoids cliches, making it an enjoyable read. I eagerly anticipate each new chapter every day - a true gem I stumbled upon, highly recommended.

    Although the summary might sound unusual, the story itself is delightful. Having read numerous Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Indonesian titles, this one ranks among my top five, possibly even top two. It's exceptional.

    First and foremost, I commend the translator for their dedication during challenging times due to COVID-19, and the translation quality is impressive, staying true to the original source. I hope they have experienced better circumstances since the economy started recovering.

    Now, onto the novel itself. Although the premise of a cool and composed protagonist acquiring skills unexpectedly is intriguing, the story takes a disappointing turn after the last update at chapter 65.

    Issue #1: The author's portrayal of the main character is highly problematic. After quickly securing a girlfriend, Bai Xiaochun, in just two chapters, the MC becomes a constant flirt and insists on projecting a player image. The actions described, such as lying on other women's laps, shopping with them, and prying into their personal lives, border on inappropriate and give off a disturbing vibe, reminiscent of Jeffrey Epstein or Bill Gates' controversies.

    Issue #2: Lackluster skills and shallow storylines contribute to the novel's downfall. The skills the MC acquires are underwhelming, and the chapters are excessively brief, turning the narrative into a mundane slice-of-life tale. The story relies heavily on filler content, focusing on daily activities without any substantial development or progression.

    The plot lacks tension and meaningful application of the acquired skills. Skills are introduced haphazardly, without proper buildup or context, and resolved within a few chapters, leaving readers unsatisfied. For instance, the depiction of Deadpool's regeneration, basketball prowess, and hacking abilities feel forced and unexplored.

    In conclusion, while the translation is commendable, the novel suffers from poor character development and a lack of depth in its plot and skill usage. The author appears to struggle with storytelling, resorting to clichéd scenarios and shallow interactions.

    While this might not be the pinnacle of literary excellence, its light-hearted drama and well-balanced elements make it a more appealing choice for those seeking an alternative. For readers weary of intense action in cultivation novels, this story offers a refreshing, tension-filled experience with a touch of lightheartedness. However, it's important to note that we appreciate the hard work of the translator, but our eagerness for timely updates necessitates a more consistent release schedule. We kindly request a replacement translator who can meet our pace. Thank you.

    At first, it was quite amusing, but the focus shifted too heavily towards romance. Typically, this is where the story takes a predictable turn: the protagonist (MC) ends up with the number 1 beauty, which is a common plot point. However, from there, the character's behavior becomes overly romantic and illogical, as they engage in inappropriate actions even though they are in a committed relationship.

    The MC, despite having a girlfriend, continues to flirt with another woman, Li sister, which goes beyond mere flirting. The justification for this infidelity is often portrayed as the girlfriend's inadequacy, suggesting she fails to meet his needs. It would be more reasonable if their relationship were not officially defined.

    Furthermore, the story falls into the cliché of a low-key hero, facing unnecessary scrutiny like when accused of theft for purchasing a necklace worth 19 million yuan. He initially lies about its price, putting both himself and others at risk. This kind of excessive display of wealth and power in urban genre narratives often feels more engaging than this instance, where the MC is unable to provide for his girlfriend properly.

    If you're looking for something light and have limited reading options, this might be suitable. However, if you have a variety of other appealing titles, I'd recommend those instead. Overall, my rating would be 2 out of 5.

    This modern world novel is an enjoyable read, featuring a protagonist who acquires extraordinary abilities not from a quest system, but in a unique way. As described, our main character (MC) unintentionally gains new powers or skills based on the remarks of others during interactions. The story follows his daily life, sprinkled with occasional "gifts" that are both entertaining and intriguing as we watch him learn to harness them.

    So far, the author has done a commendable job maintaining balance, keeping the MC's powers grounded without disrupting the world's setting. However, there's a hint of a twist – the addition of Deadpool's power might challenge that balance in the future, which adds an exciting element of unpredictability.

    One standout feature is the incredible translator, almost godlike in its speed, making the reading experience all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend giving this novel a try!

    Alright everyone, let me share with you. This discovery is fantastic. You know those Chinese web novels that often have clichéd plots and can be quite cringe-worthy to read? Well, this novel bucks that trend. It may rely on stereotypes and lack uniqueness, but it excels at what it does.

    I must clarify, if you're seeking a deep, intricately woven narrative with hidden symbolism or complex romantic entanglements, this might not be your cup of tea. Instead, it's a lighthearted read with a likable protagonist – he behaves predictably like a typical webcomic hero, but without going overboard. There are no villains purely created to make the main character's life miserable or win hearts through violence (at least up to chapter 58). The portrayal of characters is grounded in realism, like when they play basketball without unnecessary conflict, choosing to shake hands after an impressive game.

    I could provide numerous reasons to give this book a chance, but in one concise sentence, here's my recommendation: this novel is entertaining and enjoyable, allowing you to read without overanalyzing – just pure fun. So, go ahead and give it a try!

    I don't typically engage in reviews, but if you're seeking a lighthearted and amusing read with a unique twist executed well, this book might be right up your alley. The author has demonstrated impressive creativity in crafting the narrative, and I appreciate how they avoided making the protagonist overly arrogant or self-centered, which is often seen in Chinese light novels. As I've only reached chapter C32, I can't offer a comprehensive analysis, but from what I've experienced so far, the book starts off on a strong note.

    The hacker's abilities were utterly useless since he never even attempted to utilize them. When he was targeted for abduction, he failed to gather crucial information. The author truly botched a well-planned plot twist. I despise it when the main character pretends to be weak—it doesn't resonate with my preferences. The healing, combat, and physical prowess he possesses are underutilized. Frankly, it feels like a wasted opportunity for a promising narrative. He transforms into a stereotypical Chinese playboy, showing no concern for the world around him.
