I love the concept of a delivery rider traveling to different worlds and timelines. So far, it's been quite enjoyable. The laid-back vibe with the all-powerful system Songsong and the intriguing worlds make it a fun read.
One significant drawback for me, however, is the overt nationalism and anti-"that one specific island nation" sentiment. It really puts me off whenever it comes up.
I'm still far from finishing the novel but I'm taking a break from it for now :D
Summary: Freshly graduated and unemployed Yun Tutu accidentally applies and joins an illegal delivery operation—delivering goods across dimensions! Follow Yun Tutu as she gradually transforms into an interdimensional delivery merchant.
Why I stopped reading: The novel is extremely nationalistic. When the plot arc about altering Chinese history to avoid learning English appeared, I rolled my eyes but found it somewhat acceptable since preventing colonialism isn't a bad goal. Then, Yun Tutu registers as a government agent, allowing the government to assist and protect her while also benefiting from her trading activities. This seemed interesting and logically sound. However, the issue arose immediately afterward with the repeated and excessive nationalism, compounded by outright racism. The novel's deep-seated hatred for "the island nation" is particularly troubling, even going so far as to accuse them of causing an apocalypse. The constant negative references became too much for me. I was looking for a feel-good novel, not one filled with racism and nationalism, and featuring bland and boring characters. It's a real shame because the concept is so intriguing.
This was chaotic. All the clichés and dumb characters in a book. With all the cheating, the love triangle with the sister, the fake pictures, being drugged, the awful parents, being dumb and doing dumb things. Just horrible.
