I Know Everything

Occasionally, I ponder why certain narratives idealize main characters (MCs) from system stories as if they're demigods. It's ironic how these MCs rely on external assistance, like their systems, just to survive. How can such naively arrogant individuals claim, "If heaven ignores Shen Huan, there'll be an eternity of darkness"?

The book is an enjoyable read, despite occasional poor translations that are still comprehensible. Its pace is crucial given the slow nature of the narrative. Although there are hints of romance, it remains undeveloped, and the protagonist accumulates wealth and items from the system, but they've been stagnant for over a hundred chapters. The main progress in the story revolves around expanding social connections and acquiring skills, but it doesn't feel like it's leading to any significant change, merely recycling the same plotlines with different abilities.

The character dynamics are appealing, and I'd be interested in observing their relationships grow, but given the length it might take for meaningful progression, I'm uncertain if I'll continue to wait.

This is an enjoyable novel with a compelling harem, but the ending feels rushed and unsatisfying. The characters who were intriguing to the main character throughout the story, without any deep romantic development, suddenly become part of his harem and bear numerous children. It's disappointing how the author wrapped up the story with a "10 years later" conclusion that falls flat.

It's quite decent. There aren't many cliches, but if you're expecting a story about the protagonist achieving fame, this might not be for you. He deliberately keeps his identity somewhat enigmatic.

spoiler alert:

When he acquires a song from his home planet, he intends to pass it on to someone else instead of attempting to sing it himself (although I can understand his hesitation)....

If you prefer a protagonist who remains relatively unknown throughout the narrative, this could be a good choice.

I'm providing this review to give readers a clearer understanding since the original description felt quite ambiguous. The story revolves around a protagonist who reincarnates into a 16-year-old orphan's body, living in a world similar to Earth but with cultural disparities. They obtain an unreliable system that occasionally intervenes, aiming to boost their fame, but the main character steers clear of the entertainment industry's drama.

The protagonist resorts to plagiarism, borrowing songs, literature, and movies from our world in a non-conspicuous manner. The translation by TraCan is satisfactory for comprehension.

What sets this character apart is their laid-back personality and genuine goodness. They're viewed as a genius, but without excessive fanfare or excessive praise from online admirers or strangers. They use aliases and haven't monetized their endeavors significantly, primarily using them to support friends and their adoptive family.

In summary, the story is solid and maintains a relatively low-key pace.

In essence, it's IRAS minus the nationalist elements, with reduced emphasis on physical confrontations (though it does happen, but it's not the main objective for the protagonist). The story features a sort of harem dynamic. The system he interacts with is similar to the one in IRAS, but it's sentient and playfully challenges the main character by assigning missions. Whenever he accumulates significant wealth, the system prompts him to donate it to build his reputation as a future star, ensuring a steady flow of work to prevent suspicion of being a talentless hack. So far, he hasn't acted on any romantic relationships, but there are three girls who seem destined to become his partners once he grows up, given that he's still in high school.

The narrative revolves around a 26-year-old man who suddenly finds himself transported to a parallel universe where he takes on the form of a 16-year-old, a shy and socially awkward florist with a sparkly appearance. He lacks parents and has an adoptive grandfather, whose relationship is unclear. Despite the unusual circumstances, his new personality remains fairly normal, using his past experiences to employ strategies from his old life, particularly in dealing with girls. The story currently lacks a detailed backstory for this character. He possesses a mysterious system, whose full capabilities are yet to be revealed by the end of chapter 16. The presence of his childhood friend and her family adds depth and charm to the plot, and the translator has done a commendable job, with only minor errors and occasional notes breaking the flow. Overall, it's an enjoyable, light read so far.

The more I observe, the angrier I get with this main character. He's lavishing 66 million yuan on a song from the system, which he plans to gift to a female companion, without bothering to improve his own life or treat himself. He freely gave away numerous songs to a stranger he barely knew, and it resulted in nothing but a brief encounter. If you dislike such irrational characters, maybe skip this one.
