So, I gave this a 4 start review... You can split it up as something along the lines of 4.5 star translation review (some spelling errors, but ultimately very good and very consistent), and a story review around 3 stars.The premise is fun enough; main character getting tossed around by the random words of strangers is a unique idea, and I would have liked to read that story. Unfortunately, that story ended in chapter ten, and then it was just sort of... Generic Chinese novel story about what people look like, how much money they have, and how catty they can be about the money and looks of other people. Even the characters that are supposed to not be superficial are absolutely superficial. I mean, there's an entire chapter dedicated to the kind and beautiful female lead laughing at a less attractive woman because she dreams of dating the attractive basketball genius main character, allowing her to be humiliated due to an early corrected misunderstanding, and then laughing at how upset she is as they leave to have dinner together. Yes, grade-a human being.Anyway, it's a good example of what it is (modern Chinese wish fulfillment story), but using the entire premise as nothing but a setup to turn the normal main character into a stunningly masculine male model basketball genius super hacker that is also hung like a horse is such a sad waste of an interesting idea.
