I can’t believe people are liking the reviews made by people who didn’t even read that many chapters. There’s one that one read 3 chapters and one that only read 9. To the one that only read 3 chapters: how can you say the MC wasn’t smart when you were barely introduced to the character?I think the story is pretty well written, not super amazing though. My issue with it is that while MC is pretty smart, it’s not really showcased in business. When people are scheming against them, they survive due to their cleverness but I felt like a huge MAJOR plot point relies heavily on the fact that MC should be amazing at business. The author glosses over most of his business decisions and transactions and most of it feels summarized. Spoiler
The book that’s mentioned in the summary? It’s kind of important and a lot of people actually know if it’s existence and want to obtain it but it’s only mentioned in the beginning and then the MC totally forgets about it until the very end. I just feel that given how much people valued Tao Mushu and think MC is his predecessor, MC should have been a lot more impressive.
[collapse] Also, the ending is very rushed. There’s build up on who can be the enemy and whose colluding with who and then when you hit like c80 (with 7 chapters left) you get a whole summary of all the mystery that happened in the past, who is the actual enemy, and how they defeat the enemy all in one go. Made the build up feel anticlimactic.You can never go wrong with a translation from Chrysanthemum Garden. I think the translations from the old translator aren’t that great but the ones on CG are a lot better.
