This novel has its pros and cons, as all novels do.From my perception, the strongest points are the romance, the MC, and the harem; it also has a bit of comedy. It's definitely not a novel dedicated to wearing your head off; it's a light, relaxed, and entertaining read.The female leads are nothing new or novel, but they have interesting personalities, and the author is knowledgeable and experienced in achieving fluidity in dialogue, resulting in interactions or situations between the MC and his women that are not boring.On the other hand, the MC is well cast because he is the villain of the story; he is practical, ruthless when required, and not a simp.The low point of this novel is the system.The system is fine for what it intends, but it is flawed.This is an urban novel, but the MC is not the ''hero'' of the story; he is the villain, and that is great, so the story reads from the point of view of the MC slapping the ''hero'' and thus gaining system points. With the help of the system points, the MC can acquire the skills he requires, but the system is very OP.It is not OP because the MC has the ability to obtain the skills he requires with points; the system is OP because the MC, being the villain of the story, has a remarkable economic backing—hundreds of billions of yuan, to be more precise. The skills in the system can be acquired with money, which should not be the case.Basically, the MC is broken, and I love that, but this may be uncomfortable for some readers who prefer a less notable MC.
