The Abandoned Son Runs Rampant Chapter 590 Discussion

This is quite a fun level-up/poor-to-rich novel! I didn't know it existed until now so I was pretty surprised. It kind of has the vibe of "I Have Medicine" and "Legendary Master's Wife" but mainly in that the characters constantly work their way up the cultivation ladder with golden fingers that shock the world. The unique aspect here is that the MC and ML start off in the human world -- Modern Day China -- where the resources couldn't be anymore baren. I think that the story was best during this arc but that could be because my comprehension dropped a bit after the TL was dropped.

The tone of the novel is very humorous, and you have a very snarky and narcissistic genius for an MC and a cold but warm-hearted ML. Things to get repetitive after a while (the pattern of making money and improving is very repetitive) but if you enjoy that kind of development and you're just looking for a casual read to spend time on, then this is definitely worth a try!

I didn't finish it mainly because of the MTL quality. As more and more terms and names are introduced, it got a bit difficult to understand T.T Arc 2 (cultivation-world) is still pretty understandable if you're used to MTL. However, Arc 3 (immortal-cultivation world) is not as good. I can only hope that another TL-er will pick up the novel one day ;-;

CHARACTERS: 8.5/10

This is one of those novels where there's a very big cast. I gave the author bonus points for being pretty consistent all while managing to bring to life what must have been over a hundred?? characters.

Ye Fan (MC)

This is a Gong-Protagonist novel! Though, it's not quite your usual Gong-Protagonist (most are indifferent, from what I've seen, whereas this MC is loud and proud.) One can say that the MC acts the way a cannon fodder usually would. However, his luck after death and genius denied his cannon fodder fate LOL.

Bai Yunxi (ML)

An indifferent-shou with a warm heart. He's from Modern Day China, so he kind fades in the background of the MC a lot -- even if his physique is excellent. I think the author could have done more with him. I appreciated him in the Modern Day Arc, but after that, he grew increasingly... unimportant? He could have had more ambition, I guess, and not let the MC monopolize everything.

ROMANCE: 6.5/10

I still give props to the Early Romance, though some may find the stalking-aspect a bit triggering. At least, unlike most novels of this length, the author didn't forget to establish the relationship for a good long while before just jumping into it. And, well, I found the MC so shamelessly pursuing the ML to be pretty refreshing.

SETTING: 9/10

Although I wouldn't say that the novel settings are unique, the vastness of the world is impressive enough for a worldbuilding fanatic like me to go wild with inspiration for a while!

PLOT: 8/10

If you like poor-to-rich development with constant level-ups, then this is for you! I think the pacing is a bit too fast near the end, and it's also a bit repetitive, but overall, I think that it was a good experience.

PERSONAL ENJOYMENT: 8/10

I still prefer "I Have Medicine" and "Legendary Master's Wife" more, but that could be a bias based on the fact that I read those first LOL. This novel has quite a few good points on its own, so who can say! Maybe if I were able to read a complete TL, my opinion would be more improved as well.

RATING: 4/5

I think the novel is worth the read because I love epics and the plot development is my style~ However, if you don't like long stories and poor-to-rich development, this might not be for you.
