Honestly, I randomly found this novel and rushed the first 10 chapters, but it's more fun than I thought so I kept reading till now.The first thing that makes this novel so surprisingly enjoyable and captivating is the MC settings. The MC here in this novel is not OP, he's actually quite a pushover. He doesn't even have any cheat skills or systems, everything he has is the body of the original character (talent) and his knowledge of the future. Aside from that, he struggles to survive any ordeals coming his way. When he's cornered, I automatically thought: "Now something cheats skills or outburst will happen to save the MC", but NO, NOTHING HAPPENED. He either gets saved by someone or loses the battle cleanly, without any cheat skills or such. :) This makes me engrossed in the novel in a pretty strange way since it's just something reasonable, realistic, and familiar, but not clique like other possession novels.The only thing I quite dislike is the pushoverness of the MC. Since he's exposed to many life-threatening dangers (and being deceived many times, how naive), he's very careful and calculative (he learned his lessons), but maybe his impression of the original novel is too immense, causing him to doubt and make use of the people (characters) around him even though some are actually good people, and they help him. This makes the MC kind of heartless in my eyes, probably because he hasn't seen the people around him as completely human yet, and just characters in a third-rate novel. One thing, I like is how the author always pushes him to interact or cooperate with the villains of the original novel, and he realizes they are actually not villainous but just foolish and too naive or incompetent. This makes the interaction between the MC and other characters interesting. Overall, the novel is good, it's like a fresh, new, familiar yet not clique or mediocre work. I'm looking forward to new chapters.
