Welp, have you ever thought about reading a xianxia novel where the MC is a arrogant stereotypical young master that are usually just scapegoats in a normal xianxia and are killed on sight. Well I for one, definitely did.
And then I found this book.
Well, the idea is same (at least on paper). The MC is arrogant, had flirt with thousand girls till now, does not starts out weak (or should I say, poor (Lamborghini reference). The entire world fears him.
He does not cares about anybody. Yep, perfect young master image. Except that he is lazy and the story is set in modern times. So all wents sh*t when the Hedonist system enters the book. And my immersion breaks (in a good way hopefully). He transforms from a young master to Yun Che. The system is like the Crazy Lich novel. Giving apesh*t objectives and punishments. So, it forces him to do which he is already professional in. Yep, you have already guessed it. The twist is, with girls he does not want to mingle. I though that was it. Until Martial arts and all those sects started coming in later chapters. Well, that's for you to read and me to know.
So, let's sum up.
Story - Yep, pretty fresh, I guess
Translation - umm, yeah, Very Good.
Characters - Qin Feng is Bae.
let's hope its remains good.
So. All in all, 4 stars hopefully. (But another + 1 for being a non-qidian novel, lol).
[collapse]Now, my True Updated Review-SpoilerBeforehand, let me please tell you gentleman that I have read this novel till chapter 1000 on mtl, of which I understood whats going on till ch 700. So for this review to be safe, I am putting the limiter to chapter 500. & English is not my first language, not second either. So lets get this sh*t together.
Plot movement [0.5] : Holy f*ck, What the hell is going on? Its so messed up. One chapter, our very "humble" protagonist Qin Feng is here. And the very next he is there. And it keeps on going here and there. Despite the semblance of plot that you are going to see expecting him to take revenge, go adventuring, rise to prominence, fight to higher realms. Dont expect to happen it too soon. Yeah it eventually happens, but not until you are eventually bored with this shit. What is the f*cking use then? As other review pointed out, the plot is somewhere in there. But moves at such a small pace that its virtually invisible.
Reader Fact: There are a few betrayals, of which some other readers might call it 'NTR' or 'almost NTR' in the future. Keep in mind that it is not. NTRed girls dont beg the MC to forgive them, or even do wild s*x with him to the point that you get hormonal discharge. Anyways, the point is, they do come back and remain loyal and lived happily after. That is if the plot ever ends. Moving on.......
And no girls were badly harmed during the process of writing this novel. So you may proceed safely. Long live feminist, YAY.
Character Development [1] : Now, this is where it gets plus. The primary characters of this novel are : Qin Feng himself, and his ever-growing harem. And hopefully they receive substantial amount of development. Harem development is a must for a novel like this, otherwise it will feel bland. But Qin Feng's development is something that can be appreciated though. At the start of the story he was a hemorrhoid, a pain in the ass. After 500 chapters, he will still be a pain in the ass. Just a lot less painful. I can say he will be an a**hole. But a good a**hole. Isn't this what girls like? A honest man, a good man (*nods like a sage). He will become more hardworking, more independent and *sigh more pe*verted. Things will happen that will facilitate his growth. So from this point of view. It indeed deserves +1 from me.
World Background [0.5] : Nothing much to say here. Usual exaggeration, combination of modern and fantasy world which does not fits really well with each other. Confusing science and numbers. Unlike in other xianxia or xuanhuan novels though, say CD or ATG where the more the world gets discovered, the more the MC will get to express himself. Its the opposite here, The more Qin Feng develops himself the more world background you will know of. If you still dont understand it means- Qin Feng will always be OP. Simple.
Last, Translation and Updates [1] : I cant say anything about it. One chapter a day is already a good thing. With quality translation. Gravity Tales indeed. +1
[collapse] That's it - To sum up.....1+1+0.5+0.5 = 3. Therefore, Medium.If you are a sucker for harems. Then its a 4. All done. sh*t is up.
