Flower Stealing Master Chapter 230 Discussion

Pretty good so far. This is basically just glorified fanfiction, but you can enjoy reading this without reading the original novels. The MC is very familiar with the novels and typically will talk about who people are and their relationships with other people. In fact, if I had read the Jin Yong novels before this I might have been annoyed by that, but going in with a vague knowledge of a few books it was easy to follow and enjoy. But there's a few issues with the novel despite that. I'm less than 1/10th through the novel so I'm sure its going to feel dragged out by the end of it. Spoiler

The main character reached like A tier martial arts really quick, then hit like A+, then got crippled, and then practiced a new technique and reached like A- tier real quick. That new technique is s*xual in nature so it really seems like the start of the story if that makes sense, but he keeps reaching like top tier master status, not a pinnacle master but top tier in like half a second so I don't know where it's gonna go when he reaches the peak, and who he's gonna compete with. And if he can reach A tier in half a second but it takes him 2000 chapters to reach S+ tier, it's going to be frustrating to read. Also like just from the name you should be able to tell that this is a novel with s*xual components. He r*pes one girl in like chapter 10 and then doesn't f*ck anyone for like another 150 chapters, and then its like he's having s*x like every 5th chapter. Feels like the s*x slowed down after like 10 times but I imagine it will pick up again at certain points in the story. If that's an issue for you, then don't read this.

[collapse] A lot of people say that this authors next work, Keyboard Immortal is better, which is making me interested in reading it even though I'm completely burnt out on system novels. Overall like a 4/5, maybe 4.5/5, but the way the MC talks about trans women means I legally cannot give this a good rating. Seriously IDK if trans women was an inaccurate translation or if the author really just does not like them but I was about 50/50 on dropping this every time he talks about them.
