Pretty decent. At the time of this review, this novel is at a 3.5/5. I've read some absolute tr*sh that was 3.8 or higher and can confidently say this novel doesn't deserve a 3.5. Give it a shot.The setting resembles Ming Dynasty China. (If you've read or watched Apothecary Diaries, then that setting translates pretty well to this.) All the side characters are likable, and their interactions with MC gave me a couple of good chuckles. MC's moments with his older sister are especially enjoyable. (Don't worry, she ain't a part of the harem. They have a completely normal brother-sister relationship. Hopefully) MC isn't anything special, but I wouldn't call him dull. His internal monologues make him seem level-headed and sound of mind, but he looks like a crazy lunatic to everyone else, which he probably is. Usually, in these types of 'transmigrate into otome game' novels where the MC doesn't want to get involved with the story and live a peaceful life, some random, coincidental, and out of nowhere events make them get involved. This novel, on the other hand, actually has a reason for MC getting involved. His master is some Wuxia Seer or something and is just f*cking with him.
