I am trying my best to give this story a chance and I want to like it, it even has a 9.8. But the writing is just.... meh. I am only 11 chapters in so please tell me if it gets better.
The MC, even reborn as a beggar, hardly struggles. Ofc I know he still remembers all his training and techniques and all, but he should be struggling a little more considering he should be malnourished and not properly trained. But whatever, qi and all that. I can look past it.
But what has really stumped me is when he discovers the secret storage room and he uses his own life force qi to open it, he even says himself he will be bedridden for 1-2 months. He's throwing up blood and collapsing and everything. Then he just ignore it for a bit and even lifts an entire wooden shelf. Okay, whatever, maybe there's delay. It almost seems like there might be (he looks haggard and tired), but then after the sect leader merchant confrontation, the MC is jumping off the roof and down the mountain to pursue them. Ok. He said bedridden, but maybe movement doesnt count. But then he's fighting them and using qi????
I really want to like this story. But there is nothing satisfying about this power fantasy when nothing feels earned. The accomplishments dont hit because the MC didnt struggle at all to achieve them. Even when the story itself says he'll be weak for 1-2months (which I thought ok, here's a challenge! he needs to prove his sect's lack of a debt in 7 days which will prove a problem if he collapses! he may have to get creative or really struggle to save his sect), the story contradicts it within a chapter or so and has him fight supposedly high level body guards. Not only is it not satisfying, its breaking the rules IT established.
What exactly is the appeal here? A story with the most milquetoast conflict.
Goddammit. Please somebody tell me it gets better.
knew that was coming, he was far too obsessed with her for there not to be some twisted feelings too. Not surprised tbh, i reckon the mother has been using some sort of magic to make herself irresistible and it was passed on to FL, so being around those two during your formative years (and puberty) while also having very intense feelings about them will definitely end up crossing some wires.
I hope he doesnt actually attempt anything on her tho, that feels too predictable and makes him cartoonishly evil imo
also they're arguing so loudly when Varkas and the sis are right there lmao
Ugh. Im already struggling to read, why is the MC so cringe? I get she thinks its a game, but she has no sense of embarrassment, and I've never seen a teenager literally throw herself to the ground and throw a tantrum. I think these moments are meant to be funny and I am trying to consider that she's a teen (tho, I think she's like 16/17? so not even a young teen), but her behaviour is so cringe its giving me second hand embarrassment and the jokes are not really landing. She genuinely is acting like a crazy person, yet she is surprised when they are treating her like a crazy person. No sht Yona! You're a weirdo!
But it has such a high rating, does it get better? I don't mind a playful protag, but 3 chapters in and I can barely read it. It has such a cool artstyle and I like its premise, please tell me she gets better soon
sorry can somebody tell me if the MC is a top or bottom or switch in this? like is just going to be helping the others be bred 'milked' ect, or will that happen to him as well?
