Golden tea leaves's activites

This is just straight up ass, like astronomical levels of bad writing and pacing.

I was exited to read bcs people were hyping it up but this is just another power fantasy trip like many others. It's just hype moments and one liners with immediate dopamine rewards with little to nothing in between.

Fist of all, characters just become stupid and annoying immediately after encountering MC, they either fawn over him and fall in love or just become the most heinous asshole just to be fodder for him to kill without consequences.

Everything just falls in place for him just because he knows the future, he becomes a billionare in two chapters and beats up anyone who can use his brother against him, so there is literally no conflict to be explored in regarding his own family. Talking about his brother, he is a sweetheart but you can tell he was only included to build up good report with the readers, the author doesn't know what to do with him, so he is kept inside the house safe and sound with no plot relevancy, he is only here bcs the author understands that making the mc have a family makes him more relatable to the reader, yet he has no idea what to do with it.

Again, nothing goes wrong for MC, because he is "always one step ahead", so you never have to wait much before the next hype moment, which just makes the whole thing lose it's cool factor, since it's just another in the pile of feats. The plot bend over backwards to accommodate his decisions. For example, when he pitches the idea to make a specialised online market for the players because he saw it in the future, they all say that this is a great investment for the future, since the players were bound to invest in it, and that's a great idea if they can maintain a stead number of users, however in the earlier chapters we were told that the numbers of players will only diminish from this point on, it doesn't make sense for a big CEO to say this is a "great investment for the future", maybe the immediate income would be great but the future it's only a downhill slope. It didn't make sense in the previous lives and it certainly doesn't in this one, but the author just has to give this to MC to make him look cool.

The author clearly doesn't want to address any conflicts that can't be solved through the MC killing it, one example of this is the rune that just happens to erase all traces of his murders, all problems that could arise from a possible police investigation or related to one his allies (bcs the author made it clear he doesn't have friends, only allies) or brother finding out are ruled over by this simple rune, very convenient for him... Also the other character that comits murders, the ceo black knight, never mentions this rune, I'm sure someone as cunning as him would have at least seem it in the shop, but I guess he is not as smart as our protagonist.

Another thing that pisses me off is that the woman are treated horribly, they have little personality other than just likin the MC and being meek most of the time, they are not allowed to have agency if it's not related to getting into MC's good graces, they have no ambitions or dreams, they are here to support the MC and nothing more. That is not to say the man are much better, because all of they, call woman bitches and it's not until MC puts them in their place that they actually act like normal human beings for a while, before reverting and the cycle begins again. The author NEEDS to remind you that the MC is just superior to them, so they all behave like completely animals to contrast how cool MC is.

This is a minor point since the art is great most of the time but sometimes it becomes a mess during fights, sometimes it all morphs into blurs that are impossible to understand.

This is a great read for people who just want immediate dopamine spikes, but if you are looking for a deeper more meaninful story, you won't find it here.

This manhwah feels irresponsible, letting the MC blame himself for "not being able to control his own heat" and getting pregnant nonconsensually is basically blaming a victim for getting raped under the influence of alcohol, which is exactly what happened btw, he was clearly in a state where he wasn't able to consent to both sex and impregnation. Spreading a message like this feels very dangerous, I understand that this is supposed to be just erotic fiction, but I truly belive we need to exercise some critical thinking and scrutinise the yaois we read, even if they are kinda trashy eroticas in the end of the day. If we sit back and analyse the story MC's situation is a nightmare. Imagined waking up one day and discovering you are pregnant from a one night stand from a month ago, absolutely harrowing.

I also belive that even though the ML is clearly a lovely person to MC he still bypassed MC's consent in doing what he did, and so he still is a rapist. Mc also stated to be uncomfortable with his behaviour later on, and he still insisted on his advances.

I guess all I'm saying is this feels kinda iffy to get through.

Mc needs to grow a spine and impose some boundaries. Also why soes the second couple need to be saha and uijin? Saha is a fucking annoying bitch and the age gap is just uncomfortable. Also² ML sould grow some actual balls and communicate with MC for once, he is incapable of being real about his feelings and about the situation going on, wich just makes MC's floppy fish personality even more annoying.

(Ch130) Ngl this may be the most " Hot dog, taco, hamburger" manhwah I've read since solo leveling :/, it's not bad, but it's certainly repetitive.

I started to read bcs people said there is no harem, but all the girls that enter his fild of vision immediately start to fawn over him and it's starting to get tiring, can you guys confirm there is no harem?

Abysmal pacing we keep jumping from plot point to plot point whith no explanation and while I'm sure the translators are trying their best, I just can't digure out wth they are saying.

Don't piss me off with this shitty ml, you want me to sympathise with this abuser? Don't play on my face like this.

Gio is a better person than me cus I would have 100% called Honey something like Pissbird or something

Shj is clawing and bitting at the shonen tag, he wants to change it to shonen ai so bad it's not even subtle any more

Hmmm don't really like how liette and Noah's story got concluded, yeah she loves him and all, but she is still very much an abuser. He was ready to move on and create some space between them so both of them could heal, but nooooo, that freak blonde just had to be all " But you are familyyyyy, and I loooveee to fetishize youuuu pleaseeee!!!" Feels scummy and gross IDK. There could have been a real story about abuse and how family bounds you create around you are stronger than blood, but no, we have to keep the buff crazy woman because she is hot. Noah and Liette's story could've been a cool parallel to ou main brothr's story, it's a real bummer that it eneded the way it did.

Read until chap 52, ML is still pissing me off, does it ever get better?

I like the story, I'm not a big fan of the romance though, it kinda reminds me of Dandandan's romance, so eh...

Imma be real, there's A LOT of useless information that just gets in the way of the story. The visuals are stunning, HOWEVER, there are ways to tell a story even with heavy emphasis on style. Also, there are just too many flash backs, we don't need all of that to understand what MC went through.

Actually ewww, don't like the way Lu treats Daisy, werdo.... Guy does not respect the women around him and it shows...
