Nuclear Warhead Boiled in Alcohol
Itβs a Tech/Space type novel. And as most of the Space novels where you canβt cultivate, They make use of Gene strengthening to become stronger. The MC wants to become a pirate, That does not make this a One-Piece novel. The MC got a cheat AI which is quite OP right now. It can do almost everything other than directly attack. So far other than MC learning everything so quickly and his body having great plot armour, The overall story is good.
I normally don't write reviews but this time I felt compelled, I got 'sold' a book about space pirates but instead you get a generic Xianxia... IN SPACE. You get the ridiculously talented protagonist, not only is he a genius martial artists BUT also a brilliant apothecary/alquemist you know like always, let's not forget the mysterious background, then there's the wise helper in the shape of an accessory plus multiple female characters of high status showing interest in our MC (all of this in less than 40 chapters). Really the only sci-fy element that matters whatsoever is the VR stuff, otherwise just read something better like I Shall Seal the Heavens or some other xianxia novel that's actually good. **. The main character is bland and doesn't have a real personality.

Story summary looks like a Star Sea version of One Piece without the actual One Piece. Mc wants to become a space pirate and having the highest bounty is a way to determine ones worth as an outlaw? Very One Piece, especially the gene medicine bit, if that's not an alternative to devil fruit idk what is! Luffy was also classically trained under his Marine Hero grandpa as a future sailor. I mean I like One Piece, I like the previous book by the Author (or at least I did in it's early stages before it degenerated into endless grinding and op-ness). I'm willing to give this a chance. Will update review later maybe
While it's wrong to compare this with one piece, the mc is still the same as luffy, he's reckless, an idiot and naive (Not 100% sure on the last one since it's just 60 chapters) Another example Of this mc being a copy of luffy is that he cares more about his team than himself, even almost dying and instead of worry about himself, he still ask about his team. Atleast make preparations and make a heal potion or something, dumbass. Anyways sorry for the rant, it's not worth reading this novel if you don't like one piece, it's either boats and powers, or spaceships and powers.
Alright. So be warned. Itβs a disappointment filled with cringe and rip offs. Smh. A waste of a really good plot idea. Inspired by one piece doesnβt mean it has to be a rip off of one piece. And the characters are ridiculous and crappy with every possible novel cliche crammed in. MC is Sherlock, Bruce Lee and secret sealed talent with luck and super thick plot armor. The plot itself is too convenient and unbelievable. It seems the author loves details but canβt keep track of them. Sure itβs fantasy. But this is to the point if complete plot armor for every little thing and not in the good way of face slapping humor. The need to overly make every side character super OP even in a galaxy of million is retarded. Sigh. It doesnβt entertain. It just makes you cringe. This is a waste of so much effort and potential. If you wanna read every manga and cultivation novel with sci-fi theme rolled into one. Sure. Just donβt keep track of the plot development and read like you have amnesia.
I was hoping for an interesting pirate story, instead all I got was a boring trail of beaten-to-death cliches. The fact that it pretty much rips off One Piece is annoying enough, but then it isn't even good at it. I dont know, maybe I've read too many novels or something, but it was a struggle to keep reading when I could already accurately predict what was going to happen next. The main character's lack of any remotely interesting traits was particularly disappointing. I jumped ahead a bit, hoping for something interesting to happen only to come across the courtroom chapters....and reading those chapters made me give up completely. I'm sorry, the MC is bad enough, but his randomly op friend is even worse. I frankly have no idea how anyone could read that and stil take any of these characters seriously. An extremely average novel. Fine if you haven't become too bored of the classic cliches yet nor if you just really love this type of book, otherwise just save the effort.
This is nothing like One Piece. Just because there are pirates and bounties that doesn't mean there is the element of One Piece. If anything, this looks a lot like The Strongest Gene. Power system is nothing like One Piece, people need to use gene serums and do lots of training to increase their physique. 60 trial chapters are not always enough to show us whether a story is good or even a little interesting, but in my opinion this piece here deserves some attention since it's world background and story development has a lot of potential. Furthermore the power system can have some hidden surprises for us.
π§WARNING: This book is not for people who like detailed character development and logical skill learning and accumulation for the MC. (You've been warned) π₯ Translation quality is good. Readable and smooth albeit there are some typos as you read. π±I can't comment on the translation as it's still on "trial read" status right now, so I'll give it an average grade. π₯As for the progress of the story, I like it. The MC, though young, has a clear goal in mind already. For me, the story development is the highlight in this novel not the MC. π§For me, though it's easy to read, the character development sucks. MC can learn any skill in just one day. Add that to his mysterious bloodline and Neptune, he becomes your everyday boring MC. π±The world background is ok. Not new, not bad, and not good at the same time.
