    The novel showcases a protagonist with eternal life, yet all he does is lay low - for a whopping 300 chapters! Yes, 300 chapters of him hiding out. Unbelievable. Along with that, curse magic is introduced, a destructive force that's dependent on the user's lifespan, making it limitless for our immortal. Yet, bafflingly, he barely uses it without constraints. The novel has about 10% of gender pronoun errors too, making our MC a 'him' and then a 'her'. Maddening, especially for audiobook fans. But what truly grinds my gears is the complete mishandling of quotation marks. It's like they have never seen them in action before! The constant flip-flopping of pronouns and the misuse of quotation marks simply pull you out of the story, ruining the overall reading or listening experience.

    I am reading your comment to decide whether or not to read this shit, and it turns out you helped a lot. A fucking ruthless MC made into a goody-two-shoes a few chapters in. Why? I am not asking for a Reverend Insanity but chaotic evil with a level-headedness that doesn't care about anyone but themselves and their interests. That couldn't be too hard to ask for, could it? Either way, thanks for pointing out the landmine; sick of this garbage.

    The author didn't plan anything ahead, making for a super shallow plot, character and world-building. The story is about a transmigrator with an eighth-grader syndrome. He is constantly picking fights here and there with the cliche of being beaten down to by the end of the chapter standing up with OP power. Every four or three chapters, we are thrust into fights that we know he will never lose due to at least four plot armour devices, making everything he does so very dull. Do not read or approach with a 10 feet pole.

    Maybe my comment was too harsh, but I meant you copied concepts of the novels and not the whole plot. That would be ridiculous. And honestly, the other reason why I was critical of the novel's grammar was that it was mostly fine but at random a jarring times grammatical jumps in disrupting what I was engrossed in reading. A Grammarly account would probably solve this issue for you, and frankly, your writing was terrific. If you can pm me, I can share my Grammarly account with you to help out. Hmmm, honestly, talking to you made me want to give the novel another chance. And I'll do so in time, but I can't stress how essential descriptions are. I was thrown out of sorts with how fast the plot was progressing when I wanted to explore the MC's situation and environment more. Again, I realise that I might have been too harsh, but I was pretty upset as I loved the concepts of the novel but didn't enjoy the execution of it. No author is born pro, and no one can be perfect, but I hope that I came off as critical in an effort to help rather than throwing around insults.

    Honestly, the MC has an eighth-grader syndrome going on, he's "silly" and garbage of that sort despite reincarnating as a f00king ADULT; harem members are IMPLIED to be the MC's love interest but are thrown to a planet and are seen but occasionally. Oh, he does "text:" them, so that's all the "romance" you're getting here. The novel's development rocketed, and the pace was not that bad, but the emotions, world-building, the "cheat", and the like nothing gets a detailed description. I would not recommend reading.

    I can't recall really. I was looking for a book cover when I found it.

    Pros: Early on, the author attempts to write a coherent plot with several memorable harem members. The MC has an attraction to women who are already in a relationship and explaining that he broke the hearts of many girls when they started to leave their boyfriends for him. Because once they love the MC, he no longer has any attraction to them. Now that's a useful plot device. Cons: The author sucks at writing *** scenes, and I'm honestly more inclined to read his description of how the MC does things rather than anything he has written about ***. As a reader, I felt dissatisfied, but I continued, and here comes the number one reason I dropped the novel for good. The MC SUDDENLY cures his disease, saying that he can get the same satisfaction by making men drool over his women. This means that whatever was interesting in the novel was killed. And to add to this, the author forces the MC to reconnect to a few dozen relationships he had cut off, and this makes it so every two chapters, a new harem member is being introduced. This made it so the novel becoming a Pokedex of harem members more than anything else. Conclusion: I would not recommend the novel, as honestly, if you want sexual relief, ANYTHING else would work much better. And if you're looking for a plot, then you've come to the wrong place. Cheers

    Pros: The novel plot gives the "feel good" sensation that doesn't wear off with comedy hints every now and then. The premise of the novel is that a lucky guy got reincarnated, and his system gives him funds. The funds can only be used for his company etc. Meaning he can't use the money on himself. But there's a loophole, that is, if he can finish all the funds the system gives him in X amount of time, then whatever the MC draws becomes his own. However, things rarely work for the MC's benefit, and as such, he's stuck in a cycle where he creates businesses that he wants to run to the ground, only for them to become exceedingly successful. Any money from an enterprise funded by the system can't be used either. It's a decent novel, but it has its shortcomings. Cons: The MC is too fixated on losing money and finishing X funds before the Y time period. And as always, he has to fight with his business becoming "too successful" before the Y period of time ends. This was entertaining once or twice, but repeatedly for 290 chapters. The whole shtick becomes tiresome. Another complaint is the lack of emotional attachment the MC has to anything. It's like he's following a script, a robot, really. There's no variance in the story, and it's always predictable. Conclusion: I would recommend this novel if you've some time to burn. But don't expect too much.

    His actions such as calling Shield to clean up after every fight and the like are disappointing. But again, I only read 400 chapters.
