    This is offensive to my eyes. The fact that anybody was able to even get past the synopsis reduces my faith in humanity.

    This is really good! The amount of significant achievements one can attain in a high-level academic field like superconductors is low- all major discoveries come from group collaborations and there are often lots of politics involved in distribution/attribution of credit and authorship. Adheres to the protag’s fear of losing his work to someone else, v. well done.

    It wasn't that he didn't know that technology like chips and semiconductors could slow him down, but he knew that even if he aloneknew the direction, with the help of a small cheat that could only increase his learning ability, he wasn't confident in leveraging the momentum. In the end, time was still too tight…

    Extremely rushed start without any character introductions or descriptions. A cheat system thrown in because why not. I don’t want to say anymore. Rubbish. Trash. Garbage.

    I know I’m necroposting, but just wanted to chip in. The during 10-12th century China, the “fire lance” was invented, the proto-gun. Basically strapping a disposable gun component to the neck of a spear, used as a shock weapon. It did eventually become used more for its ranged component later on, eventually becoming the first handcannon. The technology spread through the Middle East to the west. The reason why China eventually went back to using archers and crossbow men is not conclusively known. A theory is that they had greater rate of fire and so were generally more effective. Don’t quote me on this part though.

    Earth Online had a considerable degree of freedom of choice within it. Ouyang Shuo could, even without the basic skill, make a raft. It only required the appropriate materials, tools, and knowing the method to do so. The same principle could be applied to gunpowder, glassmaking, winemaking, and other kinds of technology, all could be achieved in the game.

    Actually I like the idea of him writing a diary. While he has quick memory, we don’t know exactly how good it is at preserving information chronologically, so a diary serves as a good method of time-keeping. Also it can help him vent, since being a transmigrator creates a layer of separation between him and natives. This is further increased with his unlimited lifespan, so it can probably be considered some form of therapy.

    You can. Between Chinese and English, if a name doesn’t have a direct translation, you can translate phonetically instead. For example, Roland in Chinese is Luo Lan. Usually translators will prefer to translate a Chinese name like Luo Lan into its phonetic equivalent rather than its direct meaning for ease of understanding. They did not translate the street names, which is IMO a mistake, since it’s not outlandish to have a street called “Red Flower road” as opposed to leaving it as “Honghualu” or something.

    When they were about to enter the museum, Roland suddenly asked, " Oh right, there seem to be a lot more beautiful ladies on Liuying Street. Do you want to go tonight? "

    It’s eluding to the level of society of this medieval world. The stuff above is describing how poor people are in genera and the level of separation between classes and hunting at how Eli wants to eventually be able to change that, hence the “don’t be reckless”. Though to have this motivation from merely seeing poor people as opposed to seeing nobles abusing their powers in broad daylight is a bit of a weak motivation, but people are different in the regard.

    "Don't be reckless. We'll talk about other things when we're strong enough," muttered Eli as he looked at the silver moonlight.

    Looks promising! I don’t believe I’ve seen this particular premise done before and the synopsis looks pretty coherent. I have expectations for this translator. Must admit, cultivation video games have revived my interest in this genre, everything has come full circle.

    Saw this many months ago in the trial section. The premise looks interesting, especially since there are not that many novels that cover space exploration which get picked. Only red flag is the AI, but we’ll see.

    Well well well, if it isn’t something interesting. An actual novel and not “my super mega hot stepmother harem a million bajillion money falling from the sky fantasy simulator wizard bizarre OP MC wish-fulfilment self-insert plagiarised garbage”.

    Seriously? It sounds so clumsy to me. I feel like “Appropriator of Fate” is much more fitting, with added pomp and formality.

    This ability came from the Dancer's corresponding Sequence 5, Fate Appropriator!

    No, that’s actually correct too.

    Nope. Just look up any “OP MC” “System” “Cheats” novel tags and you should find something suitably trashy.
