Honestly, I don't even remember which chapter I stopped at, but I dropped it when the author started piling on the cringe with that "best friend." The MC was dating Rihanna and wasting time on nonsense like Crocs ads, meaningless flexing, and acting like a crypto scammer—cheap show-offs with expensive cars and playing to the crowd. Since there were only a few new chapters out at the time, and I could tell the author had run out of ideas and motivation, I dropped the novel.

Considering the original, I think we needed a Chef of Chinese cuisine XD

This is a classic mistake of the Google Translator, in Chinese there was the usual "take a picture", and Google translated it as "take a selfie". Everything is fine in the sense, but Google does not understand the context, that this is a novel and chronologically it is 1991.

A decent novel, but overly slow at times—artificially dragged out with unnecessary drama. Pros: A solid protagonist with the cheat ability of future knowledge. The writing quality is decent overall, especially the film selections, behind-the-scenes details, and reactions from critics and audiences. The author clearly put effort into these parts, so props to them. Now, onto the cons—let’s break them down in detail. First-person narration. This works well when the character is the sole storyteller, but in this case, it doesn’t. I’d even call it the author’s fundamental mistake. First-person narration creates inconsistency in storytelling. When it’s from the protagonist’s perspective, it’s fine, but for plot reasons, the author suddenly shifts to other characters’ viewpoints. This kills reader engagement—people simply don’t care about side characters. They already have the protagonist’s thoughts, emotions, and life to follow; they don’t give a damn about some random side character’s struggles. Had the author written the entire novel in third person, these issues wouldn’t exist. The plot would’ve felt more structured, logical, and smooth for the audience. Pacing issues and artificial stretching of an already slow plot. I get why the author clarified in the synopsis that the protagonist isn’t an adult time traveler but a boy who gained future knowledge through déjà vu. I might’ve accepted this if the novel didn’t open with a scene of the protagonist’s mother in a threesome while high. The author likely intended to portray the protagonist as more mature due to a rough childhood, but instead, it came off as bipolar disorder. One moment, he treats the nightmare around him as normal (or just brushes it off), and the next, he’s getting offended by an 8-year-old kid. Sometimes he acts like a rational adult in tough situations, and other times he’s screaming "Daddy!" over a birthday present. For a real child, this might’ve worked, but here, it just creates cognitive dissonance. Weakly written side characters. The irony is, if you want your side characters to feel deep and alive, you have to write from their perspective—but readers inherently don’t care and just skip those parts. Because of this, characters like Evans become annoying. It’s not that people hate him—it’s that he’s poorly and hastily written. You simply don’t care about his "tragedy." You don’t pity him, you don’t sympathize with his loss—the only thought that comes to mind is: "Oh, so just when I was relieved this annoying guy was going home, the author killed his family to force him to stay and keep irritating me?!" The same goes for the excessive drama in other moments, like the protagonist’s depression over trivial things. Because of the issues above, none of it feels believable, and everything afterward just comes off as pointless padding. All of this could’ve been avoided if the author had used third-person narration and put a bit more effort into the characters. :3

As a fanfiction based on The Witcher, this work is quite average, scoring about 2.8 out of 5. The fanfiction has many flaws, including: The plot is very long. The Chinese style of writing with its author's tropes creates the effect of unpredictability in the further plot. The humor and romance rating is 6+. The character dialogues are often ridiculous and meaningless. The characters seem too cardboard-like. Changing the canon for the sake of the female protagonist is a very controversial point for me. Even with all these disadvantages, the fanfiction can still be read because there are not many extensive fanfictions based on The Witcher, and most of them are abandoned. So it's worth giving this work a chance, but not on this site because the translation is terrible! I'm not sure if there is a translator or if it's a customized script that changes the names of the monsters from the ridiculous Chinese adaptation to normal English. Or if there was a translator, but they stopped translating after a couple of chapters. It's almost like machine translation, if we could forgive the original author. After all, he is Chinese and is very unaccustomed to these Western names, so he often confuses the names of the characters and sometimes even calls the mc Geralt. But the translator put everything as it is, which once again proves that this is a machine translation that has been edited through some script, but that's all.

WTF? Translater is die, or what?

Witcher 3 on phone?

Is this a real translation, or a machine translation edit? If this is a real translation, you as a translator hopefully removed the system of nobility added by the Chinese, you removed it right???👀

This should be the job of a translator. The person believes that they know both English and Chinese, so they should be able to edit the text rather than just use a machine translation from Google. However, it seems that they are also unaware that there are no counts and other similar terms in Westeros.

Well, you're right, the author wanted to write about a happy ending for his favorite characters from the original, he added tons of unnecessary garbage to the fan fiction. Starting with the most monstrous one, he changed the Prophecies of Itlina, focusing on the main character instead of Ciri. It's a very long story, more than 100 chapters, and the main character is still a 13-14 child. And of course, the ubiquitous Chinese cooking, humor, and values.
