This book is about a undergrad student who receives a system which enables him to garner and use knowledge to a high degree. If you think this is a other trash novel where the MC gets confronted at every turn by rich arrogant snobs or picks up girls at every turn while being more than a martial artist than a scholar, then you're sorely mistake. In this novel, the MC is student through and through - due to being absolutely poor, he has to work which drives him to use this student to study, lowering his expenses on school fees and in Hope's to monetize the knowledge that the system gives him. But the reason that I really like this novel is due to the somewhat realistic insight into the scientific community and how the problems portrayed in this novel are actually real life problems - you actually might learn something when you're reading this novel. Overall the story is pretty well written, with an overall good pacing, for a Chinese novel. Yes, there are some filler, but this is mainly due to fleshing out details regarding the world around him and his circumstances. Characters are pretty 2d - you have no idea what they look like, no quirky personality traits that differentiate them - just a name. This is pretty common in many Chinese novels - luckily major traits like glasses, or ponytail are mentioned once in a while, but it's pretty forgettable. So far, not much is mentioned regarding the world, just that's its today modern world. I'd like some more info about the place he lives and what the campus looks like and so on. I highly recommend this novel to any reader who would like a break from the standard "modern day martial artist that goes around establishing billion dollar companies in a week, while beating young masters senseless and picking up their dates." This is good alternative to those who would like some scientific substance (so far mainly in math), and a unique look into how thesis writing works and what a graduate student life is like.

LIKEThank you for the review. To be honest I was a bit hesitant in regards to starting this novel. As you've mentioned I was really afraid of it being like other cliche novels where they have a system and having to confront some rich second generations or building an harem. Your review was very helpful. 😄
