I rarely post a negative review, but I was really disappointed with this novel. At first, I was very impressed by the MC and his story. I loved the idea that the friends of the MC were more powerful than him in the past and how they are sticking with their friend in the present. However, the author just kept ignoring some logical facts and forcing other *not so* logical philosophical explanations. The following are just 2 points I hated a lot: (1) for God's sake, when u use a chip to enslave a person, the victim will, almost, always be unwilling and vindictive towards the one who did it (this is more so in the case of criminals who are usually selfish) => the victim should rarely feel loyal to ur cause or happy to perform to the best of its ability => a normal enslaved human will always prioritize his freedom and try to sabotage and cause the death of his master in insidious ways; (2) I was not able to stomach the fact that teens are *directly* fighting a protracted guerilla war with veterans => if it was an assassination mission or some small scale battle where the army was tricked, the story would have been still enjoyable (but u rushed the side characters' growth a lot) => in a period less than a month, kids became colonels in an army just like that (and naturally like any good colonel they started killing innocents by the 1000s to spice things up)

I dont know if you forgot or misread the chips induce happy feelings that override their feelings of betrayal so yeah also the kids fighting veterans are basically superhumans

If you actually read the entire description about the chip you would also know that there is also one in the brain that can be triggered whenever obeying orders. I don't know if it releases endorphins but it does make the controlled happier. It's a psychological trick that eventually will wear someone down. It's like with pain when you touch a fire it hurts, you keep touching it still hurts. Your brain has now registered fire=pain so now you won't touch fire anymore. Same concept

As the author... I kind of have to give this a 5 right? Call it biased rating, call it an attempt to increase my own rating. But of course... We all have to believe in our own works. For if we don't take pride in what we do... Why bother doing it?

This story has great pacing and writing. Sure, the first 2 chapters were confusing as heck, but everything gets cleared out fast. Not only is the main character great but also the side characters have flavor to them. The world built is rational and diverse which makes it easily accepted and can be immersed in. Emotional scenes were written smartly and not too drawn out. This made it easier to sympathize with the feeling the author probably wanted to convey while not being burnt out at the same time. All in all, a great read. TLDR : Smart writing, Believable characters. 5/5 stars.

Dude I am in love with the world you have created and how complex everything is intertwined. I started this to kill time waiting in a doctors office and was hooked by the time I left. Keep up the amazing work. I'll be eagerly waiting for the next chapter!

The heroes will behave unnaturally. Within a few days, they change from young teens to war veterans with highly unnatural moral principles. The whole plot is strongly forced by the author, for some reason a single man is able to intimidate people to follow him and after a few chapters they are loyal as if they served together all their lives. I no longer mention the complete nonsense of the world technology and justifying the success of the plot armore hero.

I am a big fan of Second Chance/ Reincarnation genre. I am also a big fan of Modern Day/ Futuristic genre. This is one such story which is a perfect blend of both these genres that is written beautifully. Add antagonists who are clever enough to show extreme subtlety in making their plans work. Simply beautiful! Mind games and philosophical content are and will be expected and whatever is written so far is also beautifully executed and well planned. The MC is strong and has a good mind, but the author ensures that he is not too overpowered and that is another thing which makes this novel even more worth reading. One of the beat works I have read in this site and dear author - You have gained a loyal fan today! :)

I tried. I really did try to read through this. A sci-fi reincarnation story? I really wanted one to add to my library, but this is bad. 1. For the first 3 chapters, there is no explanation. Just full-on action, where you don't know what is going on. Some of the names and terms are used interchangeably, so you can't even keep a consistent track of what you could understand. 2. The story definitely needs an editor. 3. When you finally reach chapter 4, and you figure you'll get something slow paced, it suddenly feels as if the character is overpowered. There is no brakes to it. 4. In almost every sentence of chapter 4, the author uses the character names over and over. Like in a first POV, someone used "I" all the time. It's like the word "he" was limited to 5 a chapter. 5. Overall, it's quite easy to tell the author is a bad writer. There are a lot of mistakes. And I would give him/her the benefit of the doubt if it weren't that they were also a bad storyteller from as far as I could tell at 3.5 chapters in.

Ashes Of Deep Sea

Duncan Abnomar was transmigrated to a magical world. Most of the lands of the world had sunken, and the surviving humans could only live on islands. Due to an unknown reason, the world was also contaminated and strange phenomena and things would randomly appear. Humans had developed steam gear technology, and the islands were connected through boats. They survived by studying strange phenomena that happened all around the world. However, as the captain of a scary-looking ghost ship, Duncan was facing a huge challenge. "How the heck do I steer this ship?" Highly recommended by experienced editor: MC is transmigrated to a world mostly covered in water and far from civilization. He becomes the captain of the ghost ship, the 'Homeloss'. He steers through the fog and adventures through the broken world and the unknown deep sea. As he discovers the ruins of abandoned civilization, he would also stumble into the war between the strange phenomena and the devil gods. The story takes place in a combination of ocean and Chutly mythology world, a new and interesting background. It’s an attractive story to read due to the author’s sense of humor and mastery over the ambiance of the story. --------------- Another-style introduction: "On that day, a thick fog engulfed everything. On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship. On that day, he crossed the dense fog and faced a completely overturned and shattered world – the former order was completely gone, and peculiar phenomena dominated the endless seas beyond civilized society. The island city-states and the fleets challenging the sea have become the only lights of civilization left, while the shadows of old days still lurk in the deep sea, waiting to devour this dying world again. But for the new captain, there's only one pressing question – Does anyone know how to sail this damn ship?!"

Tempest of the Stellar War

He received a genetic score of 28... completely disqualifying him from applying to military college! He helped deliver a friend's love letter... and fell into a lake becoming infamous for dying for love! His very first gift... warped him into a brutal training simulation! However he perserved through all these trials! Our Dear Student Wang Zheng has finally started his lucky(?) university life! This is the song of a blood boiling and exciting storm! The most ferocious and heated mecha adventure around is finally here! TL Note: This is a novel about doing the impossible, seeing the invisible. Follow along for a ride across the universe! TL;DR: Not Shakespeare, not complex, but fun and easy to read. Come support! As the translator, I've enjoyed translating this novel and I hope to bring the essence of what the author has tried to portray into the chapters you will read. To sum it up in 3 words: Mechs! Explosions! Science! To be perfectly honest, this novel is about your typically overpowered protagonist who does get looked down from time to time but always overcomes the odds with his own special power. He's abit more mature having grown up on his own and just a littttttttle bit dense. Although it always ends up with him winning, it always happens in an interesting (subjective) and fun way that makes me enjoy reading this. The novel has elements of lighthearted comedy from time to time and I do chuckle at how direct the humor is. It's not as smart as say WMW nor does it weave an intricate story much like Ergen's novels. More importantly, its fun and it doesn't try to hide it.
