Review Detail of Kergonan in Let Me Game in Peace

True, the title of this novel is not the most engaging one, but its good place in the ranking of both Novelupdates and Webnovel, as well as the first chapter of the manhua adaptation made me give it a go. So, was I well inspired ? The protagonist, Zhou Wen, appears at first as a gaming obsessed loner, he really is an intelligent, pragmatic and focused character. In fact, his ability to absolutely focused on a task or event is his main advantage. He also has a low emotional quotient, which leads to many comedic situations, especially in his relations with women (there is no romance, but most attempts on him are really funny). He also is something of an anti-hero at time, as shown with his mercilessness toward his foes. Overall, a very good main character. But he is not the only one, as most other characters are as well made as him. Whether they are allies (like Li Xuan), his foes, his mentor or others, they have their own traits, merits, flaws and goals. Those are important as part of the plot for the relations between some of these people with the MC can be fluid, depending if their aims (both over and/or hidden align with those of the protagonist). Speaking of the plot, this and the setting are the best points of the novel. What seems at first to be a story of academy life in a world of mixed martial arts cultivation and pokemon training is in fact a tale of conspiracies, power -play, rife with both epic fights and rich intrigue (even the epilogue has its surprises). Add to this the facts that there are few scenes of pure power suppression (most foes have weaknesses the MC can cleverly exploit) and that the special gaming phone Zhou Wen uses for power-up is both powerful but also has severe limitations, and you have an excellent story that will keep you on edge until the slightly rushed but fine and open ending (if you want a comparison, it’s not Lord of the Mysteries, it’s the level right below). The power system, while simplistic at first, is quite good, moreover the protagonist progression is not exactly the normal one. The translation is excellent, no mistake, typos of mistranslations I can remember of, as usual for CKTalon My final verdict for Let Me Game in Peace is a 9 out of 10. It’s one of the best novel available on Webnovel, I can only recommend it. P.S: Thanks to Twelve-Winged Dark Seraphim for writing this story and to CKTalon for translating it.
