Haven't read the novel yet, but I just want to say... FINALLY. A NON-WESTERNIZED NAME. Thank God. Really guys, a random Chinese name is much better than Bick, or Eddie Edward, or Sidel, or Samuel in Chinese novels! Support this!

LIKEOkay, the actual review here. For me, this is one of the best novel from this batch's Trial Read. It's relaxing and lighthearted, so no battle and not much romance here. MC is an excellent graduated university student and had been working in a company for one or two (?) years. But someday, he gets tired of living that kind of life (corporate slave *cough*) and decided to go back to his hometown. His hometown is situated in a seaside, so people there are mostly fishermen. He goes back to his house and finds a mysterious object (the heart of the ocean) that gives him the ability to swim better, promote his constitution and senses, and know a LOT about marine creatures. He uses this ability to catch rare fish, lobsters, and many other seafood. He heals and gains two animal companions. He also reconnects with his childhood friends and people from the village. For now (25 chaps), his goal is to use his ability to develop this village and its people. World's similar to ours, with some hint of supernatural (the object and the mysterious disappearance of villagers). The characters are average, with a usual childhood friend sidekick and rich business woman as a buyer of his fish. MC is not dumb and still quite rational. Overall, this is quite a pleasant read.
