Trial Read Review (only from synopsis): (X:ICATDOHP) - So the protagonist gets reincarnated with the power to change the dates (how old or young they are) of herbs. He is a herb disciple (good for him) and since plants are more powerful when older, he modifies the plants and consumes them making him stronger. Not going to lie, this plot seems mediocre and bland. Maybe I will check it out. (YTIBIWBMS) - This is one of those talent stealing novels. That is literally all the synopsis covers and it doesn't really talk much about the plot. There have already been many novels similar to this one and I will only check it out if I am bored. (ITRWISG) - Basically, the protagonist is in a modern world where he can see stats and stuff like a game while no one else can’t. This plot has been overused so much and usually comes with an extra plate of face slapping. The sad thing is that I’m already full. (MR) - Out of all of the other trial novels this time, this seems like the one with the most plot and potential. Honestly, I can’t really understand what the plot is because the synopsis is short but it hooks you into the story (somewhat). I will check it out. (P9Y:AAMFFY) - Protagonist transmigrates into the modern world and gets a funeral system. He also has a funeral company (you can see where this is going). Basically, he can make amazing things happen at your funeral, but that’s all. Unique plot but honestly kind of lackluster. Maybe I will read it. (LOTP:IRAMSFTS) - Guy can get land and stuff and summon succubi and this plot is overused and seems generic blah blah blah (hey, it’s like 2:00 for me over here, don’t blame me for being sloppy). Anyway, bad. Wouldn’t recommend it.

Why did this get picked???? 😭😭😭 bro there were like 3 ACTUALLY DECENT NOVELS AND OFC THE MUTANT SUCCUBUS ONE GETS PICKED??? Ill take this as a reminder to never have hopes for anything in trial read :((

story is not bad. just know the translation quality drops hard in this later on. getting close to MTL quality. examples calls the Male MC her or she multiple times a chapter. call other characters her or he multiple times (incorrect gender) suddenly changes the nickname of characters. suddenly gives characters a nickname as if they always had one incorrect capitilaztion and punctuation.

TL quality drops too low to be worth reading. Otherwise this is a pretty average novel. Probably about 4 stars if the story stays as it is and there isn't too much nationalism under the poetry.

Sadly this lack lustre story is a rehash of other weak to strong MCs. After a number of chapters I just threw the towel in as you already know the ending which defeats any reading pleasure that could be obtained in this novel. Having Succubus’s as his creature you could imagine various innuendos occurring and it is hinted, but we know it ain’t happening here. Which is pretty much the stereotypical young Chinese male who devotes himself to strength and not relationships, which is a bit more realistic. Anyhow, don’t waste your time with this.

Lemme preface this review by saying: the translation quality for chapters after around 100 is as bad as it gets. The translators stopped caring, obviously, and just slightly edit the MTL. Don't waste currency on this. Outside of the absolutely horrendous quality later, it's pretty cookie cutter for this genre. Not a bad time waster. TLers should be ashamed though, and smacked with dictionaries so they can learn the importance of: 1 not screwing up genders constantly, and 2, learn the importance of not changing a character's name 18 times in one chapter.

I came into this book with some decent high hopes. And it started off pretty strong but the further I went in the more the quality dropped. I'm not sure who is translating this but there is so many mistranslations that it makes me wonder if they are doing it on purpose. Not only that but the story has so many inconsistencies that it is hard to track what is truly going on.

Look, this novel is trash, worse it even plagiarized plot points from another trash novel*. To make things worse, the translation quality, while fine in the beginning, reaches unedited MTL level of quality later on. *I'm talking about that 99 dragon one. This one has a bit more world building in the beginning, but also has multiple plot points which are exactly the same. (Woman who sells stuff for cheap to gain influence for an alliance; Goblins, which after being discovered attack once at night, only for our MC to go out the next day to wipe them out and sell their armor; a little sister/little brother character who trades with our MC and crafts stuff for them.)
