First something like a disclaimer. The "World Background" is far less than the given 5/5 but the book does not need it. At least at my current chapter it does well. It is one of the very few "different" web novels out there and I like it very much. You could say it is a simple story about a simple man. Or you could say it is a story which is fun to read. Both would be true. Good book (so far)!

An actually decent novel. Although the MC is your run of the mill slightly unhinged Chinese protagonist, I think it works well and complements the plot so far. He's not offensively bad, I don't cringe at him or his decisions but instead find myself in agreement with his decisions most of the time, as of right now his gimmick is something like "in spite of his unconventional rationality, his decisions do end up paying off to varying extents" or something along those lines. For example, he had no reason to fight the sea beasts other than entertainment but that ended up working in his favour as "training". It's a teeny bit forced right now but I don't really mind, stuff like this could end up being an entertaining gimmick if executed properly, it'd much rather have his slightly unconventional thought process stay than him just completely turning bland. We've got some standard system tropes, I'm not sure if he can lose his fishing rod or not but even if he could, I doubt it'd happen for real, this is (in spite of the usual dark Chinese undertones) a relatively laid back novel after all. The whole premise while not very original isn't completely uninspired, it's quite alright and makes for some satisfying progression. This coupled with the protagonist's inconsistently eccentric personality could make for some entertaining shenanigans in the future but we'll have to wait and see. At the end of the day this is just a respectable novel with a relatively original premise, world and cheat. As long as the protagonist doesn't get bland or the plot repetitive, this'd be my cup of tea. I hope this gets picked. 3.5/5
