I deleted this from my library after reading 20 chapters of this. I would first like to start off by saying that this novel is plain wish fulfillment. That by itself isn't the problem, although there are many cases of wish fulfillment done right, this novel does it wrong, at the very least in my opinion. First of all, the whole premise of traveling back in time and gaining a super awesome body that is hotter than a model is just mind blowing. While I understand that time travel is a big stretch, but the new divine body that he gains just throws logic out of the window. It doesn't make for a very good story if the MC has everything handed to him. I like OP Xianxia because the MC at the very least has a semblance of working hard to get what they want (most of the time (emperor's domination). This just feels like wish fulfillment on a whole other level. It's to the point of disgust. I would rather the MC reincarnate into his true past (fat) body, but work hard to lose weight and become a handsome and model like MC, rather than having the body of a demigod appear out of thin air. I personally think that this makes the novel seem like they're pulling bs out of thin air. Second of all his personality. The MC is dead as a person. He has no flaws is perfect in everything. Perfect memory when it suits him, dance skill coming out of his ass, just plain bs like rainbows sprung from a unicorns feces. When the MC is so perfect without any effort, that kills my care for that character entirely. Like I previously stated, I want the MC to at least work for the skills and powers he gets, even if I know they will eventually master it (let's be honest). This MC is just dead on the start, no character development, no real setbacks, no real progress. Honestly this just feels like the author decided to self insert himself into a fabrication of reality and start God-modding, aka acting as a god to manipulate the story in order to suit his desires and needs in order to play out a certain fantasy or story. Finally, there feels like no real action or *******. The suspense created sucks. The MC is so infallible that I don't even have to worried at the slightest. The MC's OPness is badly managed. He has no real reason for getting all these skills and OPness, but still has them and wins every situation in his favor no matter what. Good OP characters like Saitama from One Punch Man and arguably Li Qiye from Emperors Domination. One Punch Man is interesting because it gives a very good story and concept, that the MC is so OP that he is bored of being OP. For Emperors Domination, the real hook of the story, in my opinion, is the World Building and Curbstomp Action. The author of ED does a fantastic job of created a fantastical world that has wonders to be explored and secrets to be uncovered and also has some good crubstomping from our favorite OP MC Li Qiye. The MC of this Novel doesn't do that. He lives in the modern world with no real appeal. I don't know if the story gets better after 20 chapters, but from these few chapters, I have given up hope. If you've actually read the entire review good for you, and if you do read past chapter 20, let me know how it goes. Who knows maybe by chapter 150, the story might turn into something else and possibly something better, but my journey ends here. I hope this helped some of you.

dear everyone, thanks so much for your attention on the story. I couldn't agree with some comments more that the story was "childish". Most readers of its Chinese version are girls in middle school. That may explain why the girls in the story are of a rectilinear thinking style. In my opinion, they are flat on the paper, with only one or two features at most. So, if you want to read a story of mature way of thinking or a story with deep thoughts, you will be disappointed. In fact, it's quite a bucket of pop corn for me in leisure time. The author indeed had studied on certain subjects. If you live in China, you will find some interesting points everywhere, especially in the following chapters. Maybe after one month you could return to the story, I promise you will find something interesting by then. But I can't make the spoiler now. haha! And, some words about the way in which MC ****** money. Young foreigners may have no idea that after 1995 till now, China was the heaven of adventurers. Since MC lived in the era for the second time, it's natural for him to choose certain way to earn money (you may find them in the following chapters). He is only an ordinary man of mechanical deparment, who couldn't remember so many songs or famous articles. Even if he could, considering the protection of copyright in China... When I was translating the work, I was so sorry about the oppotunities to make fortune in the story, for I missed them all! THEY ARE THE REALISTIC WAY TO MAKE MONEY IN CHINA AT THAT TIMES! If I was reborn like MC, I'll do in the same way. It will be the ******st and quickest for ordinary person, who never prepared for his/her rebirth. Anyway, thanks so much for your patience. Readers choose stories and stories choose readers. It's a mutural process. If you give the story up, best wishes for you and looking forward to meeting you in another story. :)

Alright, the score is pretty low, but it's reasonable... I think. anyway. Translation quality is OK, but could be better. the phrasing is quite bad to be honest. If the author wrote it like it's translated, then this must be their debut work, because it feels really... I really don't know how to say it, without ****** people interpret what I've said in a wrongly. but, the ******st analogy? emmm.... Childish, but planned. or is very innocent in a way, but at least the story it self seems to have been planned ahead properly. The MC himself, is quite childish also, or even quite innocent. it's like a man was put in the body of a child, and the childishness seeped in, and erased the *****, but left the memories of the future. Also, things seem to go rather well for this MC, but it's strange. I honestly have no interpretation of why I think this series has a strange flow, but I have this weird feeling as I read it. not a bad feeling mind you. World background... Again, I must say, 'honestly', the world isn't as of yet too far thought out, but the actual 'world' around the character seems to be developing, like, housing market, stocks and so on... oh, and computer development. I wish this MC could think of smart things to do with the internet, it really wouldn't be to hard to make a website worth money around that time, it would just take a bit of development, and financial stability. but, as long as he invented YouTube, he'd be fine. I think it isn't banned in China, so it should be fine... And my final conclusion to my thoughts about this story... Read it if you wanna, It's not the best, but it has some interest elements to it. So if your here for lighthearted rebirth or should we say, revert to an alternate time line, 18 years before, where the MC isn't a genius, but get's a better body and memory right off the bat as a consolation prize, but doesn't know how to truly capitalize on his future knowledge, however, does in fact know how to make Some use of the new body. My last thing to say is: The first chapter is BS, it almost makes no sense except TRYING to explain to you, the MC was all of a sudden, reborn for no apparent reason. Apparently a different, and even better body/memory. However, it doesn't really explain, If he was suddenly reborn, or if he was reborn for quite some time, and this is likely the translator/editors fault for confusing me. and I must point out, that the Author really wanted to get the character out of high-school, but still give the character SOME very minor Introduction and slightly developing the world background. and to finish off what I'm saying... the Story is very fkn high paced, has a very small character development phase, but as I said at the start, I'm pretty sure this is the authors debut piece, or best work at the time of release... if not, then I truly feel sorry for this author, being able to write, but is inadequate in their understanding of the human psyche, emotions, rational and thus creating an inferior product, that is unworthy of their actually writing talents."

Kingdom of the Pearl of the Orient

In the waning years of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines, a young boy named Alfonso XIII was proclaimed King of Spain in 1886. However, being just a child, his mother, Queen Maria Christina, ruled as regent in his place. Queen Maria Christina adopted a somewhat lenient policy, granting the Filipinos a degree of freedom while still keeping them as subjects of the Spanish monarchy. As time passed, the Philippines remained under Spanish rule until it was finally passed on to Alfonso, Prince of Asturias, in 1920. But Alfonso, wise beyond his years, saw the plight of the Filipino people and understood their deep desire for independence in their hearts. He made a momentous decision – renouncing his claim to the Spanish throne and requesting to govern the Philippines instead. Surprisingly, the Spanish monarch agreed to this arrangement, and Alfonso was given the unique responsibility of managing the Philippines as a separate entity. But unknown to everyone, the original Alfonso, Prince of Asturias, died due to drowning accident and was replaced by Miguel Reyes. In a world reminiscent of the early twentieth century but with a twist, Miguel Reyes, a brilliant scientist,engineer, military enthusiast, and businessman from the Philippines, found himself in a strange predicament. After a fatal car accident in 2023, Miguel was granted an extraordinary second chance at life. He awakened to find his soul inexplicably reincarnated into the body of a prince in a distant land. Confused and disoriented at first, Miguel soon discovered that he was inhabiting none other than the young Alfonso, Prince of Asturias, decades before his untimely death. Realizing the significance of this opportunity, Miguel knew he had to act wisely. He had lived a life devoted to knowledge and progress, and now he found himself in a pivotal position to change history for the better. Armed with the knowledge of Alfonso's fate and aware of the impending struggles faced by the Philippines, Miguel resolved to take a different path. Join Alfonso (Miguel Reyes) on a life-changing experience. Will Miguel Reyes find tranquility in his second life as he governs the nation and steers it towards greatness? Or will he face the shadow of a conspiracy lurking within the borders?
