Sooo i tead a good bit of the translations. I just have to stop. The author introduces the main character as some guy who is barred from his dream(to be a pilot of a mecha) due to the Entire World decoding your genes ned to be perfect for you to not kill yourself piloting these death machines. Then it spends some time making fun of the main character due to him being *****, and its explanations for that are reasonable. He was raised by the most brilliant Autistic scientist in the Galaxy and the scientist planned out his education to try to force hom on the path of completing the scientists dreams. So he isn’t street smart, but is like 6years ahead of his class, and mayby a year or two past hos professors in scientific knowledge. Having established the above, the author introduces the virtual world amd school life(college) for the main character. All of the Virtual World gets a one star. It exists for the sole purpose of the main character to blow himself. New characters in the virtual world may choose from several mecha to use. The animal mecha all specialize in something, and have ARMOR. The human mecha has no specialties, and no ARMOR but can choose one weapon upon entering each fight(a knife or rifle) The main character naturaly chooses the human mech, and the world derides him for choosing something that doesnt have ARMOR. Note i am capitalizing this word because The Main Character One Shots EVERYTHING!! ARMOR is the authors ****ty excuse for why no one else is allowed to one shot stuff, but the main character ineshots armored stuff all the time. There is no ******* because all weapons apparently one shot mecha and the entire world is so stupid they choose the mecha that are alowed down by useless ARMOR instead of learning how to dodge. The school life is a terribly writtenharem. Like a professor saying “mayby i should rape you to tie you down to my research project” bad. So theres the story. I am dropping this because i don’t see any character growth happening really(the main character always makes perfect decisions so he has no where to grow) and the combat sucks as it is nothing but and he amazingly perfectly dodges the unblockabe super skill then stabs them with a knife. Victory to the authors BS. Enjoy your read, don’t start regretting the time you spend on this later.

LIKEHave you ever read „It‘s nit easy to be a man after travelling to the future“? From the way you write this reply you are quite critical with your view. Above mentioned novel is one of my favorites and i thinks it’s great but i often lack on giving an overall judgement, i am just enjoying myself while reading it and not thinking too deeply into it so i am quite curious what someone like you would write in a review about it
I am currently reading it, just not on this site. It is not easy to be a man after traveling to the future is a decent sci-fi story. Its main character, while being OP, is still flawed and readers still get to experience their growth. The important side characters are fleshed out and have their own goals and desires. They work for the Main Character because they believe it will help them with their own goals. The less important side characters aren’t as fleshed out, but they still demonstrate some type of desire beyond “the main character is awesome so i should work for them”. Story progression for the book goes from the MC reincarnating, through young child hood, into joining the military due to family responsibilities(they will lose alot of rights if someone important in the family isn’t in the military) through several years of military academies, and as of where i last read, into joining the military and taking on missions(kind of like how the US military responds to hurricanes and provides disaster relief). The world is fairly fleshed out. Welcome to Gundam, galaxy edition. There are several superpower countries that control between 50 and 100 human survivable solar systems. The Main character lives in one of the larger, but not the absolute number one, countries. Each country has their own base mecha, advanced mecha, special type, ace mech(think a gun-dam), and super mecha(think a super gun-dam with planet killer laser guns). Additionally, there is a Galaxy spanning virtual reality mecha game that all military play, and the borders in the game are set by how strong your countries hackers are. Top hackers can permakill players in game, but their potential as mecha pilots is limited due to this. The world continued. There is limited body cultivation in the world. Kids in the Main characters country go to school and part of school is attempting to put enough pressure on the child they unlock their potential. Unlocking potential comes with a minor superpower, and basic body strengthening. (By minor i mean i could look at your shadow and know how tall you are to the inch). Negatives There are a few negatives to the story. The biggest is females (the MC is female) In the introduction to the world, the MC goes to school dressed as a boy and we lear females CAN’T train to become mecha pilots. As in the hardware and software for piloting just don’t work for women. Now at this time our MC is already abnormal even for her world so we as readers can accept her being an exception. Then we get to the joining the military arc, and suddenly there are women mecha pilots, women just can’t become an ace pilot due to not enough physical strength. This is a plot hole, as to become a pilot you need super gene serum and the military WILL NOT give you any if you are female. That was 100% of the reason the MC was forced to start cross dressing. It IS the plot. Other negatives. The main character isn’t OP enough. Since they are female in a chinese book they get an OP super pet that makes them immune to the can potentially die during military video games part. As a chinese female MC they also get several super grandpa trainers. Overall I enjoy the book, it is one of very few that are good mecha series and the MC is a believable OP character. I just don’t read it on quidian anymore.

Mm, i agree with you and thought mostly the same. Thanks a lot for pointing all of this out.
