Really horrible first impressions here, protagonist is a chinese guy who somehow through some strange magic manages to kill himself with a power outlet, I don't know how he'd do that in this day and age but fine. His name is now Garen and his dad's name is Lombart or some ****, the setting is industrial era europe~esque, or so the story says. Eauropean as in his sister whose name is Ying Er, who goes with him to Shengying Academy in Huaishan City. Person who sits next to him is called Ai Fei, yet strangely his only friend in the world is called Kalidor. Which beats Ai Fei but still sounds more like Warcraft than Europe to me. Just missing an M. Also, there's a bunch of nobles and peasants, cus you know nobles were so important in the 1800s right? (The era where middle class citizens did better than nobles, yet somehow this middle class protagonist is playing second fiddle to a bunch of noble brats...) Let's not forget about the training 'dojos' because everybody loved training with swords when revolvers became a thing right? Not like any idiot knows that firearms are the future at that point right? or that dojos specifically were never a thing in europe... Let's not forget about purple hair, cus people dyed their hair so much in the 1800s (hair dyes weren't really much of a thing till the 1950s), oh and let's not forget about mr. luo ya, whoever that is, but wait there's also a sharmilla. I think maybe that last name could pass for middle eastern, what do you think? Sound european enough yet? Yeah I didn't think so, this author has no idea wtf he's writing. Power outlet? nobody dies to power outlets outside of fucking movies, besides the fact that there's always a source for grounding somewhere around in modern houses (yes even in china) touching an outlet will only shock you and lock you in place for a couple seconds, you'd have to be touching that outlet for like 10 minutes at least for it to do any damage to you on it's own... Only way it could kill you so fast is if ti gives you a heart attack, but typically it won't do that so easily. The premise of the story is greatly flawed and the author doesn't know if he wants to use european names, chinese names or western fantasy names so he just uses a weird mix of all of them to make sure that nobody can remember wtf kind of setting this is in the first place... Idk how I'm supposed to read this. I'm only 3 chapters in man!

Easy enough ,,Idk how I'm supposed to read this´´ dont like it - dont . The thing with novels is , they dont have to be realistic , that would be real ,,fun´´ wouldnt it . You seem to be critizing the author for writing a fantasy [img=faceslap] why are you reading one then ?
but for fantasy the is a lot of simping
