The story really just jumps into it. It's almost jarring how the MC starts ranting about turning into a pretty girl. It almost makes me suspect the original was a male. Then it goes on about Japanese light novels and makes a lot of references to them. It's like reading a parody and it might put you off at first. The synopsis made it seem a tiny bit more serious but nope. Slap the comedy or parody tag if one ever comes out. Her inside mental voice is funny and exaggerated but her actions in real life are real bland. Like a normal person, like a side character. Anyway the MC decides that studying is too hard and being a **** start is good. Just kidding hehe. There are SO MANY light novel references in the novel. If your not familiar you might miss out on some humor because it's not always obvious. Just kidding they come right out and slap you in the face. Pah! Reference! Pah! Parody! Pah! Light novels! Many parody references right to your face. Her power is she can turn into any female character and play her roll. It has limitations, the more detail and effort the author put into the character the less control she has over her actions. I think the story is very funny. It has a lot of references I understand but I read a lot of junky novels.

I've been reading Shift! It's a parody humor type so you need some base knowledge on Japanese light novels in general and general webnovel knowledge to really get into it and laugh. Lots of humor.

The original is a male, it's mentioned somewhere in the later (70 and above) chapters. I can't really be sure because I binged through it like a monster but it's there.

So far so good. Since some people don't seem to understand the beginning, I'll explain. It is about a girl from our world who transmigrated into Zhao Yaoyue, a rich Megumi Kato, who has the cheat to transmigrate into characters in webnovels, mangas, and other in progress literary works when she goes to sleep. So it's like a double transmigration, but she is able to come back to reality. Also, I wouldn't put any stock into the cover pic, as she looks nothing like that at any point of the novel. She has to create iconic or high profile characters in the dreams in order to be eligible to get the skills related to the character she possesses into the real world. The more "classic" the character, the longer the skills can last for her. On her first try, she made a side character a Mary Sue (of the crappy type), and out of no-where (plot-wise), killed the main character of an existing webnovel. This led the fans of that webnovel author to berate him, and the author apologized, saying he was drunk and erased the character and revise his plot. Not only does Yaoyue receive no power-ups, but she also experience bad luck in real life due to the backlash, and so Yaoyue reflected on her mistakes. She goes on to possess a different side character learning from her mistakes. The logical choice is to take on characters with appropriate skill sets for appropriate story theme with appropriate story actions. She can't just willynilly add random power-ups to the character she takes over and do whatever she wants (well technically she can, but it would be highly unlikely to create a "classical" or "popular" character). And the story goes on. Quite frankly, the idea is fun. Is it original? It's a character self-insert type of novel, and no doubt she will become a Mary Sue in reality once she gains a ton of powers from parodied works. In other words, its a more blatant wish-fulfillment novel. If that's not your taste, so be it. It's really a story that either you would like or dislike. Now with all said, you should throw out any initial bias you may have about this. This is not an otome game simulator, nor will the protagonist quickly become a martial arts expert. She has yet to have a love interest that stays with her, and not every story she delves into will get an ability from the character she took over. In the end, she is her own person, and has the power to choose whether to be either the side-character or main character in real life. I would recommend reading at least the first 100 chapters before making your own conclusion.

Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Thirty years old—that was the age people often referred to as the time to stand tall and firm. At this age, some were splendid and dazzling, intoxicated in a world of wealth, while others were desolate and dim, confined to rope beds and clay stoves. Lin Mo belonged to the latter. At thirty, he was still a porter, toiling away to earn a living. His daughter was bullied by a male classmate at school—simply because his family was well-off, the school chose to turn a blind eye. His wife, already pregnant, was secretly working at a supermarket to supplement the household income without his knowledge. As he lay awake looking at his wife by his side and his daughter sleeping soundly in the little bed, Lin Mo felt so aggrieved he shed tears. Despite working hard every day until his back could no longer straighten, he still couldn't change the dire state of their lives. However, it was at this time that the Daily Intelligence System suddenly awoke. [Daily Intelligence has been updated] [1. Neighbor Wang Youcai secretly used his retirement funds to tip 10,000 yuan to a beauty in a live stream under the nickname Black Chicken.] [2.
