Seized by the System is a story about Fang Ning who has been possessed by a system after commenting on a website about a meteor. This novel has a interesting idea, but thats about it. While the idea is interesting, I don't see how you can make it work in a novel. Everything feels rather pointless. First off, the translation quality is decent. There isn't any obvious mistakes either, and compared to most translation novels this is already pretty good. Writing quality in general is average thought. (4/5 stars) Story development. This a comedy novel, meaning the story is rather lackluster. The only point of focus in this novel is the comedy, everything else is completely disregarded. The pacing is rather awful, there are random time skips really early on. The system fights for justice "just because". The power scaling is rather bad as well, I mean, they literally don't tell you anything. This is a "cultivation" novel, and we don't even know the main character's strength. Aside from that, the story is completely lackluster. It's extremely dull. (1/5 stars) The character design is disregarded as well. We have the main character, a procrastinator. This doesn't change. We also have a stupid system, this doesn't change. There are also plenty of women who are thirsting for the main character, but this doesn't matter as theres no romance. All other side characters are rather stupid as well, and this seems to be a running theme in Chinese comedy. (1/5 stars) World background is somewhat interesting. It's rather vague, but that might because I haven't read terribly far into the story. It's a world where various people have awakened super powers, and this ranges widely from super speed to cultivation masters. (3/5 stars) Overall, the story's premise was rather limited from the start, and as usual with most Chinese comedies, story development and character design are forgotten. I give this novel 2.8 stars out of 5.
