the shallows

A normal University student accidentally shallows the dragon core of the princess of east ocean dragon and had no choice but to marry her with the condition that the guy Hao Ran must cultivate so he can save the princess.

Its a great story, i personally like where the author explains how MC knowledge, and also not making omnipotent, the MC has his own shallows but that makes the story more interesting as it shows the struggles he faces.

You have graced me with the presence of the Almighty CAKE🍰! I am still in the shallows of your story but, because of your magnificent and elegant mention of my beloved CAKE, I give you my rarely given review. May you grace me again with another CAKE! THANK YOU FOR WRITING ABOUT MY PRECIOUS! 👏🍰🙍

I can't find what is so interesting with this story where all the ML are shallows and have no personality and not build in depth. Prolong and dragging the time for the father to find his son. Immoral act of the FL as she knows his ex engahed bit allow him yo touch her. It is just simply disgusting.

The beginning gets min/max nerdy wordy. No doubt. But, if you can suffer through that and the author's mostly-but-not-really-comprehensive-pages-of-wiki scattered throughout the chapters plus some good ole intuition to fill in based on context, you'll find yourself in the middle of an epic with multiple main characters, a brewing apocalypse with all the divine onlookers plotting behind the scenes, and ultimately, a tale of someone who should be tremendously disadvantaged spitting on the notion and turning it in her favor. Writing: 4 stars. Would've been 5 but the author's shorthand during "oh, you don't understand this system I've invented by cobbling together n+1 other systems?" data dumps wears quickly. Stability of Updates: 5 stars Story Development: 4 stars. Some arcs are that movie you're sitting in going "shouldn't it have ended already?". Mixed with some well-meaning conflict fatigue, -1 star. Character Design: 3 stars. As epic heroes, the characters are fleshed just fine, and there's even a plot device to explain some of the shallows, but overall, the characters really don't show much depth beyond being very good at murderhoboing. Like I said, the first major arc has its reasons. If the latest arc doesn't address that some, then this will stay at 3 stars. World Background: 4 Stars. The world itself is glossed over, but the system it runs on is mainly explained, even if we don't all grasp the explanations. -2 for how shallow the understanding of the world is, +1 for the fact that the system is a hodgepodge so there SHOULD be far more explanation of it rather than the world. If you hit chapters 250+ you'll understand more as to why this was a difficult category to accurately judge. Regardless of my attempts to be objective, there's always subjectivity because even my views on objectivity are subjective to my own understanding of it. Overall, remember that 3 represents AVERAGE, not fire fuel. Give it a read, convince yourself to hit over 30 chapters and while you might not stomach an all-in-one-go, you'll certainly find something worth coming back to.
