While I can't deny that there are some of the usual cliches for the modern cultivation genre, this story has enough twists on them that it manages to differentiate itself. Unlike a lot of the genre, this MC doesn't have a system, and doesn't need to cultivate after being reborn. He's strong from the start with just some one paragraph throwbacks to what allowed him to develop whatever skill he's using to get through a situation. He seems a bit arrogant, but in general it only comes across that way due to his blunt language. He's a country boy who has overinflated goals, but doesn't see why that's a problem since it just makes sense to him when he has the ability to achieve them. He sees it more as he's not the weird one, the city folk are the ones who don't get it. Granted the whole "city folk are just weird/crazy/complicated/arrogant" shtick will probably get old, but it wasn't quite overbearing, at least for the duration of the trial read. And the story is funny enough so far to have gotten a few chuckles, and at least two seriously laugh out loud moment. The main issue I could see from the trial read is that the early chapters are pretty loose and lighthearted with all the bumpkin-ness, but toward the end it starts getting a little... dark. Oddly enough the real laughs were in the later chapters as well, but as you learn about the MC, you realize he's still definitely a bumpkin, but he's not all fun and games, just mostly.

I read to chapter five, and I can already tell that it's just a generic wish-fulfillment story. So far, we have gotten introduced to the main character, a random country bumpkin. He sees a cute girl on the train, and she ends up talking to him because she is nice. He then states that he will make lots of money, get multiple wives, and go to university because his village chief said to do so. He acts extremely arrogant about this, naturally frustrating the girl. Then he reads her palm and sees that they are "compatible" then he demands that she be his first wife. The girl didn't like this, and neither did two men near her. But what's this?! the men are dying? Good thing that the MC has the ability to cure anything using traditional Chinese medicine, which is lost to time, for no explained reason. He then tells them the only way he will treat them is if his "First Wife" tells him to. She reluctantly does so, then after he treats them in some ridiculous ways, the girl all of a sudden is in love with him, feeling jealous that he hadn't gotten her number yet. As I said, I can already tell this is generic wish fulfillment, so if you enjoy that you might like this.

Not my type of story but imma give 5 stars nonetheless because all novels need a chance to get selected and 99% of the time Bad novels get selected but can a novel be truly bad? As the saying goes “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”

People are going to say my taste for webnovel are bad... But idc I enjoy these type of novels but not just these. Maybe there are repetitive lines or plots or cliques but they are satisfying and anyone can enjoy just passing some time reading this.

Ehhhh... The synopsis already makes me wanna not read this. Why? Because he said 'First' wife, meaning, that there will probably be a second, a third, and maybe even more. At this point, I have just read too many harem novels, to the point where I'd even avoid reading a novel just because it has harem in it. But there are some harem novels I generally don't have any problems with. But that's because the plot doesn't revolve around the mc's harem where the mc will have to go save them every time they get into trouble nor will the mc just forget about them and only remember them when they need to get saved. Instead, the harem added in by the author is just something to keep the readers interested in the story and doesn't depend on the mc 99% of the time. And from the mc's goals stated in the synopsis, it does seem like one of those novels with beautiful CEO's, a policewoman, a super famous movie star, and maybe even a underaged teenage girl(a loli). But I guess I'll end it here and actually read the story first.

Investment Empire Building / Confident MC / MC is not the only smart character DISCLAIMER: The similarity in names of characters in this novel to those of real world individuals is purely a coincidence This story is set in the same universe as my first novel, "Evolution of Genius: every night, I get smarter!", however, reading this novel doesn't require you to have any knowledge about the other.

Rise To Stardom

Orphaned in the old world after taking care of his irresponsible and sick mother for years on end, Kyle finds his life turned upside down. His already dim world turns even gloomier and coupled with his trauma from losing her, Kyle felt like he had lost his purpose in life. Living day by day, akin to a soulless puppet, he struggled to keep his suicidal thoughts in check, all whilst trying to make ends meet as a cabbie. During those dark times, Kyle slowly begins to find solace in the world of music and movies. Even though it had always been there, it truly became something as a bloodline of sorts for him because, individually, both pieces of media, transported him to another world, one where he could feel happy, if even for a fleeting moment. And, as if the universe wanted even more for him, Kyle met some lovely old people, all of whom treated him as the son they never had, making him feel like he had a family after so long. This eventually, helped him let go of his trauma and turned him into the lovely soul he was always meant to be. But as fate would have it, these same people, wanted for Kyle to pursue his dreams because they saw the potential for greatness in him and the wonderous things he could go on to do, even if Kyle himself was oblivious to it. So, in an effort to make his dreams come true, they ended up gifting him a brand new chance, one that Kyle himself would only go on to realize after his untimely death in a fatal car accident. Now awake in the new world, still orphaned but with a brighter perspective on life, Kyle, armed with a System, another gift from his loved ones in the previous world, decides to take the chance to pursue his dreams of being a star, one that he was unable to pursue in his previous life due to his lack of talent. This is the story of a man who will go on to become the most versatile and renowned superstar all over the world... and it starts, just as he takes his first step into the cutthroat world of fame and fortune by registering for the popular singing reality TV competition, 'Rising Voices'. Known to be a fiercely competitive TV show, Kyle will meet with top contestants from around the world, go up against them, level up and become better, and ultimately, battle with them for the number one spot in the show as a dark horse! --- |AUTHOR NOTE| Just wanted to make it clear, that the singing competition which will be the first arc of the novel, will end around the late twenty-ish or early thirty-ish chapters. After that, you can expect so much more from the story so look forward to it! Also, although the setting is in a parallel world, all the songs, scripts and movies (although I will draw inspiration here and there), will be originals penned by yours truly (-‿◦).

Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Lin Chuan, a struggling writer, finally got his golden finger—the Career Life Experience System. Randomly experiencing a profession, after the experience is over, novels will be generated based on Lin Chuan's experiences. But Lin Chuan found that the professions he experienced were all too sketchy! Swindler, Assassin, Hacker, Touch Gold Captain... Corresponding novels were born: “Swindler,” “Hacker Kingdom,” “Touch Gold Notes,” and others came into existence. Before he knew it, his works became popular. Selected reader comments: “This book describes things too realistically, this is definitely an autobiography!” “With you confessing and me confessing, Mr. Lin will end up in prison sooner or later.” “Author Lin Chuan (×), Suspect Mr. Lin (√)” Unexpectedly, the reader's prophecy has come true! The police showed up, “We suspect you're involved in serious illegal and criminal activities!” Lin Chuan, “Huh?” The police, “The crimes in your novels, they're your actual deeds, right?” Lin Chuan's vision went dark. Done for, I've written myself into the station, but I'm really not a criminal suspect!!!!!!

My Pick Up Artist System

"With this system, I'll become the world's greatest seducer! If it doesn't kill me first..." I was a nobody, a short fatty Otaku.
