Finally finished it's a great novel!

I can say the first impression i had is this novel has some unique features.
Oveall it's good but i drooped it around 525.
The beginning was interesting and attractive.
He was porterating the misry of a teenager in a hilarious way.
The arc of exam/wild wolves was the best one i read.
It lay a solid foundation for the story as a whole. The character, the plot, the personality of the main character ..
It was so good and the reason i dropped it is related to this, because the author destroyed most of this foundation when i dropped in a stupid and forced way.
In my opinion he did it out of frustration and incompetence to write another arc that good and it kept haunting him so the catastrophe happened and he crippled the whole story.

I really liked the concept at the start.
But then looks like author had way too many opinions that he just had to insert into story.
Totally ruined it.
Way too much:-
Chinese no 1
Sexism
Misogynism
Hypocrisy
Dumbf#ckery
I know these things are expected of a Chinese novel(especially the low iq) but the amount of shit here is staggering.
And combine this with a piece of shit Mc and you get this dumpster fire.

The concept of the story is pretty cool.
Since the sex scenes is not explicit i don't really care about it, i just skim it and move on.
When i read the story few years ago there wasn't anything that bothered me that much about it except one hiccup in the Spoiler.

La unica palabra megda

is it interesting?>

Utter rubbish. Could have been a good time passer but the author completely ruins the plot with the overtly sexualised and perverted jokes. Its disgusting.

Generally many of the chinese web novels regardless of how shitty the plot is, would have at least decent world building. This novel is one of the first that i have read with really bad world building. There is a lot of "chinese" god complex which is interwoven into the world building. About how the chinese are supreme and how they are unique and not from this world or that only their research is correct and everyone else is wrong. The author is delusional.

The mc is basically a horny 15 year old with a single digit IQ. He has a cheat that has immense potential if used properly. But what does he do? He uses it to secretly masturbate. Thats how bad the novel is.

Wow…this right here is TOP TIER RUBBISH..I got Upto chapter 500+ and I gotta stop before I burn the rest of my brain cells..my guy, your story is great plot line and all…HOWEVER WHATS WITH OVERLOAD PERVERTED SHITE MAN. Very disappointing. Author forgot about the story plot and raved on about his virgin dreams!

Utter rubbish

Fairly decent, but the plot progression is way too slow for my liking. Especially with how long the chapters are, I feel like a whole lot of nothing happens often times and I have no choice but to skim over the text. The first couple dozen or so chapters are also pretty difficult to read as well simply due to the fact of how foolish, naive and ignorant the MC was made out to be. I believe that things don’t really start getting interesting until the 5th volume, but even then that’s only in comparison to the first few initial volumes. Don’t even want to delve into how sex-crazed the MC is and how all boys his age seem to be a bunch of perverted weirdos.
