standard genre nationalism and country specific racism with everyone against china. the author also loves to write the numbers in detail, so every 2 to 3 chapters you just have a whole chapter full of the character panel, or the mount character panel. also when he plunders a skill the author shows the original skill, explains what it would be at max, and then repeats the max skill effect. this is written for every plundered skill. the translator doesn't do well with numbers, whether it's the ai or Google web, so damage figures/health figures sometimes get messed up. I think if you ignore everything I've written above, it's an acceptable substandard OP power fantasy. ETA: finished it. the author wrote themselves into a hole, where the MC was too strong and nothing mattered anymore and they also forgot all the passives that were plundered.

I started reading this because I liked the idea of someone writing dog blood novels in ancient times, and that part of the novel is pretty interesting. my problem is I don't care about her ML at all. I don't care about how sad he is, how he got hurt, why he's so misanthropic... none of it. every time they interact with each other I cringe. I don't see why she's fawning over this man who treats her like shit. I know he's going to eventually learn to love her or whatever but I really can't get behind this relationship where she is basically a licking dog for a man who constantly threatens her and treats her like she's subhuman. if you like that kinda romance here it is!! don't let me stop you!!!

this is a gender swapped version of the typical earth-merges-with-game-world genre. the protagonist was pua by her own family, and her own biological brother pretended that she had incestuous feelings for him to create solid romantic relationships with the three rich women he became a son-in-law to. quite frankly I think the premise of the "original book" might be a little ridiculous, but the more I think about it, the more sense it seems to make. harem stories are something else. anyway, she takes out her frustration on these people secretly, not killing them instantly, but trying to set them up for a bigger downfall later. I think it's well written, and it's interesting to me that she's not OP immediately. it takes time and effort, and sometimes she makes mistakes planning her revenge. she's absolutely not perfect but I think the story works better with her this way. poison warning: she does give her brother aids. idk how to feel about the biological warfare so I'll just mention it.

I'm not sure why the other review gave this a 1 star. this is a very standard female protagonist cool story with a money giving system. so far (c16) it feels very down to earth in a way I haven't seen in these stories. the protagonist goes back in time to when she was in middle school taking the exam to get into high school, and it's 2003 so she doesn't go nuts buying luxury goods immediately. the system also starts out "small", with only ¥100,000 a day when signing in initially. idk if it's worth 5 stars yet, but I definitely feel like the author is doing something different and interesting with the genre. there is face-slapping but it doesn't mean everyone she meets is brainless and the protagonist is fighting for her life to prove she has money. it seems like the focus might be on being rich and bringing your family and friends, seizing opportunities and not getting carried away. will update this if it drastically changes. ETA: finished it. it's okay, not a lot of face-slapping, nationalism, racism or brainless characters. it kind of feels educational? like teaching the reader to have manners and sense if they suddenly get a ton of money. it's not bad, it's interesting to me. never seen a "brainless money making system" story try to reach life values before.

so I've read 15 chapters of both this story and "cooking god". and I don't believe that it's plagiarism. "cooking god" is the story of a transmigrator ending up in the body of a sect chef stationed in the kitchen to serve new disciples who still have to eat. he binds a cooking god system. this story is about a transmigrator ending up in the body of a pill cultivator who has no talent. he gets a choice between a pill system and a cooking system, chooses the pill system, and the cooking system does not let him choose and forcefully binds him. "cooking god" is a harem story. this story is no CP. the systems aren't even the same. this story's system has a personality and talks back. "cooking god"'s system is just numbers going up. even the food unlocked in the beginning isn't the same. if you look at both stories from the intro, the stories are only similar because they're both cooking cultivation stories, and there's not a lot of drastically different things you can do with that. I think I prefer the way this one is going; the humour is better imo, the ridiculous nature of it starts from the first chapter and continues well. "cooking god" feels more like a slice of life gradual story, and considering that it is over 2200 chapters long and still ongoing, I'm pretty confident about that. this story is fully completed. I am absolutely not reading more of "cooking god" because I don't care for harem stories, but I really don't think this is plagiarism on either end. they're both just system cultivation chef stories.

so it is a little repetitive, but the thing about "get rich quick" system stories is that it is repetitive. you get more and more money, you slap bigger and bigger faces, you become more and more untouchable until the story really has nowhere else to go. this story was pretty okay. the author had a set storyline, the rise felt gradual, the MC did change from a country bumpkin into a self-confident young lady. there was foreshadowing of her background and the system made "logical" sense with acquiring money and properties. for this genre of story you really can't ask for more. it's no CP, and I think the lack of CP made a lot of sense given the MC's character. I didn't think this story was too tiring, but that's because the face-slapping was few and far in-between and not constant. eventually people who were blind ended up not being caricatures to get a lunchbox. everyone was useful in their own way. I'm taking a star off for the ending. the author did say it was rushed and they didn't have any new ideas, but it was still rushed.

i think this story is pretty okay. it doesn't take too long on the stocking up section, and the dramatics and fighting to survive happens soon enough. the MC is cold blooded and she's a little lunatic, but I feel like it's not out of place for someone described as a "weak" woman living 10 years in the apocalypse with no superpowers. the system is OP but I feel like it's just OP so we don't spend tons of time watching her grow the base to an unbelievable level. I took off a star because sometimes the story gets a little annoying. like when someone threatens the MC/she's in a dangerous situation and it takes several chapters for the MC to burst out with her op strength and get rid of the problem immediately. I get that she's low-key and all, but when you have guns in your space is there a reason to not shoot first and ask questions later? do you need to wait for people to be eaten in front of you before you burst out and kill all zombies in a radius? other than that I think it's fine. I don't see a CP forming with anyone but I see the author teasing different options.

this is not a serious cultivation story. it's more focused on humour than epic fights or making fortunes in silence. the MC transmigrated into a book that wasn't written well, had plot holes, and had a white lotus FMC getting all her opportunities from men while acting pitiful and sweet. the MC of the story we're reading is quite the opposite - strong willed, independent, and a little ridiculous. the whole sect is super wealthy and powerful, and instead of hiding it and being cautious, they use that wealth to flaunt their influence. it's certainly supposed to be a humourous story, but I can see why the humour wouldn't work. I think it's funny ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
