The MC, Lu Wu is an a*hole. Not only does he use ppl, but he constantly belittles Dudu. Dudu is the original Lu Wu’s childhood “friend” and punching bag and when the Mc reincarnates into his body he continues the trend. Also, the way he treats his little skeleton like a tool instead of a companion is irritating. He can’t seem to understand how Dudu’s pig got a bonding skill—its bc she doesn’t treat it like a means to an end.Honestly, while I feel bad for Dudu, she has to be the biggest floor mat I’ve ever had the misfortune to read. It was said multiple times that if Lu Wu wanted to sell her she would help him count the money. Based on her character, it is absolutely true. I do have to hand it to the author tho, they made a character come alive in such a way she has only spoken one line. She seriously doesn’t speak, she just nods and goes with the program. Lu Wu will do something that causes her grief but she won’t say anything. Irl, internalizing those feelings coupled with his bullying her would breed resentment. I seriously wanted to like this novel. It’s so hard to find a good summoning novel with decent romance. Unfortunately, this novel falls short. I’m not even going to go into his underwhelming “golden finger system.” It’s so underwhelming that the novel would be better without it. While I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone, I do applaud the author for their efforts. Writing isn’t easy, nor is it easy to put yourself out there. Perhaps I will like their next novel. Until then, good luck on your writing endeavors. ✌?
