The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix - Reviews

I ship the Mc with the og mc

It's alright, though it has its flaws. The main character is quite clever, devising strategies for both his sister's welfare and countering his foes. He isn't afraid to utilize influential sects or his own protagonist status to achieve his goals. However, the issue lies in the disproportionate amount of intellect attributed to the MC. The protagonist is practically a fool, fixated solely on the MC's sister, who reciprocates that infatuation despite their half-sibling relationship. Their antics with other characters can range from entertaining to tedious, depending on the specific scene.

I've been pondering what exactly captivated me about this novel. The romance aspect is practically non-existent and quite unsatisfactory; it's almost like an afterthought. Initially, the introduction was harsh, yet it effectively established the main character's traits. He's practical and self-centered, but surprisingly grounded compared to many other protagonists I've encountered. Surprisingly, without giving away any spoilers: there are instances where he calls out the female characters for having low self-esteem, effortlessly turning them down before they even get the chance to confess.

While I wouldn't consider this a groundbreaking masterpiece, as a Chinese wuxia novel, this particular beginning has certainly stood out among the ones I've read. I'm hopeful that the rest of the story maintains this strong foundation.

Sir!!!!! It is a serious matter. Which chapter is it?

From what i remember, i dont think theres any

Go read I'll surpass the mc

This narrative stands out due to its well-crafted protagonist who relies on meticulous planning,不同于寻常作品中的强角色。故事的主角自身较为弱势，他不仅要为自己，还要为妹妹谋篇布局。穿插在章节中的幽默诙谐元素适时地为情节增添轻松愉快的气氛。到目前为止，逻辑性保持得很好，没有突兀的情节转折或不合理的行为，整体上给人以连贯而可信的感觉。

Firstly, I couldn't locate a complete Chinese novel version, which hindered my ability to read it fully through Google Translate. Regrettably, I am currently on hold until the English translations catch up, as there are 388 chapters available at the moment of this review.

The story, although not centered around an overpowered protagonist, adheres to its title, showcasing the transformation of the main character's sister, or disciple, into a powerful figure, symbolizing her rise like a phoenix. The narrative shares similarities with "Ending Maker," where the protagonist enters a game knowing its plot, utilizing that knowledge as an advantage. Our protagonist employs his game insights to manipulate events and gain benefits.

The relationships between the main character and supporting characters are portrayed well, but occasionally, they serve as plot devices when the author faces a storytelling roadblock. To move the story forward, forced romantic subplots are employed, which can be less enjoyable to read. However, these instances are relatively minor and do not significantly detract from the overall reading experience.

I perceive the novel as promising, but it unfortunately loses its appeal as one delves deeper. Here are some specific instances that contribute to this disappointment:

1. The last 100+ chapters predominantly focus on the Moon Sword Sect, despite its extensive coverage, it fails to live up to its significance in the narrative.

2. Female characters introduced seem expendable; their presence often feels tangential, as if their arcs or purposes are solely for temporary plot points.

3. The protagonist's character development remains stagnant, which prevents the novel from delivering the satisfying experience typically found in harem stories where the MC's growth is key.

4. Outside of the initial setup, there's a lack of tension or high-stakes situations, maintaining a comfortable environment both in action sequences and interpersonal dynamics. This predictability becomes monotonous.

It's truly astonishing how well this xuanhuan (Chinese novel) has been executed. There's no over-the-top young master swooning over the protagonist's women in every chapter. No random clan elder creating trouble for the main character without reason. No gratuitous face-slapping to assert dominance or coincidental "once-in-a-millennium" events following the MC like a charm. The supporting characters aren't one-dimensional; they don't blindly dislike the MC simply because he's from a humble sect.

This narrative leans more towards a slice-of-life tale than an epic fantasy of struggle and immortality. Most characters are relatable and decent, resulting in fewer action-packed scenes. However, thanks to the comedic touch and the skillful writing by the author and translator, it remains highly entertaining.

As for the question of why the younger sister supports the MC despite his rigorous training, the answer lies in their shared experience. He was by her side through thick and thin, taking care of her when she was unwell and nurturing her growth with constant medical care and cultivation aids, practically raising her.

In terms of cultivation, migration, harem dynamics, and a general genre title, this particular story achieves a commendable balance. It's impressive how these diverse elements are woven together seamlessly. The main characters are all likable, and even the named supporting roles have been enjoyable. Although the pacing might be a tad slow, it's still quite tolerable. As for the stakes, they might seem low at times, but the narrative has managed to maintain its appeal throughout. Overall, it's a solid read despite some minor drawbacks.

Thank you for translating this! I love reading it so much! Reincarnation, male lead to booty and all have a happy married life *-*PS: etvolare, are you French ?
