The Seventh Hand

Sharon is a sweet name, good work author

Trash cheating companies like EMP will never be supported.I have already heard about 3 good writers falling into their trap.As an avid reader of fiction I strongly condemn such exploitative practices.Whats more this work is already pailgraised.

The system idea in this novel is very cool and doesn’t seem too op at first. But it is op. But the character designs here what sucks.. the descriptions are just “she is pretty” and “nation toppling beauty” pretty vague. And the male descriptions er pretty nonexistent.And this part is a personal pet peeve of mine but the females in this story are seemingly lambs up for slaughter and are suppressed in a man world. I would accept that **** if women just suck at fighting and cultivation but all women can cultivate perfectly well, bothers me that these chicks are just eye candy that can’t do jack **** themselves. Just seems as if the author is sexist or simply sucks at writing strong female characters. Then my second pet peeve, the mc’s whole revenge plot against the empress is fine but his grudge against his father is sooooooooooo forced. Than there is the mc’s step sister/future wife - I hate this bîtch. She is sooooooooooo useless and ultimately just gets all the trash items that the system pōops out. She does absolutely nothing to the plot! And the reason why I still read this novel after all that, is because I think this system is a cool and seemingly a new idea/concept from regular systems in other novels. And also the translators have done a great job with this not gonna lie.

whelp I don't need to read this one to find out what happens since the description spoils the entire novel..............................................

Initial Impressions~ The novel starts off with a short flashback in the form of a dream where he was once a professional "CSGO" player in the finals of a major competition. The noteworthy point of the flashback is the "black-mask" he wears during the competition with his identity hidden from others similar to the actions of a professional Hearthstone player/streamer named "DisguiseToast". The "black-mask" can be seen from the cover art of the novel. The world is made to be as realistic as possible although not sure if that is going to change in the later chapters.The main character is equipped with a higher level of gaming skills (maybe overpowered) where he acquired but have to quit from a game in the past due to some reason. I do get a "King's Avatar" Vibe from this starting point. However, the MC personality wise is more of a lesser-jerk who have a sister-complex and may potentially be interested in little girls. Basically, his relationship with his younger stepsister turn sour when he mistreated her early on so he tries to mend the relationship in an invasive manner. The author probably wrote a flawed MC so that he can be corrected in future development and the MC is not all that terrible in attitude to make you despise him. The character development in the novel is well done because we can fully imagine how the appearance of the MC looks like and his traits. Moreover, the side characters does have a brief colorful description of themselves so their interactions with the MC will be more realistic. The author really focuses his attention on the character development.The author would throw-in frequent Japanese terms/culture in the story such as loli, anime and oni-chan as well as plenty of swearing in the MC's monologue. The novel do not use the "stuck in virtual game" or the "I have a problem so I need the game to earn money solo" trope so there would be a heavy mix of real lifestyle and gaming on PC with other real players commenting from the sidelines instead. The novel is highly immersive in the world of "PUBG" and it is advisable you know the game mechanics beforehand like the type of guns and landing phase to fully enjoy the action. The author have written in the way that stay true to how a "PUBG" match is played and the novel would likely be the 'truest' gaming novel here in QIDIAN. Translators does have a good reputation of providing high quality reads while conveying the wordplay/quotes/references the author utilize.Overall, I recommend you give the novel a try unless you dislike novels that focus on one match for too long or the slower story development due to heavy emphasis on the character.
