Anyone got recommendations for anything similar to this (at least similar to the beginning of this)
The writing and translation are commendable. The main character, a formidable female protagonist, focuses on efficiently completing her combat assignments without relying on unfair advantages. Initially, she lacks skills and charisma, but gradually rises through the ranks, albeit at a sluggish pace. The early chapters of each arc can be disheartening, particularly during the first one where the protagonist faces injustice – so be cautious; this isn't for those seeking an overpowered hero or instant gratification.
Each arc begins with a rough start, but the story's progression offers intrigue. In terms of romance, this novel is a dry desert; love interests are scarce, and positive interactions with the main character are as rare as finding a mythical unicorn. The male lead, if present, is practically non-existent. If you can endure the harsh beginning and appreciate character development, there's potential for an engaging narrative.
hope it's good. here we go.
Imma be honest, I do not feel the chemistry between the mc and ml, I know they're supposed to like each other but the way it is written it feels so sudden, like I'd get why xia would fall for the mc but I fail to see why mc would fall for xia, like I felt like the author trying to make it subtle but failed horribly, look I like the novel but this one thing just bothers me
So I actually read up to... chapter 490-ish? I think? Anyways that was during the very long hiatus the story was on, so when I realized it was updating again, I decided to give it another read, but I just couldn't get past the beginning even if I remember it being better later on. I do have a set of critiques for later sections of the story as well actually (from what I remember anyways). I remember quite liking the setting overall and the amount of detail that went into kitsune society. I liked their evolution and power system, how for most characters they used a few powers in a versatile way instead of having a dozen powers that only do one thing (except for Tang, who actually suffers from the problem of having way too many abilities to use them all, seriously, the story needs to turn it down a little). And of course I have some more nitpicks here and there but nothing that's stop me. Except for getting through the beginning. Apparently my tolerance for it has gone down.
I’ll never read yaoi, so no I didn’t

Checking if anyone is wearing a monocle around me Oh hey man why are you wearing a monocle on your left eye. Wait!! Why are you cleaning your monocle and putting it on your right eye. Wait!! Wait!! Wait!! Help!!!!!
It's remarkable how the author managed to create a scenario where there's no likable character by Chapter 70; I must admit, I'm quite impressed despite the MC's inconsistency. He comes across as entitled, not particularly smart yet thinks highly of himself, claims to have high morals but has worked for both Libra and the underground, making him hypocritical. He's a self-righteous, talentless individual with an inflated sense of self-importance who doesn't put in the effort. Oh, and did I mention he has a secret condition, cancer, which he can't even muster the energy to acknowledge – spoiler alert! The majority of the significant characters are women with off-putting personalities, leaving me frustrated enough to want to physically confront them. The interactions between characters are either strained or lack authenticity, and they struggle to form genuine connections. The overall atmosphere of the novel feels suffocating and frustrating due to the slow pacing, which quickly becomes annoying. Despite the writing and translation being commendable, the story's quality suffers from these issues.
The "My Goalkeeping System" captivated me with its unique blend of sports psychology and character development. The protagonist's journey from a struggling novice to a confident goalkeeper was both inspiring and relatable. The author's vivid descriptions of the matches and the protagonist's thought process made every save a nail-biting experience. The underlying themes of resilience and self-discovery resonated deeply, making it a compelling read that kept me hooked till the end. A must-read for fans of sports fiction and those seeking an engaging tale of personal growth.
Yeah, it is readable without having any prior knowledge of Genshin
Recommended. More update, thank you?
