a time rewind - which I consider kind of a cop out ending. The school, kids, teachers, and retired players could NOT be recreated the same for the MC when he "grew up again" because the rewind made major changes to the entire world.

I'll start with the beginning, I was super excited and hyped because this is a new and exciting concept, I was expecting it to be leaning more towards 1st half MC being a teacher and 2nd half of the story being infinite flow themed and unconditionally sweet romance.

Halfway through the novel, it turns out quite different from what I expected, yes MC is a teacher and he's really kind, but from the synopsis I perceived him as more of a calm-bold character, more like Xie Tao (mc's childhood friend) the development of him finding out about the abilities are quite different from the synopsis, if I'm being honest I had an impulse to "pause" the novel.

Toward the ending, my emotion is actually quite neutral, no overly sadness, no happiness for the ending (it's a HE), it was more of "Oh it's over" sudden realization, cuz it didn't feel like an ending to me, the whole thing of reversing time and everyone receives a happily ever after just comes so suddenly that my emotions didn't have time to react.

When the final arc started it built up no tension to the story, the "Termite" supposedly the villain had no clear goals and literally were just there to make some plot. Li Xian (Li Huai's dad) is like that "character who haunts the narrative", at least the author tried but he felt more like just a cause and effect that you forgot.

But as to why I rated it a 5 star, I actually would say 4.5 but rounded it to 5 for a higher rating since I actually did enjoy the novel, it was the engagement and comedy as well as some characters for me because I started this 3 days ago (for context I'm a really slow reader who prob reads 4 chapters a day when unmotivated).

I'm too lazy to type the rest so to summarize, I wanted a s*upidly funny novel where everyone likes MC and the world just basically goes there way and there are no hardships that can't be easily overcome, ml's personality is actually what I've been dreading for days, someone who treats his lover above all shows him only the best of himself but gets easily jealous and is extremely possessive, though it's quite a lot of red flags I only consider it red when it's unrequited love and they hurt the MC (physically or mentally, accidentally or purposefully).

I really like Xi Chang who a cute little fish and Li Heng, I don't know how they ended up together though cuz I read from a pirated website so I couldn't find the side stories. So I'm sure everyone had a more conclusive ending there.

I also enjoyed each of mc's student, they are defined and not all "super smart and super strong with same personality" they have their own stories and personalities that are more lively than Li Xian's dead gray hair. I do wonder if Sesia and Tan Mo got together and how Xin Xia would react. Did Fu Qin reunite with the Shen family and what happened to Chu Xi?

MC's father is a SSS boss who's power was the world would bend to their will. His thoughts would become true. Because of this, he became bored and eventually developed depression (and maybe other conditions). Due to his mental unstability, he didn't think able to take care of MC and give him the care he deserved. Thus, he researched orphanages and gave MC to the best one he could find. In addition, he gave MC a same age playmate that would never betray him and could be trusted (not a split version of himself but using his powers). MC grew up in the human world and didn't know about his monster side until he got to school.
