Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Scientist Rong Xi is a 23rd-century nerd genius. Despite his astonishing intelligence, he was born weak. He has a very broad range of interests, which includes Internet novels.

He passed away at home from overwork. He woke up to discover that he had become the cannon fodder in an exquisite novel.

None of this matters to Rong Xi. All that matters to him is maintaining good health so he can carry on with his research! However, when did he finally find the protagonist’s adoptive father after conducting endless research?

When the infamous Rong’s son started his journey:

– The local county magistrate: Rong’s son was really awesome! The grain yield per mu in our county is twice that of last year! This represents a political victory! What a triumph for politics!
– Minister of the Ministry of Industry: Rong Shangshu gave birth to a good son! His son’s projects are beneficial to everyone!
– Rong family children: My brother is incredibly gifted and possesses remarkable, admirable skills!
– The Minister of the Ministry of War: With Mr. Rong’s blessing, this magical weapon will undoubtedly raise our nation’s stature!
Young Emperor: Reward, reward, reward!
…
The God of War of the Wei Dynasty: Do less research and be careful about harming your body.

The romance of this novel and the characters overall are rather enjoyable. The author makes a wise decision in not letting the main character go back to the capital so we only ever get small glimpses of the cannon fodder part of the MCs family. However the rest of the book is subpar its not even as good as other books of the same genre when it comes to the making things. The logic is rough and the MC really just feels like a cheat. A researcher wouldn't know the... more>> things he does unless he is specifically researching ancient production techniques in which case he would be known as a historian instead. A lot of authors seem to have some sort of misunderstanding about scientists, that they have all the knowledge the world has to offer when most scientists are knowledgeable in a very narrow field. In the end this book is readable but not memorable. <<less

I loved it. I don't know how to explain it, but I just loved every character even the ones that appeared just for a small time. So much fluff, it made me extremely happy.

Definitely recommended, will reread in some time.

Romance was good, like how they meet in the first place, he already saved ML. Just the pace gets mess up as the chapters goes along, MC introduce something in one chapter and then introduce something else in the next chapter.

Just rinse and repeat then they concentrate heavily on the romance, the novel is short so I don't blame it. Just the plot is not as fulfilling anymore, everything comes too easily to me. I guess that ' Everybody loves' title means like this, everyone just loves him no matter... more>> what. ML's protection feels like a big cheat nothing can beat him, the fact he died in the main novel is a joke. The early characters gets snubbed after they are done with their uses

Basically everyone is just honky dory, so happy and praises MC everytime. The Era is too desolate to me, they don't even have horseshoes or knows how to fry things. Lol I think it's the most behind the times in Ancient Era that I ever read, they don't know anything but only boiling meat and even cotton they don't know..

I do want to know more about Jin Li and his country, I did wish MC and ML go there together for another war arc.

The dad was a disappointment, He only cares about reputation I thought he was going to redeem himself in a way.

Short read but a interesting read. <<less

I love transmigration, farming, business and world building and I've read almost every novel that comes under these genres. However, this novel is simply all over the place for me.

The author is more interested in introducing new characters and inventions (that comes from the modern era), but spends less time explaining what the MC actually does with the outcome. In other words, I'd like to see what he had done with the inventions/the money that he had earned from the inventions and how they had changed his life.

... more>>Even when the author shows it here and there, it's not believable at all. He earns a considerable amount of money selling a new method of using coal, but he can't afford winter clothes with that money?!

The ML's plot feels like that of a side character. It's a major letdown for me. Also, I don't see why the ML would like the MC other than his smarts which he only gets to know through his inventions. I'd have preferred to see more interaction between the two.

It's true Mr Rong is likable and that is exactly why you need more of his thoughts and emotions conveyed in the story. On a positive note, if you take each individual chapter, it's quite calming to read. <<less

Not rated as I have dropped midway through chapter 4.

I don't find the story engaging. It just jumps straight in and feels like it expects you to know the backstory already - if it wasn't explained in the description then I would be completely lost. I actually checked if I had accidentally missed the first couple of chapters!

A very straight forward feel-good gary stu type of novel... fun and light-hearted, a quick read and a good dose of dopamine! Two things to comment on: 1. The protagonist is RX's brother RL, who doesn't hate him and is actually on his side. This isn't usually typical in these types of novel. Their brotherly relationship is good and harmonious, only the father and the fourth son (RH) is mean to RX. 2. The translation is rough. I don't want to say MTL bc I don't actually know and I... more>> dont want to offend if it isn't, but the translated text is choppy and can sometimes be confusing to read. I came in and was surprised by the quality. Anyways it's not a big deal, just something to keep in mind bc there's some parts I had to actually connect the dots myself to figure out the story. It's not a complicated novel and its mostly straight forward. So if you're looking for a good time and haven't read something like this in a while, enjoy! <<less

I liked it, a slice of life story without plot, with interesting characters.

Not a story I would reread, but if you want to read a calmer novel after a complex novel this is for you

An enjoyable read. Felt sort of like slice of life (anime), and the MC gets to crafting very quickly. I liked the relationships/friendships, bits of drama, and the growing relationship between MC and ML.

Low 2 stars: A very typical transmigration-into-ancient-times story (additionally, it's a transmigration-into-book story, though the "original book" stuff barely matters) featuring a protagonist who uses his knowledge of unknown-to-this-world things like frying pans and charcoal briquettes to build amiable bonds with others, incidentally make money (though this isn't his driving goal), and succeed with no real problems or hardship. It's lol-worthy how he can draw up perfect blueprints for devices to pack and make charcoal, make coal-burning stoves, create the specific type of kiln needed to create glass and, of... more>> course, easily source the exact pure materials for making glass too and create perfectly clear glass immediately, and knows in intimate detail the method for smelting higher-quality iron than is currently possible in this world—and things continue along this unbelievable vein for the entire story. The translation is decent though, which is a plus.

Who the MC was before he transmigrated is so handwaved and unimportant that he has no identity at all throughout the entire novel—until I happened to reread the summary blurb, and there finally his background as a 23rd century scientist nerd genius is revealed, which somehow means he has practical knowledge of how to build and refine and cook anything and everything. Nowhere in the actual text of the story is this exotic futuristic background of his ever mentioned. Additionally, the fact that he's from the 23rd century also makes no difference—he might as well be from the 22nd century, or the 30th, or the 21st because there's nothing futuristic or scifi about what he does or how he thinks.

Unlike other similar transmigration stories, I had more trouble suspending my disbelief and just brainlessly enjoying a generic smooth success story because I couldn't believe that nobody in this entire world knows how to fry food because woks/pans/shallow pots don't exist. In the entire land, only steaming and boiling and eating things raw or maybe cooked on a stick over an open flame are the only known cooking methods? If this were Stone Age/primitive transmigration, okay sure maybe nobody knows what frying is, but this isn't primitive China, it's ancient China and... I don't know what era, but they have iron, metal pots, and other metal things and in general it's like any other historical/ancient China setting, and I just can't believe, even in this shallow generic story, that nobody has EVER fried anything ever, and it is a totally unknown cooking technique.

The craftsman of this world are also super amazing, able to immediately source pure ingredients/components and perfectly create at first try precisely what the MC draws on a piece of a paper despite not knowing anything about what they're creating or what it's for as the MC merely smiles mysteriously until the goods are delivered to him, upon which time he then proceeds to (condescendingly) educate them about how to do this or that. The others are then totally mind-blown and start revering the MC for his incredible innovation and knowledge, like somehow being able to refine pure white sugar instead of the normal brown sugar (which process is hidden even from the reader btw, it's never described, he just somehow does it—most of the things he "creates" are like this, where the actual how-to is skipped over, and it really seems like it's because the author didn't know and didn't want to do any basic research).

Even for a generic ancient transmigration easy-and-smooth-success novel, I somehow found it less than compelling—possibly because the MC has no real drive or difficulties to overcome, and he doesn't have a specialty in any particular area of knowledge, he's just a walking Wikipedia of How To Make Everything.

In most ancient transmigration novels, the MC overcomes obstacles, romances (or is romanced) by the ML, and either skyrockets or strolls uphill to riches and renown. But in this novel, the MC doesn't really encounter obstacles and the romance starts off so bland and underdescribed that by a third of the way into the story I still wasn't sure which guy was the ML. The MC has no specific goals or desires—it's not like he's on an ambitious mission to technologically and/or agriculturally revolutionize the world, or make money so he can support his family or get married, or gain power and prestige, he wasn't a chef in the past and doesn't have any particular passion for cooking. He just sort of creates stuff because... it's more convenient for him.

Later on, as is typical with Chinese novels, he ends up doing everything for the betterment of the people and country in very "pure-minded" nationalistic goals. Again, not exactly compelling, especially when his own personality is so bland, which is being generous on my part because he basically has no personality.

Everyone worships him for being so smart and creative, but if you think about it, he's actually NOT really smart, creative, innovative, or anything else he's effusively praised for—he's only regurgitating things he learned in modern/future-times. At best, he has a great memory (and apparently super skills to do everything by hand by himself). It's not like he created cooking techniques or developed technology on his own, or discovered principles of thermodynamics himself due to research. He doesn't implement any of his future knowledge in novel ways or have to use charisma and intelligence to convince others to follow his ideas because everyone immediately enthusiastically does what he says.

This starts off as a foodie novel (as the story goes on, the emphasis on food disappears), of course, as the MC's knowledge of the incredibly amazing "frying" and "stir-frying" means he can create dishes nobody has ever heard of before, much less eaten, like stir-fried meat and stir-fried vegetables. Hell, nobody in this world has ever eaten a bean sprout because nobody knew about how to soak beans to make them sprout. *cue eyeroll* The MC also blows everyone's minds when he creates an unheard-of food: tofu. Which he just knows how to make perfectly and instantly.

There's also doses of casual misogyny here and there, such as when a man volunteers to have his sister come learn to cook from the MC with the recommendation and backhanded compliment that she's pretty good [for a woman] and and the MC judges she might be able to learn as much as 70-80% of his own skills [because she's a woman].

She then is sort of a small token side character for a while before being largely forgotten by the story, except for mentioning once in a while that she cooked or did something pretty well [though not as well as the MC/a man could do it].

When the MC starts a school later on to take advantage of, uh, I mean "educate" refugee children, he allows two girls to attend because they seem pretty intelligent. Although occasionally mentioned, neither of these girls is even a side character, neither one ever really excels (the story says that the top student is a boy and the second is one of the girls, but nothing beyond this is ever detailed and more time is devoted to talking about the boys), and at one point it's explicitly stated that even though the math was simple/easy, the only reason the smarter of the two girls understood it was because she was smart [for a girl]. Ugh. This is all really minor background detail stuff but the persistent background thread of casual misogyny rubbed me the wrong way.

Later on, the MC buys a white, blond-haired, blue-eyed sl*ve, which is framed as "rescuing" him from the sl*ve trader, and he can't even be bothered to learn the man's name, instead calling him Jin Jili since that's sorta kinda what weird syllables come out of the guy's mouth when he says his name (according to the MC's POV; the MC supposedly understands half of what he says, because the MC is a transmigrator with familiarity of white people and their languages, but can't totally understand him due to it being an ancient version of the language). Nor does he free "Jin Jili", instead keeping him as a sl*ve and forcing him to work—oh, wait, my bad, Jin Jili loves his new master immediately and is super grateful to the MC for buying him, like seriously, he literally doesn't know anything except this refined young man bought him and he's immediately bowing and scraping and worshipping the MC without knowing a thing about him.

This handsome adult white man becomes absolutely devoted to his new master and loves being a sl*ve and working hard and serving the MC and loving his new sl*ve life and it's really pretty off-putting. Everything he does is for the young master!!! Also, he's not really a sl*ve, at a very late date the MC explicitly tells someone else that his white servant is a friend/not a sl*ve. Mmhmm. Sure.

As for his actual identity:

Spoiler

Turns out he's the PRINCE of a foreign country who was chased into exile by villains, ended up lost at sea, and got captured by sl*ve traders. Yes, the fawning, labor-loving, enthusiastic sl*ve who admires and worships and lives to serve Young Master Rong is, in fact, a bona fide prince and heir apparent who would be king if not for unfortunate circumstances. Yeah. Sure. Right.

Later on, in a plot move blatantly too s*upid even for a mindless transmigration-success novel like this one, just because the guy claims he's a dethroned prince with no other evidence or backing other than his say-so, the emperor agrees to lend him an army and fleet of ships to sail over the sea to his unknown small country to supposedly reclaim his throne, with the promise of a trade alliance if he's successful.

Incidentally, although he's a prince, he's also so knowledgeable that he's basically a shipwright and can instruct the country in how to build ships and sew sails and how to sail them. Because this dynasty doesn't have a navy or any kind of sea-power despite being literally right beside the sea, and boohoo because of this they're at the total mercy of pirates that raid them all the time, despite them being a powerful, prosperous country that, yes, has an army. I get them maybe not having a full-blown navy for whatever barely-believable reason, but I fail to believe that they have so much land-military power but are helpless against the pirates who... have to come onto the LAND to raid.

[collapse]

For a slightly different twist, the body the MC transmigrates into is that of a fat disgraced young nobleman sent to live far from the capital. The text makes sure to constantly remind us that he's fat and out of shape while also constantly remarking on his jadelike skin and elegance and pure gentle eyes and beautiful sincere smile, as he immediately begins dieting so that he can eventually become a conventionally slender and delicate shou. While I initially did find it interesting that his body was fat, that novelty quickly wore off when it became apparent that it didn't really affect anything—it causes him no real difficulties, nobody treates him differently because everyone notices how beautiful he is anyway and he has no particular hangups about his suddenly obese body except for a basic desire to become healthy and fit.

I will also note that while there's not overt fat shaming going on here, it is definitely not positive body representation and while at first it seemed neutral/positive, it quickly becomes hammered in how beautiful and elegant he is despite being fat, and how people overlook how fat he is to admire his other qualities. So yeah, it's more subtly negative and rather distasteful. Coincidentally, he doesn't actually get together with the ML until he's conventially slender again, although they had been making eyes at each other while the MC was still losing weight.

As is the unfortunate case with many Chinese novels, people are transparently exactly what they seem and immediately judge each other at first glance. Although they may have a negative impression beforehand due to hearing rumors or at first glance, one look at someone's noble elegant beautiful delicate face and instantly they know that this is a person of utmost integrity and generosity and goodwill assuredly of noble birth and extensive learning who is practically a saint as well as definitely a scholar. This other mysterious guy has a strong handsome noble face and therefore is definitely a powerful honorable warrior from a noble warrior bloodline who could cleave a mountain in two with a single fart and is a man of utmost character.

On another negative note, I found a number of characters confusing in the beginning, largely due to them being vastly underdescribed (seriously, we barely even get any physical descriptions for them and their personalities aren't very defined beyond one being picky and another being a doctor, even though I was pretty sure one of them was the ML), frequently being grouped together, and having similar names (Chen Chuangu, Chen Dalang, Chen Erlang), and later on—

Spoiler

One of them is revealed to secretly be the new emperor somehow for some reason, it's either Chen Dalang or Chen Erlang since Chen Chuangu is in the same scene so I know it's not him. So Chen Someguy's real name is Qin Ke, and in chapter 21 he tells the MC that his other name is "Sizhi" and to call him "brother Si".

Look, I read a lot of danmei and am familiar with Chinese and other East Asian names and naming practices, and this is one of the only stories where I kept getting tripped up by the the characters' names/identities due to the lack of descriptions and lack of defining characteristics. I was confused by who's who when they first showed up, and later was confused as to who the emperor was, and remained confused for a good long while until the text finally explicitly identified the emperor in a later chapter.

Character Guide:

Chen Erlang = The New Emperor, cousin to Qin Ke

Chen Dalang = Qin Ke AKA King Qin AKA Brother Si, adopted father of Liang Siwen, and is the ML

Chen Chuangu = A doctor who is somehow (?) related to the other two.

[collapse]

I mentioned earlier the MC's incredibly far-ranging super technical knowledge and know-how, and I mean it when I say it's not really compelling when he can just bust out literally anything and everything out of his a** and have random craftsmen instantly perfectly make what he wants (or take a few attempts over a few days but ultimately succeed perfectly). Want to know what the MC knows how to do/make from scratch, and what things are unknown in this ancient-times-China setting?

Spoiler

- how to better refine and smelt iron and therefore make—

- "thin pots" i.e. woks, revolutionizing cooking, because frying was totally unknown before

- this is somewhat unclear, but it seems like he "creates" steel too, not just better iron

- beansprouts (because nobody ever sprouted them to eat before)

- refined white sugar/white rock sugar

- tofu

- coal/coal briquettes and coal stoves

- how to make/use compost for better crops

- grow potatoes he conveniently acquired that are otherwise unknown to the country, and also grow corn

- horseshoes

- glass, including perfectly clear glass in thin sheets suitable for windows

- clear solid glass blocks in order to construct—

- glass greenhouses, complete with creating compacted-dirt seedbeds for cultivating crops inside

- glassware and glass sculptures

- glass-and-other-material thermoses to keep liquids hot/cold for hours

- mercury-and-tinfoil-coated perfect glass mirrors

- telescopes

- microscopes that are powerful enough to see the cells inside a leaf

- glass microscop slides

- gunpowder and therefore "firebombs"/basically grenades, fireworks, and hand cannons

- pencils, including sourcing graphite and clay, grinding them to a slurry and molding and firing them in a kiln, then putting the cores into hollowed-out wooden halves glued together with resin

- crossbows

- cement

- how to use cement and steel bars to create better foundations for buildings/walls

- using cement to create canals (oh yeah he knows how to make and use canals too) for farming irrigation along with treadmill-powered watering systems

- dentures

- the people of this age use cotton balls just to cushion breakable objects during transportation and have never thought to use it any other way so of course the MC immediately recognizes it, buys up a huge supply, and uses it to make warm cotton-padded clothing—because despite him knowing how to make everything else in the universe, the story explicitly states that "cotton spinning technology" is unknown here so he can't make cotton cloth, and apparently people in this world were just freezing throughout the winter because they didn't have any kind of warm clothing (wtf?)

- how to grow cotton from seeds out of season in his greenhouse, which an author's note even acknowledges as being hard to do and so they just exaggerated and winged the details

- toothpowder/toothpaste and toothbrushes

- phosphate fertilizer

- gears and crankshafts in order to create water- and/or human-powered machinery for creating and cutting iron rods

- how to improve the current world's inaccurate water-based compass into a more accurate dry compass

- how to recognize rubber trees from abroad, import enough seeds/saplings to grow enough trees to harvest sufficient rubber to create a whole rubber industry producing multiple products

Yes, this includes him miraculously easily being able to source things like graphite for the pencils and being able to shape telescope lenses himself by hand and acquire exactly the specific type of silica sand to create glass and have craftsmen create perfect gears—yeah. It's not really believable.

[collapse]

I also kind of disliked how he starts educating his mathematical-genius cousin as well as the ML about physics and things like inertia and gravity and etc, by asking them pointed questions about "why do things fall to the ground?" and "if you're traveling in a carriage and it suddenly stops, why do you jerk forward?" as the MC comes across as sooooo superior when these "ignorant" people are puzzled by his questions and can't immediately answer him, and spend days trying to figure it out.

And he doesn't actually teach them, he just posits questions and lets them work it out for themselves over weeks/months and only telling them when they're wrong when they come to him with their answers, because he wants them to use their brains rather than him just giving them answers. Which is admirable in the abstract, but in practice in the story, he just comes across as a superior condescending d*ck. He follows this same principle with a lot of the "technology" he "invents", like not actually improving or creating better versions of things or applying them in other areas, because he wants the craftsmen of the era to work things out for themselves. And I'm just like, Dude, with your superior knowledge, you could save them a lot of time, effort, and ensure their safety, without in any way diminishing their abilities or harshing on their ability to innovate on their own.

As for the romance, it is incredibly bland and low-key. The MC and the ML have zero chemistry with each other and I can't even tell why they like each other—I guess the ML admires the MC's "purity" and super intelligence and ability to invent everything, and the ML is... handsome? And noble? And that's why the MC likes him?

I'm also unclear on the specifics but there is a huge age gap between them. The MC is 16 to begin with and the ML is way older than him—I'm not sure it ever says his exact age, but others remark in surprise/warning on the age difference, and the ML's adopted son is the same age as the MC. Since he's adopted though this doesn't necessarily reflect on the ML's age but it sure sounds like he's been a good father to him for many years... so it's kind of weird to me that he falls in love with someone the same age as his own son. If that's your kink, good for you.

I also was a bit squicked out by the fact that the ML restrains himself from going all the way until the MC turns 18 (even though prior to this they do pretty much everything but sticking it in, and it's so vaguely PG-13-written that I thought they had gone all the way several times). It reminds me too much of how predatory adult men groom young girls so that they can marry or have s*x with them as soon as they turn 18. "Barely legal" isn't my cup of tea, and although the story paints the CP as in love and being "responsible", maybe because I didn't buy the lackluster romance, it just came across as distasteful to me.

The ending is an ending. Nothing really happens, despite the author attempting to drum up tension with a very brief "war" that's conceived and ended within the span of like two chapters and most of it happens as off-screen summary.

I only got through the novel because I was reading a chapter here and a chapter there on occasion as I did other things or had to wait for stuff, otherwise I probably would have dropped it because it was mediocre. There are many, many better ancient-transmigration success stories out there. Go read one of those instead. <<less

I completed the novel in the past three days and since I was reading it continuously, I feel like I noticed all the plot holes and discrepancies that I would have otherwise missed if I were waiting chapter by chapter to be release. It's an okay novel, the plot holes and loose ends are kind of annoying if you were to take the novel seriously but at the same time, the storyline isn't a comedy and it's presented as a serious story so you can't help it.

MC is a teenager,... more>> fifteen at the beginning of the novel and is sent back to the old family house in the countryside because of rumours of misconduct. Our MC also transmigrates into the body at this time. It's mentioned loosely that the MC was a researcher in his lifetime, but it doesn't specify what kind of research he did. Either way, it doesn't matter as it seems like MC is knowledgeable from chemistry to physics to engineering and biology. Oh, and he's also a great cook. He does not have any golden finger or any system that gives him knowledge either.

What is kind of super annoying is how quickly it seems like he accomplishes all these never before seen inventions. It's less than a year for him to invent everything, share that knowledge and have everyone learn how it benefits them. It also feels like it's only less than a month before all his new inventions or culinary cuisines are spread to the capital and raved about at every household and all the rich household chefs have learned how to make it. That's even more viral than today's social media. And his accomplishments are kind of insane, he's created guns for war and he knows how to create different fireworks with different designs and is going on to cotton and rubber and inspiring for a naval army. Again, all this is accomplished in just a year or two max. It's just too fantastical.

ML is apparently super handsome, is a war god and also a prince. He is also super doting and loving with MC.

Oh, and this world is a book apparently. One that MC has read and the protagonist and ML are supposed to be his brother and ML's adopted son. This little tidbit I found unnecessary as besides the fact that the novel is a tragic romance, MC does not share anything else regarding the plot of the novel or any major events or villains. Likewise, nothing at all seems to have happened to his brother or the brother's ML, they get together and then go South and that's it. They aren't mentioned having made any waves or hit any rocks due to MC's disruption to the novel. I think the author should have left the book part out since it made absolutely no difference to the plot. <<less

Well, I kinda enjoyed it but at the same time it was so smooth paced and routine that I cannot say I really liked it. I have contradictory feelings. Anyway I do recommend it if you are into the plots of MC bringing modern knowledge to ancient times and smoothly developing. It was much better than many other novels on the same subject.

One word that I would use to describe this story is calm. The type of story to untangle my mind when I'm stressed. All fluffy and sweet and not that deep. Problems and conflicts are easily solved or will be solved eventually. The characters' personality are quite mellow. If you're looking for the ultimate climax, it's not there. May not be everyone's cup of tea.

This novel is really aimless, even for a slice of life. I generally enjoy these kinds of "introduce future technology and ideas to ancient times" plots, but my biggest gripe is that the actual introduction of new technology felt like it had no impact whatsoever.

The MC achieves whatever technology he wants to introduce (be it glass, new crops, gunpowder, etc.) way too easily. I would've been fine with this if the focus is more on how this makes the lives of others better, but that's pretty much glossed over. Which... more>> leads me to a related problem: the MC being a bit of a polymath is intriguing, but it ultimately bogs down the plot because his pace of introducing new technology is ridiculously rapid, not to mention very random.

To make matters worse, the romance was nothing to write home about either, and was not interesting enough on its own to make me ignore all of the above either. So yeah, dropping this. <<less
