did you say COMEDY? dont fret my friend you've come to the right place. IRAS is a treasure trove of troll-ing.. I mean laughter. Its a little bit lukewarm at first but be patient it will get better and better until you cant stop reading and wanting more (heck u will even have the urge to start reading MTL... so~ jealous to those who can read chinese)

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

This is a genuine rare find. It's hilarious and it is extremely fun to read. I recommend this as a novel people should try, they won't regret it.

Edit: Remember that this is a comedic novel that is meant to have a domineering MC that face slaps everyone. Just skip the parts where he thinks with his 3rd leg.

Just Awesome :D Will keep reading, an excellent slice of life with a MC who seems decent and a good story which is original enough to distinguish it of most slice of life novels.

Special thanks to translators Legge & CKtalon and editor Reiji Ozora, they are doing an awesome job !

This is probably the best translated novel out there. Due to the fact it is modern day I really can relate to it and don't have to spend the time to figure out what giving face means. Adding to the attraction is the plot armour and the fact that the MC is a serial plagiarizer. Gives the novel a tongue in cheek feel to it. Thanks to the translator's keep it up guys and hopefully more and more translator's will be inspired to pick up novels like these, I would... more>> love it if a story like this came from english writers as well; though I feel I would be prejudiced against them but please do try! Thanks again and if you are reading this for a review, Just Read The Chapters. You will most probably laugh! <<less

This is absolutely funny. I like the MC's personality. He is decisive and vindictive. He's also shameless and plagiarizes to no end. I find the characters around him somewhat interesting so far. The MC's goal is only to become famous, so he utilizes an alternate world to profit off of the main world's famous works to make himself famous.

Either the chapters are too short or I read too fast, because I'm sad now that I've caught up to the current amount available. This is really nice to read, has great comedy that'll make you snort more air out of your nose than usual. It even makes you almost forgot about the convenient ways the plot coincidentally gives him what he needs before he even know he needs it.

First of all, I'd like to say that this novel is absolutely hilarious. It's amazingly well written and the pace is just wonderful. The protagonist has a very unique personality and is not generic in the least. He's also not op and thus making the novel standout. He relies on his wit and a little bit of luck to get out of tough situations. I would put this novel right up there with Transcending The Nine Heavens. But be warned, this novel doesn't have action or not yet at least... more>> but I promise you that you will not miss it in the slightest. <<less

It was hilariously FUN :3 *fumu*

10/5 (if possible)

Recommended for all ages!! A Good Vibes story!! It will lift your mood up!!

... more>> Refreshing!!

The perfect word that describes IRAS, Got me hook for the very first time. It was Love at first sight.

This story really is selling like MEAT BUNS. And the reason was precisely the fact that the story's plot/idea was totally fresh (specially in this age where the transported to another world sh*ts and Unending revenge plot is the thing). It was truly out - of - the - norm. The novel picks ones curiousity leaving the Readers no choice but to continue to read! And it was worth it!! Haii recommended to all <<less

I guess this novel is a guilty pleasure of mine. The negative reviews are correct: the MC/author is a racist, nationalistic person. However, I can't help but enjoy reading the face slapping and humor.

It's odd that the story is about a fiercely nationalistic Chinese guy, but much of the plot is critical to the Chinese governmental institution's censorship. The story actually ended up being heavily censored and eventually banned. It also pisses me off that the translator didn't translate the censored parts of the story.

I was surprised at how accurate... more>> some of the technical skills were that the MC uses in the story. Certainly the author did his homework. It's unfortunate that the story didn't get an ending, but I think it's worth a read. Certainly better than Superstars of Tomorrow. <<less

Loved this to death for the face-smacking crap it showed in the beginnings, didn't really mind the nationalism much. Then you reach the later parts and those nationalism parts become extremely screwy and you can really see that the book turned from nationalistic and mocking into some propaganda shithead novel. It's hard not to think about how this novel probably was written in a genuine manner by some ret*rd Chinese hacked up with CCP ideological crap (or the author was forced to make it EX propaganda since it shat on... more>> the Chinese government a few times too).

Anyways, what a mess.

Spoiler

Like at the start, the novel was willing to point out the absurdities of China, like their government-maintained media, ignorance of environmental issues like smog, and other crap. The beginning usually had him using his fantasy system to dodge these obstacles of being blocked by the government, but later on the novel started to use his connections with his wife to bypass these restrictions. Anyways, somewhere along the line, it got extremely propaganda-like (Like dozen times larger than before). It's either the author truly believes in that crap despite having the balls to write a novel about stealing other people's works (and inadvertedly admitting that other cultures are better than China's), or maybe the Chinese censors had noticed how much the author criticized the Chinese government and they gave the guy the choice to either delete it or emphasize the CCP propaganda and how "China No. 1". I dunno which one's worse.

Anyways, what a disappointment.

So I actually really enjoyed the beginning portion of this story. However the more he gets famous, the worse the story gets. Ignoring the nationalism, there is no need to tr*sh every single culture/country he's literally plagiarizing from. Like you can love your country and still not be a d*ck to everyone else. The premise is a similar world without major works but like at this point he's just taking everything, what is left of the original world he migrated to? Is there even any works of theirs. The plagiarism... more>> is so bad that the actual novel got hit by disney. Really sexist and xenophobic. It also is super repetitive now, there is only so much "get insulted", "insults back", "steals major work to slap face", "wins award" you can take before its just copy paste (just like what MC is doing). <<less

This is a great novel that lived too long.

Many people hate on this novel for 'copying things'- it's especially toxic how the forums here treat this novel; however this novel has 1695 chapters whilst the novels it 'copies' ideas from seem to have half of that. Though it didn't do things originally and 'copied' - I prefer to say it improved upon the stolen ideas from other novels and executed them better.

... more>>
Spoiler

This should've ended around chapter 1200- when he has his farewell concert and gets caught for hacking; I legit cried and I thought it was a beautiful, tragic and great way to finish, he was going to prison with a pregnant wife for crimes, in my opinion a touching and realistic take on the whole 'i've got a cheat and now I'm untouchable' where it doesn't end up going that way at all and he gets caught. I was genuinely surprised that it kept going and the respect I'd built up for the author for ending what was a rom-com escapism novel as a tragedy, completely disappeared.

I thought this was emulating "A Valiant Life" and giving up the endless cultivation/skill accumulation stuff with a realistic ending - if you're unaware then here's a spoiler for A Valiant Life

Spoiler

He gets a magic book that gives him a skill system and gives him random skills, just like IRAS, except around chapter 695 he declares he's done and the book keeps trying to convince him to keep using the system and he'll 'become a god' and he declines, instead he seals the book and settles down with his four wives, creating his own dynasty and the final chapter is from the perspective of his grandson (who I think receives the book?)

At first, I really love this but then it started to get so very cringe.

The MC here is incredibly shameless, racist, always think that he was above others, a plagiarist, and also a bastard. I mean if I were to meet him, I know in my heart that this guy is up to no good.

I hate the way he treated women. It's like he sees them like a menu dish like wtf? I remember that in an early chapters, he got the invisibility spell or what not and surprisingly, a... more>> woman appeared and what did he do? He goggled at her. When he married his wife, it's like he treated her like some a freaking s*x toy. The faq?

I know that the ideas of the author is running out. And I know that the author will pull something bullsh*t that the MC will go back to the original world or something like that to refresh and gather materials. Wow, the guy even didn't know what guilt is.

People are started to get annoyed by him and I understand them. The MC treat himself as a person who could achieve everything (which he could with the help of his system) even though he humbled himself (him? Humble? I will eat sh*t if that happens).

When you read this, you might think that I was blinded by rage and hatred on this novel. I am actually.

The Author on this novel is a truly chunnibyou. Are you discontented about your life? Freaking delusional.

The translator and editor is quite good and before you read this, stick to your morals and DON'T EVER OF COPYING HIS BEHAVIOR. <<less

Ok. I am just gonna explain a little bit about the author from my intuition. He is either forced to make this story by Chinese govt as a propaganda or he is an idiot. Cause, the logic of author works like this " Umm, they are not from China. Ok so that means they are culturally less advanced so they are barbaric. So everyone there must be bad too. Ok, black people especially are bad. I mean they are black. Ofcourse they are someone not good looking and almost a... more>> gangster " so this is what goes through his mind. I mean from what I think that guy was almost a borderline creep and the type girls would hate but he will showthing amazing and she is in love wow. I read a Chinese novel " the reverse scale of dragon ", the main character in that novel was inherently black and you know what author did. His skin colour was treated like a problem through out the novel and he was becoming less black as ch increases. I mean here every other country is saying #blacklifematter and then we have this. I pity for China in this regard.

Now, if we ignore the racism which author does (I mean thank God they didnt introduced a western child or Korean child or he would have said something about that too), the plot is like repetitive to the extreme.

He finds a job, do some bullahit and creates a havoc, then get himself into a weird situation, use his system to get out, top the list of whatever he was into, then that will offend someone really big and he will fire him, he finds a new job. Boom, again the same game. This is almost the plot of entire novel.

so Racism, repeated plot but I have to good points which it had too or its gonna be bias like the author. The novel is funny for first few 100 chs, after that its repetitive. Some chs are highly 3 dimensional. MC does work with a clear goal. The pacing is good too. That's all I can think of.

Literaly just read like 200 Chs or something if you are reading after that its pretty bad. <<less

Due to recent events I remembered this novel and though ‘oh, this person opinion of China, reminds me of that novel that I read some time ago... and dropped’

My opinion is based on 2-3 years old memory so no details and will keep it short. The story was entertaining and had the addictive quality however as many has pointed out, the MC is piece of shit. I ignored quite a few overly patriotic, racist and condescending moments until it was so bad that I wanted to get into the novel... more>> just to beat MC and throw him in the middle of the #metoo meeting gathering. There was nothing to redeem that tr*sh so I stopped reading for good.

Now thinking back the novel has left me quite the impression all for the wrong reasons ? I see that MC behaviour was based on actual Chinese sentiments and am quite sad to know that out there people are so close minded and so unwilling to accept what is different. I am honestly surprised that that sort of story was translated - it is logical to talk bad behind the foreigner back, not in his face but webnovel even takes our money in order to insult us. Golden ? <<less

No charm, no personal skill, extremely arrogant and racist and despite knowing his looks and heights are just average, he still a pe*vert to the core. I just had to drop it at some point. And why there is not even a harem tag as MC had that many love interest! He just cheated all the way to the top and kept scolding people with REAL knowledge (at least they learnt what they know by themselves without a cheat) cheap romance bait every now and then, and despite being an... more>> utter tr*sh (without the cheat) he acts like a big shot all knowing s*upid ass. What the hell the writer was thinking?! At least give some good quality to MC. Only morally sound would do. But you call someone aunty and take pleasure with her, even your collage belle. Even for romance you had to use your cheat. Damn tr*sh. I directly recommend not to read this utter tr*sh. <<less
