90% of the chapters just consists of following MC when he's working. Not with the purpose to get to know more about MC and other characters around him, but simply overly detailed scenes of MC running, cleaning, or working on a project where the details of how everything works goes on and on... and on. If I had gotten to know MC or ML better, or about half of the chapters had anything to do with their romantic development, I would probably have continued reading because there is a huge potential if character development and the plot becoming more clear.

don't care enough about the the molecular structure of a plant or the efficiency of changing the shape of a turbine to be frank. But if you're into that, the novel will certainly keep you interested.

like one dimensional characters with over used troupes. MC is the loving "wife" that cooks, cleans, and wants to support ML. ML is emotionally distant and has a hard time opening up. Naturally, these things take time, but the lack of interaction between them is so frustratingly slow. I want to like them, feel for them, stay for them, but it just doesn't happen.

it was a bit confusing to read since it felt very contradictory.

They're living in a future where they're encouraged to pair to up with someone. The society feels open minded with future technology that can also determine same s*x relationships as the best compability and males can also get pregnant and it doesn't seem like it's a taboo in society, like gender & s*x doesn't matter. Basically, a advanced society with progression regarding sexism and h*mophobia, but no.

In the beginning, it seems like whether MC (X) paired up X/Y doesn't matter at all because MC and the one's conducting the tests doesn't value any result as lesser or more unfortunate. The exceptionally high match rate is treated as something praiseworthy and exceptionally good. Because it's not something frowned upon just because they're both X.

The wording and overall tone that follows are a bit... problematic. Rather than "anyone can have a child" it's phrased as "anyone can become a mother", which makes labels suddenly feel very important again. So, if it's between two males one becomes the other the father. But if they're both female, is the one not carrying the child still called the mother? Or does it not matter? But it clearly does since if two males have a child they can't just both be called father.

The female gender role of being the perfect stay at home mom that cooks and cleans is still clearly associated with the "being a good wife" narrative. MC has no problem being called ML's wife, but because ML can't cook he feels that he won't be as good of a wife to MC. So the word "wife" is used as "partner" but with associated old gender stereotypes.

When MC or ML mentions they have a partner, everyone assumes they have a wife (not a husband) as if it's the natural answer. Even though gender shouldn't be a matter, none of them ever correctes them either which makes it feel once again that it is a taboo.

When they got the results none them was treated as "good news, the rating is high. Bad news, it's also a male. None of them feel as if they were hoping for one gender over the other - just a partner.

If the stigma around same s*x relationships did exist in that world, it would make sense for ML (the general) to hide it since he's a well-known important figure for the public and for the future of the world, then it would make sense to refer to MC as his wife instead and not correct people when they assume his partner is a female.

But if it was such a taboo, given his influence and image the staff would be rushing to search for a female instead with the highest rate they have collected or tell him to come back next year. Even if he was open to publicly dating a male, the people in charge would probably force him to hide it or never go through with it in the first place.

So yeah, to me it doesn't make sense how the society is progressive, but it't not, but it's not, yet it is.

I actually guessed who he was pretty early on, but because I'm MTLing sometimes I doubted if I read it right, and some things didn't translate well, so some info was a little confusing, but in the end, I was happy that my guess is correct. I like this kind of rebirth story.

the MC was revealed to be a reincarnation of the super OP Emperor Qin Feng who was the center of the controversy and had died 700 years ago.

the reveal that he was so talented because of his reincarnation.
