The novel is excellent, but certain details disturb my reading, such as the excessive harem of the MC. This isn't the first time I've read harem stories, so usually it doesn't bother me too much, but here the MC seems to be banging everything that moves, which ends up becoming a bit much (Otohime, Toki and Sora really didn't seem necessary to me). It's still a small detail, but the real problem lies in a common aspect of One Piece fanfics: with the original manga still unfinished, how will the author handle the sequel? The author tries to synchronize the publication of the chapters of his novel with the rhythm of One Piece's release in real life, which allows him to maintain a certain margin of maneuver. However, this unfortunately resulted in a loss of the original value of the novel. The problem comes neither from the writing nor from the author's imagination, but rather from the initial concept of the novel, which has gradually become diluted. The author found solutions by creating a sort of world game etc. However this led to the story being lengthened considerably, and another downside to this problem is that the chapters are very short, which can become frustrating when trying to keep up with the pace of publication. For me the story is slowly dying, but it was an enjoyable read

This novel gives off a similar vibe to Journey Towards Greatness, in that once the MC establishes himself, he becomes overpowered and nearly invincible. The key difference is that while Journey Towards Greatness relies heavily on raw power and overtrained Pokémon, here the MC’s strategy also plays a significant role. I really enjoy this strategic aspect, which clearly draws inspiration from the competitive nature of Pokémon games. Unlike in Journey Towards Greatness, the MC doesn’t necessarily capture his Pokémon himself (he’s extremely rich), but this isn’t an issue because the author has made it logically consistent within the story. Now, for a few minor drawbacks (which are, of course, subjective). The MC quickly makes his Pokémon extremely powerful by utilizing the Pokémon game mechanics through a system (a classic trope, but one that’s still popular). This approach accelerates the story, allowing for high-level battles to unfold quickly, but it also shortens the potential lifespan of the work. Once the MC becomes invincible, it raises the question of whether there’s still a story to tell. In conclusion, it’s an interesting read—entertaining, though not particularly deep. If the author manages the pacing well, perhaps the novel could be stretched out a bit longer. However, I’m not sure it can reach 500-1000 chapters without sacrificing quality.

The novel is quite engaging, and I'm currently on chapter 162. The plot is solid, though at this stage, Dugu Yan seems to be the only romantic interest, but it’s clear that the author is setting up a harem dynamic. One thing that stands out, though it's still early to make a big deal of it, is that the main character (MC) is only 12 years old, yet already has an impressive soul level and combat power that far exceed his age. There's no interaction with Tang San so far, but the MC and the author seem to look down on him, with the author even labeling him a hypocrite. It appears the MC is considering creating his own sect or faction, possibly similar to the Tang Sect, to see where that leads.
