*** SPOILER-FREE ***
After reading all the 9 chapters available, my first impression of this manhua are as follows:
PROS
- The art is good, but I noticed some inconsistencies when it comes to expressions/faces and bionic parts;
- The MC is credible, smart, and calculating, something relatively rare these days;
- The length of the chapters is longer than the average (in comparison to manhua standards);
- The plot to be located in a space scenario can be either a pro or a con, depending on your taste, but I see this as a welcome change from the fantasy games paradigm.
CONS
- The inconsistency in the art can sometimes be annoying. I feel like they spend more time drawing butts than faces, but who can blame the artist for that?
- The excess of fanservice can bother people who would argue that these panels could be better used to further develop the story.
OVERVIEW
There is nothing extraordinary about this story and this is not necessarily a bad thing, because whatever it sets out to do, it does well. The plot of being stuck in a game is not new, nor unusual, however, the world building and the characters – so far – make this adventure believe and enjoyable.
The pacing of the story may seem a little slow at times, but for me it is very close to the ideal, and even tho we are exposed to an excessive amount of fanservice, these panels don't seem to detract from the central point, so I don't see them as having a negative impact on development.
Throughout the reading, I realized that many novel readers complained about the adaptation, and as much as this is a normal thing, after all, no adaptation will be the same as the original story (that's why it is called adaptation), in this work the complaints were too excessive, so if you are a novel reader, be aware.
Overall, I had a very positive first impression of this manhua. If the length of the chapters doesn't shrink over time (something you often see with manhuas), and the quality of the story remains the same, or gets better, it is definitely a work to keep an eye on.
