MC Personality/Character: A dull personality or lack of one. His principal or his profession is a teacher/professor; willing to teacher anyone willing to learn and respect him as a teacher while ignoring those that don't. Willing to help and search for thing that will increase his student (those that deem as his student) regardless of the cost. MC is cheapskate/stingy person (due to not being wealthy) and will try to negotiate to get something expensive down to be dirt cheap or free, but of course this only apply to himself and not to his student. He will uses all his skill to bargain to get the best from something costly into something cheap or free for his student. He never stingy with his student, he only stingy with people who hold the item MC want for his student. He a person who too lazy to explain his action so often misunderstanding are created for the good and the bad. He treat student (regardless of gender or age) as student and never see them as love interest (if female).
MC Ideas, Creations, and/or Recreation from his previous life (Either make it himself or have someone else make it for him): None/Not Yet
Romance:
None. MC is both inexperience in this department and extremely dense. If any female hear what he think about a beauty with a big attitude, he would said they have women problem (period) or they showing off. Lucky he only say this in his mind or he be kill by them. Any chance of romance in the future? (self ask and self answer), the answer is unlikely. There were several female (non-student) character that interact with our MC (as he get stronger) before they give up the idea by stating "they not good enough to be with him" (note: only reader will hear this, our MC don't even know any of these as he is too dense and they not even at the starting line of such relationship, it usually co-worker or "more then a stranger but less then a friend").
My Comments/Reviews/Spoilers: The start of the web novel have our MC soul wake up in another person body which recently die by drowning. The body which the MC took over is best to say the "worse teacher" in school; in another word "an incompetent teacher" that border line about to be fire. It the start of school year and MC must acquire student or else he be fire. While don't know what going on and how he got to this world, he muddy through it by lying to the 1st student who seem weak and unlucky to ask MC direction before he pull her in and sign her up for his class. This is when he woke up his "cheat" power of library in his mind/brain and here where the story take off.
Here how the story so far (Web Novel):
- MC in another world in the body of the "worse teacher" in school. In this part, MC will acquire students and get rid of his bad reputation. Lot of misunderstanding and self-interpretation during the time when MC expose some of his strength and why his reputation is so bad.
- Even after he got rid of his bad reputation, the best teacher in school challenge his student to a duel between their student to prove their teaching worth. MC went around disguise as someone else and acquire resource as payment while resolve expert problem so he can use these resource for his student. End result, MC student won and MC and this teacher talk it out. MC leave school with his students for better things (careers, knowledge, resources, and etc...).
- To get a higher career as a teacher he travel to take the test for it, which he did and did in record time. Of courses before he got there he have a little adventurer in some other city/town and acquire more knowledge related to himself.
- After passing the test and become a 1 star teacher, he jump right in for the 2 star teacher test. For the 2 star test, he must disguise himself under a fake name and teach at a certain school. And with a certain time limited (10 days), he and the test taker teacher must have student that recognize them as a teacher. In the end, MC become a 2 star teacher but not without some issue with his old student and new student going at each other while he under disguise.
- While traveling with his student, One of his student took one for MC (protect his life with his) and now in a coma. Anger, MC seek revenge and kill that bastard (a prince) and crush a kingdom at the same time. After he crush that bastard, he put his friend (a princess from another kingdom) as the new rule. Afterward, MC seek a way to wake up his student.
- Arrive to the capitol (for the teacher union) to A.) seek knowledge to wake up his student. (which he did). B.) fulfilling a promise to enter a teacher tournament for young teacher under the age 30.
- MC going through the teacher tournament.
Early Predication: I don't expect much for the ending since most comment on Chinese web novel ending stated that they aren't that great and/or that it become boring near the end.
--------------------------------------------------
Like any "transport to another world" novel, the MC usually will have a certain cheat that get him or her ahead of other in the long run.
For this novel our MC have one "cheat" that I can think of that is on the level of "cheat". The "cheat" that MC has in this novel is that he has a mysterious "library" or you can call it super computer archive that he awaken or something like that because it just pop out of nowhere in his brain. What this "library" can do is see the flaw/problem of any living thing and list them. To see these flaws/problems either MC must see them perform a moves/skills or MC must physically touch them to exam them. It may stated the flaws/problem but not necessary the solution which point out the other ability of this library. The other function of this "library" is that it can copy any and all text books read by MC and can self-edit any flaw within these and fix these flaw and even create a new text book out of these text with better solution. Meaning the more book MC read, the more likely he have a better answer to a certain solution. For an example if he never read the book of that subject, even if he know the flaw/problem he may not able to solve the problem until he read the book about that subject. That what he usually do anyway.
This novel is not written in a typical wuxia/xianxia manner. It written as I see it as something like an Asian TV series that revolve around the teachers and students at a certain school in some modern setting. Of course it not like that but you get what I mean if you read this. The MC is not a fighter who go around getting stronger and fighting people who he dislike. Our MC is teacher who go around defeating people when challenged with his knowledge and rarely will he need to actually physically fight them expect on occasion. No he not using cunning (street smart) like other MC wuxia/xianxia character, he using book smart. Every action MC take in this novel is related to his student which take priority over his own priority (strength). MC priority beside gaining new knowledge are the following: His student, Himself, and Promises MC made.
Yes, MC also uses disguise in this novel like any other normal wuxia/xianxia MC. MC acquire several career/sub career through out the novel (MC personal reason: because they give cheaper price for their service for membership)
Overall it an ok read.
O want to know, is there any explanations of him having the library of Heavens path? Any reason? As Well as any reason for him to transcend?
ReplyDeleteno. And most of the time in Chinese Wuxia/Xianxia genre story never explain to the read as if it normal.
