Well I recommend The Legendary Mechanic. It's also a game novel, the mc entered the game and time travelled. Pretty great my top rec on this game genre.
Then there's Supremacy Games, Overgeared, reincarnation of the strongest sword god(closest probably to this novel, but shtty quality). Pretty much all the popular ones. Though I mostly rec TLM.

'Hidden Marriage' rip-off nonsense where every would-be story arc happens in one chapter. Who cares if the original is completed? How hard is it to slap tropes on a page, and I mean a SINGLE page? If we're lucky, a whole story arc lasts almost 2 pages.

This is your typical Green Tea Bish stepmother and her White Lotus daughter plotting against the FL. Her fiance and father fall for it because men in these books have to be dumb as rocks or so OCD that they're 30 and have never touched a woman. After the set up in which the FL is - wait for it- DRUGGED, she packs her belongings into a suitcase and heads to the Civil Registration office to get married on 5/20 because all ***** women hit 18 and plan to marry any old male rag,  bone, and hank of hair so long as it's on 5/20 or Valentine's Day.

Jesus take me now. This book is so moronic. I'm  tired of even typing this review.

Our dashing ML CEO/billionaire is there to register a marriage with a wise woman who fails to show up. What's a scumbag billionaire to do? I know! How about marrying a clearly drugged 18 year old and having *** twice with said unconscious 18 year old child bride in a Bentley, with a driver in the front seat, while in a traffic jam?

This is lazy arse writing at it's  worst.

FL wakes up,  slips her dirty butt out of the car while he's  outside the car looking for a way out of the traffic jam because I guess he respects his driver too much to let the driver worry about the driving aspects of driving. Too bad he doesn't show the same decency when it comes to marrying and publicly shagging drugged 18 year olds looking to get married to anybody on the most romantic day of the year.

Please don't  be on this planet, reading this nonsense and driving and voting and having kids. If you're  reading this, you lack judgement and shouldn't be  doing any driving, voting, or breeding.

We're  on Chapter 8 or 9 now. After the FL left the ML's car backseat/honeymoon suite, she went to the airport, flew  to the US, found out she was 4 months pregnant, and it was too late to get an abortion so she didn't. One kid dies at birth and the one that lives is a hideous know-it-all, a snarky CEO trapped in a 4 year old's body because we have to have these sarcastic little monsters that make you drop the book, otherwise the author would actually have to come up with a plot and develop ***** characters who DON'T have to talk through a smarty pants kid.

Seriously, embroider your mask, create drama on social media, snip holes in the socks of the family member you're  most tired of quarantining  with, learn a language, or teach your cat to bark. Do any of these things - or none of these things -  but don't  waste your life on this book.

Translator? Epic.
Author ? Lazy AF.

It's a well written novel with a likable protagonist, a clear goal, nicely written side characters (I wanna say well written, but most of the important ones are in barely 10 chapters) and a nice ending. Overall, it's greatest flaw is how short it is and, for me personally, that the set-up romance never happens, tho I guess that itself also fits nicely in the story. Second biggest flaw is that the protagonist is the classic Novel child character - way smarter than any child her age should be... Tho that isn't really a problem. And the part that icked me the most during my read was the reveal of the truth, which was a minor disturbance in my read. It's also written in fppov. Overall, the flaws sound overwhelming, but most of them are not really distribing the experience. Hope you'll enjoy it. It's no Shadow Slave or Lord of Mysteries, but it's a nice story to read when you have some free time

THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS.

Nothing major just about how the mc acts and some reasons explaining the points of why I am wanting to drop. (Hopefully the author can clear some of it up?)

The two major problems for me that stand out above everything else, that is making me want to drop are, When does he stop becoming a slave to his "uncle"? I just cbf to waste any more time on this if doesn't stop soon. I mean he should already have his doubts about him already.

From all his supposed intelligence the mc was shown to have during the earlier chapters, it's baffling how he doesn't have some doubts. His town was supposedly killed by beasts but he is magically the only one still alive? He doesn't remember anything but when he does or tries to it is painful?

He should have had his doubts in his "uncle" considering these facts but still believe in him considering all the time they spent together. However, it should have become frighteningly clear that something is wrong after speaking to Lan.

Let's not forget what he called the uncle and even hinted at why. But the most important thing is he learnt about the soul/mental technique. He can make someone kill themselves, take their memories etc. This should have made it glaringly obvious and confirmed his doubts about something about his uncle is wrong. He should know that if he can do it, what is stopping an even stronger person doing it to him? Or is he so fcking arrogant to ignore this?

He should have realised that his supposed memory loss is because of a soul/mental technique. Then adding on all the other clues he has been given then he should rly be starting to doubt his "uncle" and start realising some of the truth...

However, it's like let's just ignore all that and keep the mc as a dog/slave/pet of the uncle. Make the mc seeth with rage everyone says something to discredit his master and be a good little pet and make him proud...

I honestly can't stand it and rly want the author to just get on with it. The whole memory, adding on with all these clues should have acc lead to something.

Another thing is the whole rage thing... I liked his other personality better. Where he didn't care about what others thought. Ignored them and only went after people who are directly after him. Now lately it's just been the mc acting like a fcking madman for no reason.

I'm guessing it's because of the scripture or his special body that is giving him the rage. It was mentioned it was half the rage and the other half was him the calm side so maybe he has a beast side?

However, how long does this last, when or does he reach a balance? I don't want to read about a psychopath madman that just wants to kill everything... compared to his first personality its a difference between night and day.

I dunno just cbf to read about an mc losing control constantly going on a rampage every time he fights... plus it always starts or ends with the mc always smiling EVERY SINGLE TIME. Like we get it he is crazy. Do you have to mention the smile that everyone notices but him every time he fights or about to battle??

But yeah, prefer the mc having some intelligence like it was made out he had but in reality, he doesn't...

Yeah, anyway gl to Author

HONESTLY WOW. not a lot of times you get adaptations from African culture and mythology in this platform especially, curiosity lead me into opening the book, and the tools irl have been beautifully utilised by Sam, wish this were a book, pretty darn different concept, but you gotta read it carefully and find time because THE DETAILS MATTER the author hints it (or maybe I'm trynna analyse too implicit details lol)

I have read the first 30 chapter and can say that it has good writing quality and stability of updates.

The story development and character design isn't really for me. While it is decent, I find it rather too generic (good guy trope) and I found his reincarnation rather useless, maybe there will be a reason for that later but for now, all I see is a somewhat obedient little boy in the MC.

He had merged with the previous soul, yet there is no fear, or worry, or even acknowledgement that he was killed. Where is the caution, he goes around worrying about his mother, yet why is that? He just came into this world and the memories doesn't seem to affect him, can you generate affection quickly for someone this quickly? If he does have memory of his life as prince then why is there no fear or even a thought about his murder. What is the reason that he wants to get strong?  Is it revenge, to protect his loved ones, I still have not found a reason for him or the story. I see no tension or reason to follow the story, his sister seems far more interesting.

Usually the environment of fighting for thrones make the characters mature, yet the MC seems to lack that.

While the story seems to check most boxes I really did not get an interest in following the MC's story. His origin not really that interesting, his circumstance he seem to not care, his cheat and bloodline a bit generic. I expected more then this from Invincible Corruption Manual.
