## My Thoughts on Figure Skating: I Use the System to Become an Olympic Champion Figure skating and system novels? It's definitely a combination I haven't seen before, so I went into "Figure Skating: I Use the System to Become an Olympic Champion" with a healthy dose of curiosity and a pinch of skepticism. The premise is certainly unique: a protagonist armed with a system, aiming to dominate the world of figure skating after some form of transmigration or time travel. ### First Impressions The initial chapters grabbed my attention, painting a picture of a determined protagonist facing seemingly insurmountable odds. The system integration felt relatively smooth, and I was eager to see how the author would navigate the intricacies of a sport as demanding as figure skating. I was definitely rooting for the underdog! ### What Works Well The protagonist's drive and ambition are undeniably compelling. Watching him push himself, even with the aid of the system, is engaging. I also appreciate the author's attempt to delve into the technical aspects of figure skating. The descriptions of the various jumps and routines, while perhaps not perfectly accurate to a seasoned skater, add a layer of authenticity to the story. The romantic elements, even with the "yaoi" tag, didn't feel forced, and I found myself invested in the protagonist's relationships. ### Areas of Concern However, I did find myself stumbling on some of the plausibility aspects. The idea of starting figure skating relatively late and achieving Olympic-level success, even with a system, strains credibility. There are moments where the protagonist's rapid progress feels a bit too convenient, glossing over the years of grueling training and dedication typically required in the sport. For readers with a deep understanding of figure skating, this might be a significant hurdle to overcome. ### Final Verdict "Figure Skating: I Use the System to Become an Olympic Champion" is a fun and engaging read, especially if you're willing to suspend your disbelief. While the rapid progression and some technical details might not sit well with die-hard figure skating enthusiasts, the compelling protagonist, intriguing system mechanics, and developing relationships kept me entertained. It’s a novel that prioritizes wish fulfillment and entertainment over strict realism, and if you approach it with that mindset, you'll likely enjoy the ride.
