## My Thoughts on God of Fishing "God of Fishing" is a web novel that definitely took me on a journey. It's a blend of familiar xuanhuan tropes with a unique twist, and while it hooked me initially, there were some snags along the way. The early chapters promised something special, but the later developments left me feeling a bit conflicted. ### First Impressions The premise is undeniably intriguing. A modern-day soul transmigrates into a world where fishing is cultivation? I was sold! The initial world-building, with its tribal societies and the concept of "fishing" for power, felt fresh and exciting. The MC's cheat, a heavenly treasure that acts like a pseudo-system, added another layer of intrigue. I was definitely looking forward to seeing how this world would unfold. ### What Works Well The world-building is probably the strongest aspect. The author has crafted a unique setting with floating islands, vast oceans teeming with dangerous creatures, and a well-defined power system. The sense of adventure, especially when the MC is exploring solo, is palpable. I particularly enjoyed the treasure hunting aspects and the mysteries surrounding the world and the MC's artifact. Many readers have praised the plot for being interesting and the author for knowing how to build hype. I also appreciated the MC's initial personality – his shamelessness and ruthlessness made him a compelling character, especially in a dog-eat-dog world. ### Areas of Concern Unfortunately, the novel seems to falter after the MC leaves the starting village and enters the town. Several readers, including myself, noticed a dip in quality around chapter 150. The story seems to take inspiration, or perhaps too much inspiration, from other popular novels. The introduction of a team of prodigies at the academy also felt somewhat forced, and the MC's relationships with them didn't always ring true. Some readers found the romance to be poorly executed, and the MC's sudden personality shifts were jarring. I also noticed that the author seems to nerf the main character just to justify how strong the characters in town are. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have pointed out that the MC's romance takes a strange turn, as he initially states he isn't interested in younger girls but then becomes involved with a much younger teammate. There are also concerns about the MC's loyalty to his girlfriend's clan, even when they are enemies of humanity. ### Final Verdict "God of Fishing" is a mixed bag. The unique world-building and exciting early chapters are definitely worth checking out, but be prepared for some potential pitfalls later on. If you enjoy xuanhuan novels with a focus on adventure and don't mind some familiar tropes, you might find this novel enjoyable. However, if you're looking for originality and well-developed relationships, you might be disappointed. I'd recommend giving it a try, but be aware that the quality can be inconsistent.
