He understands that love is not great to this point. If you really become like that, Zhi Li’s first reaction is absolutely to send himself to the Scientific Research Institution.

## My Thoughts on He is His Excellency Zhi Li "He is His Excellency Zhi Li" had me intrigued from the start with its blend of comedy, romance, and school life. I dove in expecting a lighthearted read, and for the most part, that's what I got, although it definitely threw some curveballs my way. ### First Impressions The initial chapters were a blast. The banter between the main characters, Zhi Li and Ke Bu, is genuinely hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud at their quick-witted exchanges and the overall absurdity of the situations they get into. The premise of a cynical MC surrounded by a group of eccentric friends in a modern university setting felt fresh and promising. ### What Works Well The character dynamics are definitely a strong point. Zhi Li, despite his seemingly apathetic nature, has a hidden positive side that shines through his actions. I appreciated how the author crafted him and Ke Bu as two-faced, yet honest with each other, creating a unique and engaging relationship. The supporting cast is also well-developed, each with their own quirky personalities that add to the overall comedic charm. I particularly enjoyed the over-the-top reactions to everyday events. It really amplified the humor and made for a fun, easy read. The translation also deserves praise for making the idioms understandable and accessible. ### Areas of Concern As the story progressed, I started to notice some inconsistencies. The plot flow felt disjointed at times, jumping abruptly between lighthearted comedy and more serious drama. These tonal shifts sometimes felt jarring and out of place. The dramatic moments, especially those involving Ke Bu's supposed dependence on Zhi Li, occasionally felt exaggerated and unearned. I also struggled with Zhi Li's seemingly indifferent attitude towards Ke Bu, especially in the earlier parts of their relationship. It made it difficult to understand Ke Bu's attraction to him. ### Final Verdict Despite its flaws, "He is His Excellency Zhi Li" offers an enjoyable and entertaining reading experience. The comedic banter, quirky characters, and unexpected plot twists kept me engaged, even when the plot felt a little disjointed. If you're looking for a lighthearted, modern-day romance with a touch of absurdity, this novel is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared for some tonal shifts and plot inconsistencies along the way. Overall, I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
