## My Thoughts on I Found A Planet "I Found A Planet" had a premise that immediately grabbed my attention: a NEET engineer discovering a technologically advanced, post-apocalyptic world and leveraging its resources to change Earth. The concept felt fresh, promising a blend of sci-fi, business management, and perhaps even a bit of political intrigue. Unfortunately, my experience, and the experiences of many readers, seem to have taken a nosedive along the way. ### First Impressions Initially, I was hooked. The MC's transformation from a shut-in to a resourceful entrepreneur was engaging. Watching him navigate the challenges of bringing advanced tech back to Earth, establishing businesses, and dealing with the implications felt like a unique twist on the "found a portal" trope. The early chapters held the promise of a compelling story. ### What Works Well The initial focus on tech, business, and Earth's reactions to the influx of advanced technology was a strong point. The idea of a protagonist cautiously building his wealth and influence, rather than immediately seeking power or conflict, was refreshing. Some readers appreciated the focus on Earth's development and the MC's rise from poverty to wealth. ### Areas of Concern Sadly, as I delved deeper, significant issues began to surface. A recurring complaint centered around the MC's character. He's portrayed as increasingly xenophobic and nationalistic, with a disturbing sense of superiority. This aspect, coupled with a poorly executed harem subplot, left a bad taste in my mouth. The slow plot progression and the shift towards xianxia elements further detracted from the initial appeal. The numerical inconsistencies and excessive tech jargon also bogged down the reading experience. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several reviewers highlighted major plot points that significantly impacted their enjoyment. The introduction of mind control devices, the shift to a tournament-style war with alien cultivators, and the eventual "invincibility" of the MC, leading to an abrupt and unsatisfying ending, were major turnoffs. The author's handling of sensitive topics, such as cultural biases and geopolitical conflicts, also drew heavy criticism. ### Final Verdict While "I Found A Planet" starts with an intriguing premise, it ultimately falls short due to its problematic characterizations, inconsistent plot development, and heavy-handed nationalism. The shift in genre, coupled with a rushed and unsatisfying conclusion, makes it difficult for me to recommend this novel. It's a shame, because the initial concept held so much potential.
