My Thoughts on President Shen always Top Up Money

Alright, let's dive into "President Shen always Top Up Money"! I went in with moderately high expectations, and I came out… mostly satisfied. It's a fun read, especially if you're looking for something in the infinite flow genre with a healthy dose of shounen ai.

First Impressions

The initial premise is intriguing. Our MC, Wu Fei, wakes up from a three-year coma to a drastically changed world. Strapped for cash, he enters the "Final Plan" competition, a holographic game with high stakes and even higher rewards. He ends up drawing Shen Xing, a seemingly weak CEO-turned-black-kitten, as his contractor. The whole setup is quite fresh. I found myself immediately invested in their journey.

What Works Well

The dynamic between Wu Fei and Shen Xing is definitely a highlight. The romance is cute and develops nicely throughout the story. I also appreciate the unique take on the infinite flow genre. Instead of just focusing on the MC's upgrades, the story emphasizes the ML's development, making him a more integral part of the narrative. The various game modes and instances are interesting enough to keep me engaged. While some arcs are stronger than others, the overall plot surrounding the "Final Plan" and its origins is compelling and keeps you guessing. The futuristic setting adds another layer of intrigue.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the novel, I did find some aspects a bit repetitive. The "MC tries to save money, fails, draws an OP card, ML saves the day" formula gets a little predictable after a while. This can make the middle sections of some arcs feel less impactful.

⚠️ Spoiler Warning

I understand that the MC is overly lucky and the ML is overpowered. It's also worth noting that while the relationship is definitely shounen ai, don't expect any explicit content. Also, even though the MC has been known to show OP-ness, they have been defeated once and lost the game (though not eliminated).

Final Verdict

Overall, I'd recommend "President Shen always Top Up Money" if you're a fan of infinite flow, futuristic settings, and cute romances. While it has its flaws, the unique premise and engaging characters make it a worthwhile read. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It's not a perfect masterpiece, but it's definitely a fun and entertaining ride.

Synopsis

2 vs 2 in the Red Desert arena, Yuan San Pang shouted at his teammate next to him, “Wu Fei, we both will die if you still don’t let your husband out!” Wu Fei shouted back in a panic, ”Don’t talk nonsense, okay? Besides, it’s not me who won’t let him out but it’s him who won’t come out!” With a loud bang sound from the burst of fire, the three thousand year old turtle in front of them was seriously injured and forced to withdraw. The planner on the other side has aimed his skill towards both of them. Wu Fei already prepared to close his eyes and wait for death. The huge sound of flapping wings came closer and he heard a short cry from San Pang next to him. Wu Fei opened his eyes and a pure black feather fell on his hand — The tall and handsome fallen angel covered him as he stood in the sky against the light. San Pang almost cried out, “Shen Xing you have finally come out, as long as this San Pang doesn’t die tonight I will definitely offer Wu Fei with both hands!” **** Young game designer Wu Fei was in a car accident and went into coma for three years in the hospital. Three years later, he woke up and found out that his family has a huge debt of ten millions, and the whole earth undergoing big changes, turning his life upside down. In order to repay his debt, Wu Fei took part in the “Final Plan”, the only remnant handed down by the legendary level 5 planet civilization. It turned out … the legendary “Final Plan” is simply a large scale card drawing game! ****** Guess what I’ll draw out this time?
