Description
Zhang Sushang travelled through time. He became separated from his family by a hundred years, his body gained two layers of fat, his BMI seriously exceeded the standard, his health was worrying, he was cut off from his family here, and he lost his source of income, causing him to be on the verge of starvation! Picking up his pen in despair, Zhang Sushang could only hope to save his stomach with novels. Right, he also needed to lose weight — too much fat would lead to fatty liver and the three highs of metabolic syndrome: high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high levels of fat in the blood. If he wanted to see his family again, he had to make sure that he lived to see the next millennium! The Winter Olympic Games were still two or three years away. If his dad was here, with the excellent fitness of an astronaut and the skills of a figure skating champion, he would definitely be able to win an Olympic gold medal. As for himself, he had only trained until he was sixteen years old, when he had to retire due to developmental issues. His highest achievement was a mere triple axel, so he could only write novels to fill his stomach. Wait, could anyone jump a 3A right now? At this time, no Chinese person had ever appeared at the Olympics. If a miracle could happen early, even a salted fish would fight for it. And Zhang Sushang was no salted fish.

My Thoughts on A Transmigrated Figure Skater Becomes an Author
"A Transmigrated Figure Skater Becomes an Author" is quite the title, isn't it? It immediately piqued my interest, and after diving in, I found a story with both captivating elements and some noticeable drawbacks.
First Impressions
The premise is undeniably intriguing: a figure skater from our time travels back a century to the nascent days of the Winter Olympics. Initially, I was hooked. The idea of a modern athlete navigating the historical landscape of a developing sport seemed ripe with potential for both humor and heartwarming moments.
What Works Well
The author clearly has a knack for creating engaging characters and settings. Many readers, myself included, found the budding romance between the protagonist and Alexei genuinely sweet and charming. The descriptions of Russian culture and settings, particularly for those unfamiliar with the region, were immersive and vivid. Also, the protagonist's foray into writing detective novels adds an unexpected layer of intrigue that keeps me coming back for more.
Areas of Concern
However, I also encountered some issues that made me hesitate. The protagonist's seemingly effortless dominance in figure skating, given his advanced knowledge and training, felt a bit unsettling to me. The power imbalance created by his time-travel advantage felt a little unfair, diminishing the respect for the historical athletes he competes against. I also felt that the author's blatant highlighting of the protagonist's achievements in an info-dump style was a bit too heavy-handed; it would have been more impactful to show, rather than tell.

Final Verdict
Overall, "A Transmigrated Figure Skater Becomes an Author" is a mixed bag. While the romance, cultural immersion, and detective novel subplot offer compelling reasons to read, the protagonist's potentially unfair advantage in figure skating and the bittersweet ending may deter some. Whether you enjoy this novel may depend on your tolerance for time-travel tropes and your preference for either heartwarming or bittersweet narratives. I give it a tentative recommendation, urging readers to approach it with an open mind and awareness of its potential pitfalls.
