Description

Wu Qiao’s only dream was to become a soldier. Therefore, when filling in his dream schools, he only wrote down the military academy. However, he never expected that the results of the genetic scan after the physical examination showed that he was extremely unsuitable for this profession. The screen clearly read: Probability of death: 99.5% Probability of surrendering: 99.5% Probability of becoming a combat hero: 0.01%]The results are based on the statistics and analysis of countless soldiers’ genes in the past, thus it’s impossible anything will be incorrect. Wu Qiao’s data was too shocking to the world — he could be called the ultimate waste in history. Taking into account the terrifying, dragging and the chance of surrendering to the enemy, the military academy ultimately didn’t admit Wu Qiao. Even though very few people have been eliminated because of their genes in the past. Because he didn’t list down any other schools, he had nothing to do …there were almost no labor jobs in this era. His family thought, since he couldn’t work, it would be best to start a family first. So they secretly matched his genes– looking for a suitable partner based on his genes.

My Thoughts on Face Slapping the General

Alright, let's dive into "Face Slapping the General." Going in, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from the title, but I came out pleasantly surprised. It’s definitely more than just a fluffy romance, and that's a good thing!

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of a futuristic, military-focused story. I was immediately intrigued by the blend of action, comedy, and romance, even with the yaoi tag thrown in. It seemed like a unique combination, and I was curious to see how it would all come together.

What Works Well

What really stood out to me was the depth of the military and political elements. The author clearly put a lot of thought into the tactics and strategies, making the battles feel realistic and engaging. I appreciated that the main characters weren't overpowered; their failures felt genuine and contributed to their growth.

Speaking of growth, the MC's journey from naive idealism to maturity was particularly well done. And the romance, while not the central focus, was a heartwarming and mature element that added a lot to the story. It’s more of a slow-burn, deeply connected kind of love, which I personally found very touching. I also really enjoyed the world-building. The author kept the story moving at a good pace, without dragging things out unnecessarily. Also, the mecha Ya Jiu is so cute and is a unique character.

Areas of Concern

While the military and political aspects were a strong point, some might find the romance taking a backseat. If you're expecting a heavy focus on romantic development, you might be slightly disappointed. Also, if you're sensitive to military propaganda, that is something to be aware of going in.

While the romance might not be the main focus, it's a sweet and mature element that complements the rest of the story. If you're looking for a unique blend of action, sci-fi, and romance with a well-developed plot and characters, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try.
