Restarting After Deleting My Account Novel Review

Lin Zhusheng, an ordinary yet hardcore and heavy-spending player of the game Floating Life, finds himself in an unexpected situation. Floating Life is a massive open-world cultivation MMORPG, where players start as lowly sect disciples and work their way up through hard work and favorability grinding. With a high degree of freedom, one can go from a mere janitor to the number one beauty, forming bonds and even choosing a Dao companion. The game is marketed for its deep immersion. After six months of relentless grinding, Lin Zhusheng maxes out his level and achieves an official title, gaining full favorability with every notable NPC in the game. With nothing left to do, he decides to start over with a new character. But when he closes and opens his eyes again, he realizes— He has fully transmigrated into the game. Body and all. ⸻ What Happens Next? Faced with the choice between slacking off or grinding, the experienced gamer chooses the only logical path: Max out favorability. Soon, the disciples and elders of the Tian Sect notice a strange new disciple among them: He always wears every piece of clothing he owns in odd layers. His tiny storage pouch can somehow fit an entire beast carcass, yet he constantly complains about lack of inventory space. He experiences sudden bouts of poverty, during which he lets out anguished cries of “I’m never drawing gacha again!” Despite always being busy, he somehow finds time to hand out small gifts to everyone—a flower, a shiny stone, or a snack. Though no one understands his logic, their favorability toward him increases daily. ⸻ NPC Perspectives: You are a proud young master from a prestigious family, locked in a rivalry with your sworn enemy. As you prepare to defeat and mock them in a duel, they suddenly smile at you— …and hand you a small gift. Your face turns red. “I… I like it.” You are a trusted lieutenant of the Demon Lord, infiltrating Tian Sect for years. One day, your demonic aura is exposed, and just as you prepare to eliminate witnesses, a disciple suddenly— …hands you a demonic clan-exclusive pastry. You tearfully take a bite. “The demon flowers are blooming back home… Lord, I must take him with me.” You are the dignified Grand Elder, a man so strict that all disciples fear you. You do not indulge in earthly pleasures. Yet, a certain disciple persistently gifts you a peach-flavored pudding in the shape of a flower. One bite, and you tear up. “Without him, no one would ever treat me like a child again.” ⸻ Enter the Most Difficult Character to Romance—Tian Sect’s Eldest Senior Brother. The hardest NPC to win over in Floating Life, and the only one no player has ever successfully romanced. A true prodigy, admired by all. Even when framed and cast into disgrace, he remains unyielding like a sword, unwavering in his beliefs. Before his fall, he was showered with exquisite gifts from countless admirers. Among them, one junior disciple always rushed over in a hurry, only to drop a single flower at his doorstep before dashing off again. He never cared for such gestures. He never accepted a single one. But when he was imprisoned in the cold, desolate Heavenly Abyss, forgotten by all— That same junior disciple arrived again. Despite the icy winds and treacherous cliffs, he stubbornly made his way to the frozen prison, his nose red from the cold, smiling as he offered a wilted blue flower, now frozen stiff from the journey. For the first time, the unshakable Senior Brother took the gift.
