Description
She was once one of Earth’s top engineers—sharp, cool-headed, a woman of schematics and precision. But fate has its own twisted sense of humor. When Wei San woke up in a tr*sh heap on a remote, forgotten planet somewhere in the galactic backwaters, she realized she’d crossed time and space… only to land in the body of a dropout with nothing but a malnourished body and a nose for salvaged junk. Thrown from Earth’s engineering labs into the dirt of a nameless alien star, Wei San doesn’t crumble. She rises. Because the tuition was cheap and she was broke, Wei San ended up signing up for the wrong program. She didn’t become a mech builder. She became a mech soldier. The kind that gets thrown into live-fire drills and survives off sheer bloodlust and pain tolerance. The kind of profession where “close combat” means face-to-fist and “training” means voluntary trauma. Though she stumbled into the blood-soaked path of a mech soldier instead of building the machines herself, she refuses to be limited by labels. She trains, she adapts, and she learns to kill with as much finesse as she once designed engines. Through perseverance, wit, and a hefty dose of don’t-f*ck-with-me energy, she blazes a dual path—as both soldier and engineer—toward a future carved with her own two hands. One-line summary: Poverty made me powerful. Core theme: How to grind your way to top-tier single-soldier with nothing but pain, precision, and petty spite. She’s pure steel wrapped in sarcasm and stubborn ambition. A must-read for anyone who likes their heroines relentless, clever, and just a little bit deadly.]

Smash All Pots and Pans To Go to School Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on Smash All Pots and Pans To Go to School
"Smash All Pots and Pans To Go to School" certainly has a memorable title, and after diving in, I can see why it’s garnered such a dedicated following. This novel blends action, adventure, comedy, mecha, romance, and school life in a way that, while ambitious, mostly works. It's a wild ride with a strong female lead at the helm, and I found myself surprisingly invested in her journey.
First Impressions
Initially, I was a bit thrown off by the title and synopsis. It gave me the impression of a slice-of-life story focused on poverty and school struggles. While those elements are present, the core of the story revolves around a large tournament arc set within a prestigious military academy. Our MC, Wei San, is a transmigrated genius from the past who is trying to make it in a futuristic world, and her fish-out-of-water experience is both humorous and compelling.
What Works Well
What truly makes this novel shine is its characters, particularly Wei San. Despite some "Mary Sue" tendencies, her personality is incredibly engaging. She's cheeky, shameless, and driven by her love for engineering and her desire to make money. I enjoyed her interactions with her friends, and I especially appreciated the refreshing gender equality within the story's world. Female soldiers are respected, and Wei San's gender isn't a point of contention or a plot device, which is a welcome change from many similar novels. Many readers will enjoy the slow-burn romance, and the close-knit friendships between the main characters. The plot is detailed and immersive, and the author has created a world that is both exciting and thought-provoking.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the novel overall, there are some areas that could be improved. Some felt that the ending was rushed and abrupt, leaving them wanting more closure. The translation quality has also been called into question, with some finding it difficult to read or inconsistent. Some readers may also be put off by the male lead's actions early in the story, which might be difficult to reconcile with his later character development. Some may also feel that the MC is a bit too nonchalant about her circumstances.

Final Verdict
Despite some minor flaws, "Smash All Pots and Pans To Go to School" is a worthwhile read, especially if you're looking for a novel with a strong female lead, engaging friendships, and a unique blend of genres. While the translation may be a bit rough around the edges, the story's strengths more than make up for it. I'd recommend giving it a try, but be prepared for a long and winding journey filled with mecha battles, political intrigue, and plenty of laughs.
