The Rise of a Family: Starting as a Grandpa Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on The Rise of a Family: Starting as a Grandpa
"The Rise of a Family: Starting as a Grandpa" definitely grabbed my attention with its unique premise. A cultivation novel where the protagonist starts as a grandpa? I was intrigued! After diving in, I can see why it has a dedicated following, even if it's not a perfect gem.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are a whirlwind. We're thrown into a world steeped in ancient Chinese culture, with martial arts and cultivation at its core. The grandpa protagonist, thrust into this new reality, has to navigate complex family relationships, build a clan, and generally not get killed. It's a lot to take in, but the author does a decent job of setting the stage.
What Works Well
The pacing is a major draw. The author seems to have a knack for keeping the story moving forward at a clip that keeps you engaged. Certain plot threads are laid out early and pay off much later, which is satisfying. There's a real sense of progression, and I found myself wanting to know what happens next. The familial love aspect is also well-executed. Seeing the grandpa interact with his adopted children and build those bonds is genuinely heartwarming. The found family trope is strong here, and it's one of the novel's biggest strengths.
Areas of Concern
While the progression is good, the focus on martial arts training feels a little lacking. Given the genre, I expected it to be more of a priority, but it often takes a backseat to other plot elements. I also had some trouble connecting with the main character's views on his "new" family. His reluctance to fully accept the children of the previous owner felt a bit jarring. I can understand the internal conflict, but it was a consistent point of friction for me.
