What a great story… I love that they actually became a family in the end, that Chen Jing gets to be a normal kid with normal successes to celebrate and at least one parent taking care of him. I feel like this author did a really good job of genuinely making being “ordinary” feel both like a goal to be accomplished and a legitimately impressive and fulfilling ending to have reached. Back in the game, how many of them hoped to escape and no long be wracked with night terrors? Would Chen Jing, who experienced so much as a child, really feel it was possible after returning to find a world that decided it was reasonable and justified to abandon so many children? Having an ordinary life must have felt impossible to all these characters that got dragged into a nightmare for so long, but they got there in the end
This is probably one of the best deconstructions of the “teenage protagonist” plotlines I’ve ever seen, where it feels within the realm of possibility that some kids would do this when the government wouldn’t as well as that they survived their forays into a really serious situation. Having an OP guardian that made it his job to prevent anything beyond the kids’ weight class from appearing in front of them felt reasonable, and Jiang Yujin’s sort of sloppy work on the more everyday side of parenting exactly matched the “oblivious but well-meaning” trope that so many stories employ. Is he a good guardian? Hard to say, but to some extent he put genuine thought and effort into being the guardian Chen Jing needed at the time. And then he recruited a far more handy stepfather once it was appropriate ahaha. But the kids’ actions still felt useful and important, the government’s support proportional and decently well-meaning, the kids’ families worth fighting for and/or sincere in their care and affection despite how much they got up to seemingly without garnering notice. I imagine it helped them transition, to be able to make use of the independence they cultivated in the Game as well as materially contribute to ending their dangerous situation. A remarkably believable development on all sides
Jiang Yujin and Xu Tonggui’s relationship is both believable and cute, which I’d say not many stories of this genre pull off—the characters being realistically similar in capability despite their very different circumstances, the way they became the people they are and how they fit together as a couple, the amnesia and how it factored into their decision-making, somehow all of it fit together really well. I’m glad they made it in the end, especially with a kid involved that isn’t even that much younger than them. I’m honestly impressed it worked out so well, it certainly wasn’t the kind of emotional storyline that felt easy to predict, and I had a lot of fun along the way
Thank you so much for translating! <3
