The tension in the dining hall is thick enough to cut with a knife. I felt so bad for Gu Yanzhi for a second, all that eagerness to see her, fixing his sleeves. But then Shen Weiyang just shuts him down completely. The way she coldly pushes the brocade box away, claiming she 'never liked such gaudy items,' is devastating. She's not just rejecting the gift; she's rejecting the entire three years of neglect and misunderstanding that the gift represents. The ship hasn't just sailed; it's been sunk for a long, long time.
The system reveal feels natural for the genre. “God-tier Medicine System” implies the drugs are literally divine. The hubris of these patients trusting a mortal corporation over a divine cure is going to bite them hard. The classic webnovel trope but executed with good emotional stakes.
If I had one complaint, it's that the prose sometimes feels a bit robotic in some descriptions. Like "the ground under his feet was shaking" repeated a few times. Not a huge deal, but some variety would make it flow better. Still, the action and pacing make up for it. I'm more invested in the story than the style at this point.
20. But the part where she downloads medical data and rents X-ray machines felt like overkill. Is she planning to start a hospital in the 60s? It’s ambitious but also kind of unrealistic even for a space story.
