For light reading. This is incredibly funny and engaging. Action and humor with great characters. 

Imagine isekai but with angmoh twists, culture and humor.

Piaotia sometimes have mixed up chapters etc. 

I prefer hetushu at least for this series. 

Yeah need to read from 1st series for context. 

Series 2 is damn long. I've been reading for months on and off.

A re-print after the author passed on.

Brought back a lot of memories of simpler times, without mobile phones and social media.

Certainly brings back memories of ownself JC days in roughly the same era as the book was written.

Kids these days won't be able to relate to the world described in this book.

Passing written notes around, using pay phones, and eagerly waiting for the next chem lecture and always choosing a strategic seat for the best view of the beauty in the other class

No international rojak in the student body and school, except maybe the odd ang moh. Simple, straightforward, traditional names, instead of today's wannabe trendy tongue twisters.

A simple life but a happier life back in those days, how I miss them.

Yup it's the classic 修炼 type of series. 

[Butakim]

Think there is a TV series for this.

Yup. 2 seasons of the 1st story so far.

But I don't like watching drama. I watched a bit then stopped. M

There's a cgi animated series also. I dislike those even more lol.
