Unfortunately, despite several aspects I found enjoyable in this book, I'll have to settle on a 3-star rating for this book.
Let me break it down:
1) While it does have a great plot and a heartwarming tone, the climax of the story doesn't quite meet my expectations. It was just ok.
2) I know that the symbolism of the koi is bringing luck, but ML's luck felt too overpowered (like his life is full of luckiness), which made the story feel a bit repetitive and dull.
3) As much as I'm willing to suspend disbelief for the sake of the fantasy genre, the intelligence level of the mc's kids (Bao #1) felt somewhat unrealistic, even within the context of the story.
4) The reveal of the mc's secret was underwhelming. I was hoping for BAAAAM things
On the bright side, the book shines in creating a cozy and heartwarming atmosphere. It provides plenty of humor and features well-rounded characters that add depth to the narrative. It's a comfortable read that doesn't throw too many emotional curveballs.
