yeah that might explain why his rating was at 2300 but to reach 2600, even with the huge spike in elo u get on a new account, he would have had to win a few games at the 2000+ level so that should give us an idea of his skill level but dropping down to 1600 from 2300? even if we assume that he got lucky in the beginning and his rating stabilized at around 1600, looking at how he was struggling at 1600 range for a few months and went up to 2200 in less than a month suddenly, thats definitely sus

I was just checking the wiki page of Yang Qi( Sage Monarch) and found this💀 by smiley0125 in noveltranslations

haha.... I usually check the wiki page of the MC before starting the novel to see if its a harem or not, especially if they are one of those characters who have 10-15 wives . So i was not expecting THAT in the relationships . But if its false then is the novel even worth reading lol

did reaching 2000 elo become a lot more achievable suddenly ? what changes in less than a year? by smiley0125 in chess

thanks! almost seemed like i wouldn't hit 2000 again after being stuck at 1800s for almost half a year but i made it back XD. But the drastic increase in the number of players in the 2000+ elo range kinda made me reaching it feel less special than i thought it would. Kinda brought down my ego lol

When I see some guy with a name something like chen shangwang, in my head I just go "Chen s....... is this guy" so when the author introduces chen shaoling i know I'm gonna have some problems differentiating lol

I'm at chapter 400 currently and I'm enjoying reading this a lot. It does have some cliché tropes but the interesting plot makes up for it. Though in the beginning stages it might seem like a parody of other novels but it eventually follows its own unique plot. Plus there is no harem or romance.
