    So I just caught up to the latest (c. 210) chapter of Superstars of Tomorrow and got left on a cliff hanger. Kind of want to see some thoughts on it.

    Brief description:
    A composer named Fang Zhao ends up passing away in the apocalypse and ends up waking up in the body of a young, up-and-coming, college aged composer(with the same name) 500 years into the future. This novel focuses on the MC's adjustment to the new era and his desire to pursue his career. His past and experience in the apocalypse plays a pretty large role in the novel.

    What I think:
    I really enjoy these types of novel. What supports the story(for me), is the MC. His personality is not a copy and paste of the calm, typical protagonist. His personality reflects his age and experience.
    In my opinion, the scene that reflected this the most, was when he met his female cousin. When he played a trick on her with the candy, I had an image of an old man.
    The plot line is quite interesting, as I haven't read a novel where the protagonist left the apocalypse timeline/era?.

    Chapter 196 naming? For the mineral, he's probably gonna name it after himself or one of his comrades

    Yah. Honestly, each chapter feels like a cliff at the end. I really enjoy reading discussions about these type of things, and this novel didn't have a LCD, so....thoughts?

    I thought the same. I checked it out, and there doesn't seem to be one.

    Well good job making one, also you should probably add a NU link and a short description of it, some people viewing it for the first time might like it

    TBH this is pretty good but there isn't a plot..it's just how the emotionless old man reincarnated into a teen survives in the new world...

    So is this a LCD for the premium chapters or the free ones? I don't want to spoil anyone who doesn't have an account.

    Uh, not sure. Let's just keep it up to the free ones, so everyone can participate.

    @BeetleBarker I was just reading Chapter 228, and "warmth" really stuck out as odd to me, so I took a look at the raws. 溫和 has more of a "mild" meaning rather than "warmth," which would instead be written as 温暖. The 和 in 溫和 is actually the same 和 for 和平, or peace.

    Novel is chill. It's just an old man, getting a second chance. The apocalypse he experienced forms the foundation of who he currently is, and in a lot of ways the story is about his post traumatic rehabilitation. From composing orchestral pieces, exploring the now-peaceful world, or venting his aggression in video games, it's all a form of therapy.

    Don't expect face slapping, or backstabbing nastiness at every turn. The MC is a veteran of nearly a hundred years of war. He's seen humanity at its worst and he's not one to dick around or play games at all. He just wants to explore the new world and write music.

    溫和 is a mild, kinda pleasing warmth. Like lukewarm, I can't really think of any other better word to describe it though

    Thank you for replying :) 溫和 isn't physical "warmth," as in temperature. Rather, it is a tenderness, gentleness, or mildness. For example, 今天的天气很温和 does not mean that today's weather is warm, but that today's temperature is very nice, neither too hot nor too cold.

    Some other examples from 英语单词大全:
    l 不含氯、亞硝酸鹽、酚等有害人體及环境的物質。氣味溫和,極佳的抗腐敗,抗惡臭效能。
    我說我期待有這樣一個約會,對方很溫和,甜美,還有一點小脾氣,他們鄙視地望著我。
    請賜給他謙遜,使他可以永遠記住真實偉大的樸實無華,真實智慧的虛懷若谷,和真實力量的溫和蘊藉。
    Cetaphil丝塔芙產品包括清潔、潤膚二大系列,提供溫和而全面的清潔與滋潤,卻不會引起刺激症狀。

    Of course, as the translator, you have the final say. Perhaps the connotation of "warmth" is too strong for me only; it might not be an issue for anyone else.
