English title: Smash All Pots and Pans To Go to School
4.5 stars rounded down to 4
I wanted to read something different from all the historical/modern settings I've been reading recently, and I came across this story which sounded exactly like what I wanted.
The FL, Wei San, used to be a top engineer on all of earth. One day, she wakes up to find herself in a completely different world, occupying the body of an orphan in a remote, nameless planet. Without a single cent to her name, she has to scavenge in the trash heaps for food, but thanks to her prior engineering knowledge, she earns some money and starts attending the local military school. From there, she slowly rises up to to become a pretty OP dual mecha soldier-engineer.
The world setting is interesting. Everyone takes a perception test as a kid, and you can be classified as A class, B class, etc. Your level determines the extent of your capabilities. Obviously the higher the level, the rarer you are and the more respected you are. The FL starts out as an A class, but let's just say that's not where she stays as the testing equipment on her remote planet wasn't technologically advanced enough to test her true level. The same test also checks which profession you're most suited for, either engineer, soldier, or mechanic.
Don't expect a lot of romance from this story. For the longest time I didn't even realize who the ML was and finally read through the spoiler reviews on Novel Updates out of curiosity, and even by the end, their relationship is barely more than established. This is a pure heroine-driven story that follows Wei San as she rises up through poverty and deals with all sorts of people looking down on her to become a mecha soldier/engineer who is highly respected across the whole universe. Read it if you want some solid action and plenty of shamelessness from the FL and her friends.
The story can be broken down into a couple major arcs. The first part deals with her time on Star 3212. I wasn't super sold on the story at this point but decided to keep reading as I had a feeling it would get more interesting later, and I was right. The second part is short and focuses on her time at Damocles, where she truly starts learning the basics of fighting and engineering. The third part, which is the longest, describes the interschool Hephaestus competition, and the last part deals with our main characters getting involved in the fight for humanity's survival.
Even though the story was really long, I enjoyed it a lot, especially the 3rd and 4th parts. There were many rounds of the competition, but the author does a really good job of making each round's environment very unique. Strategies and alliances kept shifting, and it never felt repetitive. It was also really nice seeing how the Damocles team slowly rose up through the ranks and gained recognition, from the poor team that everyone made fun of at the beginning to a team respected for their abilities.
The reason I'm giving 4.5 stars rather than 5 is that the last arc felt a bit rushed. The author went into great detail for each round in the competition, but things happened super quickly in the last part of the story. There were a couple of moments / battles that I would describe as the climax, and they just came so suddenly that I wasn't ready for them. I wonder if the author realized the story was getting too long and decided to speed things up near the end.
It was nice how the author dropped so many small details throughout the story and it's not till much later that you realize this was all foreshadowing for the big conspiracy that's revealed later. To be honest, it was a little hard to keep up with and remember all the details, but I appreciated how everything fit in together by the end. Of course, not everything was explained, at least not thoroughly, but there was so much going on already that I didn't mind.
Anyways, I'd be remiss in my review if I didn't mention the rest of the Damocles crew. I loved each and every one of them. First it was just Wei San that was fiercely unapologetic and willing to do anything, but as the teachers put it, she slowly "corrupts" the rest of the noble students on the team and soon they're right up there with her in terms of shamelessness and flexibility. Also, the way Wei San taught them to take advantage of other people's money, even though all of them come with families with money, had me cracking up. I love their loyalty to each other and how they're willing to stand up to teachers and authorities to protect one of their own.
Moving onto some spoiler-ish thoughts...
**Warning: Spoilers Ahead**
I was completely in the dark about who the ML was. Initially I thought it was one of her fellow Damocles students, first guess was Ying Chenghe. When it was obvious that wasn't the case, I thought it might've been the mysterious West Landing fighter in the underground factory. It was after I realized it wasn't both of them that I finally got annoyed and looked it up. I was a bit surprised that it was Ying Xingjue, since he sounds so far apart from the FL in terms of status and his personality is so aloof and cold, but after you see their interactions together it works.
It took a while to get to the point where they start actively collaborating, within the arena and out, but I really enjoyed their interactions. There's just something super satisfying about a super 3S commander directing a super 3S soldier to face down their enemies and becoming an unstoppable team. And the nice thing is that they actively protect each other, so it's a healthy two-way relationship. Obviously the ML helps the FL out a lot with his perception, but she's also fiercely protective of him. When he's discovered in a very compromising position and is accused of killing other students, she actively portrays him as a victim and insists that the evidence isn't conclusive against everyone who tries to take him down. I didn't mind the fact that the romance and their relationship isn't confirmed until the very end, as I felt like their interactions and protectiveness of each other was enough to satisfy me.
There were so many things I liked about Wei San. She's always looking for opportunities to learn. For example, she uses her secret battles in the underground factory to improve her engineer knowledge by dismantling parts of her opponents' mecha to understand how it works. And then her shamelessness kicks in and she'll take away some of the dismantled parts to add to her own mecha XP And speaking of shamelessness, I love the FL's fixation on the ML's hair, to the point where she couldn't resist herself and touched it when she was standing behind him.
Wei San is also constantly misunderstood and gains quite an unruly reputation, like when she's caught by the major to be flipping over school walls in the middle of the night. Everyone thinks she's just going out for drinks and to relax, but she's actually going to work on real mecha stuff at the underground factory. Or when when other people overhear parts of her conversations with Jin Ke and Ying Chenghe about paying money for sleeping and think that they're having a threesome, when she's just renting out empty beds in her dorm room for money XP She's just such an interesting character and very likable as the FL.
While I enjoyed reading through the 8 rounds of the competition, I'm glad the author stopped it early to focus on other plot points. Here's a brief summary of each round for my own reference:
1st round - takes place on Imperial Capital, pretty standard, nothing interesting happens
2nd round - takes place on Sado Star, ML realizes that FL is super 3S when she detects the star beasts in the earth before anyone else does
3rd round - takes place on Gu Yu, a planet with acid rain. This is where our protagonists hit the jackpot with the Purple Liquid Mushroom, an extremely rare mecha ingredient.
4th round - takes place on Fan Han Star, an extremely cold environment. The cold wave (similar to a sandstorm but for the cold) hit unexpectedly early in the middle of the round, and some teams aborted early. Damocles and Imperial both were unlucky and got caught up in the middle of the cold wave. They have to collaborate with each other to escape. This round is one of my favorites because it's the first time FL and ML fight together against the gray beasts in the vortexes. Also, FL's shamelessness comes out in full force as she repeatedly broadcasts Damocles' first place win XP
5th round - takes place on Sita Star, which is mostly oceans and cliffs. Second time Imperial and Damocles collaborate to steal the starship from Samuel and Pingtong! This round was hilarious because somehow the FL managed to rescue the unconscious ML, and he kinda joins their team for the rest of the round while the Imperial team clearly struggles without him
6th round - takes place on South Percy Star, which is a rainforest with many poisonous animals and plants. The heavy rain wakes up the huge mutated Desire Mushroom, which essentially makes everyone do the thing they must desire. For the FL she wants money, so she's still lucid enough where you can direct her by telling her you'll pay her afterwards XP here the FL's hidden abilities as an engineer is revealed, as their team's engineer was knocked out early on and they need someone to fix their damaged mecha
7th round - takes place on White Dwarf Star, Samuel's home base. The wind is really bad here, but nothing really crazy happened in this round.
8th round - takes place on Willard Star, where the whole arena is an empty ground with virtual projection. Because of this, cadets can't tell which star beasts are real or not. This is where everything goes to hell and the infected make their move to try to take out all the cadets, innocent bystanders, and competition-related personnel. After this, the tournament is stopped and everyone tries to make sense of what happened.
Anyways, gonna end my review on a light note with some of my favorite comedic scenes from the novel. At one point, there's a dance between all the schools to foster unity and camaderie, but soon "dancing" becomes a little bit more than that...
Liao Runing, who was on the opposite side, was well prepared, dodged, and kicked him again.
Xiao Eli is also a 3S level soldier. After being stepped on without any precautions, he would naturally avoid it if he was prepared from behind.
Under the cover of music and lights, the two began to step on each other's feet. The harder they stepped on each other, the harder they moved until they were discovered by the people next to them.
A group of people around them had begun to stop and look at these two inexplicable people.
And then when the FL gets involved in "dancing"...
Ying Xingjue's eyes fell on the soles of her shoes, and his eyelashes drooped: If you fight against her, you will always suffer in some way.
Wei San was wearing rivet shoes. She handed the rivets and quick-drying glue to the members of Damocles' school team who had not yet entered. She entered the dance floor and tapped along.
-------------------------
I love the FL's obsession with the ML's hair so much XP She brings it up in media interviews...
The reporter gasped: "Wei San challenged Ying Xingjue, one of the twin stars of the empire, in public! Yes, you heard that right, it was Ying Xingjue! Wei San actually said to Xingjue that his hair was not dry. Friends in the Audience, according to past speculation, this is Wei San's pre- match provocation!"
In the end, the reporter made a generous statement: "According to our reporter's speculation, Ying Xingjue is Wei San's next target!!
She'll bring up his hair on stage...
"What do you want to say to everyone after Damocles Military Academy won the championship this time?" Yu Tianhe took the microphone from Ying Yuerong and asked this customary question.
"Yes." Wei San held the microphone and held Ying Chenghe with one hand in front of the entire federation. "We have always had a question to ask Ying Xingjue, one of the twin stars of the empire."Wei San raised her hand, hugged Ying Chenghe forcefully, and picked up a small handful of his dry hair: "What is your hair care secret?
And finally ML actually burns part of his hair to keep the FL sane against the black insects trying to take over inside her, and guess what?? It works!! XP
“Didn’t you say you wanted to burn my hair?” Ying Xingjue’s gaze locked on Wei San as he seized a handful of his long hair draped over his shoulder. He shoved a lighter into her hand, voice steady, almost taunting: “Imperial's Fire—that was the nickname you all gave me, right?”
Flames raced up the length of his hair in an instant, leaping toward his face. He didn’t so much as blink. Didn’t move. Just stared at her.
Wei San’s eyes were still pitch black—but all at once she shot to her feet and snapped, “Are you insane?!”
Goddamn it!!!
Always threatening me with yourself!
She glared at him, part disgusted, part aching with reluctant concern. Seeing the scorched side of his hair, she muttered under her breath: “Long hair looked better.”
Now that half was so singed it looked worse than Ying Chenghe’s perpetual bird’s nest.
Ying Xingjue just watched her, eyes bright with quiet laughter. “You’re awake.”
Wei San glared harder. “…I’m awake because you scared the shit out of me.”

Finally found this book here. It's got no english (fan) edition tho? 🤔🤔 It prob shouldn't have it, but they are everywhere on goodreads 😂😂😂
I had a BLAST reading this book. One of my favorite webnovels!! I've read mtl (but it was surprisingly amazing & the best I've ever read. I usually can't stand them so i don't read them - but this one passed my requirements! I got this mtl recommended & it almost reads like a normal tl.
It pains me that people overlook this webnovel. I loved it, I had great time laughing a lot (the humor was not lost in the mtl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). It's english fan tl name is:
"Smash All Pots and Pans To Go to School"
But don't look at the name haha. It's actually a scifi military mecha academy + with military tournament later on, rags to glory, found family story, PLOT PLOT PLOT, barely any romance (rather than that, it's relationship building throughout the novel with the tiny sprinkle of nicely tying it up in the end). I usually am afraid i will get bored with no romance plot in the novel (bc even regular romance can save somewhat bland characters/story/pacing/characters inter-relationships, so romance makes it easier for authors usually (in my eyes). I just have anxiety in this regard, i love no-romance stories as well) BUT I WAS NOT READING IT FOR THIS IN THE END!!!!!! I thought it's gonna have regular romance plot like most webnovels in the beginning so I was going in with that in mind but it was nicely subtle throughout and it was even more fun awaiting the twos interactions :D I would like some more of them at the ending, but.
I love the MC!!!! and I ALWAYS love academy/geniuses/hard workers stories bc they are so motivational at the same time.
The PLOT. The CHARACTERS. And their RELATIONSHIPS. I would genuinely like more people to read this webnovel. Why is it invisible to people????? Y'all are missing out.
Maybe it's the mtl but it did leave some questions, some potential out and unanswered. Mainly in the worldbuilding field. Some things made me consider them mistakes/plotholes. Plus a couple webnovel-typical coincidences 🙃🙃🙃
The story doesn't explain the transmigration, but it does suggest there may have been some fate at work.
Some wouldn't want to read this story bc of these points, but to those of us who don't mind or who value other characteristics more: to me the entertainment, excitement, action, all the previously mentioned traits and the right blending of slight tragedy in all of this (don't worry, it's not really tragedy) made me ENJOY this novel immensely and create an important personal bond with it.
Call me biased, I love it.
To me, the other plot and positives overvalued the negatives in overall rating, & I personally value personal experience a lot in my ratings.
More objectively, it should prob be 4 stars. Idk.

Truyện vừa khoa học viễn tưởng vừa kiếm hiệp, vừa thanh xuân học đường vừa võ sĩ giác đấu, vừa hài hước vừa gay cấn. Thật xứng đáng tiêu tốn một ngày trong kì nghỉ Tết của mình :D
Đọc truyện này xong, mình đã quyết định không đọc tập tiếp theo của Cánh Tư nữa. Mọi sự không thỏa mãn khi đọc Cánh Tư đã được Đập nồi bán sắt đi học bù đắp. Đúng là kẻ mạnh không than thở về hoàn cảnh - Vệ Tam lớn lên trong bãi rác vẫn quyết tâm học hành, trở thành học sinh xuất sắc tiến vào trường quân sự trọng điểm. Không não yêu đương, không thánh nữ, láu lỉnh và tự tin, nữ chính như thế này mới đáng là nữ chính chứ.
Đọc xong tập 1, mới phát hiện ra là đây là bộ 6 tập tổng hơn 2 ngàn trang !!!

进度：90%，幕后黑手也差不多了，实在看不下去了，就当看完了吧
讲的是工程师女主穿越到机甲世界靠天赋赚钱、干翻所有人的故事，并且和另一个世界第一谈谈恋爱（？）暧昧（？）的故事。
我对机甲可能不算感兴趣，看前面女主穷苦攒钱的过程也没有代入感。女强文给女主开金手指我可以接受（不过这个女主给我的形象更像是性别模糊的NB），但是这个金手指开得过大了，一路保送 MIT 的感觉……之前铺垫的从底层辛苦爬上来的人设和他轻轻松松捡到神器的痛苦形成了很强的矛盾感。
文中主要的设定是一场机甲对抗游戏，打怪兽、打其他学校的人，过程无聊至极，毫无波澜，水之又水，出现了各种配角，但是他们形象性格的特点我一直没有抓住，以至于看到最后所有人都面目模糊，记住的名字和做过的事根本对不上。
让我坚持从40%撑到90%的原因是我想看背后这个惊天大阴谋到底是怎么回事，等我看到解谜部分了，我就=。= 好吧，作者开心就好。
感情线也写得不怎么样。在正文中还未出现端倪的情况下作者率先在作话嗑起了两人的CP，看起来简直就像是强行拉郎，一点也get不到，后文为了恋爱氛围埋的小细节在这样的印象加持下也让我十分反感。
不过这个文风让我一开始以为是腿毛略粗/退戈，隐隐让我想到了风行烈。退戈很久没看了，但是离风行烈的差距还大了去了。

Lâu lâu lụm lặt được cái web novel thú vị ghê.
Tựa gốc: 砸锅卖铁去上学
Tựa việt: Đập nồi bán sắt đi học
Tựa Anh: Smash All Pots and Pans To Go to School
(nhìn chung google version nào cũng đọc được, trải nghiệm về bản dịch thì cá nhân tui thấy bản Việt hài hước hơn bản tiếng Anh, còn bản gốc thì chất lượng khỏi phải nói rồi hen).
Truyện lấy bối cảnh thế giới tương lai (cỡ năm 5xxx), con người sống trên nhiều hành tinh khác nhau, quân đội lúc này đã phát minh được robot có thể điều khiển để bảo vệ bản thân và chiến đấu chống lại quái thú xâm lược, cũng như tạo ra được các thể loại máy móc giúp thích nghi với môi trường khắc nghiệt trên các vì sao.
Mạch truyện chính là kể về Vệ Tam (卫三, Wei San), nữ, bảy tuổi, nghèo không một xu dính túi, sống ở hành tinh nhỏ bị thiên hà ngoài kia lãng quên (nôm na giống như vùng khỉ ho cò gáy bị chính phủ quên mất vậy đó), tạm gọi hành tinh này bằng một mã số khô khan là hành tinh 3212. Cô bé mồ côi cha mẹ, không tiền không quyền không nơi nương tựa. Tuy nhiên, tác giả còn chút nhân từ là để thiết lập nhân vật cho cô bé mang theo được ký ức từ nghề nghiệp của kiếp sống trước - một thiên tài về thiết kế máy móc. Đến với thế giới này, cô bé có lòng muốn bản thân trở thành một người thợ chế tạo vũ khí giỏi, ước mơ tự mình làm ra được robot vừa sử dụng cho bản thân (đơn giản do không có tiền mua robot mà mê quá nên đành tự tìm cách chế ra thôi) vừa góp thêm công sức giúp loài người chiến đấu chống quái thú. Đáng tiếc, bối cảnh hiện tại lại nghèo quá nghèo, một xu cũng không có để mua đồ ăn, mà thân thể thì suy dinh dưỡng đủ điều, mỗi ngày đều phải ra bãi rác lụm đại đồ có thể nhét vô bụng được để không bị chết đói. Trước tình cảnh này, con đường chinh phục ước mơ cho một kẻ không tiền không quyền không thế là chỉ còn cách lặn lội đến trường đi học thôi, nhưng hiện tại quần áo đang mặc thì rách nát, còn không có tiền để đóng học phí nữa…
Đập nồi bán sắt đi học - nghe tên là biết nữ chính quyết tâm để được đi học cỡ nào rồi. Truyện này đợt tui đọc là đang lúc lười biếng, thế mà tui bị ý chí muốn được đi học của nữ chính lay chuyển thẹn lòng mà quay vô bàn ngồi học bài luôn, nữ chính quyết tâm bằng mọi giá để được tiếp tục đi học, ý chí cực kỳ. Tuy kể thì nghiêm túc chín chắn vậy đó chứ truyện này thuộc motip hài hước nhe. Nữ chính giỏi thông minh, nghèo mà không dễ bị bắt nạt, ai đập chị là chị đập lại liền, battle khắp muôn nơi, sau này nữ chính có cơ hội đi học kết thêm bạn bè trong trường đọc mà cười mệt. Mạch truyện bao cuốn, có hài hước cũng có âm mưu, có tình bạn tình đồng chí ấm áp (còn tình yêu tui chưa đọc tới nên hông biết hê hê, nhưng hiện tại tui vẫn tin con hàng này chất lượng) (update: sau khi đọc hết thì tui thấy tình yêu trong này cũng bình thường không ấn tượng mấy, nhưng gần cuối tác giả mới tập trung tuyến tình cảm cá nhân, còn lại đa phần là yếu tố về tình bạn đồng kham cộng khổ rèn luyện và sát vai chiến đấu) . Tui thích tình bạn trong truyện, lúc vui thì quậy tưng bừng khắp ngõ, lúc cần nghiêm túc thì teamwork ra trò, vừa vui vừa ngầu là thế.
Như đã nói ở trên, thiết lập thế giới trong truyện là giữa các vì sao, mức độ phát triển của khoa học là dùng robot chiến đấu, hai yếu tố này không phải để làm cảnh đâu, mà được tác giả vận dụng khá tốt, nhiều phân đoạn chiến đấu kịch tính. Nhìn chung ai thích gu nhân vật nữ mạnh mẽ vươn lên vượt khó, người khác nhìn qua tưởng kẻ khờ a-ma-tơ ất ơ cà lơ phất phơ lơ tơ mơ mà rốt cuộc đụng chuyện lại là cao thủ hú hồn con chồn trầm trồ cả thiên hà thì ghé đọc thử. (cá nhân tui thấy tác giả có buff nhưng không quá ảo, đủ để hợp lý phát triển tình tiết sau đó - chứ không là nhân vật “ngoẻo” từ đời nào rồi). Đây là web novel thôi nên cũng đừng ai hy vọng cài cắm văn hóa triết lý sâu xa đọc cho biết thêm kiến thức này kia nhe, cá nhân tui thấy web novel mà như vầy là không hề tệ đâu, giải trí tốt phết.

人物塑造很棒，剧情个方面都很精彩！就是后期稍微有一点点水。人物也比较多可能中途有点乱，但也还好。当作爽文随便看看就行。

结局有点扯但前期还是蛮好玩的，很喜欢人物们的性格。剧情方面来说非常爽文hhh看得爽就好了

很热血的群像文～但是按照红刺北的惯例有那么一点点烂尾w 整体还是很不错的！
评分有点低所以多给一颗星拉高它吧～在我心目中还是值得至少4.4的，比英文teen fiction那边古早晋江风的玛丽苏要好看太多了qaq

I rarely write reviews but this web novel deserves a 10+ review! It’s so good! The author’s writing style has lots of humor, I often find myself cracking up. Great sci-fi and a quick read with a little romance sprinkled in. Highly recommend!

Thích nhất khả năng thích nghi và vượt cảnh của nu9, cho mình nguồn cảm hứng vô tận ở cuộc sống ghê.

Found this translated and loved it, the female lead is so sarcastic and witty but also not unrealistic. Driven but flexible

爽文！但是为什么最后要加入这样的言情线。
还以为会更深入探讨阶级差异这样的话题，结果只是被拿出来衬托女主有多坚韧和强大。
