Synopsis
Gu Ming is an eighteen-year-old high school student working a part-time job at a beast shop when he awakens a mysterious system. However, the system is fundamentally flawed, treating him as a fifty-year-old man in the midst of a mid-life crisis. This glitch results in Gu Ming contracting a Time Dragon that is supposedly at the end of its lifespan, though the creature initially looks like nothing more than a snake. This story reads like a blend of classic monster-collection adventures and the broken system trope often found in Eastern fantasy. It is ideal for readers who enjoy lighthearted humor and the growth of unusual pets, but those seeking a gritty, traditional action epic should skip it. The pacing is steady, focusing on the absurdity of the protagonist's situation and the irony of his rewards. The strongest appeal lies in the comedic friction between the system's expectations and Gu Ming's actual reality.

Editorial Review
From an editorial standpoint, the novel possesses a strong, quirky hook that differentiates it from the saturated beast-taming market. The central irony of a teenager being treated as a middle-aged man by his own system provides a consistent source of comedy and a fresh motivation for character progression. However, with only 100 chapters released and an ongoing status, the narrative is still in its infancy. There is a risk that the initial novelty of the bugged system may wear thin if the plot does not expand beyond the central gimmick. While the Eastern fantasy elements are well-integrated, the story needs to establish more substantial stakes to maintain momentum. Overall, it is a promising start with a clear identity, but its long-term viability depends on whether the author can evolve the conflict beyond the system's errors.
