Believe It Or Not, I Already Caught You - Reviews

One of the most hilarious Chinese web novels I've come across, "FL" was charmingly funny, while "ML" was incredibly adorable. My only minor complaint is that there could have been more heartwarming moments between the main characters; we didn't even get a glimpse of their intimate side. Despite this, the high ratings are definitely justified. Give it a read – you won't be disappointed.

I'm astonished there aren't more reviews for this incredible supernatural tale. This has undeniably become one of my top favorites so far. Each chapter is lengthy, which sometimes requires a slower pace for me to fully visualize each scene, but dedicating my early days of the year to this story has been an enjoyable experience. The fact that it doesn't lose my interest every few chapters is a huge plus – I equally appreciate the subtle romance and the supernatural elements. I can easily picture this turning into an engaging anime or live-action adaptation, the author's imagination is so vivid, it makes me wonder if they have lived through similar adventures.

The characters are all likable – I adore ChenYu, and LouMing is the ideal male lead. The supporting characters, including the parents and brother, are adorable, and Grandpa's humor adds a delightful touch. The plot is intricately woven, and the writing and translation are both exceptional. Thank you for sharing this gem with us.

I thoroughly enjoyed virtually every aspect of this, as it strikes a perfect balance between action and stress-relief, providing excitement throughout. Here are some aspects that made it particularly appealing:

1. The setting and concept are fascinating, blending ghosts and exorcists in a humorous way, with modern technology incorporated, which adds a delightful touch.

2. Each character has a unique personality, making their interactions and banter engaging. This keeps the story fresh and lively, preventing any dull moments.

3. The book is free from frustrating elements, offering a light-hearted and fantastical read. The romantic subplot is cute, featuring a female lead who is unapologetic about her emotions, and a doting male lead, which I find charming.

However, there's a minor warning: due to China's beauty standards favoring fair skin, there are instances where the female lead's tanned complexion is humorously poked at.

This is a sign of a captivating read: you find yourself unwilling to part ways with the characters at its conclusion. The book incorporates substantial Taoist beliefs and practices, which seamlessly integrate into the narrative and setting, ensuring that readers, even those unfamiliar with the philosophy, can still comprehend and appreciate it.

The book was exceptional; it possessed immense potential without succumbing to common pitfalls often found in novels. The plot maintained a solid consistency, character development was well-rounded, and logical progression was evident throughout. The protagonist was no perfect Mary Sue, but a formidable and relatable character with strengths and weaknesses that made her all the more appealing. The supporting cast was engaging, devoid of unnecessary clichés like mindless cannon fodder or overly dramatic love rivals.

The male lead was portrayed as a genuine and compassionate individual, rather than an overpowering stereotype. The pacing of the story was excellent, allowing for a balanced blend of plot advancement and character growth. The romance subplot was well-crafted and added depth to the narrative.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and wholeheartedly recommend it to others. It offers a satisfying and well-written experience.

Pros:
- The story starts with an exciting premise, featuring captivating action scenes.
- The protagonist is both adorable and strong, making for an engaging heroine.
- The hero is likable without unnecessary drama, and the supporting characters bring humor with their antics.
- Bonus scenes add charm, and there's a refreshing absence of melodramatic crying.

Cons:
- The college aspect feels underdeveloped; the heroine is constantly on adventures, neglecting her studies.
- There are too many characters, some of whom feel disposable and hastily introduced.
- The heroine's unique constitution feels somewhat contrived, used primarily for plot convenience.
- The "mountain girl adjusting to high society" subplot has potential but is not fully realized.

Ending:
- While not flawless, the story offers an enjoyable experience overall, like a mixed bag of treats.
- Characters are diverse and intriguing, keeping readers engaged in the unpredictable plot twists.

PS:
- Despite giving a rating of 4.1, I've rounded up to appreciate the translator's efforts.

I've just completed the book, and it's rather endearing. The protagonist exhibits a strong will, which pleasantly surprised me, considering it's通常这类回归豪门的故事中常见的角色设定。

(Translation Disclaimer: I translated this from Machine Translation, so some details might be inaccurate. This is my personal interpretation based on the translation provided.)

I couldn't finish reading it, so I won't vote. Honestly, I tried, but the novel just wasn't palatable. I feel like if I continued, I'd end up angrier than witnessing Bai Weiwei's toxic behavior and Ye Dog's masochistic tendencies.

1. I can't tell if the main character (MC) is overly confident or incredibly foolish. When she decided to resurrect her older brother, it seemed unclear. Confidence is fine, but she comes across as impulsive. While she may possess skills, they don't seem adequate for every task. But seriously, remember you're mortal; challenging the heavens is reckless!

2. The main leads' selflessness is excessive. They don't consider the consequences for others. For instance, when the MC saved her brother, she faced backlash and cried about it, despite being in university. It was portrayed as a noble act, but I view it as selfish. Her grandfather warned her about the risks, but she ignored that. What did she expect?

3. The MC's grandfather even traveled to the underworld to check on her, and when he offered to save the male lead (ML), she complained and acted like a brat. Yes, she saved her grandfather, but it's frustrating how she lacks empathy and gratitude.

4. The ML, while not terrible, made a foolish decision by attempting to extract some ghost energy from the MC after her backlash. Even if he meant well, his lack of understanding is concerning. As someone rational and involved in government weapon creation, getting involved in such nonsense doesn't make sense.

5. I don't understand why people lose their minds in love. Self-sacrificing acts like these don't resonate with me. The MC's optimism and kindness are admirable, but her meddling and reliance on her body's unique abilities are annoying. It's like the author is emphasizing her importance to the ML, but it's not enough for me to enjoy her character.

6. I request a different MC. Someone level-headed, dedicated to learning ghost-catching skills before facing challenges. The focus on building a road instead of education or practical income streams frustrates me.

7. The plot is decent, with extensive research on feng shui, but the MC's character flaws dominate my reading experience. If the MC were more focused on learning and had a stronger bond with her family, I'd enjoy the story more.

8. It's confusing how she claims not to have studied feng shui seriously, yet performs better than professionals. The lack of family connection throughout the story is another issue. I understand her desire to save her brother, but her actions seem disconnected from her family dynamics.

9. Overall, I'm愤怒 and disappointed with the MC's character. The novel has potential, but the current protagonist doesn't work for me.

10. To sum up, a change in the MC would improve the story significantly. A more grounded and emotionally connected character would allow me to enjoy the plot and world-building better.

The initial part of the novel and its translation are exceptional. However, from Chapter 90 and onwards, the pacing becomes rushed, which significantly detracts from my enjoyment. The abrupt or hastily concluded ending dealt a major blow to my overall satisfaction with the story. Moreover, the romantic aspect seems to fade after Chapter 50, almost becoming non-existent. Given these points, I would rate the comedy aspect three stars.

I'm intrigued by this novel as it's being taken up by Mad Panda and Novice Translations, who previously worked on "My Husband With Scholar Syndrome." Since I haven't finished reading the translated chapters, I'll update my review once I've completed the book.

What caught my attention is the FL's loving and supportive family. Initially, I assumed FL was abandoned by her parents, but it turns out she was actually kidnapped by human traffickers, which explains her isolated life in the mountains. The story revolves around exorcism and supernatural elements, with FL showcasing exceptional talent as a ghost hunter and ML as a brilliant military figure.

译者大人，加油哦~ :3

Spoilers ahead:

There's a sequel focusing on FL's brother's romantic adventures, but I haven't come across it being translated yet.

The title of the series is "我的女友是只猫" (translated to "My Girlfriend is a Cat" via Google Translate), and in the sequel, Chen Yang (FL's brother) is a policeman. FL gets cursed, transforming into a cat most of the time but occasionally reverting to her human form, but she loses control over the transformation process.

The female protagonist is indeed adorable and charming, the standout character with her positive nature, cuteness, and innocence. Despite being a bit naive, she stands firm by her principles, which leads her to defend wronged spirits, even if it goes against the norms of her ghost exorcist profession. However, my personal opinion is that the male lead comes across as irritating and a hindrance. He seems like a forced inclusion, aware that he's not much help but persists, causing chaos instead. His self-righteousness only adds to the problems, making others, including the female lead, suffer. It's not just a one-time thing; his constant attempts to fit in and connect with her world only create more trouble. Honestly, it would be better if he supported her from the background.

Additionally, the male lead's father doesn't fare well either, coming across as unpleasant. By the way, I apologize for mistakenly giving one-star initially, but I'm unable to change it even after editing.

I completed reading it last night and found it incredibly amusing, especially the FL's candid nature. Unlike most stories where I tend to connect with the ML, in this one, it's the FL's straightforwardness, humor, intelligence, and her passion for wealth (stemming from her past experiences and understanding its value) that captured my heart. It's hilarious how things turned out!
