Feng Yu Jiu Tian - Reviews

You criticize the reviewer who downplays the significance of An He's death and the impact it had on the story, stating that it's crucial to acknowledge the severity of the abuse.

Regarding the book's rating, you give it a low score based on the plot, side characters, and world-building, despite acknowledging the genre's appeal. You also mention a specific guard character, Rong Hu, who you hold responsible for not helping An He during the assaults.

In conclusion, you stand by your honest review, understanding that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but you believe it's important to address issues that may bother readers, even if it means not universally pleasing everyone. You end on a lighthearted note, signing off with a friendly reminder to have a nice day.

Revised version:

You know I tend to write reviews for almost every BL book, but I often question why I don't come across books with high ratings. Anyway, let's delve into this one. Honestly, Feng Ming, our main character, comes across as knowledgeable but not wise. His childlike behavior and constant need for praise grated on me – he'd whine when not praised, like a show-off in middle school. It's fine to want recognition, but it doesn't make him likable.

As for Rong Tian, the ML, the 5-star reviews seem to avoid discussing his problematic actions. He sexually assaulted An He, which is a serious issue. While acknowledging that it's essential to address such topics, it's concerning how Rong Tian still gets a happy ending without facing consequences. An He's experience can't be overlooked, especially since he was a minor.

The reviewer's comments section has caught my attention, with some justifying Rong Tian's treatment. But An He's role was significant; his death shaped the plot. Dismissing his suffering because he's the ML is unjust. Another reviewer sees the book as a subtle exploration of abuse, but romanticizing toxic relationships is not acceptable. Fictional stories, including this one, have real-life implications.

Overall, I rate this story:

1 star for the plot (it's a war tale, but it falls short),
1 star for some side characters,
1 star for world-building (it's passable).

Notably, the guard Rong Hu's inaction during An He's abuse is a major issue. His silence speaks volumes, and I can't forgive him or others who enable such mistreatment.

If my honesty offends, I apologize, but I stand by my thoughts. Everyone's taste differs, and if you enjoyed the book, that's great. But it's important to address flaws, even in fiction, as they can influence readers. Have a wonderful day, readers!

This is an incredible book, and I express my gratitude to the dedicated translators who have made it accessible to us all.

So, overall, I would rate this series around 3.5 to 4 out of 5, rounding up. Why not give it a full 5? Well, let's be honest, I found myself losing interest due to boredom, constantly waiting for updates in other series like LMW, FOD, True Star, and "Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil." I decided to give it a try because others praised it.

I didn't regret my decision, but I wasn't overly excited about this one compared to "Face of the Devil." In terms of plot, it was decent, offering insights into ancient Chinese society and politics, with fascinating quotes from historical figures. However, the main character (MC) is a sore point for me. He's incredibly naive, which is unrealistic given all the times he gets kidnapped. It's difficult to empathize with him, especially when he tends to see the good in those who betray him repeatedly. I've come to expect more mature protagonists from other reads, which affects my perception of him.

On the positive side, the romance and political aspects were enjoyable. Despite disliking the MC's naivete, I appreciate his unwavering loyalty and dedication to his love interest. The ML's character development is commendable, especially considering the numerous kidnappings and the lengths he goes to protect his beloved.

As someone interested in politics, I enjoyed the portrayal of ancient political maneuvering. It's amusing to see how simple solutions are perceived as extraordinary by characters in the story. However, what confuses me is why the MC doesn't introduce the concept of indoor plumbing – it seems basic and essential for comfort. That oversight irks me a bit.

In conclusion, while I've reached volume 16, this series managed to capture my interest despite its flaws. If you're open to reading about a less-than-perfect protagonist and appreciate engaging romance and political intrigue, then I'd recommend giving it a go.

The relationship between the main character (MC) and the male lead (ML) isn't terrible, although ML's treatment of the original owner of MC's body raises concerns. It's puzzling how one could develop feelings for someone who subjected them to such trauma, like the prince's tragic suicide after being repeatedly tormented.

The MC's character has received quite a bit of criticism, with some finding them childish, particularly due to their fascination with horses. I understand that their attempts to display intelligence might come across as cringe-worthy for the reader, but everyone has their flaws.

The plot itself keeps things engaging, but it can feel overly smooth at times. For instance, the uncle's return to seek revenge against ML was initially portrayed with seriousness, but the climax saw ML easily defeating and killing him, which might have been expected. The kingdom's acceptance of this event and the subsequent apology to the princess in her own land seemed rushed, especially when MC's math prowess inadvertently led to the princess momentarily forgetting about her late husband.

There does seem to be a lack of genuine conflict or obstacles in the story. While the characters' journeys are entertaining, it would benefit from more depth and realistic challenges to maintain the audience's interest.

I can't help it, I just can't! I can't move on from the tragic life of the original character.先是被夺走亲情，成了暗杀的替罪羊，好让真正的王子安全成长。而这个故事里的主角——我们的“美好”ML，竟愤怒到被绑架、当作目标和替死鬼，甚至面临生命危险！接着，ML无情地折磨、殴打并**那个小王子，每一天都是欺凌和侮辱，连仆人都不放过。真是疯了！然后，现代穿越者来了，又一个蠢货。他占据了小王子的身体，明明知道他的悲惨遭遇，却依然恶语相向，称他为酒鬼。我问大家，如果有人每天遭受**、折磨、欺凌，生活在无尽的恐惧、痛苦和恐惧中，怎么可能会不借酒浇愁？他没有做错任何事，是无辜的，但我们看不到他复仇，不，我们的穿越者忙着当**和讨好ML。而那个ML——摄政王，在犯下所有罪行后，还能过上幸福生活。这简直是扯淡！我一直期待着主角能为原身报仇，让那个**者痛不欲生，但始终没有发生。他折磨人至死，自己却得到了所谓的幸福结局。

Lately, there have been reviews consistently giving the novel low ratings due to disagreements with the storyline and characters. It's important to acknowledge that personal preferences and beliefs can vary, and that's perfectly fine. However, it's crucial to remember that the story is entirely fictional, with characters and events that may be dark and intense, such as the rape scenes. This should indicate that not all characters, like Rong Tian (the male lead), conform to typical villain archetypes.

While I, along with many FYJT fans, do not condone any real-life harm or trauma, the key is to differentiate between fiction and reality when engaging with such content. Characters and their motivations should be judged within the context of the story, considering their impact on the narrative pace.

Regarding specific plot points, the rape and death of An He might be unsettling. An He's tragic backstory, as an abandoned child and scapegoat, led to his unfortunate fate. His love for a palace maid and their desire for a family provided a small ray of hope. While his death was essential for Feng Ming's introduction, one might question if it was necessary to depict such extreme events for the plot.

However, the story's appeal lies in its complex characters and their multi-layered actions. The various side characters, representing different nations and motivations, add depth and interest. It illustrates that people handle situations differently and that characters are not solely defined by their actions, making the story intriguing.

The story also teaches valuable lessons about self-reliance, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of power struggles. Feng Ming's dependence on Rong Tian for rescue highlights the need for strength and strategic thinking, while their contrasting ideologies create conflict. Rong Tian's ruthless nature, driven by love and ambition, evolves alongside Feng Ming's gradual acceptance of harsh reality and personal growth.

Although there's still much development ahead, it's uncertain when Feng Ming will become self-sufficient. If only a competent translation team could pick up the series starting from Volume 16, we would see more of this story unfold. Until then, I'm hopeful and willing to support the translation process.

While this novel has its merits, it may not cater to everyone's taste. It's not appropriate to label readers as irresponsible or masochistic based on their preferences. Negative feedback serves as a cautionary note for those who might not appreciate this kind of content. Personally, I completed all the volumes, and although the main character's naivety could be frustrating at times, he ultimately confronted his fears and learned to treasure those who truly cared for him. I particularly enjoyed the final installment.

It's frustrating and somewhat disheartening. You try to overlook minor flaws, but when they accumulate and the negatives become unbearable, it's hard to forgive. Feng Ming comes across as a dense, self-absorbed fool without self-awareness or empathy. His naivety borders on infuriating, making readers almost want to confront him themselves.

Why would someone in modern times attempt negotiations based on童话 logic? And why do these ancient individuals fail to understand the subtext when the main character expresses their frustration about being a contemporary man?

At one point (v2 c15), the MC mentions knowing about poker faces, yet that very understanding adds to my annoyance, to the point of wanting to physically intervene in the story. Despite realizing his modern knowledge is his key strength in this era, he proudly displays it, calling himself a genius, which feels like a cheap ploy.

It seems like the MC is goading his opponents by revealing his vulnerability, seemingly saying, "Feel free to exploit my naivete." It's baffling how these ancient characters miss the deeper message when the MC vents about being a 'f*cking modern man'.

"Feng Yu Jiu Tian is hands down one of the worst novels I've ever come across. The main character's Stockholm Syndrome behavior is utterly infuriating. Initially, the male lead was a despicable figure, but due to a convoluted plot twist, I somehow find myself tolerating him. However, the real issue lies with the protagonist – they're the main source of my frustration. Volume 29 stands out as my favorite because, finally, the MC receives the consequences they truly deserve."
