It's like the author had multiple story ideas and put them into a mishmash of one.He has two simultaneous storylines going on, for the ml and fl.But it was soooooooooooooo arbitrary. Like the story style changes completely from the first dozen chapter.The author tells the reader to read every other chapter if we prefer one protag over the other.But then why even write the story that way?I can't go on reading a story knowing I am probably going to miss half of it. I read till chapter 66, so I know if you read only every other chapter, you would miss a BUNCH of infodumps and worldbuildings. So what's even the point of saying " If you prefer to only read one or the other lead, just read every other chapter of your preference." if the reader is missing a lot of the technical details.And it's honestly hard to get immersed in a story where each next chapter is about another protagonist.So rather than multiple good stories, we have a mediocre one.Not worth the time. I gave story dev a 1 star.The author also used 2 different time units, for usual things he uses day, minute, second, week, year etcetc but then he inserts ancient chinese time units like shi, shun, ke. Its very confusing.The writing does improve though. but it's still very confusing.
