The Rich Woman Is No Longer Acting - Reviews

The concept is promising, but the execution of the writing falls short. Despite the main character's (MC) immense power, there's an emptiness to their development. The chemistry and emotional connection between the male lead (ML) and the MC feels flat, akin to a lifeless desert. Specifically, the portrayal of the MC's emotions is underwhelming; their interactions come across more as friendly than romantic. However, the conclusion for OML and OFL provides a satisfying resolution, which they certainly deserve.

I put in a lot of effort with this one, aiming for something lighthearted and amusing. Inspired by parody books that usually deliver, I thought, "Why not?" Given that previous fan translations hadn't disappointed, I gave it a shot. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The premise was intriguing, which initially drew me in, but the execution fell flat. To enjoy this, one almost has to suspend disbelief and temporarily disregard logic.

The pacing might have been the issue – it felt rushed, making it difficult to savor the story (especially with the translated chapters divided; imagine them grouped together as they originally appeared). We don't get enough character development; she heavily leans on the system for financial schemes,声称是为原主角帮忙， but it feels forced. The slapstick humor was underwhelming, and the subplot involving her younger brother was absurd.

As for the male lead (ML), he's frustratingly dense when it comes to romance. He tries to follow the plot but seems oblivious to inconsistencies, jumping at different opportunities. Despite his credentials, ML is an idiot, and those around him only egg him on. Where's the chemistry? His devotion to the protagonist is excessive, but there's no clear reason behind it; at times, his actions seem幼稚.

Additionally, the translation had its flaws, bordering on machine-like at times, causing some confusion. This book just didn't resonate with me, but perhaps others might find it appealing.

So far, I'm really enjoying the narrative and the possible romantic subplot. However, one aspect that I find slightly off is how the protagonist, despite claiming to have no desire for interaction with the former leads, inadvertently causes them quite a bit of unnecessary trouble. It might be more compelling if she concentrated on her own journey rather than continually getting entangled with them, either by design or accident.

Warning: This might be a lengthy critique.

It's the start of a new year, and I find myself with idle time, so I decided to finish this book within just three days. Yes, I have plenty to share about my thoughts on this novel.

In short, our protagonist穿越到了一本小说里，扮演配角炮灰。她只想尽快完成自己的剧情，以便"System"能让她随心所欲。她讨厌书中的男、女主角，尽量避开他们，表面上却装出爱意。当男主角解除婚约后，她终于能展现出真实自我。

起初，故事吸引人，让人对主角和她的处境，以及与男主角（未婚夫）及家庭的关系感到好奇。然而，很快情节变得乏味。正如大家所说，主角过于强大，她比男主角更漂亮，做什么都顺利，无论是成为畅销歌手还是无心插柳地投资成功，甚至面对泼脏水都能迅速反击。男主角的求婚被取消后，她反而吸引了更富有的CEO的注意。

角色发展缺乏逻辑，主角似乎从未需要付出努力就获得一切。其他配角也显得平淡无奇，特别是男主角，作者对其刻画得非常单薄，他除了对主角的爱慕外几乎无任何个性。朋友的存在只是为了陪伴，前未婚夫因爱情盲目，而女配角的智商令人难以置信，每次遇到主角都会变得更糟，像污水般越陷越深。

唯一有成长弧线的角色是主角的弟弟，他虽然骄纵，但有自己的骄傲和目标，最终从无用之人变成受尊重的人物，他是我最喜欢的角色。

在叙事上，由于我不会中文，不确定是原作还是翻译的问题，但对话感觉混乱不清，有时分不清谁在说什么，还有些地方似乎缺少台词。作者也经常在重要场景戛然而止，我认为这对读者不公平，像是偷懒。例如：

**剧透**
有一幕，男主角试图阻止女主角捣乱，因为他明白她的愚蠢，最终会收拾残局。但在男主角说出"你赢不了"后，场景突然跳转，两人关系破裂。这是一个展现男主角对女主角失望和后悔的重要时刻，但作者却草率结束，真让人生气。

撇开这些不满，最初的一百多章我还是挺享受的，因为主角行事果决，让人耳目一新。阅读这样的故事，感觉很解压。但别期待深度的故事情节，把它当作轻松搞笑或睡前消遣更好。

总的来说，这本书不算太差，但写得并不出色。我会给它三星评价。

FL's character is fantastic - she stands up for herself, doesn't tolerate nonsense, and knows exactly what she desires. It was satisfying to see her decisively kick the ex-fiance; he definitely had it coming. Despite some instances where the protagonist's dialogue seems overly childish and not reflective of his mature personality, the main character is still incredibly cute. His parents and assistant provide comic relief with their antics. The author could refine their writing style, but overall, the story was an enjoyable read, filled with amusing exchanges between the ML and his family members and assistant.

The initial setup seemed promising and amusing, which is why I entered with high hopes for a fun experience. However, the lack of coherence was laughable; she claims to have one goal, yet her actions defy logic, turning into a hilarious mismatch.

This novel is pure comedy gold! I switched off my critical thinking before diving in, but I still found the plot absurdly random. The female lead's overpowered nature was already laughable, but the chemistry between her and the male lead pushed it to a whole new level. It's hard to fathom how they even met, let alone fell for each other instantly. His persistence despite her constant rejections just doesn't ring true, he must have some hidden motive, right? Hilariously, it's like she has a Mary Sue glow around her.

Despite the illogical bits, I have to admit, I found myself entertained by the sheer ridiculousness of it all as I kept reading. So, despite my head spinning, I'm giving this book five stars because it consistently provided a much-needed dose of laughter and unexpected surprises.

I've come across novels with unimaginative plots or poorly developed characters, but none have quite reached the level of absurdity this one displays. It's unfortunate because they had a promising premise, but they utterly failed to capitalize on it, turning it into a mess.

I've encountered stories featuring overpowered female leads (FL) or Mary Sues that, despite their flaws, at least had some explanation for their extraordinary abilities. However, this novel takes the clichés to an extreme.

One of the most laughable moments is how the male lead (ML) falls in love. In a highly contrived scene, ML coincidentally meets FL's pseudo-agent on the street. The agent suggests a blind date, which ML accepts. As a result, ML inexplicably becomes head over heels in love with FL without any real reason, going to great lengths to pursue her. Even when FL rejects him, ML persists because she changes her mind about the date, seemingly without any genuine interest from FL's side; she simply wants to be single.

This particular subplot feels utterly unrealistic and unconvincing.

The narrative primarily revolves around humor, slapstick, and an irrational, foolish female antagonist who either refuses to back down or derives pleasure from her own suffering. If you're seeking a heartwarming romance or a profound plot, this might not be your cup of tea. However, if you enjoy a lighthearted comedy that defies logic, with a touch of romance, then this could be a fitting choice for you. I must admit, I was let down by the progression of the romantic aspect – the protagonist wouldn't even consider marriage with the main love interest without the system's influence.

It's possible that some readers may find the story unengaging or the comedy repetitive. Personally, since the chapters are relatively short and haven't reached a point of unbearable quality yet, I've continued reading, holding out hope for a more satisfying love story between the main characters.

Hilarious and adorable! Despite its lack of a substantial plot or character development, it's an incredibly enjoyable watch.

I believe the story isn't terrible, but the main character's perspective doesn't delve too much into personal emotions because it seems to adhere to the novel's storyline. The character has to克制 herself and deviate from her true self to maintain the plot's integrity. As a result, the character feels somewhat artificial – she's merely bringing the character to life without fully embodying it. The protagonist tries her best to fulfill the narrative, avoiding becoming a pitiful figure, which might explain her emphasis on wealth. To find a husband, she must stick to the original plot, and a misstep led her to marry someone not part of the original plan. This story revolves around a reader playing out their character within the confines of a pre-written tale. Even if the MC不喜欢 the plot, they have no choice but to see it through until the end. The novel's world isn't her natural reality; she's essentially pushed by an external force to follow the plot, rather than living in it. Her life is dictated by the story's progression. However, I do appreciate some of the humorous characters in the narrative.

This novel is recommended for those who prefer simpler stories. While it's enjoyable, I found the plot somewhat lacking, particularly in the romantic aspect. The subplot involving the main characters' relationship felt underdeveloped, leaving me curious about their love story. The male lead is likable, with his humorous nature and ability to appear ordinary, making him a suitable match for the protagonist's ideal partner. He's adorable yet slightly naive, which adds to his charm. However, the pacing of the narrative was quite brisk, and I found myself getting overwhelmed by the rapid transitions.

One positive aspect was the character development, as the original supporting characters, initially portrayed as annoying cannon fodder, underwent significant growth and redemption before the story reached its climax. Ultimately, they chose separate paths, which was a satisfying conclusion.
