Should I read it?
This review is about a novel by Meng Xi Shi, the author known for works like "Peerless" and "Thousand Autumns." The reviewer expresses disappointment with the book, believing it doesn't live up to the author's typical standard. They initially questioned if they had the correct edition but are confident it's authentic.
The story takes place in 1900s Shanghai, where wealthy families hold immense power, corruption is rampant, and opium addiction poses a problem. The main characters, Lin Shu and Yue Dingtang, reunite as Lin becomes a prime suspect in his ex-girlfriend's murder, leading Yue to become involved in the investigation.
The novel is classified as a detective/mystery/suspense tale, similar to "Silent Reading" in its four-arc structure. However, the reviewer feels "Silent Reading" is superior in terms of writing quality. The cases in the book are praised for their suspense and unexpected plot twists, causing chills and keeping the reader engaged.
Character development is a positive aspect, with the reviewer enjoying the main characters, their families, and their interactions. They express a desire for more depth in their portrayal. However, the reviewer criticizes abrupt scene transitions, unclear details, and an abrupt ending, suggesting the book feels rushed. They rate it 3.5 stars but give it a boost due to its potential, believing it could greatly benefit from revisions.
In summary, while the reviewer enjoyed reading the book, they perceive it as an unrefined first draft that could have been much stronger with some editing and polish.
This isn't a smut though? It's not listed as mature or adult, or even R15. Go read a smut if that's what you're looking for. It's your own fault for coming here, expecting something that the story was never claiming to be.
Any good? Need something to pass the time
It's okay☺️ You're right tho about it being a Filipino language. It's called cebuano. It basically translates to "Relying on the story being good, if it wasn't?"
Context is me being frustrated over the cliff-hanger and thus I jokingly gave a low-key threat lol?
Hais..miss those days where the mc and his friends mess with each other planning to create an event everyday so that they can receive more gifts from the other sects.
Ee lol ???
Does the translation get good again or is it just bad forever after 196?
Wow you awesome you reached chapter 500 I am dropping this shitty story right away. Currently at chapter 489 and I can't cope with this. It would have been best if the concept of night and day wasn't spoken off. Worse to this the sense of time is killing me just what the hell 20 chapters and it last simply 3-4 hours amazing this is definitely not worth it. The author: you sure you normal in that head of yours ? What's the point all the forcing romance you are unable to write a proper romance scene. No you definitely leave live in a hole and have a very poor exposure to what culture, morals and life are. You should stop coping dumb styles and write a proper romance scene if you going in for romance. There is no fight in this novel. None of what happen can be considered a fight. MC doesn't grow progressively neither those he suffer any setback.What the hell is the moral of this novel to have a 100x times system to fuck off god ? Seriously damn. This isn't even an OP MC it's just damn. Author I believe you were born in the wrong country.PS: Hope my emotions have guided some of you into reading or not reading. Sorry for typos
Thanks for the updates
