The blurb is quite fascinating. Can't wait to start reading...
133 chapters 6-12-23
An exciting story!
"It's a light and enjoyable read, but with room for improvement. I'd rate the storytelling 3 stars and the translation 1 star, totalling 4 stars. The ending feels rushed, and the villain's character is somewhat underdeveloped. Additionally, I suspect the female lead might have feelings for the male lead, but she consistently denies them. It would have been more satisfying if the author had clarified their relationship dynamics; it leaves me feeling disappointed."
Thank you for the information
If you like a good novel, read this. The story is good, you will get to enjoy so many stories in one story and best part is every single one of them has its own charm.
IMO, best part of this novel is it's MC. There are a lot of loopholes that will annoy you but the MC is great. Tbh, one of the best. He doesn't love on morals, neither he is a villain, whatever he does is has a reason behind it. Side characters are fine but not great so that's one downside but the ranking of this novel certainly is underwhelming because it is much better than most of the novels in the top 100 smh
The female lead is an immature and emotional creature that acts on her temper first before thinking. In short, a complete idiot. ?
All your reviews somehow makes me want to read the novel in question. You have a godly talent in persuasion ?
Novel are mostly drawn in manhwa manhuwa manga so there isn't much difference in the plot however sometimes it is changed little
dang, 3 people voted this 1 star. Guess I'll skip it then
I'm puzzled by the high rating. If the quality of translation is appreciated, that's understandable, but I struggle to comprehend the high praise based on the story. The couple's chemistry doesn't feel comedic to me; it comes across as irritating. Frankly, this story isn't for me. There's a glaring inconsistency in how the main character (MC) tolerates the male lead (ML) - it doesn't make sense.
Specifically, I question a demonic cultivator's patience with a ghost who's no longer useful and just a bother. The constant use of the term "wife" to address the MC feels off, even if it's a title. As a woman, I'd find it infuriating if a stranger addressed me that way. It's hard to believe a demonic cultivator wouldn't react more strongly.
The ML's behavior is quite silly, and while his explanation for losing his head (literally) might excuse his actions, it doesn't change the annoyance factor of having an airhead around. Despite Quianren's claims of valuing dignity and face, he accepts the dead partner rather easily, which is confusing.
The novel loses its appeal as I progress. Although the translation is commendable, the excessive details in the narrative slow down the pace, making it rather boring. If the translation was poor, I wouldn't mind the extra context, but since it's not, the redundancy becomes grating.
The relationship felt forced from the start, and though the author tries to improve it later, the initial 15 chapters leave me unconvinced about a genuine emotional connection between the MC and ML. I've decided to drop the book. I don't mean to say it's a bad story, but there are plot holes that don't sit well with me. If logic isn't a priority for you, perhaps you'll enjoy it more.
Rating-wise, I give it two stars due to the high score, but purely based on the story, I'd rate it 4 stars if I were optimistic, or maybe 3 stars if I were more realistic like myself.
The story is quite unremarkable and lacks depth. It caters to a fanbase seeking wish fulfillment, but there's not much substance beyond that. The protagonist is a typical Gary Stu, with superficial character development, where people around him are easily impressed and fabricate elaborate stories about his mysterious background to justify his extraordinary skills.
In an early scene, the main character rejects a high-profile project, attributing it to his alleged instincts. However, his inexperienced colleagues, unaware of his actual qualifications, blindly accept his claim without considering the possibility of error. The author spends excessive words describing their awe at his intuition, verging on incredulity.
The author's recycling of characters is evident, as they reuse the same actress in five out of the first eight jobs, solely due to her popularity, despite the lack of distinct personalities among the cast. Compared to other similar novels I've read, this one falls short. For instance, "Versatile Superstar" is a stronger entry in this genre, though it leans more towards music-focused storytelling.
