Can we just appreciate how well the author writes voice messages versus actual dialogue? Because the contrast is *chef's kiss*. When Shen Lingxi is texting him sick, it's all fragmented and shy: 【Sorry, I made a typo. It's my head that still hurts a bit.】and then 【d—^^y, when are you coming home?】The censored name, the hesitant tone—it's so different from when she's actually talking to Song Zhili, where she's blunt and unfiltered: 'Fu Jinglan and I have a purely physical relationship, with no emotional involvement.' The author is basically using the text barrier to show us two different versions of Shen Lingxi—the curated, sweet version she performs for Fu Jinglan and the honest, guarded version she shows her friend. And Fu Jinglan's voice messages? Oh my god. 'Miss me? Where do you miss me? What part of me do you miss? Is it a psychological kind of missing, or a physical kind?' This man is DANGEROUS. He's weaponizing sweetness. But then his actual spoken dialogue is so different—short, clipped, commanding: 'Undo it. Apply the medicine.' 'Don't be cheeky. Walk properly.' The gap between his text voice and his real voice is where the character lives. Also, the humor is subtle but there. Mu Suizhou's line about 'Old Fu really is getting old. Everything he does feels so pitiful' while watching Fu Jinglan walk away with wilted flowers? That's the narrator winking at us.
This chapter is a masterclass in escalating tension. It starts small — braised pork, a lunch box, kids complaining — and by the end Liu Meiling has bought a courtyard in Yangcheng and is calculating divorce. The author doesn't waste a single beat. The structure here is brilliant because it mirrors Liu Meiling's internal journey. First the explosion at home (emotional release), then the financial reckoning (practical planning), then the trip to Yangcheng (action), and finally the hospital scene with Qin Xiangru (social maneuvering). Each section builds on the last, and the pacing never drags because every scene has a clear purpose. What I love most is how the author uses the braised pork as a ticking clock. It's the catalyst, but the real story is what happens AFTER the initial outburst. Liu Meiling doesn't just yell and calm down — she immediately starts calculating: selling her job for 1,800 yuan, demanding half her eldest son's salary, squeezing money from Qin Xiangru. The transition from emotional to strategic is so smooth you barely notice it happening. The Yangcheng trip is a perfect breather between the home drama and the hospital confrontation. It gives us world-building without slowing things down — we learn about the demolition zone, the prices, her past-life knowledge of the area. And then the hospital scene lands like a punch because we've been waiting for it since the beginning. One thing I'd note: the chapter ends on a slightly abrupt note with Li Mingliang's expression changing. It's a cliffhanger that works because we're genuinely curious what happens next, but it also feels like the author is saving something for later. Either way, I'm hooked.
I need to talk about Fu Shixuan's apology scene because I literally sat there staring at my screen after reading it. Here's this guy — the original owner's crush, the golden boy everyone worships — and he shows up at her door not to defend himself or make excuses, but to take FULL responsibility for something that wasn't even his fault. 'If the drug really was your doing... I do not blame you. The fault lies with me. If I had answered your feelings sooner, you would not have resorted to such desperate measures.' I am not okay with this level of emotional maturity from a fictional character. He's essentially saying: you did something desperate because I was too slow to care, and that's on me. Not on her. On him. And Shen Zhaozhao's reaction? She's stunned. Not because she still has feelings for him — she explicitly thinks about how 'having a powerful, wealthy husband was never as good as becoming powerful and wealthy yourself' — but because she's never encountered this kind of grace before. She expected deflection. She expected blame. She got accountability. The tragedy is that she doesn't want this from him. She wants respect, and he's giving her something even rarer: unconditional dignity. She walks away from that conversation with her head high and her heart... I don't know, maybe a little cracked? Because part of her probably wishes she could've fallen for someone like this in her original life too. Also the way the text describes her looking at him — 'warm gaze holding a hint of conflict' — while she's internally planning her escape route? That's the kind of emotional complexity that makes me want to scream.
Let me talk about the pacing because this author knows how to build tension like nobody's business. Chapter 6 starts in media res—we're dropped into the aftermath of something huge with zero exposition. Molly's sprained ankle, her aching body, the drug implication, the engagement mention. The author trusts us to keep up, and that's brave. The dialogue-heavy confrontation between Molly and Tsunayoshi plays out in real time, slow and suffocating, like we're both trapped in that room with them. Then Chapter 7 pivots HARD. The escape sequence is where the pacing snaps into gear. What was a slow, aching conversation becomes a physical journey—limping through corridors, dodging guards, the unexpected appearance of Yamamoto as a checkpoint, the car ride away. The chapter structure mirrors Molly's emotional state: stagnant and heavy at first, then frantic and desperate as she bolts. The cliffhanger is perfect. Not a dramatic revelation or a confrontation, but a quiet moment: Tsunayoshi holding the charm, smiling, already looking forward to the next meeting. It's a soft landing that somehow feels more threatening than any shout match could be. The author understands that the scariest thing about this story isn't what happens next—it's that nothing will change between these two.
The story of this novel is really good, especially the comedy, which I liked a lot. It gives off a strong feeling of brotherhood. From what I've read so far, the story is pretty great. I'd rate it 4.8/5.Any update about your 1st book “Hunting Period”?
I hesitated at first because there is only an author's review but it's actually a decent read, I will recommend this book!
I cant give to much detail to the review because it only has few chapters out, but it looks promising and interesting. The plot is catchy to the eye and in seems to be based in a world of a souls like game, pretty much like shadow slave.I think the idea is good and can explode but we will see the further it advances
Go on boss, please continue this novel, we will always support this.ps are you a mechine???
Story is well written, and has quite a bit of future potential. Just remember this though, if you yourself, enjoy writing your stories, then that is the one thing that should matter the most more then anything else. Sometimes, it is not about any sort of money or payment, but should in fact, always be about enjoying sharing your work with your viewers and fans. And that, should always take priority, because if your fans and viewers enjoy reading your work, as well as potential future generations, then that is the one thing, that should matter more to you then anything else. For you see, people are more concerned in living in the here and now. While people me, we like to have a more, long game in mind. Now, don't take this as some sort of negative by any means, I am just saying, that if we want future generations to enjoy this world, then we have to be willing to protect what we love, in an effort to do our best to better our future.
one of the greatest story i have read and the only real problem I get is that you should make casual conversation less dramatic to make it look more real sometimes conversation seems forced
Feels like one of em time stopping Mangas. When will the MC/God(?)/the world(?) make all em chicks or people around them aware of the immoral things they been doing? I believe the story would be good by two levels if we get some reaction from, at the very least them chicks he been clapping, shock, surprise, embarrassment and such... Would be nice
I have been waiting for this the whole time, was expecting a sequel but got something new!! Very excited about the future journey..!
