I had fun reading this novel. I liked that it has a reasonable number of chapters. The characters, though already typical in C- novels, are totally the kind of leads that I love reading about. The ML is a domineering and powerful man who instantly changes when it comes to the FL. The FL is the kind of female lead that I really love. She was a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tough. I also find her "vanity" very endearing and empowering as a female reader. I don't wanna elaborate on it too much. I also find the side characters very endearing and interesting. I hoped there were side stories about the emperor and empress, the princess and her guard, the best friend and the first cousin and of course the twin brother and the other young Miss Gao. I even adored Li Song's character. The way the author wrote and developed his character made him touch my heart. I'm sort of happy that in a way he got his chance and found his own happy ending with Wei Luo in that side story.
Only read 19 chapters, but I already had to stop. The translation is difficult to read and there are way too many clichés jam packed in just these few chapters. Young Masters haven't even started to appear yet, but a couple of arrogant characters have that already made the Mc their nemesis. I really can't go down this rabbit hole again. I'm tired of reading about completely unreasonable characters. It's a shame that not every Cultivation Novel could be like "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality". Heck, I would even settle for more like "Nine Star Hegemon Body Art". Although that's also filled with every Cultivation Novel cliché under the sun, at least it's well written and easy to follow. I should probably just stop reading novels like these. Anything with Emperor, God or Immortal in the title, it's a risky click and you might waste your time.
I absolutely adore the wit of the main character (MC) when dealing with overused tropes and the quirky, underdeveloped dynamics between the male and female leads. The gradual transformation from vulnerability to strength throughout the book is highly satisfying. The revelation of the MC's job unfolds like a captivating mystery, and the constant shifts in plot and settings keep the story fresh and engaging. Watching the MC subvert and manipulate the cliches of typical Chinese novels in their own twisted fashion is an absolute delight.
The storyline is truly lackluster. If the translation hadn't been decent, I'd rate it a single star. The Protagonist starts off strong, but an omnipotent character makes the narrative somewhat monotonous. Despite being reborn, she lacks knowledge of the future, only knowing her mother and herself were killed by her father. She possesses medical expertise, martial arts skills, and various talents, along with an extensive spy network. This renders her seemingly more knowledgeable about national affairs than the emperor, which is amusingly ironic. Her ability to effortlessly make things happen makes the plot拖沓.
The only humorous and intriguing aspect is her acting, which provides some much-needed laughter.
As for the Male Lead (ML), it's not implausible for a country's crown prince to study medicine, but going to courtiers' homes secretly for treatment stretches credibility. Furthermore, a single encounter or two wouldn't justify a deep infatuation. The description of him as exceptionally handsome doesn't align with the fact that neither the emperor nor empress are portrayed as stunningly beautiful.
While the book might be passable if you're in need of something to read, the author seems to rush through the plot without providing adequate background. It focuses primarily on the leads, but the sudden shift in the father's concern after killing her feels illogical, and the grandmother's excessive worry is similarly unconvincing.
I entered the story with low expectations, only to be pleasantly surprised by its engaging plot twist. Initially, I thought it would follow the typical trope of a character reincarnating as a child, but the unexpected turns genuinely captivated me. What stood out was the author's skill in weaving every character into the narrative, offering a breath of fresh air from stories where the protagonist is the sole genius, while others remain oblivious. The transformation of the original antagonists into supportive allies or neutral figures was a significant highlight.
This novel is a standout read for those seeking a revitalizing tale. I couldn't help but devour it, finishing it in just three days – it's a definite must-read!
Ik I'm a bit late but yeah it is, at times I literally wondered if the authors copied each other as they wrote lol
Me too. I liked its translation.. i hope sincerely they update us
This...
I don't quite know how to describe it.
I only got to [Chapter 91.2] when writing this, but I am most likely going to drop this.
It's essentially a somewhat generic novel, but unlike the really generic ones, this one has some emotional development.
The story is decent, but how it's written is horrible.
The very first few chapters were absolutely horrific to get through thanks to the VERY LITERAL translation, almost no nuance or interpretation to speak of.
And the improper spacing of sentences, it felt like a 256-page essay with spaces at regular intervals, only because it was required.
Later on it gets better... the translation does, the story doesn't change much.
Only when you've got absolutely nothing else you want to read in your library, would I recommend this.
I’m about to start rereading right now. For some reason I just had a random urge to reread. It’s a good novel and I enjoy it, but I can understand why other people don’t.
Thanks I was so confused
After the story ends.
I want to hear someone trying to say his name
