It's doing alright so far; hopefully it won't be a complete failure.
It's really well-written; it's not a mindless wish-fulfillment story. Instead, it's depressing and frustrating to read, very close to real life. So many people are bound by their families of origin like layers of cocoons; only by breaking free can they be reborn. π_π This is toxic; the protagonist is truly pathetic.
Overall, it's alright; you can check it out if you're looking for something to read.
It looks alright for now, let's see.
This book's style suits my taste perfectly. Therefore, I give it five stars.
I'd give it 4.5 Stars. Overall, like other reviews, it's alright and watchable. The only flaw is that the characters are too typical 😰. For example, Li Ruyue—you can tell what's going to happen to her the moment she appears 🤦. And Wei'er—she's such a classic character, born in a brothel and working as a member of the Imperial Guard.
This is too toxic! Everyone should train to increase their poison resistance! 👍
There are no cheat codes or super-powerful plot devices, which is a plus. The overall plot development is also quite logical, although there are some minor issues with the handling of details, but these flaws don't detract from the overall quality. It's the kind of story you can still read, and if it doesn't fall apart later on, it'll be quite good. Keep up the good work, author!
It's alright so far, probably because I've read too many bad books and have a higher tolerance for them. I have a feeling it won't be good later on, I'll keep watching. What a loser, can't even tell the difference between what's fun and what's funny.
This is a strange book; it makes you want to quit after just twenty chapters.
