Good news: The female protagonist in this wish-fulfillment novel has a huge cheat code. The bad news: The best part is that the male lead has a wife who cleans the house, cooks delicious meals, and even uses her stored food from her spatial storage to supplement his diet. After losing weight, he becomes more and more beautiful.
I feel the rating is a bit low; I think 9.2 Would be more appropriate. The author is very considerate in providing illustrations, and the plot is good. There are a few occasional illogical points, but they are negligible. After all, you don't need a magnifying glass to read a novel; you finish it quickly. I'm eagerly awaiting updates! I've also sent a gift, and I hope the author's book ranking will rise.
The storyline is good and quite enjoyable, and the audiobook version is also fantastic. This is the only novel I've read with such a detailed time-travel process that I completely accept. I feel the author is a very interesting person.
I genuinely think it's great! It was the first farming novel that got me hooked. Some comments mentioned the female lead becoming a nanny, but from my perspective, it's about the female lead leading the male lead's family out of poverty and into wealth. The male lead's family is also very supportive and kind. Why say she becomes a nanny? It's so heartwarming…
Why is such a good book rated so low? The romance between the male and female leads is well-written and clear, unlike some books where the characters inexplicably fall deeply in love. The illustrations in the book are also very much to my liking!
I've read over thirty chapters, and it's alright. The writing is quite smooth, and there aren't any major plot holes. The beginning is rather novel, with a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love, a lively sister-in-law, and a very nice mother-in-law. The fact that they started with herbal jelly is quite unique, rather than the usual pig offal stuff, haha.
Regardless of the references or jokes, if you don't skip around while reading, it's a good book.
The writing is delicate and comfortable, and it even has illustrations! The author is incredibly thoughtful. There are no flaws so far; every character is vivid, and their personalities are woven into the story. The plot is tightly woven, making it very engaging. The only sad thing is that it's still ongoing. Author, keep it up!
The story involves a reborn individual and a time-traveler, their relationship gradually developing. The accompanying illustrations allow for ample imagination and feel natural. When faced with famine, they no longer flee in large numbers but instead journey into the mountains with their chosen clansmen to survive the hardship. It's just that updates are infrequent; it's not enough! 😩😩😩
I think it's great. This author has their own unique style. Students, come and check it out for yourselves!
