In a Terrible Reading Slump: I Drop 9.8-Rated Books After Ten Chapters and 9.7-Rated Ones After Five
I'm so out of books to read, but I'm incredibly picky. For "Ten Thousand People Are Browsing", I made it only thirty chapters before dropping it. I used to read "Dragon King" past chapter 400, but now I dropped "Slay the Gods" after just twenty chapters.

In all of Lao Zu's stories, the male and female leads are always incredibly good-looking, but this time, I wasn't even sure who the female lead was in the first few chapters. On one hand, there's a devoted and possessive ex-girlfriend, and on the other hand, there's a childhood sweetheart and a beauty icon in the entertainment industry... Lao Zu, are you planning to build a harem this time?
It reflects the values I appreciate: philosophical, insightful, grounded in reality, with clear boundaries and principles. It explores themes of unrequited love, mutual respect, and the importance of finding the right balance. People eventually mature and learn to weigh things, unlike the reckless youth. For adults, making conscious, even reckless decisions is a significant concession.
Don't be fooled by one-sided accounts of the male lead's character; at least his actions and behavior live up to his persona. Fang Nan's pure personality is a problem; she's quite realistic and cute, the kind of woman you'd never want to meet. The male lead is similar, but undeniably real. This book isn't pure romance, nor (for now?) A harem.
The author places two people with completely different values, social classes, experiences, and living environments together. These two incompatible individuals, through forced adjustment, reveal their inherent flaws, making both appear repulsive to us, the third-person perspective.
This book has a good concept. I understand Fang Nan's heartache for Zhou Ye, but I also understand Zhou Ye's unique perspective on love. At first, I didn't quite understand this feeling, but by the end, I realized that blindly going along with things would only make both people more tired. Stop bullying Fang Nan, it's really unbearable, but I'm also very open-minded.
Having read dozens of chapters, I won't comment on the later plot, but I thoroughly enjoyed these chapters. The narrative, logic, sexual tension, and supporting character development are all very strong, and it takes into account almost every aspect. I really appreciate this well-paced writing style. When reading, I only focus on the story and never get involved in it.
I enjoy watching Fang Nan and Zhou Ye's sweet interactions; they're kind of like bickering lovers. At first, I thought it was well-written, but as I read on, I felt the character's persona was crumbling.
I don't know why the rating is so low, but let me put it this way: as long as you can get through the beginning, regardless of whether it has multiple female leads or a single female lead, finish reading it first, and then give your opinion. You'll find that the writing is quite good, not dragging, and basically better than most Tomato-themed novels.
The author, Jiu Zu, still loves changing pseudonyms. Every book features an incredibly powerful female character—a mother, a sister, and now an aunt. It's still the same familiar formula and delicate writing style. Dear author Jiu Zu, I have only one request: please don't include a harem in this book. I really like the female lead, so she's the one.
The author's writing is excellent, and the characters in the book are vividly and deeply portrayed. While male-oriented novels often feature exaggerated character designs, they are not as mindless as some other works, remaining within acceptable limits. Some of the book's views on relationships are difficult to understand, yet they are grounded in reality.
