Although I've only read 87 chapters, wow, the female lead's revenge speed is, without exaggeration, the fastest I've ever read in a novel, bar none. Find the suspect—confirm their connection to the massacre of her sister's family—kill them—provide the male lead with information about the family's bribery—the male lead raids their home and exterminates their entire clan.
This is incredibly good! 60 Chapters! He killed Cuique, killed Han Shizi, deposed the Crown Prince, and is about to take action against the Duke of Ningguo. The whole story is so satisfying! It's the first time I've read such a satisfying revenge story. The pace is fast, and there's no nonsense. If you can do it, you don't have to talk. The male lead is alright too.
After reading this book, I finally understood what a fast-paced plot truly means. I never understood why some people accused other novels of padding the word count, because I didn't really feel that way. But after reading this one, I understand what truly non-padded plot means! The pacing is fast, with no unnecessary dragging. It's serious when it needs to be, and humorous when it needs to be.
It's great! The female lead is decisive and mostly self-reliant, but it's a pity her sister's family died so tragically. The author should probably give her a rebirth side story, since she already has a master who seems to have transmigrated. 🥺
It's incredibly good! The female lead just keeps killing until she gets tired of it (not really), she's decisive and ruthless, taking down the bad guys one by one, with the male lead right behind her to cover for her. The pacing is excellent; there are no "planting harmful plot points in the story without the female lead knowing," no "the female lead has a fleeting thought but doesn't remember it…
A true gem among gems! This book is a gem whose title doesn't do it justice. I've seen so many recommendations for it since July, but I hadn't read it until the other night when I was desperate for something to read and saw it recommended again. It's absolutely fantastic! The transitions are incredibly smooth, and it's hilarious from beginning to end.
It's exceptionally good. The plot is fast-paced and avoids melodrama. The romance isn't excessive or overly prominent. Both the male and female leads are intelligent and resourceful. While there are many villains, they are quickly eliminated. Overall, it was a very enjoyable read. I personally love this kind of story ❤️ I really like the female lead.
It's really good! I haven't seen such a good novel on Tomato in a long time! First of all, the writing is smooth, the plot is exciting, the pace is short and fast, and there is no padding or dragging. The female lead usually gets to the point of identifying her enemy and taking revenge in about three chapters, unlike some filler novels that deliberately drag out the pace by writing tens of…
This is incredibly well-written! Revenge is never delayed, the truth is never forgotten, and there are absolutely no melodramatic misunderstandings. Any clue is immediately traced back to the entire story; anyone acting suspiciously is immediately placed under close surveillance day and night. No conspiracy escapes its grasp, and no detail is overlooked.
This is so awesome! All the new books that have been released lately are fast-paced and exciting! So they're all being serialized 😢🥺 The male and female leads are well-developed characters, making for a super engaging read—highly intelligent and skilled in both literature and martial arts! The author's writing is also excellent, full of memorable lines and very engaging.
