Why is this book rated so low? I've read so many transmigration stories about elderly women, and this one is genuinely good. Unlike another book I read where the eldest son was also ungrateful, but the author had to reconcile him with happy endings, this book's female protagonist is decisive, unaffected by anyone, and knows how to enjoy life.
The writing is truly exceptional. Actually, the portrayal of the old woman's rural character isn't particularly strong; some of the earlier dialogues felt a bit awkward, but it's not a major problem, just a little stiff. Her actions might not be the most satisfying, but there aren't many major flaws. Who would have thought this is the author's first work? It's truly, truly excellent.
This is the first reborn middle-aged woman revenge novel I've finished reading. The early descriptions of the awful characters weren't too numerous, which was a relief. Many novels claiming to be about rebirth and revenge are actually not, leaving me feeling frustrated and unsatisfied.
Most importantly, this book contains virtually no profanity or derogatory language. Secondly, this book is very feminist. Many important and high-ranking figures are not explicitly named by the author at the beginning, but it is eventually revealed that they are women, which is great! Unlike many stories about reborn elderly women, this book doesn't have much drama or arguments.
The novel is very captivating, without too much melodrama or repetitive frustrating moments. The protagonist's every step is solid, the pacing is brisk, and there are constant exciting moments without being overly exaggerated, making it impossible to put down. I stayed up all night reading most of it, and then read a little more this morning, and it's gone! Gone!! Please update soon, please update more chapters every day, please!
The female protagonist, in her early fifties and recently retired, is reborn and no longer bound by traditional thinking. She focuses on her career and lives authentically. The story contains very little bickering or fighting with difficult characters. It's a heartwarming tale of family love and a thriving career! Recommended.
I feel the author put a lot of effort into writing this, it would be better if the pacing were a little faster. I hope it doesn't have a bad ending. I quite like stories with a faster pace, unlike some stories that just fill in meaningless ensemble scenes (even distant relatives are included) to pad the word count.
What I love most about this book is that the reborn female protagonist gets a divorce without hesitation, without any endless back-and-forth dragging on for hundreds of chapters. Then she distances herself from those awful characters and starts building a new life for herself. How wonderful! That's how a good book should be.
It's pretty good. They get divorced on a whim, open a shop on a whim—no hesitation, simple, efficient, and fast, without padding the word count.
I read this book after finishing Xia Baozhu's. It does have some flaws in the beginning, but it gets better and better as it goes on. You can feel that the author overcame the initial writing difficulties and the writing became smoother and better, especially with Baozhu's story. I hope to see new works from the author soon.
