It's worth reading; don't be misled by the title and think it's boring. It's quite good, with well-developed characters, smooth pacing, and a captivating plot. So far, it's been very enjoyable. However, one minor issue is that most of the highlights are focused on the protagonist, making the official organization seem like a helpless clown.
99% Of this book is about the supernatural. What I like most is that it doesn't focus on the female lead's mundane family life, like dealing with difficult relatives or family discord. It's almost entirely about the supernatural events she encounters, how she resolves them, what's involved, and who the mastermind is. I really love this kind of pure supernatural fiction. [Full]
Unlike other supernatural novels, this one features a particularly interesting and funny design with its talismans. It's quite amusing and can be read as a comedy. The villagers in the female protagonist's village are all cheerful people, especially little Zhenzhen. I especially love Yu Bafang and little Zhenzhen. It's a very good read.
Aside from that recent story about Jiang something (the one about sending a daughter to the countryside for the sake of a son), which I didn't like, all the other stories were great. Ghosts seek revenge for their grievances, and humans seek revenge for their grudges. They made me feel good after reading them, and I hope the author will write more.
It's beautiful; it has a magical dreamlike quality from my childhood.
The theme was alright, but the female lead was constantly doing missions, it was exhausting to watch, haha.
It's a very typical story told from the female protagonist's perspective—so typical it's almost unbelievable. While some word choice might be considered imperfect, the story itself undeniably stays focused on the female lead, avoiding any sloppiness or the emergence of a prominent male character who steals the spotlight.
It has a cute feel to it. Although there are ghosts, monsters, and fairies in the story, it's written from a child's perspective in a childlike way, so it's not scary at all. It's a bit like Xia Da's *Zi Bu Yu*, where the cute female protagonist slowly grows up through various magical events. It also has a bit of a Luo Xiaohei feel to it.
The premise is novel and leans towards slice-of-life. Occasionally, the female lead's character feels a bit off; most of the problems are caused by the eccentric, pseudo-human male character, which gets a little tiresome. The female lead's eventual decision to return to her own world is commendable.
It's great! Each short story explores human nature, and each character has their own backstory and personality. There are a lot of plot holes that the author didn't fill in completely, which is a bit of a shame. There are no extra chapters, but a little regret is normal!
