Well, it's well-written, with a very delicate style. However, there's too much psychological description in the early parts. I suggest removing that. The low rating is probably due to this. The later developments are much better. It's quite good. I read it all in one go.
It's quite good. The female lead is ruthless, resourceful, rational, and clear-headed. The original owner of this body was in poor health; if she had suddenly changed her personality and rebelled wildly, it would have been normal for her to be accidentally killed by her awful family. The female lead endured until she was almost sent to the countryside before emptying out her family home.
The author writes in too much detail, constantly depicting the female protagonist's living environment. Every action is magnified and embellished, making it tiring to read. There should be a clear main subject (focused description), but also blurred backgrounds or negative space (blurring) to create a clear distinction between primary and secondary elements. Repeatedly magnifying even small actions and environments is exhausting. Aside from this issue, the author writes very well otherwise.
The female lead's inner thoughts and emotions are so intense, and there's an indescribable sense of madness about her, somewhat like the feeling of someone who has suffered a mental breakdown due to a sudden death.
It's a very good read; the female lead's performance before going to the countryside was absolutely brilliant. However, the author seems to have created a division for her, as if after going to the countryside, she has no more worries about her family and can live a carefree life.
Objectively speaking, the first few dozen chapters were indeed a bit cumbersome, with a lot of repetitive content. However, the plot became clearer as the story progressed, and the female lead's life improved significantly. Overall, it's a satisfying read, and I encourage you to keep writing! 👍
The story itself is good, but the narrative style is unpleasant… The author knows how to annoy people; despite the disjointed nature of the writing style, I still tortured myself and finished it. 👍
This book's writing style is rare among Tomato's works; the psychological and action details are incredibly meticulous. The female protagonist, transmigrating into a historical novel, is remarkably cunning and cautious to the extreme. Her various acts of forbearance and inaction before going to the countryside might not be very friendly to readers who prefer fast-paced, empowering female protagonist stories. However, it's quite enjoyable if you take your time and read it slowly.
I like this kind of female lead The female lead's personality is not suitable for having a male lead.
The author's descriptions of the characters' inner thoughts and narratives are quite extensive, making it rather somber to read. I wonder if it will improve later on, just my personal feeling. Those who enjoy this type of story might want to check it out...
