I like every character in my novel very much, and I try to make them more flesh-and-blood, rather than just good and evil. Thank you to everyone who reads this novel [Thoughts]
(Personal opinion included) To be honest, this book popped out to me while I was browsing, and then I was attracted by the introduction. Every setting won my heart 😘 and then I decided to add it to the bookshelf. I personally like to follow up on updates. Although I have only read 40 chapters, I still can't help but leave a review. First of all, it's the writing style. I really don't have the desire to read this book because the writing style is not good, but I can see that the writing style of this book is pretty good, especially the description of clothes, which is really beautiful and requires a lot of effort. Secondly, I really like the setting of the male and female protagonists. It's a great dual character 🤭. The female protagonist also has many facets. I won't go into details, but she is really awesome (compared to the male protagonist). The first person who falls in love with the heroine is a female protagonist like me [admiration]) The author's character creation is excellent; finally, the plot line and the emotional line complement each other, which is the heartbeat blended into every moment of life, the frankness after suspicion, and the mutual support of people in the same boat. At the same time, it does not hinder the development of the plot line, and the distribution is reasonable, not abrupt, not embarrassing 😄 (If the author has any suggestions, you can stop reading at this point 😅) But I personally think that there are still many shortcomings🙏🏼: 1. Em... As I said in the review, the author's book is based on ancient sayings. In that era, female competition was inevitable, but it was not a bit much. The whole chapter is full of overt and covert female competition. Although I personally will not stop reading it, this is actually a very popular lightning point 🤔 (if it is a foreshadowing laid by the author, pretend I didn't say it), many people will avoid it. As for what to do, the author can reduce such plots later, or add some male competition to neutralize it [OK] 2. The narration is too clear... Ancient sayings focus on images, and speaking too clearly will lead to a lack of imagery. Sometimes it is better to let the readers experience it themselves. For example, it is often mentioned in the article that the eyes change from... To..., And the kindness of a doctor..., And the heart gradually recedes... But..., I know that the heroine is a doctor, but the repeated mention of a doctor... Is a bit annoying 😅 And the inner changes of the character or the image of the character are not necessarily clearly written through the narration, just click on it. In the follow-up, you can blend the emotions into the scene, use environment or side descriptions, or show it through specific examples. Don't be too clear and leave some room for readers to imagine 💕 3. In order to further improve the quality of the novel, the author can put more energy into the verses. After reading so many chapters, there are no verses. Appropriate verse quotations can add color to the article 👍. Moreover, I feel that the narrative sequence is not very good, and it lacks a sense of progression. It can be seen that the author writes in great words that the heroine once saved The male protagonist wants to add a sense of fate, but it seems to give people a mediocre feeling (my feeling is not strong anyway) and the plot is a bit clichéd and not novel. The description of the environment can be refined a little more. It feels superficial and just a pile of words. You need to combine emotions and do it appropriately. Don't start another one after you finish writing this. I've said a bit too much, and I'm afraid of causing resentment. Anyway, I'm very surprised to see this kind of article on Tomato ❤️. Although it hasn't been scored yet, I have a hunch that it's 8.5 Guaranteed. This book is still too cold. I try my best to attract people. I hope the author will write better and better 💕
A very perfect novel, with clear logic and three-dimensional characters. The male protagonist and the female protagonist have a dual-power setting. From using each other, the male protagonist gradually began to behave towards the female protagonist. The heroine is also slowly starting to feel excited, but she always remembers what the hero said at the beginning, and later on she avoids her feelings for the hero. I hope that the two emotional lines will come out more later, but I really like to see the two plotting revenge for their loved ones. It's very interesting to watch, and I also like it. I really like what the heroine said: after seeing the heaven and earth, seeing all living beings, you can see yourself. Having seen the various ways of trying to survive in this world of fireworks, and experiencing the most authentic joys, anger, sorrows, and joys, you know that the power of life does not lie in your high status, but in being able to find your own fulcrum no matter what situation you are in, and grow as tenaciously as weeds. She smiled slightly, with some emotion in her smile, "In this market, the simplest wisdom is hidden." Being able to feel at ease here may require more courage and wisdom than struggling in a power field. "These words actually redeemed the male protagonist, because the male protagonist's only relative, his second brother, was killed by Machiavellian (I guess, personal opinion, the author has not updated the plot yet.) There is also a brother-in-law. The real brother-in-law's emotional line is also a bit sad. I hope the ending is good. Finally, I hope the author doesn't feel stressed. It's very interesting. Come on! 😳😳
I think the writing is pretty good and the writing style is also good, but one thing you have to remember is that this is a Tomato novel author. In fact, I think this platform is not worthy of you, a well-off person. There is no meaning of yin and yang. Uh, when we readers read Tomato, the main thing is to be clear and easy to understand. Uh, the number of words in your paragraph is too many and too long. This really needs improvement. Um, because our words are too long, I don't want to read them. I find it troublesome, and I have to read them word by word. If you write a sentence that is too long, Just one sentence is enough for you. You don't need to put three or two paragraphs together because your paragraph is already very long. It's too long and I don't have the desire to read on. This really needs improvement! But the writing is really good too
This book is really well written. There are many foreshadowings and suspense in the foregoing, which allows readers to reveal the truth chapter by chapter. The characters of the male and female protagonists also touched my point. I really like the clear, sober and cold look of the heroine. I also like her warmth when facing the mute stall owner in the street, and her kindness as a doctor. The male protagonist is unknowingly attracted to the heroine. The two must have a fate. In short, the plot is not dull and very contagious. There are pulls, temptations and temptations. I hope the author can continue writing to the end. I am looking forward to every chapter you write! 😘
This article is really one of the few that suits my taste. It's really beautiful!!!!!!! The author's writing style is also very good! In fact, many people say that the author is sometimes too wordy and explains too much, but I feel that the author's explanations are not redundant, because sometimes I really don't understand when I read it. With the author's explanations, I can read better, understand the character's heart, and thus understand the character's personality!!! In short, I hope that the author did not take it into consideration when writing the book and can write as he pleases!! Looking forward to the author's other works!!!
I was almost misled by the score at first. I didn't quite understand why such a beautiful book had such a low score. Did those who gave it a one-point score really read it??? First of all, this book has a strong sense of logic, no brainless plots, and the characters are well created. The princess who dares to love and hate but is a little bit bad, Xiao Che who is paranoid and crazy but really pitiful, Qingyao who is naive but knows how to return... There are so many characters, there are no pure bad guys, and there are no pure good guys. In this book, I clearly saw the shrewd and rational male and female protagonists working step by step in the court, their hardships, and their strength and fearlessness in staying together. In short, I really like this dual-power setting, and I also like the human fireworks depicted in the book. Finally, may the river be clear and the sea be peaceful, and they may stay together without any worries. This book is really, really good, really!!! 😢
The author of this book has a very good writing style, pure ancient prose, from which he can see that thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king; he can also see the turmoil and corruption in the court. The emotional line between the male and female protagonists is long and thin. The two constantly test each other and slowly reveal their sincerity. At first, I felt that the male protagonist was going too far. Even if his political opponents had different opinions, there was no need to treat the female protagonist like that, right? She was given food, shelter, and servants who despised her. His Majesty originally granted the marriage, and he couldn't control the heroine himself, let alone the heroine. Also, King Chen and Princess Chen are very pitiful. One was restrained and shackled by his mother since he was a child, unable to resist, like a porcelain doll without emotions. If he could change his mother, maybe he could really be an idle prince who traveled around the world and only recited poems and composed poems. Princess Chen has always admired King Chen since she was young and always knew that she would marry him. Unfortunately, she fell in love with an inhumane person and did not go astray. To put it bluntly, she was just a poor person trapped by love. The overall plot doesn't have many ups and downs. The whole text is rather serious, but the writing is delicate. And logically speaking, it is impossible for the son of a princess to inherit the throne. This is true in many novels. After all, half of them are of blood from other countries, so how could the emperor really prefer King Chen to succeed him?
I can't say that this book will suit everyone's taste, but for me, a person who likes reading about plots, I discovered this book by accident. I didn't like to follow up on it at first, but I couldn't help but read two chapters. Later, I was attracted by the closely interlocking storyline and the vivid and vivid characters. I used to skip reading sometimes, but I couldn't bear to skip reading this book. I personally think Xiao Che is the best person written by the author, and he often appears in real life. After surviving the education he received since childhood and the coercion of his biological mother, he turned into such a twisted person. The author's description of his character, including his words and deeds, is really true. Let's talk about the two protagonists, from the initial temptation and suspicion to the mutual trust and trust now, although Xiao Heng was very bad to Qing Yue at the beginning. Although it is excusable, the damage caused cannot be undone. After each other recognized their hearts, he really made improvements in many aspects. Qing Yue also responded after seeing it. This is proof that the two of them have been together through hardships 😢 I also want to talk about Qingyue. Qingyue is a girl with a cold appearance and a distance from others, but a weak and tough heart. The reason why she is like this is that she is kind-hearted but needs a kind of alienation to protect herself in a certain external environment 😢 Qingyue is really a very good, very good girl 😢 Although the score is not high now, the author please don't give up on them, don't give up on us, and don't give up on yourself! (Only my personal opinion [sending my heart])
The author's writing is online, and the heroine is smart and decisive, with superb medical skills and resourcefulness. The male protagonist is very contrasting and even plays a trumpet!!! The early stages are full of tension, I love watching it. The plot line and emotional line are very exciting, I didn't expect it to be so unpopular. I want to watch the extras, I want to see the sweet daily love life [send my heart]
