It's not bad; the author listens to feedback and revises the wording. The plot is also quite interesting. However, the character portrayals are too stereotypical, so I'm deducting one star. Every time a female ghost appears, there's an emphasis on her good figure and what type of beauty she is. Since they're all ghosts, the focus should be on describing her strength. The human-like physical descriptions could have been omitted; it feels similar to male-oriented novels.
It's great! (♥∀♥) I'm really looking forward to the female lead's growth. It's so satisfying to see her gradually grow stronger and enjoy life. The pacing is also excellent. The friendliness between neighbors and the interactions between friends are handled very well. It feels like I've learned about many characters, but not through extensive descriptions of the female lead's life.
The name matches, it's about working. The writing is very "everyday," making me look forward to seeing something a little more unsettling. I don't like the descriptions. This is supposed to be a female-centric story from a female perspective, right? What are you writing?!
It's well-written, with a compelling plot and excellent writing style. The only drawback is that I like the ABB format names; I understand the author's personal preference, but ABB is now so classic that it's become a symbol of weakness. However, the story is still enjoyable without any particularly egregious plot points. I hope for continued updates.
The plot is alright, but it contains a lot of stereotypical descriptions.
Okay, I'll give it five stars as encouragement, after all, the author has worked hard. I feel the book's positioning is unclear. First, the protagonist is a supernatural being, but she doesn't have any truly independent abilities. The first instance is the one at Mo Yaoyao's house, where she gains a powerful best friend for free.
It's pretty good. The plot is novel, and the dungeons are okay. However, there are some descriptions of the female ghost's figure. I think that since she's a dungeon boss, appearance isn't that important. Strength is what matters. There are also some insulting words directed at women, but the author will change them. Overall, the plot is coherent, the dungeons are interesting, and the relationship between the female lead and Mo Yaoyao is also good.
"Urging to Compose a Poem" I admire your magnificent writing, my heart pounding with longing. I recall the initial astonishment upon reading it, like a refreshing spring breeze. The exquisite language is like draping myself in brocade. Each time I unroll the book, I ponder deeply, often forgetting to eat or drink. Suddenly, I stop writing, leaving many of us bewildered.
Wow, author, your writing is truly amazing! The protagonist is weak at the beginning, but he doesn't suffer any injustices, which is incredibly satisfying. Plus, the theme is fresh and original. Good!
I really love this book! The protagonist isn't very strong at the beginning, but he grows stronger later on. Every strange creature he encounters has its own unique characteristics. Yao Yao is so cute! Also, author, please update!
