    Personally, I think it's a niche genre. I feel like not many people enjoy reading this kind of grotesque story. The protagonist is an ordinary person who grows into a powerful character later on, suffering a lot along the way. The overall writing style is slightly angsty. There are quite a few ruthless characters in it. The pairing in the third book isn't as obvious, while the pairings in the first and second books are more pronounced. I like finding pairings even in books without explicit pairings. They're all by the same author, mainly because I really like his writing style and his characters. It's really a matter of personal preference; if you don't like it, move on.

    Reader note

    The character is uncommon; she's a comedic, fragile girl who, after dying as a cockroach, transmigrates into the body of a supporting female character. She ends up at the home of her online boyfriend's boss. Being an orphan is pitiful enough, but when she learns her boss isn't planning to give her compensation, she's furious and wants revenge. To make matters worse, her boss takes her to a meeting—it's like working like a dog and then having to attend meetings. She overhears her work partner having an affair with the boss, and she doesn't know what to do. Her morals and values, distorted by the growing feelings, become so twisted that she's speechless. What should she do?

    This is an amnesia trope. The female lead has completely different personalities before and after losing her memory. After losing her memory, she's gentle and witty; after regaining her memories, she's cold-blooded, powerful, and vengeful. She sends anyone who tries to kill her to prison, and she stabs the male lead in the heart for lying to him—she won't tolerate any injustice. Yet, she remains exceptionally kind, always ready to help others, and even treats the second female lead with empathy and understanding. Overall, it's a very good female lead story. The author has given the female lead many enviable advantages.
