    The novel's plot is well-structured and easy to read. The characters' emotions are portrayed realistically, making them vivid and compelling. Although many in the comments section criticize the male lead, I genuinely find him very charismatic. Other novels only vaguely depict the male lead's abilities, but this author clearly demonstrates Fu Jingchuan's wisdom, rationality, logical thinking, keen insight, and strong problem-solving skills through concrete examples, giving the reader a sense of security. His aloofness, domineering nature, and assertiveness are also plus points for me. The lower rating is probably due to the author's slow update speed, which might discourage readers from continuing. However, the story is nearing its end, so you can read on without worry. Overall, it's a very enjoyable and satisfying read.
