My Only Dealbreaker Is Bad Prose
Some fun stories. If we have similar tastes, recommend books to me! I like girls with strong agency who love stirring up trouble. S-type girlies are simply supreme.

By “strong women,” I mean women who are self-reliant and persevere, whatever the setting, and ultimately forge their own paths. Some entries include comments on male characters because they're grouped with other books on the same list, so I had to put everything in one review.

When will Shu Ning be able to write another hot-blooded teenage comic novel with an upgraded heroine... (Can Shamate be restarted?
Samsung. Please read it quickly if it contains spoilers. — I can give four stars to the content of Qiao Wan before she lost her memory. It is a passionate and upgrading flow of young people. The protagonist interviews and complains about the slaves. It is easy and smooth to read. There are also chapters that describe the stories of small characters in detail. I especially like the ghost market dungeon, the story of Boss Yan and the soldiers of Fufeng Valley. As for the plot after amnesia, the rhythm of the article is very weird. The place names mentioned in the Xiuxian Sect's tactical arrangements are complex and boring. They have never been mentioned before, and it is difficult to imagine the pictures and empathy. The description of Pei Chunzheng's wedding in The Demon Realm is also very sloppy. The tension between the characters seems to have disappeared. Why did Xue Yunxiao help? His motivation. Is there a story about him being a child at the time? His appearance was too much like a tool man. What did Pei Chunzheng do after Qiao Wan escaped from the marriage? No, he disappeared directly until the final battle. After Qiao Wan's flying boat was intercepted in the North, a group of people he met wanted to take a turn when they saw that Qiao Wan was a girl. If it were not Qiao Wan but other people with no force value, this group of criminals would be a sure thing. This is also the point where I felt very uncomfortable after seeing the description of them fighting side by side and talking about benevolence, justice and morality. Furthermore, Mu Xiaoxiao's fate, the disciples who were trapped in the mud rock secret realm, Qiao Wan who was trapped outside the secret realm, the disciples who were killed together with the turkeys, and the mother and daughter who were let down when living on the streets, no one here has the opportunity to "grow up". Giving Mu Xiaoxiao the opportunity to grow up at this time is a privilege in itself. Her life was a bit miserable later, but isn't she still alive? In the end, Master Yuqing was manipulated. This ending is really unfair. In addition, Wanmei said in the early stage that she would help Senior Brother Lu cure his illness, but later asked the evil Buddha but couldn't cure it, and then decided to find a solution on her own. In the end, she scrawled and blamed it on Cen Er and ended with a sentence; Feng Zhao was judged as the enemy in the Battle of Fufeng Valley, the main target of revenge in the ghost market, and the person who made Xiaofang into a puppet. The ending was also very messy, and he didn't even show up, and Boss Yan's matter was settled; the relationship between Cen Er and the Blue Eyes Evil Buddha, why he was able to suppress the Blue Eyes Evil Buddha after fusion, whether the Blue Eyes Evil Buddha was conscious, how he had been a double agent all these years, and what happened to his eldest brother? Does he know that his parents are divorced? How did he snatch the amnesiac Qiao Wan from Mei Kangping and where did he hide it? Why did he finally abandon her in the desert? How did Qiao Wan remember it again? Where did Xie Xingzhi's "no mercy" funny attribute go? What happened to Xiao Huan and the Xiao family? It's all set... Anyway, it's all kinds of things, some holes were not filled in, and the ending felt hastily written. The author also said that due to lack of writing power, he did not write the battle between Miaofa and Shiyuan, so the final big boss showed up and was taken advantage of as soon as he came out, and it has endless tool attributes. In the later stages, a lot of theoretical descriptions suddenly popped up that were completely unmentioned in the previous article, which made it tiring to watch and also interrupted the flow of the plot.
Although it has been a long time, I think I should write this comment Qiao Wan is the heroism of my girlhood, and Teacher Shuning, I am very grateful to you for creating this world. Wanmei is a child who is allowed by you to get up after failure. I have been very, very anxious before seeing Wanmei. Failure and making mistakes have been a complete taboo in my more than ten years of life. It was you and Wanmei who gave me the courage to make mistakes. The dialogue between Jia Ying and Mu Xiaoxiao [Love is respect, understanding and tolerance] [Love is also selfishness and possessiveness], as well as the relationship between Wan Mei and Miao Fa, have rewritten my view of love. I saw Miaofa's respect and appreciation for Wanmei, I saw Wanmei's growing admiration after being rejected, I saw the girl in pink holding a sword under the bodhi tree, and I saw her kissing the head that she had cut off with her own hands. I also see that you respect Wanmei's own choice. Whether it's Miao Wan's love or the affection between you and Wan Mei, I understand from the bottom of my heart - love comes first with respect and then with possession.
When "White Moonlight" Mu Xiaoxiao returned to the Kunshan School in glory, Qiao Wan, the "shadow" who had been a shadow for several years, finally experienced the collapse of his identity. Shu Ning's "Being a White Moonlight Stand" opens with the most poignant "stand-in dilemma", but it does not fall into the cliché of love entanglement. Instead, it unfolds a passionate picture of the heroine Qiao Wan stumbling and growing up in the world of cultivation and breaking away from labels, making "living for yourself" the spiritual core throughout. The most subtle breakthrough of this book lies in the reconstruction of "substitute literature". Different from the humble forbearance or love-minded counterattack of traditional stand-in novels, Qiao Wan's awakening is filled with sober anger and determination. From being regarded as a substitute for Mu Xiaoxiao by her teacher, enduring the comparison of "not as good as the original", to being completely ignored after Bai Yueguang's return, she did not fall into the quagmire of self-denial, but decisively "turned off the table and walked down the mountain", using the sentence "I will not do this substitute" to draw a line with the past. This clarity makes her growth path extremely tense - she is not a dodder saved by the male protagonist, but a lonely warrior who "grows up in the beatings". From an ignorant monk in the Qi refining period to a strong man who can stand alone, every breakthrough is stained with blood and tears, but it also reveals the tenacity of "it doesn't matter if the bones are broken and the flesh is stuck to the flesh, and you can slowly get up again". The three-dimensionality of character creation is another highlight of this book. The heroine Qiao Wan is by no means a perfect protagonist. She has a sandy air, can be wronged and angry, but always adheres to the Taoist heart. In the secret realm of the Demon King, she "turns bones into shields and pulls out bones into soldiers", and rectifies her name with her strength at the Three Religions Discussion Conference. In the end, the world will remember "Qiao Wan" instead of "Mu Xiaoxiao's stand-in". Mu Xiaoxiao, as "White Moonlight", breaks out of the flat "evil female supporting role" frame: her innocence is tinged with unconscious cruelty, and her sense of superiority after her return turns into disaster, until she finally takes off the disguise and faces her own bad nature. The trajectory of her blackening and transformation is delicate and real, making the complexity of human nature come to life. The male protagonist, Master Miaofa, hit the reader's fancy with his "cold and majestic yet hidden gentleness" character. His support was never a condescending charity, but a respect for Qiao Wan's independent personality. The emotional lines completed in the extra make this feeling more sincere and touching. In addition, supporting characters such as the eldest brother who is indifferent on the surface but is silently dedicated, Gan Nan who has always been a coward but finally tried to change his brother-killing and ascended the throne, Ma Huaizhen who is mean-tongued but extremely protective of his shortcomings, etc., Together form a vivid group portrait, giving Qiao Wan a warm background in his growth path. The discussion of "self-worth" in the book runs throughout the plot. When Qiao Wan was in the Kunshan School, even if he worked harder, he could only live in the shadow of others. Master Zhou Yan's partiality even broke the illusion of "equal treatment" - he would destroy Qiao Wan's foundation for Mu Xiaoxiao, but forgot the antidote when Qiao Wan was poisoned. After going down the mountain, she finally understood that true value is never defined by others: she relied on her own strength to win allies, and her tenacity to resolve crises, and finally transformed from a "fake" into a "savior of the world of cultivation", proving with her actions that "the person who gains respect is always called Qiao Wan." This emphasis on individual subjectivity gives the coming-of-age story in the context of cultivating immortality a more universal resonance. Of course, the work is not without flaws. The amnesia plot added later is a bit confusing, and the hastily introduced modern warfare, nuclear bombs and other elements are out of touch with the cultivation background, which inevitably gives people the abrupt feeling of "too much imagination but not enough writing power". But the flaws do not hide the merits. The author breaks the shackles of traditional cultivation novels with a "non-realm theory" setting, and uses a "pseudo-teenage romance" narrative to make the plot of leapfrogging monsters and overturning the situation full of excitement. The relaxed and moderate rhythm can intersperse daily warmth in the tense plot and relieve the reading pressure. For readers who like "substitute counterattack" and "growth and cultivation of immortality", "Becoming a White Moonlight Substitute" is undoubtedly a work worth reading. It may have the frankness of a "little white routine", but it uses Qiao Wan's history of blood and tears to tell the most touching truth: the real light is never to imitate others, but to still choose to break free from the shackles and live as one's own sun after recognizing the situation clearly. Just like Qiao Wan's determination when she jumped off Taixu Peak - no one can look down on her, because her value has always been written only by herself.
I have collected this book since 2020, and I have read other novels until halfway through. I have also read other novels by Shu Ning, but this is the first novel by Shu Ning that I have read because the book is too long, so I didn't finish it. Only recently did I have the opportunity to read the whole book. She has her own beliefs and friends. She will not give up when encountering difficulties. She is very tenacious. She gave me a lot of strength. After reading this, I still feel empty in my heart. I always feel that it should not end like this. I should write out all the days in the future. After all, I spent a lot of time with Qiao Wan. This book does not write many emotional lines. This is what I want to see. The development of Qiao Wan as the main subject. Thank you Mao Ning for creating the image of Qiao Wan. She is flesh and blood. She is like my friend and partner. I seem to have followed her into this world of immortality, accompanying her on adventure after adventure and sharing every happiness and sorrow with her. But the story has to end here. Although I am reluctant to leave, I hope that Qiao Wan and all the friends who appear in the book will be happy and safe in another world. Thank you Shu Ning. I saw some of your reflections and criticisms at the end of each chapter. You really wrote this novel with your heart. I wish your writing will get better and better. I will come to rewrite this novel. I also want to accompany Qiao Wan to live this legendary life again.
I read this article during the epidemic, which left a great shock to me as a junior high school student at the time. Six years later, I still have great insights when I read it again, and I still shed tears because of the friendship, family affection and love in the story. Thank you Shu Ning for making this story come to life, and thank you for warming me up many times.
The first person I fell in love with was the female supporting role dressed as cannon fodder in a danmei novel, and I fell madly in love with her. Later, I read some other novels one after another, but I always felt that I couldn't get enough of them. Then suddenly one day I came across this one while scrolling through Douyin, and I immediately read it. I didn't expect it to be so good. Qiao Wan is simply the heroine in my mind. Author, I love you so much, Li Ning, I love you so much. I like every character in your works, especially in the finale with the decisive battle between the demons and the dragons, bang. The part about helping Wan Ning fight against the demons and protecting her own people in the world of immortality is really very real. This is what a real person would consider. It's not like other novels. My language is too lacking. Anyway, I really like it. I love you, Qiao Wan.
A pot of uncooked rice is neither satisfying nor deep enough. Why do you still discriminate against women after you have become immortals? Does long × long d affect the cultivation of immortality? I didn't see this setting? There are only a few main female characters except for the heroine and the stupid tool-man female supporting role. Wang Ruyi is also a fool with a love brain, and women like Jiang Rouxue Shi'er who cultivate the world of immortality live as resentful wives in the old society. Is this reasonable? There are a lot of men in the main characters, and they don't even have a harem. Pei Zhen is so stupid and cheap that he makes people grow knotty. You can definitely choose one of the two young masters, Xiao Boyang, and change it to a female character, and the layout of the story will be much bigger. The struggle between monks and demons is like playing. So many people died, but Mei Xiang and Su Rui were not liquidated by the monks? Are you kidding? His ability to jump around is as funny as the old Nozomi Tojo's ability to live. The introduction of some modern weapons and ideas doesn't do much. The main plot is also a long story of more than one million words, with a hammer in one direction and a stick in the other. The plot is very compact until the heroine leaves the school, and there are many inexplicable turns later. There is also an amnesia killing episode at the end which is also very confusing. Shu Ning's romances are all very good, and this book has obvious advantages and disadvantages. The first part on the mountain is really well written, but it's a pity that the plot behind it can't keep up. If you just want to write a romance harem, the writing is completely sufficient. If you want to write a story with far-reaching and grand ideas, there is still a lot to be done.
After ordering it all, I wanted to rate it but I found that I couldn't rate the locked article. The whole article made me look like a crazy concubine in the cold palace. . . . .
The author's writing is really good. If those trolls don't want to read it, just go away. Don't talk nonsense here. Just bother those trolls.
