After spending most of her life scraping by in n high-risk worlds, she finally landed a new job she was happy with.

[Discontinued] Sigh, I don't even have room for this book anymore. Actually, I wanted to praise it, but there were too many scenes of the female lead having sex with men, so I couldn't continue. The following is not a record of my feelings about dropping the book. (The distinction between "new article" and "old article" is based on "dribbling"; "dribbling" was the first article by Fan Yuetai that I read.) I'd skimmed through Fan Yuetai's older works before; they seemed like typical romance novels, so I wasn't particularly motivated. Recently, however, I suddenly wanted to get to know the author's work more comprehensively, so I decided to start a sweep of her works from 2023. So far, I've swept and dropped "My Beloved Wife," "The Upper Class," and "The Period of Pampering," until I came across this one and immediately stopped reading. (Later, I also read "Slaying Peach Blossoms" and "Controlling My Husband," but dropped those too.) Overall, most of them are indeed very romantic, but what's different is that they use unconventional emotional patterns and character settings within the traditional romance narrative. Most unexpectedly, although Fan Yuetai's older works focused more on the male characters and emotional entanglements, the female lead's portrayal was actually more grounded than it is now. The details of the female lead's character in her earlier works were so vivid; they all faced setbacks at the beginning, but were incredibly resilient, optimistic, pragmatic, quick-witted, and determined to seize every opportunity—super proactive girls. This is especially evident in "Forgive Her," where Mars's portrayal is so vibrant. There's no grand narrative or dramatic tension, but you can completely be moved by the female lead in those details. She's like a little calf—bright, brave, and full of drive. With that kind of intelligence, energy, and courage, she'll succeed anywhere. Unfortunately, this part is largely missing in the new story. The female protagonist's agency is lazily omitted with a systematic worldview. Her every effort and struggle, her calculations and assessments for survival and voyages, are mostly covered up by strong settings. The character traits that should be reflected in the details are simply summarized by repetitive labels like "honest" and "high-energy." If I hadn't read the old story, I wouldn't have noticed. The highlight of Fan Yuetai's character was the vibrant life force leaping off the page, the solid flesh and blood, the simple yet passionate texture. It feels like a large part of it has been replaced by jokes and memes. I'm glad I didn't know; I felt resentful after reading it. Another key reason I like this book is its story-driven approach. While other older novels revolve around the relationship between the female lead and the male supporting character, the driving force of *Forgive Her* is the female lead's personal storyline, and it seems there will be an even broader career arc later on. The number of female characters is also greater than in other Fan Yuetai novels I've read. The other older novels are too traditional romance, with more male characters and more development. While the newer novels don't focus as much on individual male characters, they're constantly being presented, resulting in a large number of male characters and thus a significant amount of screen time. Even though you can sense the author's intention to include more female characters besides the main and potential main characters, they're simply squeezed out of space. Only in *Forgive Her* do you truly see the intended presentation achieved with these distractions reduced. The female characters are rich and interesting, and the relationships between the female lead and these other female characters are very moving. The female lead's busy struggle to earn a living when she has nothing in the early stages, and the emotional connections she has with the other female characters, repeatedly brought me to tears. It feels like this book has the beginnings of a plot-driven narrative. (But the male characters are really annoying...)

I was shoved out of my seat when I opened the first chapter. Those who hold the theory that "not being able to date male characters is bad for female players" are even more humorous when combined with the comments. I've never seen female agency manifested in being able to freely date two-dimensional male characters. It feels like this group of people criticize female characters for being attractive to men when the game is unfair to them, thus demanding the addition of male characters. This overlaps too much with the image of cyberpunk abortion enthusiasts, giving me a bit of a shock.

I feel like the only Fan Yuetai novel I can actually read is "Running Away with a Baby." Before that, it seems more traditional romance, and later, like this one, the female lead's storyline is scattered and understated, constantly being developed. I've only read 14 chapters, and there are already three male characters whose development has progressed. "Running Away with a Baby" only mainly focuses on three male supporting characters. In harem novels, once there are too many male characters, it's difficult to balance the female lead's storyline with the male characters' focus, inevitably diluting the female lead's importance.

The initial forum post, with its sense of anticipation for the fourth catastrophe, was quite intriguing. However, the subsequent discussion of the entertainment industry was downright insulting. The protagonist plans to gain fame through association with celebrities, avoiding female stars because of their strong fanbases, considering male stars because they might be perceived as mere bodyguards, and rejecting male stars altogether because they risk attracting drug addicts. Finally, after gaining fame by associating with a married couple, the protagonist's "sister-in-law" is stolen by a male celebrity fan... Ugh, this is the ultimate fantasy for fangirls! Honestly, while associating with female stars might draw criticism from their fans, it does gain wider recognition and praise from the general public. Associating with male stars is completely ignored; exposure from male stars' activities is purely for fandom self-indulgence. Male celebrities also have far more and stronger fanbases than dedicated fans. Associating with male stars yields nothing but insults from male fans and won't gain any real fame. Since no one cares except for dedicated fans, there's no chance of drug addicts. And what kind of absurd thing is a male star's fan stealing his "sister-in-law"? Help! This sounds like the daydream of a self-proclaimed idol fangirl fan who fantasizes about being universally loved and manipulated by drug addicts.

Curator note
The novel features numerous vivid descriptions of the female protagonist, and the character settings are quite cheesy. The premise of a male protagonist having children, essentially a tool for stealing women, is already a significant drawback. While I could accept the story of Fan Yuetai running away with a child because it constantly emphasized the female protagonist's strong reproductive abilities, this novel's female protagonist is portrayed as someone born to be a breeding tool. The objectification and absurd gaze are undeniable. Furthermore, the deciding factor in who gives birth is who is stronger, which implies the female protagonist is always weak… The female protagonists in Ma Tong's novels all have rather unique personalities, but there are always plot points related to Xingyuan that make readers feel frustrated or uncomfortable. I usually give up after reading a short or long section, and I haven't finished a single one yet.

(Although it's not entirely because I'm abandoning the novel, I'll still move this post to the Red Stone Records section since there are many recommendations for super-satisfying novels.) The problems don't stop at the derogatory language and subtle misogynistic elements... Apparently, this book also features the female kidnapper. While having a woman among the predominantly male perpetrators might be acceptable, the punishment is the same "tit-for-tat" approach: selling her to an old bachelor wanting a child. The story even elaborates on the forced scenes and the protagonist's despair. Sexual humiliation, sexual exploitation, and reproductive exploitation are all present. There were other methods, and this wasn't even used to torture the male perpetrators throughout the book. The male villains who also trafficked women and forced them into prostitution weren't treated this way either. It's utterly ridiculous. Sigh, reading an author without awareness is like walking on an unprotected Via Ferrata—you never know when you'll suddenly slip and fall. The main problem is the use of derogatory terms (profanity) in the text. The author used these terms as commas (though this can be tolerated given it's from 2021), and the author's intentions are almost nonexistent. The advantages are that she's truly the darling of the group; the female lead is truly favored by heaven, the world's will's beloved daughter, possessing an impeccable top-tier family background, the favoritism of everyone (except the pursuer), a strong physique, invincible combat power, and most importantly—an extremely strong sense of self and an extremely high level of ego. She only finds fault with others, relentlessly draining their resources. No matter what adversity the pursuer faces, it has no effect on the female lead, because she can always make the situation her own, easily tormenting the pursuer to the point of near death. (She's also quite the character, freely creating her own world [sprinkling flowers]) I love the description of the female lead's appearance in the text: "Fu Baoning's beauty wasn't the graceful and gentle kind that people praise, but rather a vibrant and energetic kind. Her phoenix eyes were long and sharp, and her whole demeanor was striking and flamboyant. She didn't resemble the flower often used to describe a beautiful woman; she was more like a lively little leopard." Who wouldn't love a female lead who's as strong as an ox, can send someone flying three steps with a single punch, and then knock Si Nan down with three punches! So adorable! (It was only after reading this book that I realized a previous novel I read on Tomato Bookstore was plagiarized from this one. The book was called "Becoming a True Heiress, Going Mad and Selling Out Everyone," and the core plot was exactly the same. Much of the text was barely changed. However, that book was much more sinister than this one. The premise was that all the men who tried to seduce the female lead were heinous villains, but the first kidnapper and the second bully were women, while the third and fourth were men. At the time, I found the premise of all the systems siding with the female lead and helping her torture the men quite novel, and I thought that maybe later...) There were more men, and the fifth villain turned out to be a stereotypical, love-struck female lead from a sadomasochistic novel? Leaving aside the fact that this kind of female character is a product of the creator's malice, and is a victim of misogyny herself, how can she be compared to the previous "evil" characters? They even said this idiot lowered the overall quality of the villain group, which disgusted me so much that I dropped the book. Furthermore, the author and other characters in that other book didn't love the female lead as much as this one, and the background setup included a favored fake heiress and a wealthy younger brother. It had all the typical awful villains from Tomato's lowbrow writing, and it lacked Fu Baoning's invincible fighting skills. The modern parts are even funnier.

The beginning was alright, a hilarious and quirky story about a charming and popular character, it was quite funny. Around chapter 20, it started to have some serious romance, and the author's portrayal of the male characters was overly romantic.

The first skill involves sacrificing a mother at the very beginning. It's so annoying that the mother either dies in childbirth or from illness at the start, while the father is still alive and well. Later on, there will inevitably be scenes of the mother helping the father, being pampered by the father, and being respected/status because of the father, etc. This kind of thing happens more frequently in ancient Chinese novels, probably because in "realism," only the father can give power in ancient times, so they try to weaken the mother's presence as much as possible, and it's best to tie some of the "maternal role" to the father as well. In order to "remove the mother" and make the kinship between the father and the protagonist stronger and more unique, they use all sorts of methods. But when I saw the initial setting, I was just resentful but hadn't given up on the story yet. I was still thinking that maybe it was just a stereotype, or maybe it was just a means to an end and wouldn't be described in detail. Then, a few chapters later, another huge mess happened. Seriously, author, you're something else! In the original story, the female lead was just a burden to the original male lead, providing resources, saving people, working herself to the bone building infrastructure and making money, supposedly "helping the original male lead unify the world." I saw this useless character, she did all the work, and ended up as an empress, while the original male lead happily ruled the land. Now, the reborn woman has stolen her man and learned about the original story from the system. I thought she'd finally understand she had to rely on herself and control everything, but then she turns around and tells her father everything about her food-obtaining abilities and her past life's plot… I can't take it anymore! Her excuse is that she doesn't understand this world, and her father is old and a good strategist, so he knows a lot and can do a lot. How ridiculous! This is a female empress story! If the female lead doesn't know something, can't you let her learn? Does she plan to never learn? This is absurd! The reliance is on the belief that the other party will do everything in their power to help him because he has no other children. I remember clicking on the "Battle for Supremacy" channel, not the "Loving Father and Daughter" channel! With such a huge benefit right in front of him, he actually believes in the kinship of someone he's barely known for more than a few days. "Even if she isn't Jin Mingtang's daughter, Jin Mingtang would still treat her well for the sake of food, let alone the fact that she is Jin Mingtang's biological daughter and his only child." What kind of nonsense is this? Such a crucial trump card, such a huge perpetual motion machine of benefit, and he doesn't tell others while he's developing and growing stronger? If he's going to write something realistic, he'll be used as a prop. The author is truly stupid. They should have just killed off the father and let the female lead inherit his power. No wonder the original plot, which included everything from the previous life's millstone-pulling to the original male lead, was supposedly a comparison to the present, but it's just their perception. After hearing the original plot, the female lead realized it matched her own experience, the only difference being the system she has in this life. Then, they immediately told her everything. I feel that if this weren't a female emperor novel, I might have been able to tolerate it and see if there would be an explanation later. But the historical setting is one where people are so starved that they resort to cannibalism, and humans are reduced to two-legged sheep. The female lead's food cheat is a world-changing cheat, and they just tell everyone about it, claiming they don't understand and don't believe it! I've even seen a plot similar to a lucky charm novel in a female emperor novel! It's so ridiculous, it made me laugh in anger.

This story is incredibly awkward… I'm not talking about the female lead's character being awkward, but rather the author's portrayal of her. While the female lead is supposed to be self-centered, the author couldn't figure out how to make her universally liked, so they added a lot of altruism to her interactions with others. While reading, one moment I found the arrogant and mischievous "King Yao Yao" quite adorable, and the next I was frustrated by her contradictory yet considerate nature. It was a limbo, and this part of the plot even made me imagine a kind of unintentional, but always beneficial, "blood-donating" lucky charm female lead, which felt completely out of place with the author's intended character. Especially since the main focus of the story is on relationships with siblings, but the female characters are incredibly few. There are five men and two women, and the majority of the screen time is devoted to the five men. The two women only appear briefly. One of them, with a slightly larger role, is being groomed as an heir but yearns for pretty clothes, sweets, and pink – very stereotypical things. I followed this awkward story for a few more days, but after feeling uncomfortable again, I decided to drop it.

Every time a high-ranking male character appears, they use those classic romance novel techniques to build up their character, add cheesy details, and try so hard to make them all bewitching, it makes me incredibly uncomfortable.

Speaking of romance variety shows, this one comes to mind. I generally dislike watching people date, so I don't enjoy them, whether in real life or in novels. However, some shows with compelling plots will tempt me to take a look, just to avoid missing out on the unexpected twists. This one was pretty good in the beginning; the female lead was witty and sarcastic, and the guests were all scheming and just there for fame, none of them genuinely interested in dating. The female lead's witty banter and quick thinking were very satisfying, and the men were thoroughly outmatched. But then a guy with a sharp tongue, just like the female lead, appeared around chapter 30. They had a lot of scenes involving the two of them, a powerful duo with an arrogant couple name, and even some out-of-character (OOC) romance scenes where the female lead was completely bewildered. Seriously, I was speechless. Why didn't you say so earlier? I thought it was an unconventional story, but it turned out to be an unconventional couple. Some authors write about something different, only to create a backdrop for their unique couple. Even though they wrote so much, it's just because they were willing to spend 30 chapters on the background.

Because it was adapted into a TV series, I sent most of my complaints to my friends via private message. I read 60 chapters with the mindset of at least finishing one unit; normally, I couldn't read more than a few pages of this story, I just couldn't continue. I'd seen some recommendations from other fans in familiar places, and the reviews mostly praised the female lead, assuming she had a good character and an interesting growth arc. But let me tell you, if you're looking for that, don't get your hopes up. The female lead is described as "spoiled," "arrogant," and "naive," while the main and supporting characters are described as "geniuses," "unruly," "detached from worldly affairs," and "powerful figures in the martial arts world." Furthermore, the character logic is quite inconsistent. One moment she's portrayed as experienced and worldly intrigue, the next she seems completely clueless, even bordering on stupid and naive. It feels like when they try to emphasize her "naivety" and "purity," they cripple her abilities and strength. While she's skilled in riding, archery, and martial arts, she's completely incapable of self-defense; this is essentially just a setup to tie her to the male lead, give him a role in protecting her, and create romantic moments and highlights for the pairing. In the first case, the female protagonist basically had no room to maneuver. The author verbally described her as a versatile and strong woman, but she never achieved anything. On the contrary, the male protagonist had several scenes of showing off. It's typical that the female protagonist's behavior, cognition, and growth were sacrificed for the romantic storyline (and the male protagonist's character development). I even feel that many settings were designed to deprive the female protagonist of her strengths as much as possible, and then put her in the male protagonist's area of expertise, completely ignorant and without any knowledge or resources. In this situation, any fancy descriptions of how amazing the male protagonist is are just typical romance novel techniques. This author definitely has a Nanning fetish, and loves to emphasize the heroine's softness and fragility. The description of the heroine's corpse is "delicate body," and the author makes extensive use of images such as shyness and fragility. Moreover, the author is quite vulgar, and writes about three or four completely unnecessary instances of sexual harassment (towards the heroine). There's the scene where the heroine's breast is pinched during the city gate inspection, there's the scene where a man who likes corpses tells the heroine that it's a pity she's not a corpse, there's the scene where a street ruffian tries to take advantage of the chaos at a vegetarian gathering to "kiss her." There's also a scene where a male official smells the borneol used by the women in the palace and says that it's a fragrance that only the most noble female relatives can use, and that smelling this fragrance can give you a night of erotic dreams. There's even a scene where the heroine dresses up and tries to use her beauty to seduce and drive a man, and this man is actually fantasizing about the heroine because he smells the fragrance on her body. The author is very "traditional," rigid, and lacks any sense of self. I prefer to emphasize the heroine's coquettishness, pride, and sexual attributes, and I prefer to emphasize the hero's strength and chivalry. There's a lot of romance, but I think the plot is quite weak. It's not really plot-driven; the mystery is minimal, almost nonexistent. The cases are presented in a way that essentially tells a story at the end. Most of the time, it focuses on the male and female leads, and even more so on their dialogue, their mindsets, and their responses—it's almost a two-person comedy act. For a romance novel, it has a relatively solid plot foundation. It created two characters, wrote about their actions, and then built their experiences and episodic stories around them. From a cinematic perspective, the advantage is that the main characters are very deeply involved. The disadvantages are numerous, too many to list. Anyway, whoever wants to take it can take it; I'm not allowed to take it solo. CP fans, don't curse me to be single!

The fact that the female protagonist [in the game] (emphasis on this!) Is blind and hard of hearing is really hard for me to accept. Nearsightedness can be corrected with glasses, and hearing loss with hearing aids. These things aren't a problem if there are surreal or high-tech elements, but making these debuffs a constant makes me feel like the author intentionally wrote the female protagonist as disabled. The meaning is unclear, and it feels like it's for some plot point later on.

I don't know if it's because I'm currently sick, but reading this made me feel extremely uncomfortable. This is the type of female empress novel I dislike the most. The lack of real power at the beginning isn't the problem; the problem is that she's surrounded by male ministers from the start—noble, arrogant, and unfathomable—all written like male guests. And the first male supporting character is only helped by the female lead and then falls for her unrequitedly. "A young girl's feelings are budding; all she needs is to lend her a helping hand when facing an excited crowd. A moment of warmth is enough for her to carefully nurture this feeling and cherish it for many years." But then, due to concerns about the consequences, she has to stop. This setup is incredibly pathetic and suffocating from any perspective. If it were just the original owner's feelings, the novel also includes the female lead's perspective: "It's okay..." She wasn't particularly moved to begin with; it was just a fleeting moment of amazement, hardly an unbearable loss. The second male supporting character, a powerful imperial guard commander from a wealthy family, dared to storm the main hall against the female lead for his male friend. The third male supporting character, the Grand Tutor, could directly suppress the female lead and even instill fear in her. Each character is accompanied by extensive descriptions of the allure of the Apricot Garden. Again, it's not that I can't accept a hellish start; I can't accept this temporary reversal of fortune, the female lead's concessions and self-preservation. It's all for the sake of writing various male guests and various Star Element modes. I can't accept these early mini-bosses riding roughshod over the female lead. They're a bunch of male supporting characters with Star Element tendencies. The more I talk about it, the angrier I get; I'm really having a craving for castration.

It's highly likely that the male supporting character will have a huge amount of screen time. The first few chapters focus more on his strength than on the female lead, even showing him alongside her in the event of having his talent hidden due to birth poisoning. What kind of level is this, sharing the "chosen one" treatment with the female lead? While the premise should be a strong male and strong female, there's far too much emphasis on the male lead, plus the off-screen CP-shipping forum style. Who wants to read that? And it's obvious that there will be a ton of male characters later on.

The comedic style, the power struggle starting with the court's henchmen, and a bit of the expected harem intrigue initially attracted me. However, the livestream chat room where the female lead relies on for survival is filled with comments about lusting after men. The sickly male supporting character keeps saying that the female lead is already amazing just because she's a woman, blah blah blah. The female lead herself uses the term "breastfeeding woman" and gets banned, then gets angry. The female lead genuinely condemns her adoptive father for "favoring his concubine over his wife" (good heavens, is this the kind of inner monologue a female lead in a power struggle drama should have?), And her kind adoptive mother even dies because of it… I was prepared for a lot of romance, but I was still too unprepared.

The writing gets worse and worse, and the plot is incredibly cheesy.

The female lead in Su Sanshao's novels suffers greatly because she lacks primary sexual status. She endures the hardships of life, is served in the entertainment industry, and then uses her connections to live off others. In traditional male-dominated societies, if the female lead isn't primary sexual, she's left with only the suffering of both life and entertainment, being forced to serve others. While the author might use a "spiritual victory" narrative, the forced and subservient aspects are still blatantly portrayed and impossible to ignore. Then, the female lead is tormented by the male supporting character's melodramatic emotional manipulations, constantly on the verge of destruction. I'm really getting angry!

I noticed the name has been changed. Just to clarify, the original name was "I Was a Trader in Oslo [1990s]". The title itself was pretty cheesy, but I still read it a couple of times because I'd never seen the subject matter before. There was the term "breasted woman," and the female lead was written in a rather sassy, mature style. The first character I interacted with kept mentioning how sexually attractive the female lead was to him, including things like the slight rise and fall of her chest—it was really... Unbelievable. There were also multiple instances of a Russian swear word, describing how intimidating it was for the female lead to say it. This word appeared several more times later on. After seeing an old woman (a positive character) use the word to confront a con artist, and the female lead even seemed somewhat impressed, I couldn't help but look it up. Turns out it means "bitch" or "female dog." I just couldn't stand it.

The protagonist is too immersed in the transmigration worlds. The severity of the predicaments isn't emphasized enough, but the protagonist's mindset seems suppressed, making it feel like they're wasting a lot of time and energy struggling with problems that could easily be solved. It's really frustrating and disheartening to watch. The author's plot is very rough, with many plot holes that aren't explained. The female lead's character is vague. Being too immersed means she seems to be partially assimilated by the original owners of each transmigration world—in her emotions and thought patterns. It feels more like the original owner's awakening than a transformation. If the focus is on ordinary people possessing others to help others, this book is inferior to "My Eight Wonderful Lives." If the intention is to show a female lead with a broader perspective, a more refined soul, and higher energy and self-awareness, enabling her to escape predicaments, then her immersion is so obvious that I can't see it.

Actually, I quite like stories about a female protagonist with extraordinary talents growing up and adventuring in a superpowered academy. This one gives me a bit of a "Lolita's Magic" or "Harry Potter" vibe. However, the growth is just too much. Her partner is a foul-mouthed, arrogant, genius, and pretentious guy. Although the female protagonist's talent is stronger than his, her growth period is just too long and she's too weak in the early stages. He's also too pretentious, constantly trying to impress the female protagonist by praising how amazing other guys are, which is just horrible. And he's even suspected of being her romantic partner! I tolerated it for 30 chapters out of anticipation for the story, thinking he'd be less annoying as the female protagonist grows. But when I saw the description of the female protagonist as a quiet, seemingly well-behaved girl, I really started to break down. Why is this 1.71-Meter-tall, vibrant young man being described as so altruistic and submissive to aggression? I thought maybe this was part of the growth process, so I continued to tolerate it. But by chapter 32, I was completely fed up. Actually, I wasn't too bothered by the fact that the female lead inherited her bloodline from her deceased father, since her mother was alive and well and a CEO. However, to highlight the past and present, the story made it so that none of the female lead's relatives (her mother and her mother's side) loved her, making her mother seem like a complete villain, while her father was constantly portrayed as someone who sacrificed himself for his ideals and had great righteousness. Her friends were also incredibly protective of her. Fine, the mother is the villain and the father is the saint, whatever.

I think I read someone else's tweet saying the female lead was a dominatrix, and that she ate a huge mouthful of shit. The male lead, the one with the most attention, was a rotten chrysanthemum, who had sex with the female lead's nominal ex-husband while she was asleep. To be honest, I tolerated it up to this point because I thought it might just be part of the female lead's life before her divorce, not her romantic storyline. I thought I'd move on after that part. I didn't realize he was the first choice for a romantic partner. But after the female lead took revenge on those two scoundrels and made him take the blame, he was rescued by the bank manager. And when others thought the female lead was malicious and distanced themselves from her while showering him with concern, I started to feel something was wrong. Revenge? Just one fight and that's it? Isn't that a reward for him? He was already lowly and penniless; the female lead gave him everything. She didn't take everything away, even transferring him to a branch, and someone even promised to bring him back. I ask you? Is this supposed to be a coming-of-age story for this guy? Then I saw the female lead also transfer to this branch as a manager, and this guy even said, "This time it's my turn not to look at you." That's when I realized this guy was completely ruined by the female lead, and he was still the first choice for their relationship. They even had to write a love story for him, and since they couldn't get their revenge, he even dared to shrug off the female lead. I'm completely at a loss.

The descriptions are so simplistic that even a female detective envies her for her femininity. The female clowns are also portrayed through humiliating comparisons and physical descriptions, and the story goes on to claim that women are inherently weaker.

I'm utterly speechless at these stories where the protagonist is too poor to afford or even have the energy to serve in the US, but as soon as they become rich, they immediately do it, using beauty as a weapon, high heels as an aura, and pretty women as a way to slap down those worthless characters. The male clown is despicable but somewhat capable, while the female clown is a complete idiot who only knows how to compete for attention. This trope is so familiar it's disgusting.

In the author's writing, the father is a good person—kind to the female protagonist, not sexist, and thoughtful; his mother, father, and friends are also wholeheartedly devoted. The mother, on the other hand, is vicious, selfish, and looks down on girls ("if it weren't for my husband's affection"), favoring her second husband and stepdaughter, and seemingly wanting to drain the female protagonist dry. This kind of writing is extremely distressing to me.

I stopped reading this book because it got so boring and dry during a certain period while I was following the serialization, but that's not my main complaint. Because after reading this, I checked out the author's other works, and frankly, it seems like Red Thorn North has a female lead who's obsessed with the male lead. The female characters are all pretty good, but the female lead is too cynical, infatuated with the male lead, and completely obedient to him. It's fine if there's no romance, but once there is, even the best plot becomes jarring. It was so off-putting that I never read any more of this author's work. "Delicate and Soft-bodied": This is a bit of a trope, completely indistinguishable from a typical domineering CEO/spoiled wife novel if the gender were reversed. I like strong, controlling female leads, but I dislike those who constantly fawn over the male lead like cats and dogs, or those who get carried away and fantasize about every glimpse of skin. It reads like something a pervert would write. The author's writing skills are also lacking; I felt this way when I read "Selling Pots and Broke" before. The romance is even worse. The initial antagonism between the male and female leads was poorly established, making their subsequent confrontations and exchanges illogical. It seems like the female lead just wants to provoke this person, like a spoiled elementary school student who bullies you because she cares about you. She's clearly strong and has a lot going on, yet all she does is focus on the couple. I've said before that I like gender-reversed characters, but I've never seen anything like this before. This one truly makes you fall for the female lead too. Randomly fabricating romance: Does Hongcibei have some kind of serious problem with writing romance scenes? Either the female lead falls in love first, or she takes the initiative. She even has special feelings for a snake she's only met once. The male lead is also spoiled and demanding. This is the first time I've seen a young master who needs the female lead to personally serve him. Even a gender-swapped male-oriented novel would be better than this.
