   I was fooled by the ratings again. This is such an awkwardly entertaining read. All the supporting characters are like they have no brains, just there to highlight the female lead. [Crying emoji] The fight scenes are even worse. [Crying emoji] The full subscription rating said the later chapters would be boring, and I already found chapters 40 quite boring. 💔 And all the important characters are women. If you think this is about loving daughters and is normal, then so be it. It's really pandering to some readers to the point of madness. For the sake of pure enjoyment, an 18-year-old girl manipulating a powerful female boss is ultimately unsatisfying. The later plot, involving various races of cultivators vying for resources, is too convoluted and uninteresting.

   The logic is flawed, and the generational hierarchy is extremely confusing. The late emperor was the eldest princess's father, while the princess was the emperor's cousin. What was the author thinking? He gets angry at the female lead and takes it out on his ministers, and this isn't the first or second time. It's hard to imagine him as a wise ruler. 🤷 And the female lead was a child prodigy at the age of 2, with her parents covering for her by disguising her as a boy [crying emoji][crying emoji]. There are many ways to protect what you have, but the family chose the most dangerous path. Actually, everything just serves the plot points in the synopsis, making the romance feel very forced. I inexplicably fell in love with her [crying emoji]. It's not worth the trouble to go through all that just for a joke or historical reference. It's a mindless sweet romance; anyone with a brain can't read it. The more you think about it, the more plot holes you see.

    I was tricked into adding this to my favorites after so long by the ratings, and it's finally finished! But it's completely below the author's previous work. It's unbelievable that the female lead, who has lived two lives, is written like a childish story. Every supporting character falls in love with her and dotes on her after just a few words. It would be better to write it like a childish story. When she encounters a bad character, she just stares at them blankly until they leave, then arrogantly goes back begging for praise. It's incredibly awkward. Suitable for mindless reading, illogical stories, and those who don't care about writing style... Frankly, if the female lead were ten years younger, I would enjoy reading this. Her behavior is completely inconsistent with her character. The beginning is normal, but once it goes into the VIP section, she acts like she's lost her mind, acting all cute, silly, and clingy with little hands, little mouth, little tail, and little... Author, you know how to make readers feel disgusted, especially with VIP content.

    Not only is there solid evidence of her using other people's non-commercial images for free, but the author is also incredibly manipulative. When others plagiarized her work, she demanded the removal of the content and an apology, but after being caught red-handed, she initially refused to admit it on Weibo, trying to whitewash herself and play the victim. Later, seeing that things were getting out of control, she disabled comments on both Weibo and Jinjiang Literature City to continue making money. What a hypocrite! Furthermore, the excessive animal figurines in her novels are disturbing, and that "we won't close the comment section and accept everyone's supervision" thing is just ridiculous. The author is a notorious complainer and has received a terrible rating for the completed work.

    After reading the beginning, I was utterly baffled by the author's confusing statements and values. For example, the father and son falling in love with the female lead at first sight and then fighting over her, and the ex-boyfriend dumping her because she was ugly but coming back to her after she became beautiful—does the author find that satisfying? Where's the satisfaction? The whole thing just felt disgusting. The author's statement, "I've accepted male-oriented novels, why not female-oriented ones?"—Putting aside any possible fetish, do you really like comparing your work to cult literature? The comments section is in an uproar over incestuous and morally reprehensible content, but the author doesn't care or revise it. [Clown]

    This is another book I don't understand the rating criteria for. The title is "The Devoted Mother"? The female lead is very doting on her younger son, but completely neglects her older one. She takes it for granted that her eldest son is sensible, and when problems arise, instead of reflecting on her own actions, she treats her eldest son like a problem child, taking him to see a psychologist. It's such a simple matter; she just needs to treat both children equally. [Clown] I completely cannot accept the excuse of being a first-time mother. I can accept that you might be inexperienced in some aspects when you're a first-time mother, but I cannot understand the act of turning her eldest son into someone with psychological problems.

    After chapter 70, the romance between the male and female leads feels disjointed and inexplicable. They're either kissing or on the road in a carriage. And you've got the wrong website! This author is a must-read for any avid reader. Frankly, each chapter after chapter 70 raised my blood pressure higher than the last. Also, if a novel constantly requires the author to explain foreshadowing in postscripts, isn't it possible that the main text is poorly written, rather than the reader simply not getting it?
