I accidentally finished the remaining locked parts while reading on WeChat and will update my review.
A very mature author, no doubt excellent.
But the feeling of admiration and "pampering" attitude toward the Celestial Dragons in the first half really stuck in my throat, so much so that I didn't come back to watch it for a long time.
I picked it up again recently and saw the real growth of Baozhu in "Guanyin Slave", especially the treatment of the "culprit" after returning to the palace, which made her person and this work truly firmly established in my heart.
After reading it as a whole and looking back at the foreshadowing, I think it makes sense, but the way of describing it is probably not quite right. In the early days, I was too immersed in the narcissism of the Tianlong people, and lacked some independent and objective vision. Of course, this may also be the author deliberately whitewashing her current situation from the perspective of the heroine, but as a reader who is not a Celestial Dragon in reality, it is indeed difficult to completely substitute for this excessive narcissism at the beginning.
Many people complained that the ending was rushed, but I thought it was okay. The framework was generally enjoyable and the abbreviation was acceptable. Of course, there are also regrets, as some key issues (such as the birth control of orbs and succession to the throne) were not discussed.
Overall, highly recommended reading.
The group portraits are really well written. The mother who is not kidnapped by the sacrificial narrative, the princess who escapes the fate of the dodder flower, the female warrior who accepts and spreads kindness, the female teacher who distinguishes between good and evil... The details are detailed, and many story backgrounds show that the author has worked hard. Worth booking in full.
The setting is very good, and the opposite side can be said to be my spiritual homeland.
The shortcoming is that the writing at the front is pale, jumpy, and sometimes incomprehensible, and it is easy to abandon the article.
Generally speaking, it is much more ideological than literary, and it is still worth reading.
The heroine is still being updated. The background setting is very detailed and it can be seen that it has been carefully considered. The details of the imperial examination are also well written (my wife also wrote poetry in the article), and it is worth reading carefully.
