The moment he opened his eyes, his so-called husband was sending him to the operating room to "rip out his heart and lungs." He couldn't fight his way out, and his attempt to appeal to the law failed. At the eleventh hour, he spotted the instigator in the crowd: his unscrupulous boss.

All the patience and restraint he'd shown while trying to treat his illness had been for nothing. System: "Want to beat your rivals and win your parents' love?" Xu Fuguang: "Can you cure my illness?" System: "Want to improve your social life and make the people who exclude you look up to you?" Xu Fuguang: "Can you cure my illness?"

   I've dropped it. It's a controlled, specially produced story; never blindly trust established authors. Because of this story—the older sisters, younger sisters, mothers, little sisters, goddesses, gods, the male lead, the female lead—it's all become words I block. It's disgusting. Let me emphasize again, the main text and comments are inseparable. Reading without reading the comments is no different from reading a pirated book. And expecting people to pay money and act like servants—kkmn's attitude is disgusting.

Her mother died in childbirth, and her maternal family had no standing. In Weiyang Palace, she was an overlooked, unloved nobody who lived quietly and unobtrusively. Liu Yao thought that was just fine. As a princess, she had food and clothes without worry. This life was perfect for lying flat and being a happy slacker.

   I quite like the premise, but I'm really not a fan of good writing; it felt like it was overdone somewhere. After reading Belike: But the plot just doesn't stick to my brain. The illustrations are beautiful, though; this author's illustrations are always excellent. I can't take it anymore! I've been using the avatars from this story's illustrations for days, they're tempting me every day. Even if it's just for the illustrations, I'll finish reading the whole story. Once I've collected all three sets, they're truly beautiful avatars. I can't take it anymore. Even with all three sets of illustrations, I can't keep watching. The plot is so boring and slow. I'll stop here. By the way, the new cover is really nice. I wonder if they'll release a third set of illustrations. I'll just keep it for now. This is her third cover, and she's still so beautiful.

   I'm dropping this. So this is what "money laundering" literature is like? Making money off others while secretly having a cute, sarcastic remark. Does the protagonist (uke) even find that adorable? While the uke is indeed quite young, just turned 18, and is a streamer fawning over older men, those forced cute dialogues are still too childish and artificial. He seems more like an 8-year-old than an 18. Both the seme and uke are rather one-dimensional, like two thin, flat paper figures. Oh, and in the beginning, the seme treats the uke like a real girl, and the uke is always dressed as a woman. There are a lot of suggestive scenes in the story.

   I've given up. The protagonist has a system, but it's practically useless. Ten chapters in, and there's still no plot! He transmigrates to a small world and meets the male lead, but there's no introduction to this world or the male lead's storyline. The progress is incredibly slow. There's no backstory or context; it's all about others coveting him. Everyone's just in a competitive relationship, their minds are filled with that kind of nonsense. Don't they have anything else to do?

   He risked his life to blow up the cesspool; after all, he was an author I once admired. Let me taste his work. I was sick of reading the first two chapters. It's like they just named the stereotypical domineering male CEO the female lead and the stereotypical female lead the male lead. They're just deceiving themselves by changing the names. Beneath the female lead's feminine exterior lies the heart of a disgusting domineering male CEO. What's so appealing about someone who manipulates others' feelings? At least a domineering CEO is charming. This female lead is so artificial; she feels like a pseudo-human, neither-male-nor-female. And it's not just the main character; all the supporting characters—and I mean all the supporting characters—are gender-swapped according to stereotypes. The nagging, marriage-urging mother becomes the father, the female secretary who secretly loves the CEO becomes the male secretary, the business partner who works with the CEO becomes the woman, the waitress becomes the male waitress… There are already so many flaws in just two chapters. Fu Bai Qu, wake up! You finally realize you actually want to be a man, right? But you still have to hide it, so let's call him the female lead.

    This is a copywriting scam. Zero "cremation scene" content. The female lead, reborn, still clings to the male lead every day. What happened to her supposedly only seeing him as a brother? She's supposed to be irresistibly charming, with both men and women around her liking her, but why did you (in your past lives) show your affection by hurting her? And the male lead too—he didn't suffer at all in his rebirth, got the throne, forcibly took the woman he loved, and even forced the female lead to fall in love with him again! Ugh. Although I skipped around, there's absolutely no "cremation scene" before or after. The female lead is adoring him, the male lead is a pervert, they're locked in a relationship! A pair of scoundrels, a broken pot with a broken lid, disgusting.

The author clearly stated in the comments that the child wouldn't be born, but now they've changed their mind... By the way, there are a lot of first-person psychological descriptions in the story. Although they don't make up a large percentage of the word count, I don't really like them, so even seeing a little bit feels like a lot. [Heartbroken]

    Not exciting enough, dropped it. Too wordy, the pacing is too slow. After reading many of Tomato's "god-rich" novels, I always felt this one lacked excitement. Even though the female lead bought things, got revenge, helped others, and had all the usual cannon fodder, best friends, and bystanders, it still felt bland. Plus, the female lead was too down-to-earth. For a "god-rich" novel, couldn't she be a little bolder? The system/male lead was also stingy. Maybe she'll be more generous later, but the beginning was quite off-putting.

    One bite of rice, one bite of shit—dropped it. Not enough exciting moments; the whole story felt rushed. The male lead's past life identity wasn't clearly explained until chapter 31 in the author's notes. The fact that he simultaneously suffers from amnesia and remembers the empress is a minor plot hole. Also, the world in question… the connections to reality are too obvious and numerous. While many fantasy novels borrow from real-world settings, none feel as strongly as this one, making it a bit jarring and drawing the reader out of the story. It's also much more female-centric than other fantasy novels, featuring numerous female officials and achievements. Thankfully, the author didn't enable comments, so the comment section was relatively normal, and the author didn't change the wording. Everything seemed fine at first, but later it mentions that the world created a stereotype: girls are only suited for scientific research. What's the difference between that and the current notion that boys are only suited for science? This isn't about gender equality; it's about wanting to be a man.

    It's tasteless to read, but a pity to throw away. The main text of "Tianmu" is mixed with the realities of various dynasties, and the content of "Tianmu" is not much different from the biographical sketches of the characters. The first story, about Zhu Yuanzhang, starts from his childhood when his father starved to death. It's quite boring. There are very few comments, and no memes. People from various dynasties also have a lukewarm reaction. "Tianmu" is like a low-rated science channel. The author's writing is also mediocre. Some parts are too awkward, and some parts are too forceful. However, it is understandable that it is the first work of a new author. In short, it is a very bland and boring work.

    This makes me want to go to the dark web for something light; I'm on the verge of abandoning this story at any moment. October 23rd. I discovered today that my chapter is locked in red, which isn't surprising at all. Almost every chapter is sexually explicit. One of the male leads even puts the female lead's virginity up for auction on the dark web (the female lead is completely naked during the live stream). A group of rich second-generation heirs are all extremely lewd and promiscuous, each coveting the female lead's buttocks, and each one is filled with malice, a strong sense of malice. Of course, the female lead wasn't a good person before her downfall, and she still isn't now. In a true sense, everyone in the group is evil, including various cannon fodder supporting characters and background figures. The whole story has a depressing, vicious, and very erotic feel. If it were on Haitang, I might read it; if it's on JJ, I'd like to read it too.
