Chronicles of the Future: Origin Energy

I'm also a fan of female protagonists. Some novels are tagged as "strong female lead" stories, and at the beginning, the female lead is indeed a strong, assertive woman who loves to cause trouble. But as soon as the male lead appears, oh my god, the style changes instantly.

I love stories where the female lead is strong, grows step by step, doesn't rely on any special advantages, doesn't depend on men, and becomes resilient. There's no excessive romance, sweetness, indecisiveness, or scheming.

I read over thirty chapters, but I just couldn't take it anymore. What happened to the promise of no male lead? What happened to the promise of no romantic entanglements? I wanted to read a book without any romantic pairings. I only decided to read it because the author confidently stated that there would be no romantic entanglements, but I feel like I've been deceived.

Yesterday I read a novel where the female lead was a goddess-like figure, aloof and indifferent to the pursuit of several outstanding male supporting characters. Then, after about two hundred chapters… a complete plot twist! She ended up sleeping with an ordinary man! Her reasons? He wouldn't cause trouble and he was good in bed! What a super, unbelievable shock!

I really hope to see a true female protagonist story, not one where the female lead is merely a male figure. When the female lead repeatedly uses male characters to solve problems, I know I'm likely to be disappointed again, because deep down the author probably agrees that even if the female lead is portrayed as incredibly strong, she still can't compete with men. This doesn't align with the original intention of a strong female protagonist story.

I've noticed that the female protagonist and those around her in this book are prone to overthinking. They never clearly explain themselves, always making assumptions and never speaking up, even in front of their own families. It's frustrating to read; can't they just say what's on their mind? They're not autistic.

I've seen some of these before; the main character's personality is just... Indescribable—he seems pretty dim-witted.

I've read up to chapter 28. All the book lists say it gets better later on, but I just can't keep going. All I see is a future female lead who's always bouncing around, barely speaking, and acting purely on instinct... 😂 Isn't that awkward?! Isn't that awkward at all?!

Honestly, this book has been sitting on my bookshelf for ages, only ever touched when it's free. Otherwise, I just can't get into it! While the plot is decent, the awkward writing, the incredibly dull and unappealing female lead, the numerous but superficial psychological descriptions, the constant leveling-up mechanics, the zero interaction with family, and the female lead's low intelligence and…

I can't keep going; the female lead's personality seems a bit silly.
