The Lucky Branch

I've read over a hundred chapters, and it's exhausting. The repetition is overwhelming. It feels like the author isn't trying to write a story, but rather to force-plant character relationships into their mind and then put them on paper. I didn't expect it to generate such strong aversion from readers. Author, do you ever read the whole thing from beginning to end? Doesn't it get tiring to read with all that repetitive and drawn-out character background explanations?

At first, I thought it was pretty good, but there was too much repetition and constant emphasis on the characters' backgrounds and events, which made it a bit tiring to read. I'll continue reading and hope it gets better.

Repetitive background introductions are tiring. In addition, the female lead's mother was tormented to death by her wicked mother-in-law. Although the father was a scumbag, the wicked mother-in-law was almost the same. In order to make a good life for herself, the female lead didn't feel any disgust towards her so-called grandmother at all, and was very affectionate towards her. She seems to be a scumbag too.

My mom no longer worries that I won't remember the characters' backgrounds and relationships when I read books... I can skip around without worrying about missing any key details. 🥱 I'm speechless... This is the first time in all my years of reading novels that I've encountered one that repeatedly and incessantly introduces backstory, character relationships, and backstory. 😒

Is a concubine's daughter, born a prostitute and with a ruined reputation, going to marry the eldest grandson of the general's family and become the future head of the family? Should everything that is unreasonable be rationalized?

I can't stand it anymore. The content is so repetitive: each character's introduction is followed by another introduction, then yet another. Isn't that exhausting? Is it really just to pad the word count? Every character and every event requires repeated background information and endless filler. The plot is moving at an unbearable pace. Another issue I find is the character design.

The same formula is used for 500 chapters: the beginning involves the half-sister framing someone and causing them to fall into the water, the family favoring the half-sister, and this formula is repeated countless times throughout the story. Even after skipping through chapters up to 480, the half-sister is still drowning. The female lead is still only eight years old at over 300 chapters. It's a word-pumping story with no logical plot. Warning: this is a bad read.

To be honest, the storyline is very engaging, but the author was clearly not entirely at ease, explaining things over and over again, which made it a bit wordy.

I've read hundreds of chapters and still don't know who the author wants to be the male lead. Isn't it incredibly boring? Stop with the Mary Sue tropes! Can't we make the Imperial Advisor the male lead? The others are all terrible.

I can't stand it anymore, it's too long-winded and exhausting!
