It's alright. I was almost put off by a comment in a book review saying it was female-oriented, but after reading it carefully, I realized it's just a normal transformation story. However, the excessive number of settings and the complex world-building are a problem. I'll wait and see. For now, it's a decent read.
Clay sculpture
I hope the female lead can have a human body and a snake tail.
That's quite rare. Aren't supernatural transformation stories supposed to be banned? I haven't seen any on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) since it's considered one of the "evil" books. 🙂
How come modern transmigration stories can even change people's mindsets? If a man transmigrates into a woman, even if his body changes, will his mentality change?
There was absolutely no build-up, bro. Why is the protagonist being hunted in both worlds? At the beginning, all I knew was that he was on the run in both worlds. He was completely bewildered by being hunted down in reality. The protagonist had just changed bodies and no one recognized him. Could it be a prophecy?
She's less than 1.4 Meters tall, how can she look beautiful...? At least set the height at 1.5 Meters!
Here's a piece of advice: nobody likes reading a book where the protagonist struggles to survive in two different worlds. Even the protagonist needs a break.
The style is good, but the beginning has some issues. The first ten chapters, while introducing the world and background, introduce at least three or four groups of people who are targeting the protagonist (his adoptive father, assassins, his sister, and superhumans from the original world who are targeting him), and even his family.
Well written
The premise is interesting, the writing is decent, and the pacing is good. A male-to-female transformation is still acceptable. If a man transforms into a woman and then falls in love with another man, I wouldn't be able to accept it.
The writing is alright, but it's padded. The clay sculpting process is described in too much detail, with too much text related to clay sculpting. Also, with two worlds, the plot is already progressing at half the pace, and the individual world doesn't actively drive development, so writing a lot of details is unnecessary. This is a bit too padded. It's not that it's terrible; it's not unwatchable. The beginning is watchable, and you can watch it if you run out of things to watch later on.
