Fiction_Fantasy_Moving I like simple characters and vivid stories; I enjoy thought-provoking writing and ordinary lives. In books, I look for family bonds that bring tears to my eyes; in fantasy, I witness thrilling battles that get my blood pumping. Books that offer something worthwhile deserve recommendations, and good stories deserve to be seen.

No System
I registered on Qidian more than ten years ago without even realizing it. I've read countless novels, and I'm a veteran reader through and through. So it's hard to quit web novels now, and even harder to find ones I like. I think a top-notch web novel needs more than an exciting plot. It also needs good writing, original ideas, solid logic, and no melodrama or filler, or it'll be as enjoyable as chewing wax. I'm not a fan of System or infinite-world novels. Too few of them stand out. Science fic

Decent Enough to Read
I read all kinds of things, since I’m a real bookworm. I started with fantasy, then moved on to urban fiction, sci-fi, romance, palace intrigue, drama, danmei... Eventually I lost track of what I was into. I just drop books that bore me after a few chapters. Usually, I can predict what happens in the next several chapters, or even the ending, after reading just one. I skip brainless harem stories outright. There can’t possibly be that many women around; it feels like a stud surrounded by a whole

The writing on legal matters is excellent, but the handling of the ex-wife's emotional side is truly awful. I couldn't hold back my tears after reading chapter 215. The male protagonist is, after all, a university professor, while his ex-wife is just the finance director of a small company with about a hundred employees (such small companies usually only have two or three finance staff).
Let me share my thoughts. The male lead is a total simp! He has a PhD from a top-tier university, ran away to his hometown to marry a female college graduate, had no status in his family, was constantly looked down upon and verbally abused, and was eventually divorced by the graduate because of his low salary. The child was awarded to his wife.
I've read about a fifth of it, and the romance feels off. Why does the author keep emphasizing that the male lead is sorry to his ex-wife? He didn't cheat, he didn't sponge off his parents, he just worked diligently, and his low salary is a result of the overall economic climate. His ex-wife even kept his salary card. So what is it about him that makes him feel guilty?
The cases themselves were well-written, but the main character and his ex-wife were utterly terrible. The ex-wife married the protagonist because he was a university professor, and then dumped him without hesitation when he was about to lose his job. Yet, the author is expected to feel guilty towards her – it's utterly absurd.
The author's writing is excellent, and the prose is very good. But sometimes it's truly disgusting. It's just pointless whining. The protagonist is a university professor, and his wife (a finance manager) is a high-income earner. Both sets of parents are healthy and without illness.
For ordinary people in life, it's truly pathetic to find someone who feels guilty towards their ex-wife after a divorce and is still "dangling" her along in life!
Readers can skip ahead as they please; skip any passages depicting the male protagonist's ex-wife. They won't have a compelling story or be enjoyable.
The book is actually alright overall, but the repeated abuse by the ex-wife becomes unbearable. I forced myself to keep reading until the case at the city law firm, where the ex-wife was forced to resign due to illness, and then the description of her resignation, made it impossible to continue.
There's a reason it's not popular, but perhaps the author doesn't care about writing at all; it's just a hobby.
The story is engaging and very good.
