A very good book. The style, descriptions, and world-building have a very mysterious feel (no inflammatory or derogatory remarks). It's better than 80% of the books on Qidian.com. Aside from the somewhat bland handling of the initial climax—escaping the pirates—it's all above average, even excellent. As for the occasional witch transformation, that depends on how well readers accept it; it's not a flaw.
Sometimes male, sometimes female, sometimes acting, sometimes standing
It's infuriating. The title looks normal from the outside, the synopsis is normal, but the first chapter becomes overly feminine, and that's when I get angry. What kind of readers are you trying to appeal to? The synopsis should clearly state your target audience. Trying to have your cake and eat it too? You're really asking for it. If the synopsis explained it, I wouldn't bother criticizing it; but if you don't, do you think your readers are all easygoing?
Why does a perfectly good fantasy story have to include gender reassignment? It's disgusting.
Changing your mind like that, switching between male and female all the time, is disgusting.
[Disclaimer] This book is not a gender-swap story, nor is it about transformations or marriage; the main content is fantasy...
As the title suggests, the male protagonist will briefly transform into a silver-haired witch every day in the early stages, but this book is not a gender-swap story. He will not marry or become a lesbian; it is just a special state. The content of the book is still a kind of mystery and fantasy. [This was originally stated in the synopsis, but it didn't pass the review!]
The ability to transform but not completely appeals to both readers who enjoy yuri (multiple transformations) and those who prefer the male lead.
No, you should have mentioned the transformation in the synopsis! People were happily reading it, only to find out she turned into a witch... The synopsis didn't mention it at all, proving you knew you'd be filtering readers, but hiding it is pointless. Those who don't like transformation stories could just leave, but now it's hidden in the book. What if someone gets annoyed and leaves negative comments? Wouldn't that further discourage them from continuing to read?
I've accidentally become Shennong again! Let's leave aside the part about the male-to-female transformation, but when they could have escaped, they insisted on going back to save the pirate captain and her accomplice, who had bought them to be used as test subjects for dangerous rituals!
It involves a transformation into a woman, but not a complete one. Trying to have your cake and eat it too can backfire and end up pleasing neither side.
The synopsis not mentioning the transformation wasn't due to censorship, which is understandable. However, you could at least have moved the transformation content to Chapter Two. That way, at least the explanation at the end of Chapter One would have reminded some readers.
Trying to have your cake and eat it too, and getting criticized, means either voting for yuri or sticking with a purely male-centric approach. Honestly, I find the readers' insults quite amusing.
