Some Old and New Novels I've Read
I usually buy physical copies of books I like to collect. I also keep track of how many physical books I've collected. I've never found a published edition of a reborn or quick transmigration story. My memory is poor, and the books I've read gradually fade until only a rough impression remains. Stories that aren't childish, don't contain glaring logical flaws, and have decent writing. (I used to read novels with my husband's account. I've only used my own account for the past two years, so man

The beginning was quite good, making you want to keep reading. Then, because there weren't many chapters, I subscribed to the whole book. The later parts got a bit draggy; I could guess the ending of many chapters after reading the beginning. The finale felt rushed, and the epilogues were disjointed and didn't make sense.
The beginning was alright, but it all fell apart when it came to the male lead. He's a cowardly, incompetent good-for-nothing who cowers in the face of bullying from the Wu and Lin families, yet forces the orphaned female lead to marry him. Knowing his own mother dislikes her, he still insists on marrying her, causing her immense suffering.
