Books I've Read, But Don't Love Most
A few books I was somewhat interested in. When I read their descriptions, I thought they would be amazing. After finishing them, I found that some were pretty good, while others were a little disappointing. Consider this a keepsake (o^∀^o)

I don't really like books that make me think too hard. I just want something relaxing. When I'm feeling down, a lighthearted book can cheer me up. I have kids, so I especially like stories with adorable little ones. That's why my list has a lot of those! They're easy to read, don't make you think too hard, and are good for a laugh.

Luo Qian is a truly baffling character. It's not that I think much of his mother, but rather that his personality itself is problematic. First, when the female lead asked him whether to prioritize the mother or the child in matters of procreation, he, while believing in prioritizing the mother, insisted on saving the child if his mother demanded it.
Wasn't this assassin trope popular a few years ago when I was in middle school? I'm about to graduate from university, and it's still around? It just goes to show that novels are inspired by life; quite a few people actually want to be assassins.
The protagonist's only goal in the synopsis is to get married. 😅
You thought the male lead was the male lead, but it turns out to be the second male lead... Do you understand how that feels?
I only read the first half, then checked the ending, and thought the male lead was Luo Qian. Weren't they mutually in love in the first half? How come the male lead changed later? Poor Luo Qian! 🤫
The writing is good, but the character development and logic are too chaotic. The characters are arbitrarily changed according to the plot, which is irresponsible. Does the author think the readers are fools or just forgetful? Some parts are exaggerated.
This book could be renamed "The Story of the Female Lead and the Male Supporting Character". Two-thirds of the story focuses on the female lead and the male supporting character, while the male lead is treated like a background character, with no inner thoughts whatsoever. Sigh!
After getting the unlimited reading coupon, I chose this book. When I got to the part where the female lead and Luo Qian had some troubles, I read to the ending, and it was really... Luo and Su are actually quite similar; both were saved by the female lead, and both really liked her. The only difference is that Luo has a domineering and stubborn mother who cares too much about her son.
[Review] This is a great book. I'll keep reading it and will continue to recommend and support you! Keep it up!
