As a longtime book lover, I've read novels in countless genres: When I was little, there weren't any novels around, so I read anything I could find with words on it. Listening to the village grandmothers tell all kinds of stories at night was a delight, too! From historical romances to novels of every kind, from The Generals of the Yang Family and The Three Heroes and Five Gallants to Jin Yong and Qiong Yao, from Wang Guozhen to Lu Xun, from Chinese works to foreign ones, from Zheng Yuanjie fair

This book is worth reading carefully and reflecting upon!
Actually, I never liked this book before. The female lead's behavior at the beginning always made me feel that she was not a likable character, so I always read the first chapter and then skipped it. I started watching it seriously one day when I was bored and wanted to see why it had such a high rating. Once I started, I couldn't put it down! I misunderstood it for too long.
I really enjoyed this book. It's unconventional, with a fresh perspective. The part where the female protagonist is reborn is hilarious—a good person filled with resentment going into self-imposed exile, acting all high and mighty. Unlike other rebirth or time-travel novels where the protagonist was incredibly stupid in their previous life but suddenly becomes noble and great after rebirth.
The female lead is so patient; she can endure being bullied so many times. I can't even stand it anymore.
I quite like the author's novels; I like this slow-burn, gradual development style! However, some of the author's fans are just so rude! They haven't even read a few chapters before commenting and slandering rural people everywhere! Rural people do have shortcomings due to economic conditions, education levels, and cognitive limitations, but are all city people perfect? Especially one reader's comment saying her college classmate from the countryside is scheming—that's really disgusting.
Judging from the title "The Hermit," and the beginning about rebirth and being the child of a demon, it's just a typical, formulaic romance novel... This kind of inexplicably appearing Mary Sue male lead is so annoying.
The book's concept is lofty and grand, featuring the children of humans, foxes, and light, as well as elements of the celestial realm, legends, and monsters. However, as it progressed, it devolved into a series of eccentric teenagers trying to protect the world, and a story of a resilient and incredibly powerful female warrior battling her stepmother, biological mother, and biological father—a rather chaotic domestic drama.
I finished reading the book in two days. I have some deep thoughts on this. Life is full of disappointments. The author's perspective is not to avoid the ties that come with family, but to face them head-on and deal with them as they come. I admire that, but I would find it very difficult to do that myself. May all readers' inspiration flow freely and may they achieve financial freedom soon!
At first glance, the female lead seems a bit stupid; all she does is steal and curse, she's a bit like a shrew. 😰
Before jumping into a fantasy cultivation novel, I always check if there's a male lead, because his presence tends to diminish the female lead's brilliance and intelligence. However, the female lead in this novel remains remarkably clear-headed. Although she's completely infatuated with the male lead, she maintains her vigilance. Their romance is also very sweet; even this Gold Saint (a character in the novel) is starting to feel a bit romantic! 🙂
Am I the only one who can't understand what this is saying...? What utter nonsense is this?
