I Was the Number One Young Master, but I Turned into a Woman

The emotional plot in this book is so twisted it's making me uncomfortable.

I don't quite understand why the score is so high. Is this a pioneering work? Personally, I felt the writing was very forced; I dropped it after fifty chapters. The story basically twists reason to express an emotion. It's sentimental for the sake of sentimentality, almost self-indulgent. Later on, it will likely revolve around the protagonist's disgust at being a girl, using this terrible, conflicted, emotionally immature, and inflexible personality to develop. Eventually, the male lead's world will only consist of the female lead, and he'll endlessly indulge her. Accepting being a girl doesn't necessarily have to start with extreme, twisted disgust. The extreme disgust described by the protagonist is enough to make someone from a feudal era...

Having read this far, I feel the female protagonist has somewhat deviated from the most basic aspects of human life: acting with sufficient logic. Before and after her marriage, she's been reckless and impulsive, without any prior planning. As a result, the male protagonist repeatedly finds himself in dangerous situations, and she doesn't even appreciate it. Ultimately, she seems unaware of her own limitations and takes advantage of others. Secondly, her personality is extremely contradictory; I even thought she had a split personality. After experiencing so much, she should have already come to terms with things, but she's still struggling with her romantic relationships, which feels very immature. Only by overcoming one's past immaturity can one truly grow...

The female lead became a bit too pretentious in the middle of the story. No matter what her reasons were, she shouldn't have been so unreasonable. It went far beyond being spoiled and made her somewhat annoying.

I was originally thinking of just watching it for free on the browser, but I felt it would be a shame not to subscribe to something this good.

Having progressed to the point where the female lead has survived her tribulation, I have some things to say. The first half of the story, up to the kiss, was handled exceptionally well, both psychologically and in terms of character development—a truly excellent piece. But why did the story seem to go off track after the kiss? I had high hopes for the author, as it's rare to find such meticulous psychological descriptions in the transformation genre, but the quality of the first half is noticeably different from the second. The female lead's character becomes increasingly confusing in the second half. She seems to believe that everything Ye Ning does is an attempt to subtly influence her, and this paranoia really ruins her appeal. Honestly, what makes the female lead worthy of so many other characters' affection, and why does she have to worry about...?

Having read over a million words, the female lead's attitude is appalling. Although this book is supposed to be a slow burn, after simmering for so long, there should be some tension by now. She keeps calling the male lead by his surname, Ye—is she trying to boil water with a lighter's flame? The male lead has saved her life so many times, almost each time; at least he should address her normally! She's constantly offering her kindness while being met with indifference. Anyone with a normal temper would have broken off the relationship long ago. Even if she's incredibly beautiful, who can tolerate such a temper? This isn't just being unreasonable; it's downright ungrateful. So far, it seems the female lead is truly unworthy of the male lead. I haven't reached volume nine yet; I hope there will be more...

Well… I've been subscribing to the whole thing for a while now, and I really have some feelings to share. The pacing is too slow, and the plot is too weak. Who is the target audience for "The First Young Master"? It should be those who enjoy the idea of a character marrying another woman. So what should be the core selling point of "The First Young Master"? It should be the journey of becoming a "good wife" (a manipulative, submissive partner). This is similar to the typical "power fantasy" novels on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform), where there should be at least three minor climaxes every three chapters and a major climax at each stage, with the intermediate plots serving as build-up to the climaxes. But now, I feel that the selling point of this book has become unclear. The author has spent too many words on the protagonist's power-ups, cultivation, and competitions. But what is the purpose of these plots? First of all, regarding…

Compared to "The Beauty," the author's skill has clearly improved. Although some plot holes remain, it doesn't feel rushed. Some plot points are cleverly designed, especially the separation and reunion scene, which achieves its intended effect. The only downside is the second male lead; his relationship with the female lead is entirely based on his own imagination. He's practically a walking, talking fantasy.

I didn't watch much of it after it ended, but now that I'm watching it again, the female lead just seems like such a drama queen! When will she ever become normal?
