A Once-in-a-Thousand-Years Sect Prodigy Applies to Work as My Maid

My friend is getting married, so there will be no update today. Updates will resume normally tomorrow.

I'll be going home for Chinese New Year to spend time with my parents and siblings, so I'll be taking a few days off.

One update today, more to be added tomorrow.

To be honest, some parts were hard to keep reading. The characters' emotional fluctuations felt too exaggerated, almost artificial. The character development was really rough; generally, a character's personality shouldn't differ too much, meaning their reactions to events should at least have some developmental process. For example, the description of the woman jumping off the cliff in Chapter 5 was really awkward. And the author really needs to put more effort into the dialogue between characters; sometimes the conversations are just... Well, let's just say they're not very smooth. For instance, in Chapter 5 (yes, after what happened earlier, I understand now), compared to the previous plot, it felt a bit jarring, but I don't know exactly why...

This novel is very similar to another novel.

It's not that I'm nitpicking, but something really feels off. The author's thought process is fine, but some parts have logical flaws. For example, in the scene where Lied is injured and dying, it was Xu Feng who asked him to help, and Lied's lack of foresight that led to Lied's injury. Although he said he only used Lied as a pawn, his urgency at the end was clearly not genuine. However, when we first saw this situation, his explanations didn't seem to concern him much; it seemed more about Larry. Even when he went to help later, it felt more like he was acting for Larry's sake than Lied's. If you say that was composure, then what happens later...?

A disclaimer: This is an objective analysis (though some subjective bias may exist), with no intention of being sarcastic or critical. Please read with a calm and objective perspective. First, the male protagonist, Xu Feng, is neither a saint nor invincible. He adheres to the principles of a businessman, insisting on fair transactions and refusing to help strangers without cause. However, he is deeply caring towards children (as seen in his care for orphans and his adoption of a mute boy). He has his own opinions and principles, and is rare in that he can clearly see his own true nature and the true nature of humanity. He possesses high intelligence and emotional intelligence, knowing his place as a vulnerable individual. He avoids trouble and acts discreetly, but if anyone crosses his line, he will definitely make them pay...

The book is good, but after glancing at the author, I'll pass. Nobody's money grows on trees, and it's always frustrating when it's abandoned halfway through reading.

I like what I like, and I'll just support it silently. This year has been full of hardships, but things will get better eventually.

I suggest you don't read this author's books. He has questionable character; his books are all unfinished. He'll probably stop writing this one when he can't continue.
