The Failed Villain Who Broke Off the Engagement with the Proud Phoenix Is Actually Me

If you don't have the skill to write a deep and satisfying story, you insist on writing something disgusting. In the end, all you write is sex, not a plot. The writing is chaotic and fast-paced, and the character descriptions are like a pile of shit. In online literature, this is called "artsy syndrome."

It's so confusing! From the first chapter to the last, in just 280,000 words, I finally understood what "confusion within confusion" truly meant. The male lead's character is incredibly confusing and contradictory, making it difficult to read. Overall, I feel the male lead is self-contradictory; I completely can't understand what he's trying to do. I also don't know why his love for the female lead feels like charity, like he's doing something inexplicable to gain favor or get ahead. He acts all high and mighty, indifferent to everything, always wearing a benevolent smile. I really don't understand this male lead. Although I must say the writing is good, it's truly baffling. I feel like this author...

It's better this book is over; its narrative and values were both abnormal, making it nauseating to read.

What the hell is this? It's like it was written by a completely different person after it was published. It's all about reincarnation and rebirth—what kind of definition is that? The more I read, the more annoyed I get. I regret subscribing and wasting my virtual currency.

A pile of dissertations defense 😅

Speechless, the author always abandons the story.

Based on my nearly eight years of experience in the novel writing world, the author's writing style is above average. However, it suffers from the common problem among authors of this genre: many characters have complex inner thoughts, but the background plot development is relatively weak. This sometimes leaves readers feeling like they've read nothing at all. Especially the recent fishing village scenes, which seem to have adopted a stream-of-consciousness style, leading to many readers expressing confusion. My personal suggestion is to read the paid chapters first, but the subsequent plot seems to be trying to improve but instead trending downwards. If the plot continues like this, I suggest you stop reading now. I hope the author will take a look at the chapters they've written...

The female lead's betrayal was foreshadowed from the beginning. The male lead's aunt warned him from the start not to fall for Ji, not just because of Ji's murders and inner demons, but more importantly, because she saw through Ji's obsession with revenge and her cowardly personality. After all, as an elder, she was far better at judging people than the male lead. The author had Ji betray the male lead at this opportune moment to reshape her character, because given Ji's personality at that time, if someone could bring her family back to life, she would abandon everything, including her lover. The author chose the point when the male lead had feelings for Ji but mainly saw her as a tool to minimize the potential impact of the plot twist. Okay, back to the main topic. The author...

(Spoiler Warning) Currently updated to Chapter 88, the chapter after the trial ends. To be honest, I personally prefer to wait until the first female lead establishes her relationship and the second female lead enters the scene before making a stage evaluation, but after reading this chapter, I feel I should say something. Is this story well-written? Yes, it is very well-written, with beautiful prose, excellent foreshadowing, and smooth transitions. It's a rare story with very coherent logic, like the one in the novel "Pineapple Bun." It's playful when it needs to be playful, and serious when it needs to be serious, striking a perfect balance. A good story. Regarding the most controversial part, let me first state my opinion: the first female lead is both hateful and pathetic, and...

Ah, it was going so well, but I guess the author got carried away halfway through and messed it up, couldn't fix it, and had to quit.
