The Fairy Sister Regrets It and Turns Dark, but Why Should I Love Her?

Damn it, I can't stand it! I don't know if the author is brain-dead or if I am, but I absolutely can't stand the main characters. It feels like a bunch of kids playing house. The riddle-maker is one thing, I don't see anything that can't be explained. And this Yunyin Sect, everyone's an idiot! With people like that, how can they possibly bring glory to the sect? They should be expelled! The male and female leads are both awkward and stupid. There's a misunderstanding, but they just won't say anything, they just play games. The author is brain-dead!

The slow-burn plot is deliberately slow-paced; after reading dozens of chapters, the reader is left confused before the frustrating storyline is forced upon them.

The male lead gives the impression of a eunuch with an effeminate personality forcibly stitched together with the lower body of a pile driver.

I've finished reading 60 chapters! This is a slow burn! And this is the slow burn? I don't blame you; I only blame myself for reading 60 chapters and feeling so frustrated.

Stop with the riddles. If you can't plant foreshadowing, don't. A bunch of riddles only make you feel good about yourself, thinking you're so brilliant with your foreshadowing, but the reader just gets fed garbage and is frustrated. You could have just said nothing was wrong, but you insisted on using riddles, creating a whole bunch of messy situations that make your stomach hurt. This doesn't create any dramatic tension; it just makes me feel like I'm getting high blood pressure. This self-indulgent Da Su... And Da Su was initially supposed to be a domineering ruler, but after realizing his misunderstanding of Mu Xun (those three flashback chapters), instead of adjusting his strategy, he made one mistake after another. All I can say is...

What a slow burn, it's disgusting! (Qnmdsbzz)

I really hate how self-righteous the male lead is. He plans and schemes everything, it's disgusting to watch. If he really wants revenge, he should just find a woman who loves him and is willing to die for him, find a secluded place, and cultivate with her for thirty or forty years. Wouldn't that make him invincible?

Both are enigmatic, both like to keep secrets, and they've only known each other for a few years, yet both are heartbroken. Su and the male lead met when he was only around ten years old—how could love develop from that? The male lead is so afraid of death, yet sometimes likes to play the hero, scheming against so many people, and then suddenly he has this inexplicable reason of being afraid of an older woman. Where did this older woman come from? Having lived two lives, the male lead must be nearing fifty by now. The writing is so awkward. [Em: sfgirl]

This book was truly frustrating to read. Other stories about a woman chasing her husband involve the female lead regretting her decision and becoming devoted to the male lead, only to be ignored. This book, however, has the female lead regretting her decision and then using her power to capture the male lead and rape him. What kind of ridiculous premise is this?

So honestly, if you're going to write good romance, don't include so many female leads. It disrupts the flow of the plot and allows for more focused analysis of individual characters. The current emotional core is really hard to describe; it feels so detached.
