Shut Up, Hero! I'm Not Going to Atone to You!

If the first volume, "The Witch and the Hero," was so sweet it made you want to inject too much insulin, then the second volume elevates the entire novel to a whole new level. It evolves from a sickeningly sweet romance novel into an epic (for now, hopefully, Tonggiegie will maintain this). While the hero's character was already showing in small things in the first volume, it wasn't very profound until he faced the Elf Mistress and chose to die heroically. Only then did the hero's image truly leap off the page and come to life. Deep affection isn't always the brightest shining point of a hero. Though there are countless people, I...

Da Tong should really change her username from now on; this account is in a vicious cycle. If you take a break for even two days, your old readers will know you're trying to cut back on subscriptions, leading to a decline in readership and a loss of motivation.

Boss Tong, theoretically, your writing should improve as you go on. Don't cut it off so easily. Finish it first, even if you write a million words before ending it. Just reduce the content appropriately. You don't have to write such a large and extensive story.

Judging solely from the beginning, it's one of the best-looking romance novels I've read recently. In a short volume, it vividly portrays a classic hero—a taciturn, righteous yet pure-hearted individual; a humorous and cunning witch; and a naive and playful priest who deeply loves the hero. "Classic" implies both the hero's adherence to traditional hero archetypes and his versatility. Like a Hollywood movie, it's essentially the same three-part formula: the protagonist encounters setbacks, escapes, and falls into depravity, but ultimately awakens and resolves the situation perfectly or imperfectly, winning the heart of the hero. While it's a template,...

It's such a shame that such a high-quality work was abandoned.

It's still great to read again, but the further I read, the clearer it becomes, "Oh, I'm about to get to the chapter with the eunuch!" It gets more and more painful. Sigh, I just wish I had more money. I really hope to see this book finished.

The author writes very well. However, the initial focus on a sweet romance is a bit of a trap. While it might attract readers of that genre, it might not appeal to those who prefer a grander world-building. Furthermore, the "marriage swap" trope is all about the push and pull, but once the male and female leads truly fall in love, the marriage swap transforms into a romance. Therefore, it seems that to maintain viewership for "marriage swap" stories, the push and pull between the leads is crucial.

I'm still disappointed. I genuinely thought it was quite good. Maybe books that focus on world-building and storytelling just don't have a chance with Pineapple Bun.

Su Tong's value is still rising; it seems to be the only novel so far that has landed smoothly without any twists and turns during the marriage reunion.

To avoid the author abandoning the project due to insufficient subscriptions and poor performance, I subscribed to all volumes after each new volume was released, but it still didn't work out. Sigh...
