The Saintess's Passionate Battle Chronicle in Another World

Ugh, just thinking about writing a book review is such a hassle. Personally, my initial impression of this book was relatively poor. The plot unfolded rather blandly, and I rarely felt any anticipation for what would happen next. The premise itself was quite interesting—a protagonist striving to avoid being permanently turned into a woman—but from my perspective, it felt a little lacking. The fusion of Eastern and Western worldviews felt somewhat awkward to me. After all, someone practicing Tai Chi suddenly claiming to be a member of the Holy Light Cult, or a Taoist master suddenly eating bread...

You can quit now.

I'm just a novice reader; I can't write books, much less book reviews! Let me share my thoughts… I quite like the book's title. When I first discovered it, I read a few pages, then gave up. A few days later, I read a few more, a week later, a few more, and today I read up to chapter 47 in one go, but I won't continue. Strange, right? Why? First, the writing is truly excellent; my attention was entirely focused on the writing style while reading! Second, the author seems too self-absorbed in their storytelling. For example, the author themselves said the protagonist's personality is arbitrary, written as they go. Okay, so the protagonist's personality isn't even fixed? Third, because the protagonist's personality is random and uncertain…

I haven't really logged into SF much since last September. Saying I'm busy is just a lie, but I really felt a bit tired. I've been in touch with Lingjiang on and off for the past few months, always talking about his new book. He's definitely an author with a lot of ideas, so whenever he starts a new project, I jokingly call him incredibly prolific. After several unfinished projects, it's clear that Lingjiang has grown a lot, or rather, learned a lot of tricks, or maybe he's become more like the 'warm' SF family. This is probably what they call being influenced by one's surroundings. Lingjiang sent me this book a while ago; it only had about six chapters then, and I called it a masterpiece...

Sorry, my head feels like it's being pricked with needles, it's very uncomfortable to look at my phone, and I'm not breathing very smoothly either. I'll postpone today's chapter and see if I feel better tomorrow.

Or is it the salvation of God?

This choice is practically nonexistent. Do you think I didn't read the script? It's a choice between being forced into marriage and being coerced. Besides, the Emperor already said there were no choices, and now giving her choices is just playing games with the Saintess! I wonder if the Saintess can discover and create a better choice?

Actually, the overall article isn't too bad, but there are a lot of conspiracies and intrigues, and the main theme of the saintess seems to have just passed by, making it feel somewhat off-topic. Also, has the recent lack of updates been due to a poor writing style? Using song lyrics to pad the numbers is one method, but hasn't that already been used? If the same thing appears a second time, you could try describing the protagonist from an outsider's perspective instead of just filling in song lyrics again. I believe the author's writing style should be able to create a good scene. As for the poor writing style, you could try adjusting your mindset or looking at other people's articles and writing side stories; I have no objection to that...

Okay, I promised Ling-chan I'd write a book review today. Well, how should I put it? First of all, the book's solid writing style and engaging content are a pleasure to read. I must say, Ling-chan's writing is getting better and better; she must have put in a lot of effort. Stylistically, the author has almost continued her previous style: excessively long setups and a delayed introduction of the main plot. In this day and age, this inevitably loses many readers. Of course, there are also many who enjoy slow-burn stories. So, regarding my review of Ling-chan's book, I'll get straight to the point. If you're easily offended, you can skip this!

Did the author forget about appointing a saintess?
