What's Wrong with Living and Falling in Love with My Archrival After Retirement?

I think I should ask everyone for a break. I might be taking a break from updating occasionally these next couple of days. My graduation defense is coming up soon, and I've been incredibly busy lately. Plus, I was lucky enough to get a spot in the university-level defense. Furthermore, while organizing the outline these past two days, I realized that the latest two chapters weren't very well written, and I'm thinking of rewriting and replacing those two chapters before continuing. I'll update more often after I finish my thesis defense and graduate, so please let me be a little lazy lately. (Slides to my knees)

I admit I can't have high expectations for this kind of light novel; all I hoped for was the sweet romance between rivals promised in the synopsis and title. Wrong. What awaited me was far from the idyllic scene I imagined—a long, tedious ordeal, and an unbearable intellectual assault. I must admit, the author's initial setup and the first chapter's plot were indeed entertaining. The "little yellow book job," the Sirius suit at the start, and the daily antics of guarding against his sister—all were written in a very realistic style, and the intricate, interconnected web of relationships was quite engaging. I know perfectly well that this kind of light novel requires you to throw your brain away and immerse yourself completely...

Pressing the exit button didn't move me; instead, I felt a wave of nausea and uncontrollable anger. I completely cannot understand or accept this plot device of "planting a bomb in Xinglan's heart." What a lazy and cruel imagination! The author thinks this is a good way to advance the plot and create space for their relationship, but in my eyes, it's nothing more than instrumentalizing a vibrant life, turning her most precious organ—her heart that should beat with love—into a cold plot trigger. This isn't some profound moral dilemma; it's a desecration of love itself, a binding of the reader's empathy...

Having read Pineapple Bun for so long, this is my most popular book; I simply don't read any other mindless ones. But this one, it's trying to have it all, disgusting the reader. The entire story relies on one or two alternate identities to pull the narrative together, giving countless opportunities for explosive moments within a mere hundred chapters, but basically all of them are just manipulating the reader's mind, faking out explosive moments and relying on mindless plots to get by—it's not funny at all. And that's not all. The most disgusting thing is that they actually planted a bomb in the heart of Xinglan, one of the two female leads and the strongest antagonist. Then I have to ask, what is the protagonist doing? Despite being the strongest on the side of justice, where is the intelligence and the action...?

The whole thing was just a bunch of words, it gave me a headache 🤕

This author is a complete lazybones; it's likely that thinking, "Maybe I'll take a month off in September and update again in October," and this isn't the first time this has happened. On the bright side, at least all the books he listed were finished.

Before we knew it, it had reached 960,000 words, and none of these divine messengers had died! To be honest, it's time to chop off a few divine messengers to liven things up. At 960,000 words, the strongest magical girl is only ever beating small fry; that's really not right.

Main editor, you're updating too slowly! I've started flipping through older chapters, meow!

😀Author, let me tell you, I've already finished my master's thesis defense. You should be finished by now too. Did you fail? No way, no way, no way? I'll come back and update as soon as it's over! 😡😡😡

This author is a lazybones; maybe they're thinking, "This month is almost over, maybe I'll update next month."
