They All Say They Won't Let Me Get Away

The main plot progresses slowly, yet the timeline is deliberately dragged out. In *Battle Through the Heavens*, Xiao Yan should be close to becoming a Dou Zong. This kind of time-wasting just makes the protagonist seem incredibly useless. Reading this novel feels like naively hoping for a revival, but it's like a lump of mud that can't be plastered on. Even a protagonist with a downward compatibility theme needs to achieve great things in the mortal realm. Huo Qubing was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Champion at 17, and two years later, at 19, he conquered the four prefectures of Shanhe. Your protagonist is just too weak. He lacks the youthful brilliance and compassion of the real Huo Qubing, and he doesn't have the benevolence to help those in need. The protagonist's character is portrayed too narrowly; his story should be told through the eyes of characters other than the female lead...

To be frank, the male lead had problems from the very beginning. Born a cripple with unsolved mysteries surrounding his parents, he essentially had two choices: either give up and live a carefree life as a prince, or find a way to cause trouble. The most twisted option was to beg Su for help, but he didn't. Before meeting Lin, he wanted to get involved but made no preparations. Even if he had, it wouldn't have mattered, but at least he should have taken some action. However, he just wallowed in self-pity and lacked power. When he finally got a chance to cultivate after meeting Lin, he was inherently weak and destined to spend his entire life at the Foundation Establishment stage. Seriously, after he entered the Huo family, didn't you find it funny yourself? That old nanny, what kind of inherent weakness was she, unable to see through the male lead...?

It's a great slow-burn story, but the male lead is a bit too arrogant.

Sorry everyone, I had some school matters to attend to today, so there will only be one update. I'll make up for it later this month.

The book title is "They All Said They Wouldn't Let Me Go". Personally, I still hope there are a few more sickly girls! 😆 I wonder which direction Xiaoyuan will ultimately take?

My brain is trembling! Is the male lead truly lacking in emotional intelligence or just pretending to enjoy himself? From the very beginning, he's been endlessly repeating what the female character says, then letting those words resonate within him. Once or twice is fine, but throughout the entire book, related plot points consist of long, repetitive, meaningless psychological descriptions. Besides padding the word count, this also negatively impacts the reader's experience. You win, dear readers. Secondly, there's the issue of their relationship. You mean, after rejecting a confession, he becomes good friends with the rejected woman while already having a fiancée?! Dude, I really can't think of any other explanation besides wanting to try his luck with other women. The way the male lead and that Sue... Whatever he doesn't do...

The plot revolves around the distinction between mortals and immortals, constantly belittling the male lead. His abilities in cooking and document processing are inferior to Lin's, he lacks talent in cultivation, and his mindset is full of resentment. The attempt to portray a sense of resentment backfires, resulting in a bloated mess with no redeeming qualities. It's like a toilet paper-style isekai anime protagonist who only knows how to be kind. Then, a bunch of women are attracted to him, and while it seems like having a powerful cultivator as a cheat code is a given, it turns out to be useless, and he's even belittled for his lack of talent by the same cultivator. The emotional progression follows a formulaic pattern, and the writing feels contrived. The "crow hiding from the hunter" trope is obviously meant to be dramatic, but the male lead, while boasting about protecting Lin, lacks confidence himself, and tries to get the powerful cultivator to help him...

I commented on June 2nd that it was almost over. The female lead's transformation from a yandere to accepting the existence of others was a major turning point, and sure enough, it ended at the end of June. It's a pity I didn't get enough of the love triangle and imprisonment scenes. The later part felt like two different books. The new book is about first love, while the old one is about a haggard old woman. The plot and setting were too vast, causing the author to lose control of the development and forcibly push forward against the characters' established personalities.

The writing style in the early parts was too pretentious and affected, making it quite awkward to read.
