A Depressed Shut-In Can't Possibly Be a Retired Heroine

I finally finished reading all the novels I was supposed to read. Most of the male leads in the ones submitted to me were vegetarians, but I never expected Yu-Sheng to break his vow of incest later on. He doesn't seem like that type, does he? The key is that the writer seems to have some experience with these kinds of scenes, making Yu-Sheng seem like an immortal phoenix. I'm wondering if I should revise it more subtly, and portray Shen more restrainedly. [Sfem:3:297]

The writing style is strange, the line breaks are awkward, and the characters are stereotypical and lack any real attempt to project a grand martial arts feel. Yet, inexplicably, it's captivating, like eating stinky tofu—you find it ugly while you're still eating it.

First of all, I'm not giving it away, but the daily interactions between the male lead and the female lead in the early episodes were really quite sweet. [Sfem:25:830]

It's good, and it suits my taste, but the only problem is the pacing is way too slow. After 540,000 words, the male lead has only undergone a single transformation! Don't rush to add new characters after finishing the second volume; hurry up and get the protagonist on the track! I'm getting impatient!

The female lead's appearance feels like a gender-modified version of GPT, almost identical.

There are quite a few problems. All I can say is that the outline is well-written, and it's strangely compelling to see the true identities revealed. Many of the issues are fatal, yet it still makes you want to keep reading. None of the characters are well-developed; the dialogue is repetitive and lengthy; the plot development is disjointed; the character relationships are simplistic, not even stereotypical—everyone looks the same. The villains are unclear, the world-building is nonsensical, NPCs are just NPCs with no minor characters, and the main characters lack any driving force.

The thought of releasing a angst-filled chapter made him even more eager to release four chapters in a row, just to give us a fresh and complete dose of angst.

The plot is slow-paced. After the writer read the outline, he asked for several days if some daily chapters could be deleted or the amount of dialogue reduced. Every time he asked, the author said he would handle it himself and see what could be deleted, but he didn't specify what could be deleted. The text you see now is actually a version that the writer has deleted and revised. I had my eyes hurt from looking at the author's outline collection. In the end, I still handed it over to the writer to handle.

This book is like eating weird-flavored jelly beans, with 5 flavors arranged in different combinations.

Do you know how redemptive it is when a novel about a woman who marries into another man jumps directly to her past relationship with a man in his thirties who is still single, after only a few dozen chapters? It's truly a masterpiece of witty and disgusting writing.
