I reviewed the first part of this novel, so other people wouldn't have to read it: FAT SHAMING EVERYWHERE. I needed to check since this important tag was left out of the description.
However, the MC doesn't only shame people who struggle with weight by calling them ugly. She also says that people who are recovering from illness and having some activity are ugly, people with marks on their faces are ugly, and those who work hard are ugly. She is SUPPOSEDLY someone who did some great medical research and got a reward for it. The background suggests she might have been a pharmacologist instead of a medical doctor, but it's unclear at this point.
Instead of going into research because she liked it, it is painfully obvious she does not have the respect owed to patients and even abhors those who have struggles with her weight. Although she's supposed to know a lot, she has the naive idea that dieting and exercise are all that's needed to lose weight. Should she really be skipping meals when the body literally died the previous day? Doesn't it need strength in order to recover?
Not in this series because it's better to be dead than to have some meat on your bones!
That said, the storyline and characters thus far are superficial. Although I dropped the series quite earlier than I normally would for writing a review, nothing about it impressed me. The logic was full of holes. The mother who supposedly cares about her never took the host body for a diagnosis or evaluation? Issues like sudden weight gain, especially with a swelling-type distribution, can often be caused by endocrine disorders. Among other things, this would have to be evaluated.
This series is too full of hate for those who work hard to improve their health or don't have the ideal Chinese figure. Aside from the narrator hating on everyone for one reason or another, there isn't anything appealing--the plot, characters, setting, and acceptance are painfully weak.
