The writing quality and grammar are poor. Frequently using incorrect words like suspicious instead of auspicious which have two very different meanings "pick a suspicious date for the engagement" The usual mix ups of gender and names. The storyline is a bit confusing, she was in prison for 15 years but went on military missions during that time. She was bullied everywhere in her past life until her death but had military training. She had undercover training but couldn't see through the people around her. Lots of contradictions. if she had growth and training in prison why was she so weak and muddleheaded upon her release after 15 years. Maybe its the writing quality that is not allowing for clarity of the story.
I should have read the reviews first. It started interesting but I didn't understand her reluctance to spend any time with ML. He's not really in tge story much and they have no interaction because she is constantly running from him. I have no idea how she actually feels about him. The ending is non existent, she just stops doing everything in the last two chapters. She has no concern about what anyone else feels. the last 200 chapters were so frustrating because the story went no where.
Not a bad story but really the translator loves the word Hence. Count how many times it shows up in a chapter. I listen to the book as I do other things and it keeps throwing me out of the story. Hence is usually an unnecessary word in this book and it's over use is aggravating. The translator also puts translation and cultural notes in the body of the paragraph. I like the helpful explanations as someone unfamiliar with Chinese life, however keep it to the author notes and do not interrupt the reading flow or add to a chapter word count with these explanations.
The FL is wallowIng in depression for years. I understand her sister took over her life and pushed her out but really cut people off and move on. I'm almost a 100 chapters in and am tired of how she is supposed to be a good business person but is constantly in a daze unable to handle anything unexpected. Repetitive "she was unresponsive to a long time" "dazed and confused with a blank look on her face". Her eyes are always "twinkling" even when sad, angry, apathetic, etc. to me twinkling means laughter, cheer, goodwill not depression. Very poor word choice.
World building is extremely overly detailed, however character development is light. Not a very interesting storyline
chapter 1 and already mixing up names. neighbor man from off planet started out as Ryan then switched to Lea who is residents granddaughter. very confusing to follow. translated books need serious editing
At first I liked the storyline and concept but the FL is ruining it for me. She's so spacey and in her head, literally sitting there in a daze for hours. also how could she not have known she had sex, no marks on her body, no soreness, didn't she wake up naked after multiple rounds. I'm so frustrated with her character I have to stop. I like the other characters
500 chapters in and she's still only 4 months pregnant. Such a slow story. It's very descriptive and a lot of things happen but there is little movement in the time line. It's too drawn out. There are also a number of continuity issues and conflicting statements. it can be confusing to follow what is actually happening. Repetitive statements in the same paragraph seem like they are there just to add word count. Not a bad story but looks like it's going to be 1000+ chapters to get anywhere meanIngful.
Love the book. I find myself laughing often at how everything betrays her.
FL has the emotional depth and communication skills of a teaspoon. I like strong FL but can she not talk, at all?
