Yeah, so this novel isn't all that great, I mean it's not horrid, but not that good.
1. My biggest beef is the spirit stones, and the amount you have to pay despite the limited word count of each chapter. Not to mention actual money being paid for such a standard, mediocre book.
2. This novel is really, just your standard FL eastern fantasy novel where the FL was wronged in a past life, is reincarnated, proceeds to get revenge. Oh, and there's also a ML involved somewhere in between.
3. The word "inwardly" is used so much that every time I see it I want to puke. Ex. She sneered inwardly, she laughed inwardly, etc.
Hit up a thesaurus for goodness sakes.
4. the characters, other than the ML and FL, are so one dimensional.
5. there are so may pointless events that really don't need to be included
6. there is so much unnecessary commentary from the "crowd". I mean, just one paragraph is enough, but devoting upwards of 5 paragraphs on useless gossip? That doesn't even pertain to the plot? Seems like a pathetic way to reach word count, not that the latter was high in the first place either way.
7. They "PLEASE ADOPT ME" at the end of literally every chapter pisses me off. Like, darling, I hate to break it to you but your work isn't good enough for that. At least come up with a quality original work, that ISN'T cliche, then speak about payment. Not to mention that this novel, for some god forsaken reason, is already premium.
8. Also need we devote 17439205 paragraphs to the degrading of the FL? Just a sentence or two is enough. But for some reason, every time the antagonists (the Xuan family) come into play, half of the chapter will just be "omg how I wanna slap her, that slut, blah blah".
9. Oh, also, I don't know what in the nine heavens you're trying to accomplish with all the pinyin, but it's annoying as hell. I assume it's in the name of "maintaining authenticity" but putting them in the place of a word easily expressed in english? What's the point. Really. I don't know what you're trying to do with that but it's only making it harder for the readers.
10. The only kudo I can give you is that the FL is developed really nicely. But simply because one character has good character development doesn't warrant a standing ovation.
Yeah, um, basically don't understand the hype. But hey, maybe that's because I'm an actual writer, not a mindless fan. Seriously. If y'all love stories like this, there are 1874839 other books out there that have literally the EXACT same plot. And, oh, those are free.
