Review detail

I avoided this for months because I thought it was another cheesy love story. Author Moon has proven me wrong, though. Unlike other transmigration stories I have come across in Webnovel, "Accidentally Married a Fox God" accurately portrays the feelings and bewilderment of a 21st century millennial office girl suddenly transported into a fantasy world devoid of the modern conveniences and social rules she is accustomed to. The reader is drawn into her very relatable struggles, as she makes sense out of what has happened to her, then figures out how to survive in this strange world. Heroine Li Meirong is as real as one can get. She has no superpowers or special abilities, only her wits and common sense to use her modern knowledge to get by. One can't help but worry, cringe, and cheer with every hurdle she faces. Based on and inspired by traditional East Asian folklore -- the kitsune of Japan and huli jing of China -- this story paints a dream world filled with shimmering landscapes, fantastic beasts, and celestial beings, brought to life even more with the scents and flavors of Asian spices and cuisine. These provide a beautiful backdrop against which Li Meirong's journey of self-discovery unfolds. How she learns and grows in strength and knowledge despite her incongruity, is my favorite part of the story. How she falls in love (and discovers the truth regarding her destiny in this world) is but the icing on the cake! Very well written with few technical or grammatical errors, this novel deserves a place in legitimate literature and anime. It is at par with other, established novels. Plot and build up is very well paced, with skillful use of literary devices such as foreshadowing and symbolic references. Characters, even the villains and side cast, are alive and very relatable. Cliché tropes are minimal. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

You're worth it! I rarely write reviews (XP be damned, hahaha!). I used to write too (now an editor IRL). I know how it feels, to be totally consumed by it. It's like giving birth. I love LM. She's real, not a "will someday shake the heavens" type of MC, but a real woman. Courageous, never-say-never even if she's a misfit, compassionate heroine. You've got a precious gift. Keep the fire burning!

I cant possibly agree more. I avoided this after seeing it pop up on am add for facebook for months.... I dont typically read romance novels... I am more fantasy fiction. However... I found myself unable to put my phone down and even staying up late at night just to turn the next page. I could absolutely see this in an anime or full hardcopy novel. I would be first in line for sure. For me its a big deal and i will relate to you why. At a young age i developed writters block so severe i could not even read a book after my literary teacher died while i was in the middle of writting a childs fantasy novel that she wanted to publish for me. I was in the 6th grade. The first author that pulled me back to the world of reading was r.a. salvatore with the drizzt novels of forgotten realms. The second author to be able to draw me in was j.k. rowling.... You my friend are to me on par with these most notable authors. And i cant wait to read more. You have had me laughing so hard i frightened my husband... Crying and holding my breath! Thank you for sharing this world its one of the most unique persepctives i have ever come accross.

Sometimes it's okay to enjoy a Cheesy story. However, this one has an amazing amount of depth that I agree with.
