Review Detail of CCmei in The Villainess Turns the Hourglass

I'll be honest, I only read the free parts. (that's just 10 chapters) I love Villainess stories, love the trope and probably will read again and again. So when I saw this pretty cover being promoted, well who could resist? But this one doesn't generate enough interest for me to continue. The contents aren't awful, some parts are even artfully placed as to pique curiosity. But it seems rather fluffed up as to take up chapter space/word count. Of course, we're not looking at revolutionary originality in this type of genre but you know it get's rather tedious. Kind of like watching a very obvious anime filler episode. The translation and editing are also very odd. Sometimes it's a very detailed and pretty line/transaltion. Other times it's...honestly really awkward, even bad. There were times in the first 10 chapters that made me go "Where is the editior? Seriously?". Overall both the editing quality and fillers contents just seem not worth it for me spend anything to unlock further chapters. Not if they're all like this (thats 200+ chapter of DBZ level dragged out filler on a story you can kinda predict already). This is just the opinion of one poor reader with limited coins/fast passes. Thanks but no thanks. Note: If you read on mobile the qutoes show up funny. They come out as &quote; instead of actual "..." but I'll blame that on WN.

I see your point but if you're interested, the novel is now also readable as comic! The comic is by now a bit further than the free chapters (so it's not complete yet) and totally worth it. It's far more comfortable to read and the art is beautiful. If you want to try it out I could get you the link. :)

I would also recommend giving it a second shot. The story is a slow burn as Aria's schemes progress & despite knowing the future she never becomes omnipotent. Not only does she have to worry about other noble's schemes, but as the story continues her actions spark a ripple affect and some people start making different choices that Aria can't foresee.
