Let me just start off by with this: this novel never crossed my mind to read it because of the TITLE. It honestly reminds me of many popular translated (I guess not translated as well) Chinese novel titles on here that feel shallow and flat. Though I am up-to-date with the current chapter I’m still not an advocate for the title even now. HOWEVER, let’s just say that in this case the story overpowers my disapprovement of the title that much more. This novel popped up on my recommended novel list for the 7 day reading challenge. With little to nothing I wanted to choose to read from, I decided to give it a shot since who doesn’t like a hot ML who’s a captain?! (plus other reviews who claimed the novel is fluff & candies++👍🏻) Anyways, I’m very impressed that I was hooked onto the story within the first 5 chapters. As mentioned in the synopsis, FL was given another chance to live her first life. She changes for the better and becomes a much more mature and charming person (plus a bit of feistiness to top it off😉). And it’s even better that she and the ML meet near the beginning of the novel🥰 Their love is to die for! They have great trust in one another, good communication to prevent major misunderstandings, and so much fluff and PDA for readers to gladly drown in😂 No shame! AND ML is such a cutie and deserves the world❤️ He is very respectful and always gets the consent of FL before he engages in anything intimate with her. They really are each other’s world🥺 (Heck, where’s my Kiho out there?!😒) The story progression feels very steady despite the two leads jumping into their romance right off the bat. But there is still a good pace that it follows to further heighten and reinforce their relationship. A couple of grammar and spelling errors but it is dismissable and doesn’t hinder the reading progress. Overall, LOVE the story so far. I remember the author mentioning how the story might end between 200-250 chapters, which I think is a wise idea. I can see how this novel could be extended with longer arc lines and more fillers to drag the story out to 300-400 chapters. But I think the value of those -250 chapters will far over weigh that of something more lengthy for the sake of adding more. Lady ‘Crab Goddess’ Tilly X Captain ‘Cinnamon Roll’ Kiho fighting!🥰❤️ And fighting, dear Author! Take care of your health and those around you to give us more lovely content🙈🤗

LIKEThank you for the lengthy and honest review. This made my day. 🥺❤ I was planning to change the title from Mommy Villainess to Mommy Villainess (The Lady with a Crab Mallet). I already talked to my editor. The process is kind of a hassle. I might give it a shot once I have more free time (I'm kinda busy these days). Again, thank you so much for the review. ❤❤❤
