Review Detail of InHisName in My Debauched Devotion

Readers of Chinese novels commonly project themselves as the protagonist in the novel. So what does it say about the people who like this novel when the protagonist is basically a slave? He has no will of his own, but that of his mistress. He will stand tall when criticised by the masses, but when his mistress is displeased (small frown even) he will begin crying, desperately seeking to appease her. He cares naught for respect, dignity or selfworth - his world revolves around his star, his sun, his mistress. If she can smile at him once a day, he can forsake anything with a smile one his face. What's worse is that the system exists to make sure that the MC stays a slave - now, and forever. This novel is just ridiculous.
