I'll do the stats for now! (◕◡◕🌸) CN Title: 婚途有坑:前妻有喜了 Author: 豆丁丁 Author Rank: Great Status: Completed Year: 2016-2017 Chapters: 4400+ Total Words: 4.56 million Total Recommendation: 3.31 million Raw Link: not on qidian anymore ⬛⬛⬛ If you want a proper review please refer to the other's lol but seriosuly superb translation, feisty female lead and no r^pe beginning.
Story reads like your typical divorce romance with a don't need no man female lead and a possible gay male lead who divorced for a couple side hoes. He also acts angry and domineering and seems to have been sheltered from the world by enormous walls of cash. Usually I'll be able to take a star away for some small error in translation or even two for a lot of them but I didn't notice anything so 5 seats on translation. I can usually deduct a few stars for a small release chapter count but these guys went above and beyond with 22 chapters on release. Wow very nice. I can finally nit pick on the story development. The plot is fleshed out well but it's annoying to read veiled conversations and references to other characters behaviors without having them actually named up until then. 4 stats. Character design is only okay, if I could rate 3.5 starts I would it iant so bad as a 3 stars but 4 stars is a bit much. The male lead is like a wood block who onl knows how to act angry and domineering. The antagonist female is nearly braindead and super horny for hot guys and big walkers kind of ridiculous. Mc is a sassy girl who dont need no man. There hasn't been any introduction into the world setting, I can only assume it's based in reality (China). I doubt its magical realism but no world building yet. 3 stars. So far we have don't need no man female MC, idiot easy to scheme against Male MC, Father who disowned female MC, step sister MC and her mom who want everything the rich dad has. The female MC mother was schemed against and throw out by new madam of the family. The male MC has a gay love interest and has declared himself gay on national television along with another beautifully gay CEO. Also the antagonist sister is already planning to kill off the female MCs child, the child being the only reason this story started in the first place. Oh yeah female MC has a token best friend who's dumbfounded by everything.
The ML has pretty much given the FL every reason to leave but she doesn't have big enough spine to do anything. Both of them have their problems with the FL and her misunderstanding and the ML and his low EQ villain ways, but in this relationship the ML is most definitely the one most wrong here. For ever 100 chapters all you see is their arguing put on repeat and when you think the story will progress and the FL will step up she pussies out and the situation returns to the beginning. Honestly this story is such a disappointment.
After reading 26 chapters. Different story line from what we read in general. A strong FL, ML who understands her circumstances and found a way to get her back. There is the suspense of who is making trouble in the background - Shui family or the Cousin who seems friendly with both FL and ML, the doctor?
The translation is good. However, story, plot and character development is rather slow. Most chapters would contain the same story line making it annoying. Both the FL and ML's characters are stupid, stubborn and masochistic bec. They would always find ways to hurt eachother. If you're the patient type, who would not mind reading the same plot for most of the chapters and is also willing to spend your coins on a predictable, frustrating and annoying story then, this one is for you.
This book is honestly going to give me nightmares . The only reason I read until the paywall is because of the reading challenge . The ML is extremely abusive, more abusive than most villains in other stories. But of course, not one character in this entire story seems to think so. Instead they blame the stupid FL for not ‘Appreciating’ his attention . If this kind of trash is promoted as being a romantic story, not wonder so many people do not even realize that they are in abusive relationships
