it's "bye Felicia" bc being curt is part of the insult... "see you later Felicia" is too wordy ..lol... movie quotes from the nineties for one hundred Alex.

oh I'm sure my wife and daughter will enjoy meeting you Charlene. here's to a happy cooperation. I'll have to trouble you to show up in a couple of weeks while i make arrangements for your internship.

bwahaha I Love Shu Pan! tell him girl, right to his face. lol

I'm enjoying this book. at about chapter 250 the author makes a stupid mistake that makes me enjoy it less. the plot requires an addictive drug, and the author chose "hemp". you make rope out of hemp. it's related to marijuana and has some psychoactive components, but it's not addictive either and certainly doesn't kill people unless you hang them with a rope. the lack of basic research by the author makes it hard to suspend my disbelief and hope this episode passes soon. the author would have done better to choose something like cocoa leaf which can do all the things needed for the story line. other than this big gaping hole in the story it's been a fun read, but not a serious one. I Can ignore the stupid little things, but when it drives the whole plot it's distractingly stupid. overall the writing is good and I Like the characters and their development, pei gan and aunt luo are well developed side characters that are fully three dimensional. I think this author can be awesome with some judicious editing to remove or correct certain bad choices in the plot development.

good world and character development. romance, war- religious and otherwise, familial drama, court intrigue, the whole shebang. awesome story worth your time reading. thank you author for your efforts.

you can tell it's a fantasy when you have two female doctors and there's an immediate appt available...

oh yeah and a "single sofa" ...is a chair. loveseats have two seats, sofas have three or more....

dresser not buffet. dresser is for clothes. buffet is for food.

lady Gaga couldn't even walk in 12 inch heels. just sayin.

hmm apparently the Margaret character is female now? so it's probably a pronoun issue. The names are still a problem for me. when every name in your story has to be odd or unusual it's distracting. I'm not saying you gotta call everyone John and Mary but in the real world some people have common names... at least the lead to character names are fairly normal.

the names in this book are so weird. decidedly abnormal. Margaretha is a woman's name (derivative of Margaret) but all the pronouns are male... Lexus is a car brand.. it's like reading a story with a character named Toyota. And when someone really IS named Lexus it's a woman's. it's like the author picked names randomly from a baby name book that distract from the story. makes it hard for me to get into.

I gotta admit having a hard time with this story. FL is stupid and annoying, not noble. It needs an editor. There's tons of stupid little errors and missing words and phrases. Some sections are disjointed like the court scene... "Wait, what? Who did that?" kind of scene confusion. There are some interesting plot components, like special abilities and a diversion from the "mate" trope common to most werewolf stories. The 2ML Channing reminds me of a goofy golden lab; most the secondary characters are caricatures, like the jail guard and his broken record threats... (yes, yes we get he's the bad guy, no need to bash us over the head with it). Sigh. It's decidedly a work in progress. Although an immature work, the author has potential. Many mistakes seem to be simply from a lack of an editor. When an author proofreads their own work they often overlook missing words or letters bc their brain knows what they intended, so it supplies it and they don't catch their own errors. Not trying to be harsh, giving critical feed back. I'm having difficulty developing an emotional connection with these characters. I dunno how far I will go with this book.

so... you know when they bond... your cute boy birdie is gonna wanna eat you face... right? you DO know that ... right? if you didn't ... you do now 😜 30 years of bird experience speaking... from budgies to macaws. get ready. Ironically love birds are the most bloodthirsty when they bond. I don't know what your bird is...I wish you luck!

infraction....not infarction... infraction=minor violation of law... infarction=heart attack.."myocardial infarction".

"plausible deniability"... not possible. ...and I love this story...

ceremonial... not ceremonious...

so the storyline is ok but the typos make it a word game trying to read it. things like using "casualties" instead of "casually" almost makes it fun.... almost. there's no verb tense or verb endings, and sometimes the combination of bad grammar and wrong words, make a passage incomprehensible. it needs a good editor.

The world creation and language aren't bad or I would have given this one star. There's potential here but not without heavy editing

By chapter 28 I can no longer suspend my disbelief. The author is trying to write every Chinese romance novel ever written ... in one book. The FL is a genius hacker, genius Dr, photographic memory, super hot with a big rack, a poison master with hidden weapons, who happens to be reborn with knowledge of the future ...oh yeah and she's the CEOs love interest. It's so far diverged from reality it doesn't make for a good escape story... and really isn't that why we read novels? I can take a lot of improbable in a story, hence the OP character line up in my library, but this one is ridiculous to the point of distraction. If every story arc gets interrupted by the intro of some new almost magical skill, it ceases to be a fun trip for me. It's more like riding on the freeway with an idiot driver who gets on and off at every off ramp. I'm very sad, bc it started off interesting but it's getting dumber and dumber the further in I go.

hands down one of my favorite chapters. I'm digging li jun.
