I had enjoyed this until the 8 yr old had to carry a useless but pretty Scarlet Johansson because she acts worse than a 8 yr old and is creepy in her behavior towards a kid. And i swear the author cant talk about a female without stating how pretty she is every two seconds. Considering he is a 8 yr old this seems to be over done and just turns creepy. Somehow authors can even turn a story about a young kid be surrounded by beautiful woman. Bet if he was old enough this would be harem. And how creepy the author is it may still turn out to be harem
I loved the story in the beginning, liked it in the middle and tired of ot at the end. The FL never completely or even remotely solved her problems at the core just the symptoms. She let all the troublemakers especially her half sister jump around causing issues, she would face slap and they would jump around even more. But the ending was the worst. Her ml died! Because she didnt solve her crappy family issues and apparently she jist let them go afterwords because there's no mention of them after. I hated this quickly put together ending for the pure fact that the FL never appreciated what she had untill he was gone and still never learned even after rebirth to solve her issues and it cost her the ml and she still waits 100 yrs to die? Guess she wasnt that heartbroken. This truly was a story of the ML solving the FL money problems while pretending to be broke so he could stay with her and the FL treating him like a boy toy up to the last minute. The most pitiful character in this story is the ML and he deserved so much better than the wishy washy FL.
The original died unknowing he had a specific body type that crashed his cultivation. The new guy that transmigrated knows and decides that he would be discovered with the personality change plus the original was bullied and harassed by the clan so he goes to the auction house like intended and plans to distance from the clan. Then he finds out the ppl who killed the original was his clan. So yeah..his clan is shitty. This isnt the original so why should he carry the burden of pretend for ppl who dont care abt him and wants his life? The smartest thing a transmigrated person can do is get away from those that knew the original. All this is found out by chapter 20.
The mc is weak all around. Phycially? Cant walk 5 steps without panting. Mentally? She panics at every turn. Emotionally? She is easily flustered and super easy to manipulate. She is the type that is passive in a verbal fight, she is so very easily flustered that she just cant speak so she loses in majority if not all verbal sparring. Of course she is the typical fl that has no strength barely any smarts. Very little to redeem her. She is there to have babies and point out something now and then. If she wasnt the fl she would be a background character that got less than a minute of screen time.
Was great until she met the ML. Like most strong female novels [especially asian one] soon as a strong FL meets the ML she becomes a "little woman" in his palm. Built up alot of hype for a badass woman only to disappear into smoke when met with the amazing male that will always be better than her in every way because *insert your favorite or many sexist reason*
The MC doesnt know anything but shows goodwill to her uncles family to the point she pays off their debt and gives them food and money. Now many may feel bad for the uncles family but she lost her dad because her dad felt indebted and left his two children and wife so his brother could stay. No one would look kindly upon the uncles family. Then she really didnt do anything bad to them but stopped favoring them then they got pissy. So im all for the mc ignoring the uncles family. They are both wrong but she is barring the punishment why they moan their victimness.
The MC has a huge advantage but cant save herself from being kidnapped and nearly auctioned off. She is 30 in sould but act like a tween. She cant even defeat her white lotus twin sister. Overall she is a weak FL that barely scapes by. And since she is reborn with a system/space to be that weak with all the advantage is boring and irritating.
Ive had this thought since chapter one. He survived 10 yrs in a zombie apocalypse with that naive airheaded childish personality? How?! Oh wait plot convenience. Im losing my patience with this MC. He has done nothing since getting back except stumble around crying while shoveling snacks in his mouth. No stockpiling. No fortifying. I agree with his thought when he realised he rebirth. Why him he is a usless nobody. Agreed! The only intelligent thought this mc had. Apparently his first and last one.
It starts pretty good. The FL is weirdly still childish even as a reborn adult but eh I can overlook for now. She is all about making money and getting back at her backstabbong family. Then some worrying flags popped up. -her system nearly kills her and her respond "you dont know...ok thats fine" the system has issues repetitively and she still doent question it or get angry. -she acts like a 15 yr old at best at age 10 when she died after age 18. -time skip happened and now she is a master hacker but lets people slander her online. She lets them slander her to her face and barely responds. Then it gets worse. She now teaches and works for free because "everyone should blah blah". Basically she is none reactive to 90% of people and lets them badmouth her to her face then rejects money left and right and works for free. Like the author wanted her to be more "angelic" the type who speaks softly and never talks back to volunteering. When she started as a girl who had backbone and knew her worth. Her "little revenge" against her family barely mattered as she still doesnt stand up vocally against the "sister" By the time the "brother" finally tells her and she runs off like a preteens first confession I was done. This girls maturity has not gotten better she just got more meek and none reactive. End result? She became boring.
Why is she so naive when she was an adult mage who ran a clan in her past life? Running a clan is not all sunshine and daisys but as the story goes on she gets more and more idealistic and naive in her thinking. Like she is truly becoming a little rich miss who never suffered. Its getting annoying.
Slippery slope has started. Something Ive notice in most novels when people go back in time or "ancient era" is that they don't follow the market price. If an average maide makes 3 silver a month but you pay 7. And they dont do anything but the basic. Or if a product cost 10 silver and you charge 4 then inflaction happens and you disrupt the market. Other business owners wouldnt tolerate it. And its really unrealistic. Like a second gen rich person who doesnt know the value of money.
Savior complex of saving the damsel? Yuck but fine I can deal with that cliche. But giving up on all the loot? Thats the most brainless move of all. He swaers to makr money and yet gives it away first chance he gets.....and he is super polite. Is he a goody goody even after everything? How boring. With being betrayed and having a name that involves scheming. Plus his goal is to make money I was hoping for a neutral money grubber at best. What we got? Cliche hero complex, gives away money [goes against his goals] and is so polite that it feels lile a shy teen speaking to his elders more then talking to a stranger.
I wanna like the story.... But isnt she to naive to after all that hardship? I guess that can be cute but same time a saint "forgive all even if the run over a infant" type is far fetched and boring. Does she grow a backbone? Stop being grateful to people who watched her starve after her father died saving them? The biggest thing is she jump at the chance to leave with strangers....which I can see if she had an ounce of scheming in her. But she naively followed two stranger... Human traffickers would love her. Shes the type to thank someone fore selling her.
Ok this mc is just to dumb for me. He makes rash and stupid decisions left and right and boost its to do his judgment. No its due to you lacking common sense and having plot armor otherwise youd be dead the first day with your trusting self that quickly become the chef/maid for his neighbor....because....yeah no real reason other then. Plot.
This might end up a good story but the translation or just the writing kills it. Dialogue is picked up as if something was said, ie answering a question no one asked. And the mc is way to careless with blabbing. We have met 4 side characters so far and she blabbed to 2. Thats half already and it isnt even close to the apocalypse yet! The the thing with the space makes the least amount of sense. Im boiling it down to translation as there seems to be missing parts to the story.
Walks into someone she didnt see because she was daydreaming "he could have said sorry" Uhh girl dont walk around with ur head in the clouds and why would someone that you bumped into be the one to say sorry for your lack of attention. Seriously her way of thinking is worrisome.
