Review Detail of Yokubo in Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss

What I liked: 1. Scheming/Revenge. This book has one of the most satisfying face-slappings of the entire genre. This novel is all about watching the MC scheme, and seeing the enemy unknowingly fall into her trap. Seriously, the way everything is set up makes the enemy's downfall feel so good. 2. Plot twists. A lot of the arcs end in an amazing plot twist that just blows your mind. 3. Well written. The translator does an amazing job (read the translations up to ~500). And the Chinese author's writing is pretty decent too. 4. MC Character growth. It was nice to see MC slowly open up and fully trust those around her. 5. Page turner. Some arcs start slow. But besides that, it's rapid action all the way through. What could be improved: 1. Flat side characters. I had a hard time telling the side characters apart from each other until 1000 chapters in. 2. Ending was cliche. It felt disappointing, since I saw it coming from a mile away. But it could have been worse. 3. Slow romance. As in love-interest-appears-once-every-200-chapters kind of slow. But when it does happen, it's adorable. 4. Arcs can start slowly. The first ~20 chapters of some arcs feel like an info dump. I know it's setting the scene for the face slapping later, but sometimes it was a real chore to get through.
