Review Detail of EmpathicWan in Reincarnated as a Jade Beauty?!
Review detail
This story is a bit maddening to review, but... well... I thought maybe it was important to put something honest and not just spam blind praise. First, the novel is a cultivation novel, with mind-numbing amounts of "realm" this and "dao" that. So much time talking about power levels, realms, dantians, Qi, blah, blah, blah. That comes with the genre, and it's not fair to criticize this particular novel for staying true to that genre. However it is fair to say that this novel deviates from all the other cultivation novels with it's levels. Most of them can't decide on what power, or level, or cultivation technique is more powerful than another, so there's always some changes. This one however is all over the place with unique names and new categories. Things that were once staples of beginning cultivation, suddenly find themselves in the center of power. It's the author's choice, but it's a little disorienting. It's also a system novel, and that comes with a deluge of "character info" dumped on the reader, treating them like children who need reminders about the power of the MC. The system would be fine... but it's always wrong. The MC is constantly stepped on by people who *should* be at the same strength or weaker than her. To top it off, she is constantly put in situations where she can literally do nothing but bat her eyelashes and accept the advances of nearly every male character (except for Chen Yu, he's cool). I'm not a fan of Mary Sue characters, but having the MC be constantly stepped on isn't exactly fun to read. Because of this, the yuri feels more like the "Tragic Yuri" novels of old where you're just waiting for the MC to become the plaything of a man, or for them to never realize their love because it's forbidden. The story has a lot of promise, but it's dragged down by genre cliches and trouble with power scaling the MC. It's a curse of Cultivation and System novels, and this one is both in spades.

Chapter 13 Spar: "You're one to talk! How did a mere 3rd Disaster cultivator like you come out utterly unscathed?! And a casual use of attributed Zhenqi to instantly shatter my Earth Shell!" While Qiao Guiying is technically better than her in cultivation level here, the author had her being comparatively weaker based on Xiao Hong's 'actual cultivation' not long before that. At least that's what the author kept trying to imply. On top of that her ability in her skills themselves should cause more damage to Qiao Guiying here. But the author doesn't care. Power, level, Qi, ability. It doesn't matter unless they want it to matter. I don't need to justify myself because your reading comprehension is poor. Just because you like it doesn't mean your defense of it is correct. If you enjoy it, fine. But don't ask people to dig through something to prove their own opinions to you just because you're upset they didn't enjoy it.
BrabbitX:"The system would be fine... but it's always wrong. The MC is constantly stepped on by people who *should* be at the same strength or weaker than her." When, where? I don't remember this even a single time.
MY reading comprehension is poor? :D. What about the system saying that her power is around an AVERAGE 5th disaster cultivator level (at that point). And Qiao Guiying sometime ago Awakened her bloodline which boosted her actual combat power to around 8th or 7th disaster.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT OKAY, IT'S MY READING COMPREHENSION THAT IS POOR. :D If my reading comprehension is poor then yours is dead.

More exclamations in your statements doesn't make them right. I already said she had a higher cultivation here, but that she *didn't* not long before. She suddenly became better in just a few short chapters. On top of that there's a clear indication that Qiao Guiying should still be injured by these attacks, but she's *untouched*. This is the poor reading comprehension I'm talking about. Levels only matter until the writer doesn't want them to matter. This isn't the only instance. I can tell your only concern is protecting your dignity so any conversation about it will just make your comments become more nonsensical. Please continue to enjoy this story, my original criticism was clearly not meant for someone like you.
