I was actually really interested in how the system worked for the main antagonist. It was interesting to see how the system impacts people from the POV of people without the system. But about how the main antagonist was punished -- although I don't like the main antagonist, I also don't really like how the author went about punishing her. Having the rose-colored glasses pulled off of everyone else made sense. Having her lose her place in the family she manipulated made sense. Having all her lies exposed to the public made sense. Even the plot about how she somehow had a little sister she didn't know who her husband was actually in love was something I could accept. But then how the husband drugged her and literally had one of her organs harvested and implanted into her younger sister? That felt like a bit much to me.

I'm hoping for at least anything like the conclusion of that time when MC wearing wig and pregnant and go to his husband company. Idk if I miss it, but after knowing ML and MC is married, there is no one who question that. Jeez

But I f*cking cried when the MC was kidnapped, holy shit. When he was already accepting that he was going to die, my heart was breaking. When he was rescued by the ML and the MC said "The moon is beautiful tonight, " I f*cking cried because that was just too emotional.

I don't know what the translation for that sentence is in chinese but in japanese, this sentence can be associated to the words "I like you." So when the MC said "the moon is beautiful tonight" to the ML while the MC's all weak and so close to dying, I'm just clapping for Fu Zhen (the MC) because Fu Zhen found some courage, no matter how little, to somehow say something to the ML. (The kidnapping happened after the ML tries to act like strangers again with MC since the ML noticed the MC's feelings for himself). It was just a swirl of so many emotions and damn, I just love this novel.

Although I laughed when they confessed to each other lmao. I wanted to smack the ML, but I understand him too because majority of people would get nervous during confession scenes.

It's just that their personalities and aspirations change due to the system's interference. When they get out of the puppet strings of the system, you can see how f*cked up they feel about what they've done. It was actually very sad.

The MC is probably the most well-developed character in the story, which is not really saying something considering how one-dimensional the other characters are. We get a view of his past and his personality now. The problem is that's the only thing we get when it comes to developing him as a character. We don't get a clear view of how he was as a person before Tang WanWan, the FL, ruined his life. Therefore, we don't see how much the FL's actions changed him as a person. All we know is that he used to be close to his father and brother but became alienated from and scared of them after the FL framed him. We are TOLD that he used to be arrogant, but we are never SHOWN that. Thus, we don't really care that his pride was slowly grinded down by the two years of hardship, because that pride was never well-established in our consciousness. We aren't shown if he was happy, shy, or whatever before the FL came, and therefore the story misses the chance to accentuate the tragedy he experienced by showing us how much the bad things fundamentally changed him.

It's just very disappointing, honestly. The first few chapters were good, but then the story became EXTREMELY boring because it went from a character-driven drama about a tragic young man finding love and creating a happy family to a boring list of movies that the reader doesn't care about and a revolving door of characters that the reader still doesn't care about. I only read the Horror Movie Arc halfway through before I started just skimming the story and skipping some parts. The only reason I continued this was because I wanted to see what dogblood karmaic plot would unfold after Qin Zhao gets his love for FL back.

To be honest, this story should have cut everything past the White Castle Movie Arc, and after that it should have focused on the characters more. The other movies the MC makes and their filming process can be brought up now and again, but the story should show how type of stories he choose to tell story is linked with MC's state of mind, not that "Oh, he's making his own horror movie because he wasn't scared by this one horror he watched", it should show how MC struggles with his knew life and the fear he has that one day, the ML and those close to him will ALSO turn against him like his father and brother did. It should show how the MC and ML's pasts affect their views on being a family and parent, and how it affects their way of raising their daughter. Then, it should have flesh out the ML more. Because we know NOTHING about him. He's a cold mercenary who was born from one of China's most powerful families. That's it. That's the character. He has no hobbies or likes (he works at the company, but considering how he insisted on being a mercenary before, it's safe to say he's only working now for the sake of the MC and their new family). He has no meaningful interaction with other people where the conversation doesn't revolve around the MC. It's ridiculous how many MLs are written like him: Cold Young Master is Only Sweet To MC and MC is Literally Their Only Reason For Existing Despite the Presence of Other Characters Who Cares For ML Greatly.

We don't even know why he chose to become a mercenary. Did he want to run away from the pressures of his family? Why did he come back to China? Is it only for the mission? Why does the death of one construction worker harbor the interest of a mercenary group? We know NOTHING. His character can be replaced by a fighting robot who only speaks to MC and NOTHING WILL CHANGE.

There's nothing much to say. The side villains are all one-note, one-dimensional cannonfodders destined to die for the crime of losing their braincells so that the audience can feel that the MC is facing troubles instead of seeing him for the post-tragedyMary Sue that he is.

Other side characters are, well, just as one-dimensional as the other characters. Why did ML's father take MC back to the house? No one knows. Why does MC's brother never seem to harbor hate for MC despite him being an illegitimate child who their father treasures more? No one knows, maybe his father and mother told him not to and so he just didn't. The FL's system thing is quite a unique premise, but it's not really developed to the point where the story written around it feels real or vivid. Everyone and everything is one-dimensional and surface-level.

basically it's about the aftermath of a system story. What happened to the replaced son when a system-clad daughter arrives.

No, the girl was not good in so many ways, she basically agreed to the system so she could snatch the happiness away from a perfectly normal (def. Rich) and happy family.

The novel mainly shows how everyone affected by the system woke up and finally realized that they have lost what's truly precious and did something completely irreparable.

her husband drügged her, forced her to donate organs to his mistress/her sister and caused TWW miscarriage/infertility. Like im all for comeuppance but that was way too far.

FZ interacting with a system hmmm 🤨 I don't like it much. TWW her system made me reluctant to trust but since they're mainly fixing crooked systems damages it's fine but meeting was a bit pointless in the end at least for FZ side. The side effects it did to TWW side was... interesting very dogblood on that end. I pity their child though much like FZ baby that child is barely mentioned almost their misery
