Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Luo Shuyu was pointed out by the emperor’s imperial decree to the third prince Li Mingjin, who had a sinister and paranoid personality. The two had been married for three years. Li Mingjin always treated him with no words and coldly.

In an accident, the two rounded up the room, and Luo Shuyu became pregnant by accident. After he gave birth to a son, Li Mingjin was imprisoned for collaborating with the enemy and sentenced to beheading. His one-month-old son was dying and he also received a glass of poisoned wine.

Unexpectedly, Li Mingjin escaped from prison, desperately sent him and his son out of the city, and died after blocking arrows for them. No one in the family survived.

Luo Shuyu only realized after his death that he was a supporting role in the novel “After Transmigrating Into a Book Four Big Brothers Are Fighting Into Marry Me “. The cousin from the countryside was the protagonist in the book. He was from the future world and he carried with him the goldfinger so he could hook up with the so-called big men in the book all the way to a high position, and finally got together with the fourth prince he supported and became Wu’s first male queen.

He and Li Mingjin were the villains in the early stage, and they were the obstacles in the way of the male protagonist’s ascent. If he wanted them to die, they would die.

Luo Shuyu woke up and returned to the day when the decree that he and Li Mingjin would married came. Three days later, the man who lived and died with him appeared in front of him and saw that he was still alive, young and handsome. He cried at Li Mingjin. The 18-year-old boy Li Mingjin raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, and said gloomily, “Don’t cry.” Although a bit fierce, his movements were extremely gentle.

This story had so much potential.

But the terrible writing (even in the original language) is really bad.

Also "translator" definitely just copied and pasted the Google translated version, I compared them and it basically matched word for word. Even the awkward grammar and spelling. Like "colluded" which was wrong in Chinese also got translated wrong in English as "collided".

It's such a shame. I wish I could find another similar story that actually doesn't read like a high schooler wrote it.

It’s a really good book. I like Luo Shuyu’s style and personality, he’s a very compelling MC and his and Li Mingjin’s relationship is very sweet too, with no problems except some strangeness at the very start (obviously, due to ML’s reputation and his own understanding of it), but it’s very good.

The plot has enough political drama to not be boring (in fact, all the conflict in the book is either political in nature, or because of Shen Mingyun’s brainless things, or because of Luo Shuyu’s trauma from his last... more>> life, and it works well as it don’t strain the relationship between the leads too much), but it’s quite interesting and not overly complicated; the way of writing is also straightforward and the MTL is easily digestible as well.

The character development is very well done, and the characterizations are specially good and true to their cores. Characters don’t feel stereotyped, and some details might catch the reader from the back, which is also good, in a not patronizing and well thought way.

That said, my favorite part of the novels is definitely the little theaters at the end, I was laughing so much lol (specially from ch. 86 and 96, I almost died laughing) ; the fact these are also canon conversations, aka roleplay, as revealed in the ending chapters, is specially refreshing.

Finally, the fact Luo Shuyu can manage to overpower the system all by his wits and loving family, and without ever losing his composure and grace, is very refreshing. Props to him!

(RANT) Spoiler about Shen Mingyun’s ending, and some general spoilers about the system and plot:

Spoiler

In the end I even sympathized with him. He was s*upid and petty, definitely with some internalized bullsh*t and problems to deal with, but he really didn’t deserve this ending. He was taken from his last life by the system only to aid the original world’s villain, and he was cheated and used left and right, all without realizing how he sent himself to the wolf’s mouth and how there were people who genuinely could have helped him had he done right. Although it’s a little too much to expect Luo Shuyu to forgive him (c’mon, his last life’s death was really tragic), I’m sure SMY could have led a good life elsewhere had he not been s*upid and obeyed the system everywhere. Also, although his ideas were s*upid and often selfish, he sometimes had good thoughts towards the women and princes (gers) of this era, and I really believe if it wasn’t for this system, he could have at least led a normal life in that era. Anyways, watching his kids vanishing from thin air was also pretty tragic for him, and he realized his mistakes at the end, which was also a great way from the author to arouse sympathy from the readers and very realistic for the character.

Shortly, I quite liked it despite its' shortcomings.

The idea behind this novel isn't bad. From one side we have a transmigrator with a system whose main aim is to help the 4th prince to ascend the throne. On the other hand we have our MC who originally suffered from his ignorance and regretted his life before he was reborn and now could try to re-build his life.

The beginning gives you quite a push with the drama, because it's a really sad notion that will exist with MC for a long... more>> time, until his current happiness doesn't dispell nightmares from the past. Even if the author's style is jittery, but you can feel the attempt to build the growth from grief to letting it go. Although, since this novel is in an "easy" category, the text is indeed easy and is not overweight with dramatization and dwelling into the feelings of MC. So the main part is about getting together, being low-key, building up and then taking part in the throne race.

The thing I'd comment on in he first place would be the length of this novel. Tbh I find it quite long for its' content, but it's my own preference, since there was a lot of tossing and loopholes created because of it. What I'm talking about is that similar situations of running and catching of SMY kept happening a lot, although the overall situation to me was okay.

But the ending of the "villains" made me forget the shortcomings they've gone through. Tbh the 4th prince it seemed to have suffered early dementia because of SMY, he sometimes seemed the same low-level IQ species and not the previously cunning as described. Yet I'd like to note that I can appreciate how the ending was handled for them (*spoilers* but their two kids were brought in by the system, so when the system disappeared the two cubs disappeared too right in front of 4th prince and SMY, so this made them devastated and realize how many foolish things they did before).

It's also a bit exagerrated how SMY image was over-satirized and brought up many unfavorable sides, except for his good looks. Which showed him as if a dancing clown who has no brains, no style. But from other point it was a good showcase of how a transmigrator doesn't care about the original people of this world, treats them as NPCs and doesn't shy away from poisoning people or killing children. He simply gets so confused with his own success, with satuated vanity, that he simply lost characteristics of being a decent human being.

On the other hand our MC and ML. Just good and smart characters. They basically exist in contrast to everything and are model rulers. I don't consider MC and ML being loving during entire novel a bad thing, others might find it bleak, but it's not bad to me in their case. They're a model of a loving and respectful couple.

In the end. For some reason I want to compare such story to a web drama on a scale of quality, you know it's not a big production and you can smell the lack of funding, screenwriter put ina bunch of different episodes, thus the result :) <<less

It's 2.5 stars, actually.

When I started reading this story, I was sure it would be five perfect stars. I love rebirth in historical setting, and the MC's suffering in the past life made me feel immediately emotionally involved. I wanted to see him getting his revenge and I wanted to see him happy. I also liked him very much and his interactions with the ML were so cute.

All right, I enjoyed the first third of the story a lot. Then it started to get somewhat boring. The MC and the... more>> ML are a power couple, fine, nothing seriously bad happens to them, they always win... you can only enjoy same thing same thing for a certain period of time, then it gets repetitive and uninspiring. The last time I felt a little emotional about the MC and the ML was when their child was born. After that, it read like an endless info dump. Something was happening, they were doing something, but there was no emotional involvement at all.

Plus, the author spent so much time on describing what happened to the antagonist. And these parts of the text were really bad. The author was so obvious in her dislike of him, so forceful in describing how unlikable he was - that I actually felt sorry for him, not as a person but as a character who was ab*sed by the author.

Oh, and fat-shaming. It was so crude it made me feel second hand embarrassment for the author. But at that moment I still didn't give up hope on this book.

Then the last third started. And it was so boring my eyes were crossing. Nothing was happening. If something was happening, it was slow and meaningless, or took extremely long, and was boring. I just wanted it to be over. And then everything was resolved. And it was... I don't know how to put it... so cold and brutal. By then I already didn't sympathize with the MC and the ML, and I didn't hate the villains, and I just felt uncomfortable about everything, like being in a company of absolutely alien strange people. It's not the feeling you should have when finishing a book.

It was a book I loved when I started reading it, and it was such a big disappointment in the end. <<less

I like the story because the MC is not unreasonable and is brought up well. He is also low key and good natured. The ML is very suitable for him!! And the story gets better, every after chapter. The characters and story are somewhat realistic. The villians are selfish but not pure evil.

I also like the emperor, he equally loves his son and "sane". Though as an emperor, he may have selfishness, it is within bounds.

The downside is that MC is virtuous and it annoys me.... more>> This led the villain to be more out of their bounds. And it is very irritating to see for so long the unreasonable Shen Mingyue. Also, it seems like im reading a BG novel instead of BL <<less

I'm happy that someone took this novel to translate. I read it on jjwxc TWICE and looooove it.

The story is about reborn MC after he died with his child n ML. MC gives a bit OP vibe n plans everything very carefully. Although it is a revenge story but that's not everything, the couple also developed together.

I really don't know how to explain everything but if you persist till the first time of of MC n ML (coz that's when MC dug a pit for the villain not the... more>> first time but main plot) I'm sure this novel will be interesting for you <<less

The story seemed to be promising but the less than average translation ruined it for me.

It was not about grammar but rather the lack of attention to details and even simple common sense. E.g. For whatever reason, the MC's maids suddenly called him "my son" repeatedly. If the translator bothered to proofread their work, it was glaringly obvious that such address was completely wrong and did not make sense in any way or form but they just went with it. There were also enumerable times that an entire sentence did... more>> not make sense at all.

Overall, there are a lot of novels with this type of troupe but with better translation so I rather look for them than waste my time reading this one. <<less

One thing that almost stopped me from reading this novel is seeing the others reviewers complaining about the translation.

I thought it would be reallly bad. But!

It’s true that it’s not perfect but everything is understandable - considering that the translators are working on this novel for free, I think we shouldn’t judge or complain about the translator/s.

Anyhoooo back to the story

MY LIKES:

  • It’s a good read if you’re looking for a light read
  • There’s no angst, it’s just a smooth sailing ride
  • I like that the author used time skips
DISLIKES:

  • The beginning chapters was hard to read because everything was over explained. Like for every sentence they speak, expect a long explanation. However, after maybe chapter 15 it improved and this wasn’t a problem anymore
  • The antagonist was introduced as “smart” in the beginning but mid-end of the story, he suddenly becomes “dumb” and the face slapping was not so enjoyable anymore because the antagonist is the one causing his own doom
  • I dislike the fat shaming a lot (this happened a lot when the antagonist gained weight). It felt unnecessary. It would have been okay if it was just a chapter or two but it went on for a while and I understand that not everyone likes a plump body and it’s okay if the characters personalities doesn’t like it but it was a topic that went on for a while and felt unnecessary
FINAL RATING:

  • 3.5 ⭐️ It’s a good read if you’re looking to past the time or looking for something light

I love the idea, a naive lazy to think transmigrator contracted with a double faced system versus a rebirth determined to support his husband and to throw the villains back to where they should belong. The good guy is the rebirth one.

Nonetheless, the author only wrote and elaborated one side of pov, and kinda biased toward another so it didnot play that well. Several complicated thigns werenot explained and not followed up enough. And I feel, the characterizations and plot were not solidly built from the get go so it... more>> was a free fall from there to the end. For example, the male villain played a big part as he was paired as the husband with/for the transmigrator, but his characteristic was too slow to build, either he was characterized as a wishy washy or the author just paired him with the most suitable counterpart to match for transmigrator.

As I mentioned, the author made clear comparison between the rebirth MC and the transmigrator so we could say which one was the good guy and bad guy. The author also only touched the rebirth MC with clear purpose of what he was going to do and the process of his thinking so we understood MC better. In contrast to that, we were given of what the transmigrator's impression from what the rebirth MC impression of him from what he read one time and decided 'this is how the transmigrator'. And we knew the rebirth MC hated the transmigrator so much, he considered him as someone totally useless, unimportant and should not exist in their world. In which was correct, but the fault was with the system.

The plots for the throne intrigue were good, but the finishing for each parts fell flat. And the plot line for the system was actually cliche but also wildly created by the end of it. The system and the transmigrator's characterizations were obviously brought to make a very contrasting statement from the rebirth MC. It's like to make people see how good one is, you need to low/mock the other's. That's what.

I couldnt help but feel mixed with which characters should I put myself. The transmigrtor may be lazy, stvpid, too progressive, kind, didnot follow the toxic mindset of the ancient, very open minded, his only thought was to survive, etc but that was what made him a modern man. Someone who didnot want to annoy himself with listening to what others said or critique just because he didnot want to follow them, just because he wanted to do business and be lazy in his life, just because he wanted to be free to speak to whomever. Honestly, if I meet people that still hold the ancient view in this era, I might also demean or underestimate them. Saying stuff like 'this is the 2021 ffs! Dont be so old fashion.' (Luckily, I dont).

The first time I read an ancient rebirth character which still held his era mindset and eventhough he also agreed and took few modern thinking but he didnot succumb to it. MC was not a person with the principle of modern era's person, and all the righteous view. He justified how he hated all the villains and the transmigrator for the suffering he (and his husband) experienced and had no qualms in seeing them died.

The conclusion both he and his husband took after they found out that they're in a world of novel was also something else. Kudos to author for that. <<less

Poorly written and boring.

In this 17 chapters barely anything happens. It is just MC living his (boring) life. He and ML met two really short times, so no relationship development here (in universe reason is that they shouldn't meet before weddind, but then maybe pace it differently?). For some reason ML seems already into MC. Like, when they meet for the first time, MC gave ML a letter and ML was disappointed that it is not a love letter. Him expecting a love letter/confession becomes a running joke, and I... more>> guess the author was going for "aloof and strong guy wants attention from his waifu", but forgot to show us what type of person he actually is. So ML is as interesting as a cardboard cutout.

The last drop that made me drop this snorefest: MC's mom died in a sudden death. MC suspected that she was mu*dered by his stepmom. MC tried to investigate, but met a dead end and had to give up. A couple of days prior the wedding he was taking a walk in a garden and happened to overhear a maid taking to someone about this mu*der. And not just talking, she confessed that she did it and had evidence. A confession of a mu*der that happened 10 years prior. Right in front of MC. Who was just casually strolling in a garden. Is it lazy writing, or is it lazy writing?

MC is so pathetic that he couldn't avenge his mother without deus ex machina.

Add to that a brainless cannon fodder of antagonist, and you have a truly not enjouable experience. <<less

EDIT (Completed, MTLed the rest) :

I really love this kind of trope. Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin are definitely a powercouple and their dynamic is so cute!

What's entertaining is that these plots where the protagonist battles against a transmigrator (with a "powerful" system) is really not that common as it shows a different side of the story; like what happens in the sidelines.

In a way, the fourth prince is really pitiful. Though he is cunning and sly, he is just trying to survive in a way he can. He doesn't... more>> have a strong backing nor the emperor's favor. He saw Shen Mingyun's weirdness and thought that he was the way to success.

imo, majority of the fault lies in Shen Mingyun. His self centeredness made him overlook the fact that he is harming real people, he couldnt get over the fact that the people are just NPCs, and that "I am above everyone" thinking really was his downfall.

As for the bumps in the road:

Spoiler

Around chapter 90, Shuyu and Mingjin classifed Shen Mingyun's system as "magic", and Mingjin who supposedly don't know sh*t did some mental gymnastics and just accepted whatever. It's not impossible to think this way since he was already doubting shen mingyun, it's just very sudden.

Also there are a few loose ends, for example the maids that are actually spies of the other princes, they definitely got forgotten... even towards the ending too, they didn't explain what they did with the 2nd prince of the Zhou kingdom hahaha Maybe because I've read this twice already, that's why I noticed these mini plotholes.

[collapse]

Overall, I really love it! I've been craving instant romance recently and this is really it. The couple banters like realistic couples and they have consent! (SHOCKING)

-----------------------------------------------

Previous review/rant: ↓↓↓

Spoiler

EDIT:

Someone else picked it up!!! OMG thank you so much ㅠAㅠ. Changing my rating once I've finished reading

------------------------------------------------

I feel like this has so much potential but the "translation" is literally insufferable. I had high hopes since the plot is within my alley but it's so hard to read.

*checks the comment section of the story*

Ah makes sense, "translator's" first language isn't even Chinese nor English. Hopefully a more decent translator picks this up, but that's very unlikely now... TTATT

Up until chapter 60 was decent but it was pretty dry after that. It felt like a chore to finish this novel.

I really liked the premise but the authors writing was all over the place at times and the pacing was off. I'm also not sure why the author spent so much time on the border town with not much happening.

Agree with another review, that the fat shaming parts were awkward. I'm all for promoting healthy lifestyles but that isn't what that was. Felt like grade school taunting.

All in all... more>> not mad that I read this but probably won't read again. <<less

My new fav! I really love both MC and ML. My new ultimate CP haha

After reading the first two translated chapters, I decided to go and mtl this novel. It easy to read, though I most definitely will re-read this novel after all the chapters are translated. Thank you for the translator for their hardwork.

I know this will be my new favourite danmei from reading the summary. All the checklist are there, how can it not?

Though, I was worried that it will turn to the direction which I dislike the... more>> most, that is all the male characters will attracted to the MC. AND IT DID NOT! HAHAHA The MC is the example of "you can be awesome without every male characters chasing you" and I think many novel should be like this, stop trying to prove the awesomeness of their protagonist by making every male characters fascinated by them 🙄 (though there were part in the beginning where the empress or the concubine (?) regrets that the MC is not married to their sons haha)

The mini theatre are gold haha. Both MC and ML really love each other and I really enjoyed their dynamic. Both of them really missed out each other too much in their previous life : (They are typical calm x rogue pairing haha. I really enjoyed their moments before marriage, although short but it is so cute, especially when the MC indirectly shows his jealousy to the ML haha.

The angst is not much shown after the latter chapters, but I can't help and thinking

Spoiler

seeing how the ML became spoiled as soon as he married to the MC, I can't help but thinking that in the previous life the ML also hoping that he could be closer to his wife. Alas, the MC was staying away from the ML because MC believes in the rumours, and ML was quite awkward too. The MC realized how much he missed out in his previous life and make up for it in the current life :). I have to thank the person who gives ML aphrodisiac in the previous life haha.

[collapse]

About the transmigrator, he is really brainless... most of the time, except when cathcing someone's cheating lmao. Though, I think he is quite realistic? Being a modern man who suddenly transmigrated to a novel world then given tasks by a system, how could he not thinking that all of this is just a game and not real? Tbh, sometimes I sympathize with him.
Spoiler

especially when his children are disappearing (or taken away by the main system?)

[collapse]

All in all, this is a great novel! Go ahead and read this (especially if you are tired with brainless face-slapping novel). <<less

ML is one of the green flags out there. No other concubine. MC was reborn and regretted a lot how he didn't gave ML a chance for their relationship. Before they died, he realized that ML have loved him throughout the time they were together. Now given a chance, he takes revenge as well as making everything right with ML and their buns. ❤️

Spoiler

I love the ML and the MC! They make a perfect couple. MC keeps ML on track. I love how ML tries to impress MC and loves him dearly. I love how they accept that they both have secrets and not everything needs to be shared. I honestly love how they love eachother!

The relationship between ML and Emperor is so cute 🤧! I get why Emperor likes ML the most.

I find Mingyun so gullible and dumb, so naive as well! He got fooled by the system so easily.

I fricking love third prince (ML)

THIS IS SO CUTE!!! ML AND MC GOT BRAINSSSSS! Honestly, gotta be in my top 5 list of best couples!

I like how MC feels emotions and isn’t just stoic all the time so does ML. He genuinely cries when he’s actually very distressed. They genuinely care and love eachother and it’s great to see it!

The couch is a lonely place... right Mingjin?

I find the emperor so cute man! Although, the relationships a bit you know, it’s a cute act 🤧🤧! I love how happy the emperor gets, so heartwarming

STOP IT! HAUAHUAHAHA I’m SHIPPING SECOND PRINCE ZHOU AND FOURTH PRINCE AHAHAUABHABA

MINGYUN JUST SLEEP YOUR DAYS AWAY AT THIS POINT 😂😂

FOURTH PRINCE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET MEDICINE FROM MINGYUN FOR HAIRLOSS AND THEN MARRY SECOND PRINCE ZHOU AHAHAUAHAH

Can’t lie I used to feel bad for Mingyun until he tried hurting Shuyu’s baby... Now I don’t give a shi that he’s getting cheated on nor do I care about anything to do with him.

f*ck WHAT A MESSY BREAKUP AHAUHAUAHAH, I STILL WISH THEY GET TOGETHER!

HAHAHAH I SUPPORT YOU FOURTH PRINCE AHAHAHAH ELOPE WITH TUESDAY (SECOND PRINCE ZHOU) HAUHAUAHAHA RUN AWAYYY FROM THE DUMB b*tchHHH AHAHAHHAAH

Damn... fourth Prince did his dad dirty man 🤧, tut tut tut, I was starting to like this guy as well! He should’ve forgotten about his ambition and eloped with Tuesday at this point

I’m very much shipping Tuesday and Fourth Prince together, just get married at this point. Run away... Elope together!

FOURTH IDIOT JUST TAKE YOUR SHI AND MARRY SECOND PRICE ZHOU AND LEAVE!! MINGJIN IS BEING MERCIFUL FOR NOW! 👺👹

Such a heartwarming end honestly, I love how the fourth prince accepted reality and accepted that he could’ve been an ordinary prince if he didn’t have so much arrogance and ambition. I love the MC and ML for being human and giving him the chance to see his kids 🤧🤧

Loved the ending but sadly couldn’t read the last extras 🤧😭

The translations aren't the best but still readable and I'm still very much grateful to the translators still. I disagree with the reviewer below me that this novel was ruined. I've seen other projects that have been picked up by other teams despite having decent translations already available.

I hope the translators do continue and I would still be open to rereading it if others retranslate it. I enjoyed the story that much.

Altho as a disclaimer, I've enjoyed and tolerated the occasional MTL honestly for the sake of a good story.

I... more>> really liked the MC and ML, and how their relationship bloomed beautifully. It's definitely my cup of tea.

EDIT: 09/28/2024

Surprised and happy to see this completely translated, altho I would prefer the newer translations to be completed. Ah well. Rereading from the start.

Had to stop at ch.98.1 because I'm down with dengue fever and the translations and awkward navigation through the translator's site is giving me an even worse headache <<less

Okay first of all, before even talking about the story, be aware :

  • I'm reading on my tablet and the navigation on the website (My second journey) is super annoying. It doesn't have a next button so you always have to come back here for the following chapter.
  • Be aware of the presence of pop up with advertisement. I ended up a few time on gamble website because of it. (Do not clik on are you a robot", there is a cross up right)
  • The translation (my second journey) is kinda bad (when compare to mothman) and incomprehensible sometimes... There is grammar error, idioms translate word for word, repetitions, typo, wrong choice of word, etc. You can feel there was no proofreading and edit, and we loose some of the details. I'm not the best in english as well, mind you, but things like this can break my immersion.
  • EDIT : I switch to mothman translations at chapter 33... Sadly it's stopped at chapter 64. I didn't realise they were different translation available - mothman start at 18, release date 05/04/2023.
So if you can tolerate this things, here what you can expect from the novel :

  • Even if the setup is heavy (everyone died), it's mostly a light read novel. No angst or tough situation for our heroes.
  • It's a funny entertaining piece. But don't expect to roll on the floor.
  • Shuyu's family deliver for the s*um family part.
  • It's a typical rebirthed protagonist vs transmigrated antagonist. It doesn't revolutionize the genre but it does the job quite well.
Things I like :

  • Li Minjing, the ML, is cute and funny.
  • The communication between them (specially around the birth of their child)
  • The mini theater
  • The emperor is interesting and try to control his children
  • The palace and political plot is quite solid
Things I'm disappointed with :

  • The antagonist is really weak and s*upid (it feels like they're kicking someone already beaten)
  • I have mixed feeling for the antagonist shen mingyun. At one point is the embodiment of too much s*upidity makes you evil, he doesnt do anything to change, learn or try to be better and better his situation. In the other end, he's quite pitiful:
    Spoiler

    between the 2 SA, the victim blaming on the miscarriage

    [collapse]
    , the fact that he's a free man stuck in a role he doesnt like without any freedom, and he never realised how people are manipulating him all the time ! And as none of his stick evolved, he's becoming quite boring...
Things that resonate badly with me (that tickles my personnal value a bit)

  • Sometimes I feel the existence of "ger" is to avoid to talk about homosexuality. There is a moment where MC put value in the fact that he's born ger and it's normal for him to love men, while the bad guy were in his other life a gay man. (I may have overanalysed it as it never mention a second time and the translation is sometimes awkward at best)
  • I should keep in mind to not read any social value/commentary about parenting and genre role inside this type of story.
  • Starting chapter 78
    Spoiler

    we learn that shen mingyun is pregnant again, and MC does everything to make sure he stay pregnant and deliver the baby, while other seemed to conspire to make him abort. And this without anyone taking mingyun into account. I know he's the "bad guy" but that

    [collapse]
    personally make me feel uneasy.
Final edit : I put 3/5 because I loved the beginning

But I dropped at chapter 80 with the fat-shaming following the "forced" birth of the antagonists daughter.

I’ll give it a solid 4. The translation does make it a bit harder to read and understand, I think it might help if it’s edited. Anyway, I went and read the raws.

It’s quite enjoyable and somewhat light hearted read with plenty of sweetness, good pacing and enough drama/ action to keep you interested.

I find the ending with the antagonist and system interesting. It’s an interesting read to see what happened when the book character gains consciousness or awareness and fights back.
