Whenever I see a notification for a new novel by Butterfly, I can’t help but get excited, like my heart is soaring along on Butterfly's wings. I'm eagerly following this novel, which already feels like it's going to be another masterpiece. A huge thank you to the translator, Koffeam, for making this possible! I tried reading the raw version (as I’m one of those impatient binge-readers!), but machine translations just don’t do ancient drama justice. So, THANK YOU, Koffeam!

One of the things I love most about Butterfly's novels is the... more>> depth of the protagonists' minds. They always understand how the world works and know how to navigate it. It’s great to see characters who have grown and learned from their experiences, becoming who they are by the time the story starts. And of course, I adore how the MC and those around her often leave everyone else speechless with their antics or with their acceptance and love for the MC.

I’ll be checking in every four days to enjoy the completed chapters! <<less

I'm genuinely surprised I don't like this. I don't know what's going on. I even like the one that most people don't like I think that she wrote with like the gender dynamics being switched. But this one is just quite boring. It's like all of the things that she is good at doing and she's written like similar stories before but this one is with less set up and I would say slightly worse written. Like not enough set up like not enough description like not enough character. Not... more>> enough just not enough like there's just not enough. It feels dry and it feels stale and it feels one note. Like I can't care that that guy likes her because I don't know why he likes her. I can suspect that she did good things for them but she can't even remember them much less it being explained to us. So for like over 20 chapters we're seeing him obviously like her and do things outside of his position to be close to her not extremely so but still In a way that you're like okay but why do I not care about this? Because we don't know why he likes her. We don't. We can guess but that doesn't give us emotional feelings. We don't emotionally feel compelled to root them on. At least for me. As a reader. Because the setup is not there. This is very bare bones in my opinion. The transitions are also a non-existent. I feel like sometimes she will just say a sentence I don't know if the translation but it's just like a sentence and that's the transition from one scene to the next. It's not enough there's just not enough description. It's just unfortunately lacking even though this is my favorite author. It's missing it's unique charm and it's missing unique characters and it's missing its unique descriptions. It's just missing something and it's really boring. It's so unfortunate. <<less

I normally love this author's work, the light hearted ones as well as the more serious novels. I'm surprised that I am losing interest after 30 chapters and moving to another novel.

There are some humourous moments, for example in the way the emperor manipulates his ministers (for the greater good).

I feel like the main issue is that there is no tension in the book. The heroine has no great obstacles to overcome.

The antagonist seems to pose very little threat. They seem to have the planning ability of a 10 year... more>> old, and all their plots are easily thwarted by our heroine, most of the time before it even starts. His accomplices are captured easily. He has no real power. (How I love the tension the cat and mouse games in The Grand Princess. There is none of this here.)

Besides this, everything comes too easily to the FL's desires. Even the ML and their family already approves of her. She has emperor and empress' approval, she has her family backing/support to do whatever she wants around town. She doesn't need to care about her reputation and in this society wherever she is, that's still ok (she is getting marriage proposals from a top scholar). In short there are no obstacles for her.

In contrast I feel like Ning Wangfei is a much more interesting/intriguing character to me than the FL. She's stuck in a marriage where she's not valued, she has real yearnings for freedom and she has big hurdles/limitations of what she can/cannot do. I feel a lot of sympathy for her. I'm intrigued by how things will play out for her. Unfortunately she doesn't get a lot of "air time" in the novel, at least so far. <<less

I love the prince! I love the prince! I love the prince! Important things should be said three times.

This story was such a treat! The perfect blend of romance and intrigue. The characters were well-crafted and so likeable. I like that while our FL has the reputation of being an idler, because she likes participating in various leisure activities and hanging out with her friends, she’s never idle when people need help. It’s fun to see how righteous, heroic and kind she is to those who deserve it and how... more>> she fearlessly and cleverly defeats people with bad intentions.
Spoiler

I adore the fact that the royal family each have their own memory of a time she helped them out that she herself doesn’t even remember because she’s so used to doing kind deeds.

. As mentioned above, I love the prince and just how in love he is with the FL. I was amused to see the silent efforts he made to impress the FL before he made his feelings clear and utterly delighted to see just how doting he could be when he finally confessed. I appreciated how both his parents were doing their best to help him win his crush over lol. Love seeing supportive and involved parents! It doesn’t happen often in these novels. The other side characters were also very charming.

Compared to other historical novels by this author, the plot wasn’t as complicated as it usually is but I am okay with that. I’m not sure if it’s just me but I feel like starting from Ascending, Do Not Disturb, she’s writing more lighthearted stories? In any case, whichever way she chooses to write, Butterfly’s Shadow Beneath the Moon is undoubtedly a genius and I’d like to thank her again for another fantastic read. ❤️ <<less
