Read to chapter 5 ...

This story is pretty good.  The writing has a relaxing feel to it.  Good to read when you're idle and need a leisure activity.

This was very well written and the english translations are superb.  The story was good but it was not my cup of tea.... more>>

The continuous strife created by the fl lasts too long and becomes exhausting and monotonous towards the end.  I don't like this fl for this ml.

The parts that are good between the fl and ml are really good.  But there are not many of them.  And the parts that are bad between the fl and ml are really bad; even more bad than the parts that are good and there are too many of them.

This story takes complexities and makes them even more complex.  If that's your thing, then this story is for you.

I can't really say I regret reading this because the jiaoren (merman) was really majestic and pure, but I could have done without it.  I suppose it's worth reading at least once.

Also, this story is tagged as a tragedy but it has a happy ending so that tag should be replaced with 'angst' instead. <<less

The first FULL 10 chapters can only be found on either of the 2 websites listed below:... more>>

1)  https://www.wuxiaworld.eu/novel/ill-just-live-on-as-a-villainess 

2)  https://librarynovel.com/novel/ill-just-live-on-as-a-villainess/.  

There are 2 other websites where 28 chapters can be found.  However, the first 12 chapters are missing the second half of their content so confusion will inevitably follow.  You can find those chapters here: 

1)  https://www.novelhall.com/I-ll-Just-Live-As-A-Villain-15510/ 

2)  https://www.novelcool.com/novel/I-39-ll-Just-Live-As-A-Villain.html 

The story is good but the amount of content you're able to read in 28 chapters leaves you wanting and I don't think this story is going to be updated any further.  All in all, I think this is it for us English readers. 

The English translations are decent.  It's obvious the translator didn't use spell check. 

P.S. Something creepy happens in chapter 24. <<less

This story goes beyond the flesh and delves into the love of one soul for another.  Although the concept is deeply romantic, the story itself is lacking.... more>>

The first half of the story is better than the second half.  There is a long break from the ml to go into past events.  This was done to clarify things but I found it a little annoying.  The influx of s*upid people in this story is also annoying.  Not to mention frustrating drama that continues to escalate into ridiculousness.

With the inclusion of the side story, this story had a nice ending.  All in all, this story was decent.

The english translations are decent at first but they get better towards the end of the story.

Also, although Blake (the ml for this story) is always jealous and rather possessive, he is not the yandere.  The yandere is the second male lead.     <<less

What to say.....it's just smut.  A short story with a relatively happy ending I suppose.  It's good because the smut is not too depraved compared to others I've read.... more>>

The english translations are also good. <<less

This is a story that becomes more likeable the more you read it.  It brings the famous phrase by William Shakespeare '"All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players"' into sharp focus.... more>>

Rigid aristocratic lifestyles with so much posturing and rules it's exhausting.  So many observances towards politics, formal procedures and etiquette causes a little boredom.  A lot of explanation versus actual story-time or action causes the story to read a little like a textbook.  I imagine an ancient dynasty of China was probably very similar to this.

After long, you grow used to this type of world and the story becomes more tolerable and less dull.  Continue reading it and you grow to like it.

Excellent english translations. <<less

This story reads like a shoujo but it also contains mature and adult content.  A cute love story that will make you cry.  The ml is very cute.  The english translations are great.... more>>

Also this story is tagged 'Tragedy' but it has a happy ending so I think that tag should be replaced with 'Angst' instead. <<less

In this story, the author caters and strokes the MC excessively.  The stroking I don't mind but the catering is to the point where the situation or scenario becomes a little unrealistic and dismally predictable.  Many scenes containing fortunate conveniences.  It's like the author has given the MC both the golden finger and perfect luck.... more>>

In addition, I found 2 plot holes in this story.  They're not big so it's not a major issue but still, they're there.

Also, I don't know if it's the author or the english translator but I noticed the word 'exquisite' is used too frequently.  Again, not a major issue, but it stands out.  Overall though, the english translations are good.

All in all, I don't think I really like this author all that much.

So far, all the ghosts in this story are 'pg13'.  Hence, the story is not scary and there is really no danger.  There is also no intrigue with any of the ghosts interactions.  The author doesn't do enough with each little ghost story.  It's basically quickly summarized and resolved swiftly with no looking back.  I noticed the author tends to use this summarization technique during the mcs' acting career too much as well.  This type of writing feels lazy or amateurish; like the author doesn't know what or how to write it.

This story has a strong start.  It's good in the beginning but, by the time you get about halfway through, the story becomes frustrating and tiring.  I am sad to say that I was only able to make it to halfway through chapter 126 before I no longer cared about the MC, ML or this story.

After saying all this, I only have one question remaining...  Can an author fall in love with one of his characters?  It almost feels that way.  But of course I could be wrong. <<less

This was a very good and very funny slice of life!  It contains many, many humorous scenes.  It's definitely worth reading at least once.... more>>

The ml is very innocent and sweet and the fl is kind too but with a bit of a temper. 

There was only one aspect of this story that I didn't like.  And that is the mc's relationship with her brother.  They both have a complex for each other and I find this rather disturbing.

The main story ends at chapter 167 and there are 13 additional stories (epilogues, side stories and an 'if' story).

For good translations refer to the group 'Cha’s Spoilerish Translations' or pickupnovels.com. <<less

Love has no boundaries or borders.  This is a story about love.  It was good it was just short.  It's only 53 chapters long + 5 additional chapters (2 part ML POV, 2 part Epilogue & a chapter of 'Rejected Plot Ideas').  ... more>>

The english translations are fine. <<less

Really good short story in the same universe as the story 'Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang'.  This story is about Moxi, the God of War and Sansheng, a stone by the Wangchuan riverside.... more>>

Fl is an overthinker with a fair-weathered heart.  Ml is a spirit.  He is kind with a talent for producing gourmet meals.  The romance between them feels off.

This story contains 2 large plot holes.  There is also barely any movement in this story.  It's almost all explanations, theories, observances and reflections.  There are events mentioned in past tense instead of just proceeding with the story with the event taking place.

The english translations are very good.  However, you will find sentences that won't make sense even though the grammar is in perfect order. <<less

This story is cute and sweet.  It contains a lot of teenage drama.  The fl is an immature 17-year-old with typical teenage insecurities.  She is kind but afraid of commitment.  The ml is a hard worker who is devoted, sweet and very protective.  This story delves into the cultivation of their relationship.... more>>

This story is incorrectly tagged as a 'Josei' story.  It is most definitely a 'Shoujo' story!  A good portion of it also falls in line with the tag 'School Life'.

Another tag missing is 'Handsome male lead'.  The male lead has long red hair, red eyes, red tail and glowing white skin.  The ml has an androgynous face so there are some in the story who will mistake him for a woman.  The image of the male and female depicted as this novels' cover, I believe, are 2 other characters in the story.

This story can be read in its completion at https://www.huaxiangju.com/27362/.  You can then translate the context with Google Translate.  If you attempt to automatically translate the story with Google Translate directly from this website, you will receive the translation in the wrong order.  Therefore, copying the Chinese script from this website and then pasting it onto the Google Translate webpage is the only way to receive a properly structured translation.  Or, you can read the first 30 chapters of this story at https://www.novelcool.com/novel/Married-to-the-Mermen-King.html and then switch over to Huaxiangju for the rest.

Both translations are fine.  It's just a matter of preference.  I personally prefer translating the Chinese script with Google Translate because there are funny Chinese phrases like 'Lure the tiger away from the mountain' that is not translated on Novel Cool.  There are some pronoun errors that are easily understood and any translations that do not make sense can be verified with the translations on Novel Cool. <<less

This story is cute and sweet at first but that quickly becomes overshadowed by the absurd plot that starts to unfold.  The story, as a whole, lacks in quality.  Much of the information is inaccurate and absurd; creating small plot holes left and right.

Unlikable mc and an author who unrealistically caters to her.

This story can be read in its entirety at https://www-52shuku-vip.translate.goog/yanqing/b/h7D0.html?_x_tr_sl=zh-CN&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc.  Google Translate automatically provides you with an english translation right from the webpage.  Just change 'daughter-in-law' to 'wife'.

Also, this story is tagged as 'smut' in many places but from what I read I would classify it as 'mature' instead since the scenes are described in general and not in detail.

This story was good.  I only wish they included scenes of the ml taking classes and practicing his magic along with the other students.  It would have been nice to have seen a little of his progress.  They included no classroom time, at all.  Still, the ml and fl are really cute together. ... more>>
