His Reluctant Bride

Goof shit 20 days well spent story

curious about the continuation of this novel? You can read the MTL version first on : novelraw.blogspot.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm going to give a really quick summary of my review. the author takes out what is arguably the only good point in the story for over half of it and expects people to continue to enjoy. you'll understand what I mean once you get to the higher world levelsthe first Arc as I would call it which is the lower world cultivation is pretty good. It's relatively well done not many mistakes the tad bit of sexism which is normal in these novels but there isn't much nationalism if any at all. my problem is when we get to the higher world and our main character gets separated from his disciples which is whatever. my problem though is how hard the author tries to force it so that the main character can't meet up with which is honestly the most interesting part of the story is group of disciples. anywhere from being way too far to have soul guidance work or just straight up ignoring the main characters summons even though they're his disciples. or the main character being too much of a coward to go help out his disciple who was being captured by someone way weaker than the main character. it'd be fine if it only went on for like 10 chapters or so but it's already been over 100 chapters of the author coming up with every excuse imaginable on why the main character can't see his disciples. and that would be fine if that wasn't what made the story interesting. the main characters pretty two-dimensional he doesn't have much development and it's reasonable it's explained why early on and his personality is pretty on set. you know what you're getting from the main character and he doesn't deviate from it. the disciples are pretty interesting they come up with a lot of the comedy in the story and they make it interesting to read. getting rid of them for over what is currently half of the story is ridiculous. by the way I'm up to chapter 400 basically so pretty close to the end and he still hasn't met up with his disciples. usually I would just keep reading some already here at the end but the chapters are a bit too long to make me want to finish reading this when there's over 100 plus chapters still and I see no way it can end so soon and I also see no reason why he can't meet up with his disciples. another one of my pet peeves with this novel is how much the author makes what is supposed to be a righteous sect evil. I understand the human heart isn't true most of the time. however when you're supposed to be a Buddha the only way you should be able to cultivate that type of Mantra would be if you have a heart of goodness a heart of gold to say, if you are truly able to be a good person at least that's usually how these stories go and how it looks like this story goes. so why is it that every person in the Buddhist sect is a horrendous person who likes to either torture people for fun or doesn't mind killing Innocents because they were in the way. I understand how these novels work most of the time but it's really drawing a blank here when the author tries so hard to make almost all of them evil except for a very few portion.

I don't know why this is rated so low but in my opinion this is one of the best out of the recently released batch. Excellent humor, creative system, and unique plot!

It’s nice to see an mc that doesn’t solely fight on the front lines using a sword or a spear, instead this mc can buff people. Also, cat facts, what else needs to be said, go read it!

I must confess that I'm not particularly knowledgeable about Eastern Fantasy mechanics, but I suppose I'm slowly getting the gist of them. Regardless, it seems you have quite a good iteration of the genre here from what's available of your story! Here are my notes:~There are some immediate mechanical errors, but they don't really affect comprehension. Mainly, some punctuation (like in dialogue tags and run-on sentences) and verb tenses are off, and the characters' inner thoughts kind of switch the POV as they're not separated by quotation marks or another kind of punctuation. The latter issue is probably the most jarring. Some sentences are cut off in the middle by periods as well.~The descriptions and similes are on-point! They elevate some of the exposition scenes lots! The style is nestled between being simple and more complicated, and I really enjoy that as well.~I started reading this extremely late at night and forgot to comment much, but I also like the bits of humor interjected by the MC. He's a surprisingly wise person with a fixed set of principles that dictate his actions. I never found myself irritated with him, and his train of thought generally made sense.~This might be a genre thing, but it does feel like a lot of information is dropped close together and described in a very mechanical way without a lot of flow/emotion. Conversely, this is all explained quite well and isn't confusing to the reader, so I suppose it just needs balance. There's a lot of world-building done, and the mechanics feel solid as a whole with the whole flower cultivation concept being rather interesting. (In fact, I'm tempted to say this is one of the more intricate worlds I've read about on this site so far.)~As such, the pace lags quite a bit at times, especially when there's the issue in the bar. A bunch of information is dropped here and dissipates the tension from the cliffhanger in the previous chapter. (The mechanic itself that's used--of having the characters explain the world to someone else/a child--is, however, a good one! I love Huang Yin's reactions.) Another time the story is noticeably slow is when Chin Sha is described, and Morgiana's dialogue basically summarizes everything said in the descriptions in a more dynamic way.~However, since it is extremely early in the story, this isn't as big of an issue as if, say, I read through 100 chapters and had the same impression. You're taking time to build the characters and settings, so it does work!~On that topic, Morgiana is super cool! She falls and keeps on standing up for herself! (She upset me for a moment when she challenged Chin Sha, but I quickly understood where she was coming from.)~All the characters have complex motivations, and I like reading about them in detail. A lot of them seem two-faced in a sense, so I think that's interesting for the conflict.~Be wary of pronouns. When in doubt, it's best just to use someone's name to not cause confusion as sometimes, during the transitions between chapters, you don't specify that it's Xu An's thoughts. This would be fine in 3rd POV limited, but this is omniscient.~I love the showdown in the pub! I can feel the urgency and emotions of the characters during this moment, especially when Xu An prevents Morgiana from being punched.~I also think the somewhat spotty memories are interesting, and they really play into how Xu An acts. The parallels between his lives are cool!Overall, this story has a lot more insightful bits than I would have expected, and I think you've got a lot of creativity and good word choices in your writing style. It has an interesting premise and characters as well! Good luck with writing this novel!! 😄 (4.6/5.0)

As someone who had read this beta, I can tell that you all are not prepared for what is about to come in the future. The author also liked to play with people's minds and I love that about them

I must say.. the author is talented and pls who else was overwhelmed with the first chapter... everything was in cold blood.. I can feel it but my question is how long will Kai keep hiding his powers

Seems like an interesting new readI hope that you update regularly......................................................................................................

Isn't this basically a remake of "Living in this World with Cut & Paste" novel where it was discontinued to author's death. Well I liked it very much and was pretty sad when the author died and it got disconnected. Anyway this one is much spicier than that novel so I am looking forward to it.
