The Dragon's Mighty Heart.

It's great when done right

LOL, I love the system so much. It says “understand your wife emotions or go die right now” LOL

It should be recommended in the plot to read "The Villain's Wife" first before reading this. You will never understand the depths of the protagonists' emotions if you haven't read it yet. The feeling you get when reading this novel without reading "The Villain's Wife" first is so different.

It's terribly repetitive with a lot of easily resolvable but foolishly drawn-out drama

Try Reverend Insanity, Mother of Learning, and Embers Ad Infinitum?
And I heard that the novel Deep Sea Embers is based on LOTM but I haven't tries it yet.

You’re right, next time I’m faced with a four word sentence, I’ll strive to comprehend it in its entirety. Though my comment still stands, it doesn’t sound like you’ve read this novel.

Interesting keeps me guessing whats next...
