    I appreciate this novel for its raw and shrewd protagonist. My main concern is that either the story arcs are excessively lengthy or the chapters are quite brief; currently, we're around chapter 120 and still in the second arc. If you approach the story with a strict moral or righteous perspective, you may find the main character's actions controversial. However, if you view it as a tale of revenge, it provides a satisfying reading experience.

    This novel is exceptional, in my view. The character development is flawlessly executed. What sets it apart from other rushed reincarnation stories I've come across is its lack of romance elements up until chapter 604, which provides a welcome break. Each chapter consistently brings laughter, and the way it handles the infuriating yet captivating characters in every world is truly commendable.

    I eagerly anticipate continuing the read, and I extend my gratitude to the translator for their hard work. Kudos to the author for crafting such an engaging tale. I'm on the edge of my seat to see how the story unfolds!

    To be honest, this is hands down the best novel I've ever read. To those critics, have you even reached beyond the initial arc? I acknowledge that the early part might have been slightly frustrating with how she was treated, but that's precisely the point – each subsequent arc presents her with new challenges that help her grow and gain valuable experiences. I appreciate Nishu's thought process, though we might not always agree, the writing style is captivating. I'm truly hooked, and I just can't get enough! I wish I could find the translator and offer them some compensation to speed up the translation, as it's currently progressing rather slowly.

    I have recently completed the third arc, and while it didn't quite live up to the excitement of the second arc, it has still been an overall fantastic experience. The translation quality has been exceptional, with the translator providing insightful interpretations and explanations for various details, showcasing their dedication.

    This novel is truly exceptional! Initially, I had a slight letdown due to the lack of romantic plot for the main character (MC), but now I appreciate that decision as it allows for a more focused storyline. Here are the aspects I've enjoyed:

    1. The MC demonstrates remarkable adaptability, adjusting her demeanor according to each new world she encounters while maintaining a consistent moral compass within.

    2. It offers a unique perspective, as compared to other Chinese web novels. The storytelling approach makes me reconsider how I perceive characters in typical cultivation narratives. Although some MCs appear overpowered or fortunate, this novel provides a more realistic and thought-provoking take on their journey.

    3. What I find appealing is the MC's relatability and struggle, as she doesn't rely solely on extraordinary powers or external support – she faces challenges head-on.

    4. The translation team deserves praise for their excellent work. The text flows smoothly and is easy to comprehend, even for non-native English speakers like myself, though occasionally complex sentences pose a challenge.

    As for drawbacks, I'm struggling to come up with any at the moment. The only遗憾 is my inability to read the original Chinese, despite my eagerness to continue. Overall, a fantastic read!

    "This is the finest transmigration tale I've encountered. Why? Because it showcases:

    1. A world beyond mere assignment realms.
    2. Absence of a typical, clichéd male protagonist.
    3. Unlike typical fast-paced transmigration stories, the female lead (FL) partners with different individuals each time, adding variety.
    4. The FL's strength grows through her own determination and efforts, making for a compelling narrative.

    While some quick transmigration stories can feel repetitive, the organization-centric chapters bring an extra layer of excitement. I adore the FL ❤️"

    I initially read the translated version, but grew impatient and decided to check the original. This series is quite peculiar, attempting to portray the main character (MC) as logically functioning without any cheat or unfair advantages, despite being connected to a system. However, when she gains abilities, it quickly devolves into an overly-powered setup. For instance, acupuncture, while potentially harmful, is depicted as normal practice, yet modern medicine inexplicably fails to detect its effects. This inconsistency bothers me since acupuncture is presented as authentic. It's one thing if modern medicine detects nerve damage but won't treat it due to severity; but complete invisibility is illogical. Normally, I'd overlook such discrepancies, but the author emphasizes logic and realistic consequences, making the mystical elements stand out as glaring.

    The author also commits a common mistake in underestimating the time and effort required to acquire certain skills. Many transmigration stories make this assumption, which I find frustratingly unrealistic. The author seems unaware of this flaw, as Ning Shu encounters characters bringing modern skills to a prehistoric setting without questioning it. For example, Ning Shu effortlessly recites entire novels to compete with a character with a system granting them instant access to all written texts. While the setting permits some leeway, memorizing such vast amounts of content is implausible, even for someone like a fan of Harry Potter.

    Additionally, the novel struggles with a conflicting theme of female empowerment and traditional Chinese values. Despite promoting independence, stories where requesters escape abusive partners typically don't result in new relationships. Meanwhile, the MC often criticizes others for not adhering to Confucian principles, which creates an awkward balance. It's possible to be a strong, independent woman while respecting tradition, but the series fails to harmoniously blend these aspects.

    There are instances where the narrative suggests "Eastern magic" surpasses Western magic, especially as Ning Shu's abilities grow. While she may be more skilled, the Taoist exorcism techniques and martial arts techniques she employs seem to overpower the Western-style magic in the story's universe, creating an imbalance. Eventually, the MC's logic gives way to an overpowered, unapologetic Mary Sue archetype, with her morality conveniently disappearing as she uses her powers to destroy entire towns for personal gain, justified by labelling the victims as "evil." This clichéd trope feels poorly executed.

    While I understand webnovels often lack editing, the MC's constant critique of other transmigration stories becomes grating when her own work exhibits similar flaws. The hypocrisy is hard to ignore.

    This novel initially had a disappointing start or weak progression in its portrayal of the first world. It felt akin to a poorly executed shoujo manga, and I almost lost interest in the main character (MC). However, the turning point came with the second world and beyond; the story gained traction, and the MC truly shone. She defied gender norms, displaying strength and even教训了一位出轨的丈夫, which was an exhilarating scene. What sets this apart from typical fast-paced system novels is that the souls whose bodies the MC inhabited returned once her mission was complete. We witness their reactions to the反击, reflecting on the MC's actions in regaining their dignity, which was a refreshing twist.

    In conclusion, despite the subpar beginning, the book deserves a solid 5-star rating. But I deducted a star due to the unsatisfactory first-world experience. The system element felt somewhat forced.

    This novel stands out with its distinct flavor. What impresses me the most is how the main character (MC) helps others without taking over their bodies. Unlike typical transmigration stories where the protagonist assumes the identity of the deceased victim and often keeps it for the rest of their life, this novel introduces a fresh concept where the victims can continue living independently. I appreciate how the MC relies solely on herself, without relying on a male lead, and bravely conquers every challenge she faces. Her strength lies in her self-sufficiency, and she respects the depth of emotions rather than manipulating them. Although there might be no explicit romance, that's not a concern for me; I am captivated by her incredible adventures. She's truly an epic protagonist who doesn't rely on cheats or emotional manipulation, and I adore her journey.

    This novel is exceptional, with a lovable main character. Although the first storyline depicted a harsh reality, the second offered satisfying redemption. However, the third part was even more challenging, testing one's endurance due to its intense content. The translator deserves immense credit for their perseverance and dedication in bringing these chapters to life.

    The final arc, possibly the fourth or fifth (my memory is hazy from the emotional impact), featured a difficult task for our protagonist, Ning Shu. She took on a mission for a pitiful character from an anime/harem context, which was distressing to read. Yet, Ning Shu's resilience in dealing with the antagonist men and seeking justice for the FC made it bearable.

    Many male leads in these types of stories demand harsh fates for their Mary Sue-like FCs, evoking a mix of emotions. You might struggle with whether to continue, but if you're in the right mindset, Ning Shu's journey unfolds with depth. She's the true cannon fodder among the quick transmigration novels, facing an arduous path to revenge due to her unconventional background. Before her demise, she had a limited life experience due to her illness, making her relatable as a transmigration protagonist.

    Despite the challenges, give it a chance. Ning Shu grows throughout the story, and you'll find yourself genuinely invested in her development. So, keep reading, knowing that there's much more to love about her character.

    I believe this is a fantastic 4-star novel, despite the inability to adjust the rating. Here's a summary of my reasons:

    1. The absence of romance stands out positively for me among system novels. Unlike other stories where the main character (ML) falls for the female lead (FL) solely due to her uniqueness, this one avoids that trope. The focus on character development and realistic relationships makes the story more engaging.

    2. The protagonist is strong and grows throughout the narrative without starting as an overpowered (OP) character. She relies on others initially, which adds authenticity to her journey. While some might criticize her early struggles, it's crucial to understand the context – she's a newbie in a different world. Ning Shu's progress is gradual, and her mistakes serve as valuable learning experiences.

    3. The supporting characters are diverse and well-rounded, with some redeemable and others not. It challenges the stereotype that all beautiful FLs are flawless, adding depth to the narrative.

    4. The novel provides realistic consequences for antagonists, such as the harem world karma where the lack of women forces the protagonist to engage in unwanted relationships. In another example, the CEO's character arc shows the progression from sexual abuse to physical violence, reflecting a grim reality.

    5. The storytelling is generally fresh and avoids cliches, making for an interesting read.

    However, the novel is not without its flaws:

    1. There's a conflicting feminist message, which has been discussed by other readers.

    2. The use of rape as a form of punishment raises ethical concerns.

    3. Micro-homophobia exists in certain instances, particularly regarding the protagonist's transition and relationships with other characters.

    Despite these issues, the novel stands out due to its strengths, especially considering it's a Chinese work, where some problematic elements might be more prevalent. Overall, it's a commendable read with room for improvement.

    I must confess that I am seriously considering discontinuing my engagement with this story. Initially, I held immense enthusiasm for it, but the misogynistic content has reached a point where it's almost unbearable. It seems evident that a change in the creative direction, possibly due to ghostwriters, has led to a decline in quality. Some chapters, like World 5, especially the lengthy and unpleasant one, pushed me to question the involvement of ghostwriters. The scene with 7 Men attempting to assault the female lead in that world was particularly disturbing and seemed never-ending.

    However, the novel started to consistently falter around World 22, specifically Chapter 1386. It's quite disappointing, as I once genuinely enjoyed the narrative. The story revolved around a protagonist who evolved from being romantic to pragmatic and strong, driven by her profession and a desire for a fulfilling life. Unfortunately, the progressive deterioration of moral themes, character development, and even the portrayal of the AI has marred the experience for me.
