To be fair, I'm only judging by reading the first 8 chapters, the last one, and the spoilers here. Don't take my words for the truth, these are just my own thoughts and conjectures. It's just that the type of novels and MC's I enjoy are in a pretty narrow genre... the MC's are always smart and cold and can see a scheme from a mile away and can punish the schemer on time, without getting in harm herself. This novel is more 'dog-blood', needs more drama, needs the MC to get in dangerous situations that seem close to death, etc. It's just a genre I don't enjoy personally. So my opinion is very biased. It still should be a decent enough read for people who aren't as narrow-minded as myself.
