Just like what @CasBrin said in her review, the novel is similar to "The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage." The difference is, RMEML is a BG novel and Rebirth of Poisoned Empress is BL.I agree of what @CasBrin said that the punishment is a bit too active in the novel. But what can I do? I can only bear it and quickly skim thru it.But if you want a really ruthless MC with the RMEML settings, this is for you. It's not as good as RMEML but it's still nice.I'm still at chapter 159, might edit this later after I finish the novel.Edit:In the mid of the novel, the ruthless tone and mood mellowed down. Maybe because the family/inner courtyard scheming arc was done, and the novel moved on to the throne arc. The middle part of the novel was also surrounded more with family, friends, weddings, birth, and children.Although it's nice, the warm tone is a bit too much for a novel centered with the word "revenge." I mean–! It's good we have fluff after that tiring family drama but it's too much to continue the fluff after having this tone and mood for numerous chapters already. Can we please continue the ruthless mood? The novel is unbecoming of of revenge. [Sigh] I won't say anymore, I'm afraid I'll get more angry the more I write.While reading, I feel the ancient setting wasn't really that well-made. The novel comes off as modernized to me, even some of the characters came off as a modern person. The settings is really messed up to me. I'd like to think why its modernish is because a transmigrator came there in the past (which is true, he's already dead tho) and influenced the era, one way or another.I wish they used the terms like di, shou, jiejie, gege, biao mei, and other terms for different things (like for structure/buildings, people in palace, officials, wear/clothing, and etc.).Still not finish, might edit this again later.
