I Advise You To Like Me As Soon As Possible Chapter -- Discussion

Ermmm please remind me to avoid this author's 'lawyer' series from now on. Blegh 🤢

I did tried reading this since people are going gaga over it and I thought it'd be fun read since I love, love law and court drama and some of my coworkers are law graduates. I found the cases so real and down-to-earth, though they weren't what I'd expect to appear in a law novel and MC's solution was often not what I figured a lawyer would do. I think that's because the author doesn't know much or bother to research about what lawyers do, so the cases that appeared were more like something a family consultant or small neighborhood police station would cover.

At first glance you'd think that this MC was an unconventional lawyer with unconventional solution, but how MC worked... *cringe* actually it wasn't how a lawyer work. Do correct me if I'm wrong, but lawyers are bound within the strict code of rules, and they're sworn into it. They must have a good understanding about definitions, how to get the real facts and how to work around it to their advantage. Half-baked law graduates with minimal knowledge about the law in their country wouldn't even bother to register for the bar exam.

I almost drop this novel early into the game because the author obviously doesn't care much about a believable lawyer for a believable lawyer's sake, this one's like an insult to the profession. From this novel alone I wouldn't want to read any of their... 'lawyer' novel series. I feel that the translator cared more about researching a lawyer than author did lol

MC's personality... Left a lot to be desired. But it's actually quite realistic, you'd find many 'hard-working and experienced' graduates from subpar uni who interacted with their junior co-workers from better uni would act exactly like MC did, all high and mighty with their noses turned up, ready to give 'motivational' sermon at working hours unasked who thought that they were giving up precious ancestral secrets. I don't even want to know how she could possibly be considered an SSR-level lawyer before she moved to the current unit. I'm honestly worried about the quality of chinese lawyers and the quality of their law school after reading this novel.

Don't be fooled by the cutesy plot description, what actually happened was a muddle-headed 'lawyer' who doesn't know much about law pretending to be a good senior, with all her hostile bias and ungrounded bigotry towards someone she doesn't know much. Besides, what kind of lawyer would judge someone's personality at first glance and based on a phone call? Did the author thought that they were writing a psychologist or neighborhood police novel? 🤣 even a fanfic has more research than this novel.
