Things are probably getting into the true story with the mom's appearance and I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet.
To be honest, I'm much more leary about the plot lines regarding the two aunts. I'm involved enough in the story to be nervous. It would be very easy for one to end up dead and the other divorced. I think it will be a happy ending for both, but I hope the drama of that side couple doesn't drag on. The setup is too cliche to enjoy much. Feels like drama for the sake of drama. Why can't her marriage have been left at just estrangement from family due to misunderstanding, but otherwise happy. Why do more layers of misunderstanding keep getting introduced??? Ahhhhhhhh!
My main concern is that the transition plot progression also means age progression. It's impossible for the story to have romance with her being only '3' years old. MC makes some easily misconstrued statements which make the ML blush and that's it. He isn't attached to her in that way yet despite his father's heavily implied consent to his son's 'chosen' daughter-in-law. MC is going to mature physically beyond her previous 300 years in a mere 20 or less. It may feel like 300 years to the reader without some time skips considering 350 'chapters' only covered 6 months of plotline, if the author isn't planning to end the story during her childhood.
There has been a lot revealed so far, but just as much is still a mystery. My current big questions:
1. Why did her Father go into the world of a book?
2. Are the male lead/his father also from outside the book?
3. Is the 'Big Cat' from the cultivation world the ML or his father?
4. Is the 'book' world real?
5. What went wrong when the mother entered the book world? We already know that MC couldn't reincarnate until her mother existed within the book. Her father just simply isn't interested in the book world's women, so she couldn't be born.
6. Does everyone die if the book world's plot is derailed too far? (Some butterfly effects being revealed in past 20-50 'chapters')
7. How does the book world end?
8. Was this all originally just contrived as an extreme way to dissuade ML's future son-in-law?
My theory is that he entered the world to save his friend (s). Son seems to be a surrogate? His father mentioned getting rid of him to find someone to surrogate him a daughter instead.
[collapse]Edit: Saw another reviewer mention the h*mophobia (had forgotten about it). There is a small incident where the aunt takes toddler romance way too seriously. I just want to clarify that SpoilerEveryone but the aunt was okay with the gender including the grandfather. He was coaxed into being against it due to a desire for heirs. Most of the fam were just against puppy love. Aunt was pushing for a male because MC may be the only one in the fam able to give birth to the next generation in the main line. Should really have just pushed for adopting the cousin into the main family instead.
