Honestly this is one of the better books in the counter attack genre and I say that with 100% confidence. For one there is no romance. (Which sorry to Side character transmigration and Shi sheng is still my wife and I'm not even going to mention the other quick transmigration book cause its just shameful, she doesn't actually do anything except kill time until Op MC appears. her vs of counter attack is to out 'Mary sue' the original FL of what ever world she went to) IMO Romance really detracts from the main purpose of their transmigration in the first place which is to get back at all the Mary and Gary sues. Like in the end the main purpose of these counter attacks is to make the lives of the people who's bodies they took over better right? not just throw a couple of lightning balls and end the world. (Again I love you shi sheng but like... you kinda suck at your job) Two, Honestly you'll never be able to read another Mary or Gary sue book after you've read this. It REALLY takes you out of their halo's to see how shallow and ridiculous they are. As I kept reading this novel I found myself slowly but surely dropping all of those " tr*sh second miss takes revenge with her epic dragon pet!" and "keeping a fox consort" and all of those things. People say that the characters in these things are pretty one dimensional but honestly I think that's one of the charms of it. Because if you read any of the original novels these characters are based off of you'll realize that they aren't much better than the way they are shown here, its just without the MC halo blinding you from how ridiculous they are being. Some of the Arc's are pretty difficult to read, mainly because of how far Ning shu has to go to get a revenge and how ridiculous it gets and some arcs are DEFINITELY better than the others. And one of the last things I really enjoy about this novel is that we get to see most of the people she replaced come back into their world and live out the life she bettered for them, its not just that she comes in to cause chaos and we never see the original owners of the body she took over. And speaking of the MC herself. she is brutal and does change her mind and opinion often depending on which world she is in but remember that she is human and she is constantly strained past her limits in order to deal with these different worlds. She hasn't even done anything that would make you rage quit the book but she had made some bad choices but its always resolved by the end of the arc and she rarely (if ever) repeats the same mistake. But would I recommend this to anyone? 100% it really puts things in perspective and makes you really appreciate those novels out there that actually write well. Not to mention that the translation quality is amazing, (sometimes even too amazing during the hard to read parts). And the author really doesn't pull any punches so go into it with a steeled mind. But anyways, great novel and I hope any of the less than positive reviews that came in expecting a "Oh Ill just cause some minor inconveniences for the others until the ML shows up and takes over my job" don't deter you from at least trying this out. :)
