I definitely recommend to read the manhua adaptation instead of the novel BUT if you really like the manhua then reading the novel will be very interesting. There are a lot of events that are not shown in the manhua and the novel is often written not only in the MC's pov but also on the ML's, so you will be able to understand better the thoughts and feelings of them at critical parts of their relationship, specially the feelings of the ML, which are kept more like a mistery in the manhua.I also really really enjoyed the extras of the main couple, it was a treat that we got to see more of them after all the events of the novel, Spoiler
and their happy lil family of three melted my heart. Their lil kid is just SO PRECIOUS and the dynamic he has with both the MC and the ML is very sweet,
[collapse] so definitely make sure to read their extras! And don't listen too much to all the reviews that are being harsh with the MC, I have read my share of useless MCs in danmeis but he definitely is not one of them.SpoilerI agree that mostly on the first arcs he is useless because of his powerlessness and mental deficiencies but later when he gets more freedom he definitely is a quick learner and an active person, he made a name for himself, became a miracle doctor, helped his loved ones whenever he could, saved his tribe from an epidemic, saved the ml's life more than once by his own means etc. Etc.
[collapse]I also wouldn't call his character as a victim but as a survivor because this author really threw everything that could possibly go wrong to a person at him and he suffered and got depressed at times as anyone would, but he kept going on. I think people overall like more perfect characters with big personalities as MCs but this MC is just a very human character. I actually found that interesting, he has his inherent flaws given by his fate and by external circumstances but also has many positive sides that can be overlooked but are still a big part of him, just like any normal person around irl.
