Agree with the review of xXLicorneXx, I also felt duped. Very good writing though, props to the talent of the author of course, but we’re just not the target audience. If you feel you aren’t too, just go and not read anymore so you won’t feel frustrated enough to write a long review xD. Also if you really liked the story, don’t let us spoil the good impressions for you. Just read the good ones.Only thing that held up in this novel is the author’s motivation to write a light story unlike their previous works. Though the definition of “light” didn’t translate well to me as everything in this novel: the stolen credits, her death, her subordinates death, the political setting, her master, the ML’s backstory, literally everything except for her welcoming personality and the pining, nothing was going to be light or easygoing. Especially with the tragic backstory and ENDINGS of LITERALLY everybody around them LOL with no resolutions. Atleast in Malicious Empress, Pei Lang deserved that. No one in this story’s background characters did. When that could’ve been the case in the start, the story generally just floated around when the protagonist wasn’t really coming off as motivated for the length of the novel. So this story, with all its potential to either be a comedic satisfying lovestory, or an emotionally-driven revenge tale, was stuck in an unfortunate, ill-prepared, undeserving between.I’ve stucked for so long just to see how the reveals are going to be handled and for the villains to get their deserved endings, but seeing as no one said anything remarkable about it, I’m letting it go now along with all my emotional investments to save my time and possibly read more story that I know I would like. Maybe Ill-fated Consort.
