My Exes Are Everywhere Chapter Completed Discussion

Finished this which is saying something cause I don't finish books that I can't stand even though I've read most of it already with only a few pages left in the hopes that it would have something more to offer (also happens quite a lot, which feels like a great waste of time but I guess I just can't stop myself from watching train wrecks until the very last moment)

I've finished it so it was a fun read but here are the things that stopped me from giving it 5 stars:

the "flashbacks", I wouldn't even call them that, more like the word dump that tells the whole ala telenovela plot of certain worlds in typical transmigration stories. This isn't the typical transmigration story however, as the various reincarnations happen in the same universe composed of three realms. It would have been tolerable HOWEVER you have to go through each retelling twice multiplied by the number (7) of his love calamities aka exes. The first would be from the MC's perspective, the 2nd from the certain ex which would have been fine, getting information from both sides, let's not be biased BUT the retellings barely have any difference from the MCs with only some thoughts from the ex added here and there. THOUGHTS that could be inferred already from their actions, regrets, words, and their apologies and then repeated throughout the story when encountered by the MC. THAT was super unnecessary. It could have been delivered in a different way that's much briefer. Beauty of brevity, please! I was finally so excited when the following exes, though I forgot what number as they weren't introduced chronologically, started to add scenes that the MC wouldn't be aware of in the long-ass, bland, and dry re-retellings.

>What happened to Ye Siluo? I can understand minor characters disappearing when they have served their purpose but what about Ye Siluo???? He's one of he dogblood exes, a potential ML, and he didn't even appear in the climax! Not even in a "he doesn't care about the MC anymore so he didn't appear or he wasn't in the loop so he couldn't show up". More like the author forgot about him as there were 7 of them and they were all jumbled so the author wasn't able to keep track. For a time, I operated under the assumption that maybe he just died from the fire of chaos when they time-travelled and the MC didn't care enough to know what happened to him so he wasn't even mentioned BUT when one of the villains was speaking from her POV the author offhandedly adds in one of the long-ass word dumps that Ye Siluo did come back somewhere but was never mentioned again.

>ALSO, MC kept on getting kidnapped and rescued which would have been fine as it's the whole premise of the story: the MC dodging the numerous rotten peach blossoms. HOWEVER, he even gets kidnapped twice or thrice by the same ex. Also happens with other exes too! Which would also have been fine if the delivery wasn't repetitive and fell flat.

>Ending was a bit abrupt and showing us more of the interactions between the main CP would have been better. I feel like most of the interactions that could lead them to fall in love happened offscreen as the author couldn't justifiably use a "flashback word dump" for that one.

>>It's now becoming clear that my main gripe is the REPETITIVENESS that occurs throughout the story when I'm here for the VARIETY Spoiler

of MLs *wink*

[collapse]. But it was varied enough that I stuck through it I guess but that was a bit sparse too. I don't know how this manages to be varied and repetitive at the same time which sucks ass.

The things that made me continue reading though was the MC, the sometimes surprising storylines made by the author just when I was about to drop it, the pretty nifty overaching plot (one of those time loops where you can't exactly determine the cause and effect).

Try reading it if you enjoy multiple MLs vying for the MC which I admit is one of my guilty pleasures. However, if you're not into that, you might find it too tiring to slog through this story.
