Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang Chapter 114 Discussion

It's pretty decent but imo slow. This is very true slice of life. I think it's borderline boring bc of the MC's personality. On one hand I like salted fish straightforward characters, but other than growing plants, touching the ML (& having sex), and eating, what does she do for plot? I mean the ML here is typical ancient china chauvinistic "don't tell the woman what happened ". I understand it, but it's unnecessary bc her personality already is "idgf unless you tell me this is important or someone is unhealthy". The ML is good besides that.

The most "complex" characters are her sister in law, the prince, and his wife. Not that the characters are 2d, but I'm trying to say the MC & ML after you get to know their character setup are Boring, stable, predictable etc to me. Bc they don't do anything different or beyond their setup. Their interactions although cute I guess, but it's feels repetitive for some reason. It's not like I don't like unproblematic couples! But here, their interactions feel like remixes of the same concept. Idk I think it's mostly hard for me bc the MC is disengaged by her simple personality, which makes the action so far away from the MC and by proxy, Me the reader.

This is for true slice of life fans with no drama or conflict (so far), unproblematic characters, and fluffiness. I dropped bc look I want more engagement from my MC, even in thinking at least.

Spoiler

Regarding her personality: there's a moment when someone tries to do a trick, steal something or whatever to get the ml's attention while the MC is preggers again. The ML before he deals with it tells her there's a thief apparently so stay inside & don't worry about it. Ofc she's like ok I won't then - literally no thoughts just food- and immediately says: "I'm hungry D: tho". Like..... she's not a human I get it but yea it's just hard for me. Of course the ML later hides the whole thing from her once he deals with it, predictable af at this point.

she has about a handful of moments besides the beginning part where she does something for others, or makes a response to someone other than her family and friends. And it's been over 100 chapters... Although it gives light to the other characters who I like & I don't need her to be op, but I want her to just be more present! mfing shit. f*ck make her more op as long as she actively does something damn it. Definitely not for me.

Good story,  but so much repetition.  The main character drags and has little growth until the end.

This is so far different from other ex-stories.  But is the story completed?
