This is pretty good but certainly not without any faults. Though, I think if you are able to suspend your disbelief at times and look past them, this will still be a decent read for you.Things are quite slow-paced (initially at least) but there are parts that don't go along with that. This seems like an issue since it creates a sense of dissonance. Li Yunan is a good example of this. His appearances were fleeting and his feelings developed very quickly and even that might have been ok if you actually get to see the feelings develop but it is more or less just dropped on you. When it's like that, he doesn't seem like a character that you get to know and love but rather a tool to be utilized when the author feels like making the FL jealous. This is especially apparent when his presence seems to all but vanish in between, frankly, I haven't seen him serve any other purpose at all other than a means to make the FL jelly. This not only contrasts the otherwise slow pace of the novel but is somewhat uncomfortable to read.This is a preliminary rating, as there aren't that many chapters actually translated. If, after, 383 chapters the characters get better developed and the loose ends are tied up nicely then I might bring the rating up. As of now, even the main characters could do with more development and the side characters especially need more development.
