Reasonably enjoyable in the early stages where the story is focussed on the development of the 'relationship' between the vegetative princess and the main character it transmogrifies into a militaristic power fantasist's wet dream. This change in focus is rather extreme with very little of the early 'sweet pet' style appearing later on, but ironically this appears to be the author's strength: the female lead is at least rather cute if not particularly distinctive, and the research into caring for those with a long term lack of consciousness has clearly been done. On the other hand while the later stages have all the common failings of nationalist military Chinese web novels---viz. Fascistic/imperialistic attitudes, casual support of genocide etc---the novel has none of the strengths that make some of these novels nonetheless quite interesting (detailed study of power politics in historical context, technical analyses of military situations and so on). It is now standard for the pattern 'dominance begins with marrying a wife' to emerge but this one strikes me as particularly bad---and I have self-confessedly low standards (I still keep up with 'Keyboard Immortal' and 'Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife' for instance).
