I quite liked the novel for the most part as long as I ignored the plot holeSpoiler
The main character is super ridiculously talented with strong family connections and everything, so it doesn't make sense at all that she ended up as a no-one in her previous life before she regressed.
[collapse]and the incredible amount of military and chinese propaganda in this one. Chinese being better than everyone else is pretty much basic for every Chinese novel, but this one seems to take it a bit further than the others. Everyone who isn't Chinese is either a criminal or a loser, or both. I liked the fact that Ye Jian was such a girl boss, but a lot of things were super exaggerated; she was running at 60 miles per hour at some point (and the author had the nerve to say that she would be doing The Great Nation of China a favour by joining the military instead of doing something useless like winning a couple of gold medals at the Olympics. Honestly, which Chinese soldier can't win those medals amirite? Just ridiculous) I can't say too much about the interactions between the male lead and main character since she was still underage at the chapter I dropped and the author didn't want to make things too weird, but if you think the MC is talented and accomplished... well, he's done all of those things as well! And earlier than she did! And he's just generally slightly better in everything than she is! I honestly don't mind that but everything about this novel seemed to have potential but turned out to be such a disappointment...The author keeps praising the Chinese military and mentioning how important it is and underrated... and the soldiers have to be able to learn a new language within eight days on average but our MC can of course do it in three because she's just that amazing!!! For some time I was getting more enjoyment than unhappiness out of reading the story, but after a while, it became repetitive and predictive with the severity of the patriotism increasing and I dropped it. Perhaps the novel becomes better after 300 chapters, but I won't be there to see it.tl;dr if you don't mind extreme patriotism and extremely talented protagonists then this might be something nice for you, don't use your brains too much and there are lots of chapters so you can satisfy your desires for a while.ps. I might've given it 2 or 3 stars but I felt like I had a moral obligation to lower the ratings because of the amount of propaganda (while reading I even checked to make sure this wasn't some sort of weird Chinese textbook they were using to get more girls to join the army or something...)
