The Military Female Soldier With Unwavering Stubbornness Chapter 688 Discussion

The romance is bad. The ML is stands on the line between generic and digusting. Anyway, I read it for the mc's growth and not the romance. If you meet someone like Xia Jinyuan irl, run. He's major red flags. Also, people irl who call themselves "natural hunters" and call women their prey ("little fox") are usually the people you defo not want to interact with.

There is simply no excuse. Thus, I simply edit the story in my head. Here are some you might want to cut out:

1. R*pe culture Spoiler

perpetrating the idea that women must be careful of men because they are "natural hunters". Boys-will-be-boys type of mentality.

2. Lowkey gaslighting Spoiler

the ML KNOWS that he is making her uncomfortable and he is the reason, but he tells MC that she's overthinking. So, everytime the ML make some moves, MC doubts if she's overthinking.

Sometimes, they reframe ml's actions as a "battle" instead of what it actually is, uncomfortable romantic advances. In this way, MC thought that she have to respond or hide her discomfort to fight back and win. In actuality, it doesn't help the MC at all. Instead, it only benefits the ml. MC gradually stretches her tolerance to ml's actions.

3. S*xual harassment Spoiler

example a) pinning her down in front of his colleagues. MC said she's uncomfortable and ashamed so stop it. But hey, he's just "teasing" her, no biggie.

example b) kissing her forehead without consent as a "compensation".

example c) kissing her on the lips without a warning. She's literally 16 and he's 22. That's absolutely gross. But you see, since she doesn't "wholly resisting", she secretly likes it. She doesn't scold him and even laugh it off

4. G*ooming Spoiler

this is hard to ignore since it occupies huge chunk of the story. I can propose 2 options (option 1 works better for me) :

option 1: just delete the descriptions of her teenager body and basically majority of ml's pov and you can imagine that they are simply platonic (con-you'll be mentally deleting and revising a lot).

option 2: recall that the MC is in fact a 28 year old adult (con-difficult to believe since she doesn't act nor function as 28).

[collapse]

if you focus on the story as a character driven and want to see the mc's journey as she became better, it's an okay read. Romance is secondary to her journey so read it.

In my experience, these are common in cnovels. By reading many of them, I learned how to edit (inside my head) parts that are inexcusable.

Last nite. This is a bit of a nitpick Spoiler

On chapter 312, please! We need to stop describing teenager b**bs as little white rabbits! It doesn't sound cute or sexy or pretty, okay. You know what it sounds like?? F*cking jail
