Porcelain Rose Chapter 6+8 Discussion

It was so difficult to read this novel. The first chapter leads to a link to read the chapter, nothing difficult. Chapter two's "next chapter" link is broken and it starts back at the top. OK fine I'll just go back to NU and click chapter 3. A bit annoying, assuming I'll have to continually do this, but there's only 6 more chapters. But chapter 3 is in spanish and the auto translate google thing isn't popping up. So I'm manually copy and pasting into google translate, which limits translations to 3.9k characters. So the entire time I'm guessing what's the limit and not. Now for the real show stopper! Like the link here for chapter 7 leads to chapter 6! How Lovely! The links are a total mess. I don't think this story is worth the time/mess. It could be so much more but it is mediocre at everything.

The worldbuilding- its typical chinese writing style, where they try setting the tone by setting the scene once in the first few sentences and barely ever bring it up again. repeat for the next chapter. It fails trying to set the done, like entirely. There is no tone.

The characters- They have characteristics. They are bland. They technically have motivation, but I mean its bland, even adding salt would making way more interesting its THAT bland.

the plot- is solid like slime, everyone is just pointing fingers. That is a very weak way to write it.

So I read chapter 8, the link wasn't broken and it was in english, thanks Foxaholic! This should have the Drama tag/genre also.

In all honesty, this shouldn't have been written as a mystery. The author should have written it as if we were witnessing the case first hand, the feelings would be more intense, not come out of left field, the characters would have proper motivation, the worldbuilding would properly set the tone. I'm not sure what's the point of the MC (and his sidekick- he's totally pointless- the author should've merged them into one) like at all. The characters are strong enough as is that the plot would be perfect and hold itself, there is literally ZERO merit to write this as a mystery. unless its in chapter 7

Conclusion-? Ehh...? Its okay, not worth the whole mess though.
