A Blessed Daughter Chapter 171 Discussion

This story is actually pretty good read, better than I expected. It is mostly about MC making money and having a bit of family drama. If you are here for romance then go search somewhere else.

Nonetheless it is quite engaging story, I wasn't bored reading it and didn't skip any arks because I thought they were too tedious.

As far as historical novels go this one is just enough accurate for that time period. I have seen in some stories how madams from prestigious families curse like sailors. There is no such thing here.

Some things are a bit farfetched in the story, but not critically so, it is mostly about how much MC is allowed to get away with her actions as a woman.

Spoiler

The most mind boggling thing for me was the fact that everyone was cool with MC being a doctor. I mean 13 year old little girl wrote a prescription or gave some weird concoction and you didn't question it at all and drank with no hesitation. ??? I know that at 15 you are already good to marry as political tools, but it is different. It is about their own bodies, their health, their lives. You don't take someone on their word like that.

MC is such an interesting character. Mostly kept reading because of how much I like her. She has been ab*sed in her previous life and in this life kinda 50/50 and she still remains kind. Not a pushover though. Her ability to stay calm in all situations is simply amazing. On her place I really would have snapped at those annoying guys ten times already. I enjoy her very polite and logical discussions (quarrels) with others, mostly her own mother and sister. Seriously MC is the gem of this novel.

Okay, now why not 5 stars?

First of all.

The amount of tropes that you really don't need.

a) MC has transmigrated into novel. Seriously the amount of info we get about the original novel is practically couple of sentences.

MC doesn't work with that information at all. There wouldn't be 'oh some new business will appear there I am gonna invest' or so so. It is only used as her reason to stay away from some people.

Honestly I am a bit confused about the setting as a whole. Maybe I zoned out a bit? Or accidentally skipped?

It is stated that MC transmigrated into novel but then they will say that she has lingering feelings from original owner about people whom she will meet only in the future. So how does it work?

b) MC has a space. This thing is really f*cking useless. I think she could really do without it.

c) MC is from modern times. We know nothing about what she did back then. I just feel like it could have been a bit more explained.

d) switched at birth. It is important to the story and isn't redundant. But with all of above it feels too much.

Second of all.

MC is OP. Extremely so. She can farm even on the most barren lands. Medical Herbs, rare spices and crops.

She is medic who somehow knows how to make those old medicine with the herbs you pick yourself from f*cking mountains. And her prescriptions are of course better than all others physicians.

She can cook, brew wine, make conserved food. Literally anything.

She is also successful businesswoman somehow.

I seriously dunno how can she do all of that. It would have been annoying if she wasn't such levelheaded low-key character.

The third issue is boring ML. If that guy existed in real life he would have been the most greenest flag ever, But it is novel. So he is just not interesting, not as male lead not as a character himself, I am just that much not curious about him and his development.

I racked my brains how to describe him.

Bland as f*ck. That's it.

Sometimes can get a tiny bit jealous but not show it in any way? That is seriously the most notable thing about him...

I really hoped someone else would be ML lead. Because this story actually has some pretty interesting side male characters.

There were so many options and author chose the most boring.

Her sister Spoiler

To be honest I have mixed feelings about her. I feel like author wanted readers to have negative feelings towards her. She is never displayed in a good light and portrayed as annoying white lotus.

Honestly I like antihero characters, if she straight up admitted to herself not even to others, that she indeed wanted to get rid of MC then I would have probably liked her. But her hypocrisy is disgusting.

From another side she is just 13 year old little girl who was spoiled by her parents and lived in a 'well' her whole life. Probably for the first time? she is experiencing jealousy, fear of abandonment and so on. She was taught to depend on her her family and then on her husband in the future. Obviously now that the possibility of being unable to depend on her parents came to be, wouldn't it be completely out of her wits? Yes, her actions are less than pleasant, but kinda understandable?

It is just feels comical that the biggest rival of MC is a little girl. Her counterattack to keep her position doesn't feel like some ingenious evil scheme but desperate fumbling of a drowning child.
