Transmigrated into Substitute Bride ‘Fu Lang’ Chapter 68.2 Discussion

Dropped for now, might come back but probably not

it was a slow book. With the way chapters are split into four parts, they simultaneously feel short but also like nothing happened. I’m about half through the book, the most this couple has done is hold hands and even that’s a struggle. I’m not expecting an intimate scene but what about a kiss?? Both of them love each other so why not?

The main focus at this moment is just the restaurant and while I love food novels, there also needs to be a story. Where’s the romance? Where’s the revenge? Why are you dragging your feet? Even the evil canon fodder feels lame with what they’ve done. I’m just staring at the ML wondering why he’s letting them have so many benefits when cleaning them up can be easy. They haven’t explained the passing of ML’s family or who did it. But no, the main focus is those who make trouble for MCs restaurant. Even then the MC is just left in the dark and seems clueless of how powerful ML is. I just don’t like it. I wish he knew, he treats ML like a sickly frail thing to dote on and that would be cuter if MC knew ML wasn’t but nope just in the dark and told to forget things, focus on the restaurant. But like I said the restaurant side of things has become very boring and repetitive and a good chunk of restaurant scenes have been taken over by ML and MC is more in the background at this moment.

I’m not sure if it’s the translation or if it’s the author but the way they skip little scenes mid chapter left me annoyed I was missing out dialogue or action. Sometimes what they write conflicts with a characters previous actions and not in a good way but in the “I forgot this happened or I need it this way to better push the story and not other reason” way. This story could have been better but it’s not executed at it’s best.

Also despite Gers being a main feature in this novel, they don’t really mention it much. The most it’s mentioned is the basic gers can have children like regular women and their bodies are weaker that’s why you can’t handle as much work. But like they don’t mention anything else. Like how do they know they’re a ger the author never mentioned a mark or them like in other ger books where that mark is very relevant to fertility. There are no other independent gers working or being shop owners or heck you don’t even see them mention as customers or average people. No men carrying babies or being pregnant. It’s as if the MC is the only ger in the world but also not really since at this point he’s just a slightly weaker person.
