I dropped this around chapter 1400, which is kind of unfortunate because the mystery regarding MC and ML was about to be revealed, but I just can't stomach it anymore because it feels like I've been through 40 arcs of the same material. Issues with this.
- It's too long because of unchanging MC.
- There's no character development.
- Near Mary Sue MC level in terms of resolving plot = no tension.
The author had stated that the male lead will never be the one holding the reins of the relationship, so it sort of brings up point #2, no character development. MC mostly doesn't change for all of 1400 chapters, and the only reason I can read this much is because every arc is a mini-story. The ML has different personalities each time and plot each time, and it's refreshing.
However, the MC always remains the same. She always brute forces her way through the story with an OP sword + Lightning grenades if things go wrong. There's no wit from the story and because her attitude towards the ML doesn't change for 1400+ chapters, the story is stagnant. Even if she does change, it should have be done long ago instead of me going through 70% of the webnovel and seeing nothing.
I will recommend reading up to 10 mini arcs and pretend that the MC and ML get to live happily ever after.
2 Stars. Points taken away because of the 3 issues, otherwise I actually like this in the beginning with high marks.
