Black Lotus Physician’s Survival Guide Chapter 73 Discussion

(this was written at 60% progression)

SO FAR.

Overused theme, some generic aspects with its own differences, written pretty safely with stable quality and pace for better or worse. Maybe not at all a masterpiece, but it's still interesting especially for those who like this theme. 7/10

This story is probably build around shou and gong's relationship progress which is very common and valid way to write a romance. It's impressive that author can still make good story with plenty of good side characters to supplement it. Story like this has its weakness, for me nothing major of in this one.

The writing style, tends to show every steps in linear (with some flashback). I felt I was truly there with them, but I never think I need to be there every steps. I think strategical time skip can be used especially during the time MC faked his death. This part is where I stuck with. Be careful of spoiler: Spoiler

I was uncomfortable to witness first hand how ML acted crazily after MC's fake death especially when he didn't think whether MC wanted to be found. This is one of my pet peeves when characters don't think MC might have AN opinion. I wish this will be addressed later in the story. But for now it's a bit hard to read.

Beside that, time skip and other perspective can make the story more poignant, polished, or distinguished from similar story. I am just saying the used writing technique is standard.

Is this book worth it? For me it's kind of a good read up until that points where I stuck. I still don't know how it might ends (I may add it later) so the end might justify the means and you might find this really worth it. Everyone have different pet peeves.

I actually like MC quite a lot and a lot of the side characters. Their deepness and complexity might be lacking, but their development and story involvement are enough for this kind of story. Nothing out of place. PS

Spoiler

Plenty readers thought it's illogical for MC to be able to do what he did. I dont think much about this because I am not medical major. I have a feeling it will be explanained later.
