First word: messy. Second word: melodramatic. Third word: fanciful. And that's me being nice.All the arcs are melodramatic with big amounts of "ridiculous". For example, a pseudo-sibling campus romance story ends up involving political strife and a royal family? Just to add touches of tragedy and longing?? Although not all arcs are as overboard as this, still.Also, it's pretty shallow. In almost all the ancient china arcs, ML as emperor easily gives up his throne. ML as a handsome president almost 30 never even kissed before. Literally just projection of schoolgirl dreams smh. Plus there's every troupe in the book. Especially through the little theatre / ML's perspective at the end of each arc, I get huge amounts of goosebumps because it's so embarrassing. He always ends up showing as the outwardly cold inwardly passionate man of preteen dreams, who's wholly devoted to MC and whose entire life revolves around MC. MC is the sun that shone in their dark night, the light of their glory, the goddess of their worship. *barfs*. Ya, that's why I ended up skipping them later one.Furthermore, each time ML falls in the drop of a hat. At one point she's like "wow this world's ML is chasing me so rare" but it's total BS because almost every time she glances at him and he's interested. Affection meter also means almost nothing besides just showing accumulation of the things MC does because it might just become 20/100 but this ice-cold man somehow proposes. Fortunately, the MLs aren't very affected by the fact they've lived with MC before, so there is still some semblance of chasing (which I really enjoy in a story, except maybe this one).The very best point about this story is its length. As a QT story where its arcs are all pretty independent, it means you can skip around which I did. Not all the arcs are absolutely terrible, my fav one is the current last one that's still uncompleted (ex-wife). At the very least it can still kill time.Anyway, I won't vote for now. I'm really tempted to give 3stars, but in light of its sheer amount of chapters I would consider bumping to 4stars. Btw each chapter is pretty short, but still.Btw the *way better* version of this story is QT: male god, come here.
