I really like this novel and I really like the main character, at first glance it seems like a normal quick transmigration/world-hopping story with the same troupes and clichés but I don't mind this. When I start reading these stories, what I care about is the fun to be have reading it and how good the main character is. But as I continued reading the first three arcs, the author's writing style does a great disservice to the story they're trying to tell.I started noticing it during the second arc, the first arc was competently written and I was hooked but starting from the second arc I felt as thought the author had changed her style a lot. In the first arc, the different events that happened in the world was described well and so were character dialogues. It felt as though things were happening and even though it followed normal cnovel conventions of writings (less descriptive, more dialogue). I thought it fit the type of story it was.But with the second arc, I felt as though there were less and less dialogue/character interactions, most events were summarized and even character interactions were summarized. The time skips were also confusing and the worlds not well explored. I felt like the plots were getting grander but the writing getting worse with it.With these types of cnovel, the qt/world hopping kind, the focus is usually on the characters with lots of small scale interactions. The author seemed to have forgotten this and moved to wildly skip around and summarizing everything, interesting events? Summarized. Interesting conversations? Summarized. Interesting characters interactions? Summarized.Nothing was spared and the story felt way less impactful. I'll try to continue and read because I like Wen Ying, hoping the author will improve in her writing or go back to what she did before for the first arc. I'll update with more thoughts as I get further in the novel.
