It was entertaining enough that I mtled the entire thing but it was probably the most frustrating and unsatisfying ending I could possibly have read? Do not expect plot lines to be followed through. 700 chapters and I dont think I was satisfied with a single plotline. So many of them just straight up never go anywhere??? And don't even get me started on the ending. While I understand it's a classic HE for a romance novel, I think it was a sh*t end for LX's character development. The writing was also incredibly inconsistent both for character personalities, characters actions, and plot points. Also feel like I should mention that for a modern times romance novel about rich business families, there was a significantly larger amount of off screen mu*ders/amputations than I expected? Also a straight up lack of regard for life in the main characters at times.Spoiler
Like LX is a f*cking psychopath at times. There was one instance where she gets drunk at a work function and some shithead harrasses her while shes in the hallway which admittedly is terrible and obviously deserves retribution. Except apparently the retribution is to kill everyone?? Oh but shes still got some humanity left because she leaves the poor workers alive. Like, this is supposed to be our heroine? The person we're rooting for??
[collapse]Honestly, the more I think about it and type out this review, the more I end up hating it? I could probably go on a long rant tearing the novel up, plot point by plot point but that would make this incredibly long. Having said that, I did finish reading the entire thing so it was still a brainless way to pass time. 700 chapters and I feel like it wasn't worth it but, if you have nothing else to do, it might be entertaining still. Just don't expect anything to go anywhere.
