Agree. Honestly thought there would be more face slapping but so far it's been lackluster. The FL doesn't kick ass and honestly is so ditsy =_= The ML is just pure useless and frustrating.

I think this review hits the nail on the head with this light novel. The story feels more like it's driven by the side characters/minor antagonists rather than the protagonist. The FL feels lackluster despite all her skills and a lot of the problems that exists wouldn't have even been a problem if she had taken care of them early on. It's almost like the story is designed to infuriate the reader on purpose with negative IQ characters with the memory of a gold fish and a passive FL who supposedly wants revenge.

World building in this novel is okay but as far as story development and characters are concerned it's not great. I honestly don't really like the FL and ML. The FL starts off with an independent personality but later as she gets more entangled with the ML she becomes more dependent on him. The ML is your typical cold domineering type but he's so jealous it's ridiculous. Going as far as being jealous of the FL spending time with her family and taking her away as soon as she spends "too much time" with her family/friends which is just plain toxic and rude. FL doesn't seem to notice this as an issue though and keeps telling her family how nice ML is (uh seriously??). As far as cultivation is concerned, it's more like the FL gets lucky in mystic realms and gets stronger rather than putting in a lot of hard work. She doesn't exactly take initiative to get stronger either rather she gets pushed to by either the ML or her master. Antagonists wise I'd say 90% of the trouble she gets are from crazy "supposedly noble women" who are in love with the ML =_= The remaining 10% being her own proper antagonists. The ML doesn't really take care of these women either so they're like flies that keep coming to annoy you. Also the FL and ML have a problem with always underestimating their enemies like "oh they are just a jumping clown, we can kill them at any time". So when they are about to end the enemy the enemy escapes only to come back stronger and more annoying >_> This happens A LOT. Overall, I would rate this novel not the best but not the worst either. The only thing really keeping me going are the mysteries at this stage.
