I really loved how the plot was different, but I really am disappointed with our FL.

I know she had a very abusive past that tormented her physically, mentally and psychologically.
But I adore and admire any individual who, no matter their past, they don’t let their past control them. And if they’re hunted still by their past then they get rid of it to eliminate the “rotten meat”.

I even much prefer other stories of MCs fighting back no matter how little against their oppressors. I believe in the idea that if someone wants to harm you, but you don’t have the power to fight back. Then, I might as well die bringing them with me in the afterlife.

As petty and chaotic that may sound, the reason our FL is still being pushed around by her oppressors is because instead of forming a “back bone” or fighting force while she’s being abused, she went to the other route of being so depressed, etc.

I know this statement might sound wrong to other people because I know everyone has different ways to cope to different situations. ESPECIALLY ABUSE!

I just sometimes feel so angered by how she indulged still those people insulting and abusing her when she has all those capabilities to protect and stop her sufferings.


The saying really is true,

“Having great power, but not having the mentality matching that power is a curse”

I read this manhua as a past time, was intrigued and was enjoying the story until Ning Yiyi (the assassin girl) appeared on the scene.

At first, I just thought she was a passing character but she’s not. (● ̄(エ) ̄●)

While reading the novel, I got so fed up with her. Her and MC’s relationship started changing so fast. I guess they fell in love at first sight…

There was an arc in the novel where MC got accepted to the Xia Jing Academy unsurprisingly the assassin girl goes there too… then MC started solo raiding dungeons in the school to accumulate school points and money. Then, MC started carrying this assassin girl so she can level up so fast without doing anything. He even raided the same dungeons with her multiple times with nightmare difficulty not like it’ll kill our so OP of an MC just to give all the weapons that the assassin girl needs. Those weapons that he gave her are all rare drops from those dungeons that he raided.

My irritation is that he knew it himself that he would have level up more faster and efficiently if he stopped carrying her. THE MC himself had this thought multiple times yet he still does it….

I’m really so disappointed with the story that even though I was brimming with interest to binge the 1000+ chapters of the novel, but after seeing Ning Yiyi leveling up faster than our MC while being carried is the last straw. I’m here to read the MC leveling up not having romance with an unapologetic girl who takes advantage of our MC to level up knowing he can carry her through the whole journey. Worst part is it’s the MC who lets her be carried while leveling up. He even asked her once why she level up so slow when she’s talented, her reply was « I’m lazy » and he found that scenario cute CUTE???

Ning Yiyi comes from a powerful family, her grandfather is one of the general. So she’s spoiled rotten since she’s a kid.

If I didn’t knew the story I would’ve assumed that Ning Yiyi is the female lead of her own novel u know those blessed FL that have everything and will have everything in their call


Ohhh well that’s the end of my rant since I dropped reading the novel.
