3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

I really liked all of the arcs. Each client had different situations they wanted to get out of, so Rong Ya had to work hard to figure out how to solve the situation. I also loved how realistic the settings were. For example, Rong Ya's first client was a student who needed to pass her high school examination with a relatively high score. Rong Ya thought that it wouldn't be too difficult to pass high school curriculum since she was in college when she passed away. However, as soon as she opened a math textbook, it was like a completely different language for her lmao. She had to come up with a super intense study plan to relearn everything. 

Each world was distinct and interesting. The were a lot of characters and conflict to keep you interested in seeing how Rong Ya would complete each task. I also liked how Rong Ya always had different identities. She was a student, a young adult, a mom, etc. Her interpersonal relationships increasingly became more complicated as she completed her tasks.

I didn't expect there to be a male lead and romance because the short summary didn't mention anything about it. However, it was a nice slow burn. And the male lead's origin was pretty unusual, so I liked that, too. 

I think the author really likes the love interest falls in love first and slowly boiling a frog in warm water trope where the male lead is interested first and slowly gets the female lead used to his companionship and presence first before confessing. It's not a bad trope, but it's definitely the common theme of most, if not all, of the books I've read from this author.

Overall, a really good quick transmigration book!
