3 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

The relationship started off nonconsensual, but I still enjoyed the pairing just because they're so cute and funny. Their chibi faces were hilarious.



Title:
Reborn As the Ex-wife of the Paranoid Male Lead
Author: Zhi Tang
Chapters: 122 chapters + 2 extras
Publication: 2020
Summary from Novel Updates:

Jian Shiwu was reborn. In the previous life, relying on his family background, he forced the male protagonist Shen Cheng to get engaged to him.

Only after his death did he realize that Shen Cheng was terrifying.

The man’s power was overwhelming, and he retaliates against everyone by means of brutality, and single-handedly built a business empire.

This taciturn man in everyone’s eyes has never been a soft persimmon, but a dormantly waiting wolf.

After the rebirth, Jian Shiwu decided to stay away from Shen Cheng to keep his peace

At the beginning:

Parents: “I heard that you like Shen Cheng, do you want to get engaged to him?”

Jian Shiwu: “I’m afraid you want me to die!”

Friends: “I heard you still like Shen Cheng?”

Jian Shiwu was shocked: “It’s fake, don’t believe in rumors, don’t spread rumors!!”

4.5 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

Jian Shiwu is a precious ball of sunshine that must be protected at all costs. I laughed and had so much heartache for this kid! Such a likable guy must have been raised by great parents, and it definitely shows. 

His mom was the MVP. She was so supportive and was a steady backbone in Jian Shiwu's growth. 

On another note, the translations were a little confusing at times like when you use machine translations. There's a lot of typos, too. Jian was autocorrected to Jane quite a few times in the first half.

5 STARS - I LOVED IT

MY REVIEW: 

I really liked this novel! If anything, it was too short! There were only 4 arcs in total! However, each arc was packed and interesting. 

I liked Su Yi's gradual romance and how OP she was in every world. Normally, that would make the story boring, but because Su Yi was always trying to be a low key cannon fodder, she never really stood out outrageously except for being super beautiful which is usually her character design in the story lol. 

She actually reminded me of Chu Xiang from Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder. Instead of being like most people who transmigrate with a goal of starting their life over, Su Yi actually uses her transmigrations as a vacation because she's bored lol. She's just there to live a life of eating, drinking, and enjoying the scenery. Eventually, she has a partner that usually finds her or she finds in each world, so life is even more amusing. 

Overall, it's a good quick transmigration story. The author could have continued with more arcs, but alas, they didn't.
