It's a web novel, so the slowest of burns, but it's a good ride. I do think that in all those pages there could have been a bit more development of the secondary characters, as some developments seem to come out of nowhere, but I was generally pleased with the level of detail.
Love my girls Lin Wanyue and Li Xian.

If you're reading for the romance, you'll be disappointed. The two main characters don't actually interact that much in the early and middle parts, and it takes WAAAAAY too long until 
the MC's gender is revealed to the FL.

The FL is too manipulative and unlikeable for me, but I love the MC. This story is primarily more about the MC's military journey than anything else, and that's fine because the battles are fun.  Oh and court intrigue with the Princess.

I'd give it a higher score if not for some of the conflicts resolving too quickly to be believable, and the story taking way too long to end. I feel like there's too much unnecessary parts to the story that just drags it down.

It was such a brilliant story from start to end. I love the pacing, the characters, and how it ended. From start to finish, for five days straight, I continuously read this book even during school breaks. It didn't make my head ache, it didn't make me want to stop because of information overload, and it didn't make me want to look away because I knew it would end.

Any author who can end a book without making it string too tightly on my heart is a well respected author of mine. I can safely say that the conclusion did not make me want more of what has ended. Their story has ended, and we got what we were promised. Nothing can beat a happy ending. Thank you very much for such a wonderful book author!

On a side note, I highly recommend this to everyone. It's so fun and easy to read. I know opinions will differ but I hope that people would give this a chance when they find it someday.
