My Thoughts on 80s, After Breaking Off the Engagement, a Cold Military Officer Spoils Me Endlessly

This novel, "80s, After Breaking Off the Engagement, a Cold Military Officer Spoils Me Endlessly," promised a delightful blend of romance, face-slapping, and a touch of historical setting. After diving in, I found a story that largely delivers on that promise, though with a few caveats.

First Impressions

The premise is immediately engaging: a strong female lead, a cold military officer, and the backdrop of the 80s in China. The initial chapters pulled me in with the promise of a satisfying revenge plot and a sweet romance. I was excited to see how the protagonist would navigate her new life and build her empire.

What Works Well

The "face-slapping" aspect is definitely a highlight. If you enjoy seeing characters who underestimate the female lead get their just desserts, you'll find plenty of satisfaction here. The protagonist is undeniably OP, and it's fun to watch her effortlessly overcome obstacles. I also appreciated the sweet and relatively uncomplicated romance between the MC and the ML. There's no unnecessary drama or annoying love rivals, which made for a refreshing read. Furthermore, her dedication to charity and national development was an admirable quality that made her character more appealing.

Areas of Concern

While the constant victories are satisfying, they also lead to a lack of real tension. The plot felt somewhat repetitive, with similar scenarios unfolding again and again: someone underestimates the MC, and she swiftly puts them in their place. I also found the "villains" to be somewhat one-dimensional. I had hoped for a more cunning and formidable antagonist, but was disappointed.

Final Verdict

Overall, "80s, After Breaking Off the Engagement, a Cold Military Officer Spoils Me Endlessly" is an entertaining read, especially if you're in the mood for a lighthearted story with a strong female lead and plenty of satisfying comeuppance. While the plot may lack depth and the villains aren't particularly compelling, the sweet romance and the protagonist's overall competence make it an enjoyable way to pass the time. I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
