After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master
Alright, let's dive into "After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master." This one's a bit of a mixed bag, and while the premise had me intrigued, the execution… well, let's just say it left me wanting more.
First Impressions
The initial setup – a broken engagement leading to the pursuit of a master – is classic xianxia fare with a potentially fun twist. I was hoping for a lighthearted romp with some cultivation elements sprinkled in. However, I quickly found myself struggling to connect with the main character.
What Works Well
The harem aspect is definitely there if that's your thing. The potential for romance with multiple heroines, including the master, the former fiancee, and the junior sister, does offer some appealing scenarios. If you're primarily here for the romantic development, you might find some enjoyment, particularly as the story progresses. The idea of a carefree protagonist hiding his true abilities also had promise.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue lies with the pacing and character development. I found myself frustrated by the MC's apparent lack of ambition and indecisiveness. It felt like he was spinning his wheels, not making any tangible progress in his cultivation or his relationships. The cultivation aspect felt underdeveloped, especially considering the MC's supposed hidden talent. It feels like the author is unsure if they want to write cultivation or romance, and neither aspect is done particularly well. The power scaling also seems to jump around without much rhyme or reason, which can be jarring.

Final Verdict
Overall, "After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master" has potential, but it's hampered by pacing issues, inconsistent character development, and a somewhat confusing plot. If you're a die-hard harem fan and can overlook these flaws, you might find it enjoyable. However, if you're looking for a well-developed xianxia with a strong plot and compelling characters, you might want to look elsewhere. For me, it's a 3/5 – interesting concept, but ultimately lacking in execution.
