My Thoughts on After Crossing Through Ten Worlds, I Failed To Run Away

First Impressions

This novel grabbed me from the start with its unique premise: a protagonist returning to his current world only to be confronted by eleven of his past conquests. The initial chaos of multiple male leads vying for attention promised a wild ride, and I was definitely intrigued. It’s not your typical world-hopping story, and that’s a good thing.

What Works Well

The author's ability to create distinct personalities and backstories for each male lead is genuinely impressive. They aren't just cardboard cutouts; each has their own motivations, traumas, and ways of expressing love. I found myself constantly shifting allegiances as I learned more about each of them. Huo Wuling, in particular, seems to be a fan favorite, and I can see why—he's persistent, a little unhinged, and utterly captivating. I also appreciated how the author explored different types of love, from innocent first crushes to possessive obsessions, and everything in between. The pacing is also well-managed, with arcs resolving quickly enough to keep things interesting but not so fast that character development is sacrificed.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the chaotic energy of the story, I can see how some readers might find the constant jumping between timelines and characters overwhelming. It requires careful attention to keep track of everyone's backstories and motivations. Also, the MC, Ji Ning, can sometimes come across as a bit too passive, more of a reactor than an active participant in the story. He's considerate, but sometimes I wished he'd be a little more assertive.

Final Verdict

Despite some reservations about the ending, I ultimately enjoyed After Crossing Through Ten Worlds, I Failed To Run Away. It's a thrilling, often funny, and surprisingly emotional journey with a unique premise and well-developed characters. If you're a fan of quick transmigration novels with a bit of a twist, and you don't mind a little bit of chaos and heartbreak, I'd recommend giving this one a try. Just be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions and a whole lot of male leads vying for your attention.
