My Thoughts on After Getting Pregnant, I Divorced the Film Emperor

"After Getting Pregnant, I Divorced the Film Emperor" is a web novel that certainly took me on a ride. With its blend of comedy, drama, fantasy, and romance, it definitely aims to deliver a unique experience. While it has its charms, there are a few things that I think potential readers should be aware of before diving in.

First Impressions

Initially, the premise grabbed my attention. A plant spirit transmigrating to the modern world with the ultimate goal of having children? That's a plot I haven't encountered before! Throw in a whirlwind marriage, a divorce orchestrated for career reasons, and a secret family, and I was hooked. The blend of cultivation elements with the entertainment industry setting felt fresh and intriguing.

What Works Well

The childcare aspect is, without a doubt, the strongest point of this novel. The kids are described as having unique personalities, avoiding the common trope of the overly precocious child genius. I can definitely see the appeal of diving into a story where family dynamics and the challenges of raising children are at the forefront. The initial set up of the female lead trying to earn money to support her children also adds a relatable, slice-of-life element to the more fantastical aspects of the story.

Areas of Concern

However, the romance aspect seems to be a bit more divisive. The male lead's initial motivations and actions are definitely questionable, and I can see why some readers might find his arrogance off-putting. The plot device of a system forcing the female lead to have intimate contact with the male lead also feels a bit contrived and could cheapen the romance for some. I can see how this might feel manufactured, even though some readers found the ML and FL decent enough.

Final Verdict

"After Getting Pregnant, I Divorced the Film Emperor" is a mixed bag. If you're primarily interested in the childcare aspect and can tolerate some questionable romantic decisions and plot contrivances, you might find it an enjoyable read. The unique premise and the focus on family are definitely strong points. However, if you're looking for a deeply satisfying romance with a morally upright male lead, this might not be the novel for you. I'd recommend going in with an open mind and focusing on the elements that appeal to you most.
