My Thoughts on Before the Confiscation of the Family Property, the Medical Consort Emptied the Enemy’s Warehouse and Fled the Famine

This title grabbed my attention with its promise of a resourceful female lead, a family facing ruin, and a dash of medical prowess amidst a historical backdrop. I dove in hoping for a thrilling tale of survival and cunning, but emerged with mixed feelings.

First Impressions

The initial chapters hooked me. The premise is intriguing: a family about to lose everything, a heroine with modern knowledge and medical skills, and the chance to loot the enemy's coffers. It felt like a fun, fast-paced adventure was about to unfold.

What Works Well

I really enjoyed the protagonist, Jiang Wan. She's depicted as a rational, independent woman who prioritizes her own happiness. She's not overly concerned with societal expectations, and I appreciated her clear-headed approach to problems. Her medical skills and resourcefulness make her a compelling character to follow. I also liked the setup of the side characters. They each have their own stories and struggles.

Areas of Concern

However, as the story progressed, I felt like the plot became increasingly unfocused. It seemed to wander, losing sight of the initial premise. I also struggled with some inconsistencies in the writing and several unresolved plot threads. It felt like the author introduced elements that were later forgotten.

Final Verdict

"Before the Confiscation of the Family Property, the Medical Consort Emptied the Enemy’s Warehouse and Fled the Famine" has an interesting premise and a strong female lead. However, the uneven plot, weak villains, and unresolved plot points ultimately detract from the overall experience. It's a passable read if you're looking for something light and don't mind a bit of meandering, but it doesn't quite live up to its initial potential.
