My Thoughts on I Picked Up An Ancient Transmigration Killer To Be A Wife

This web novel definitely piqued my interest with its quirky title and intriguing premise. An ancient assassin adjusting to modern life? Sign me up! After diving in, I found myself with a mixed bag of feelings.

First Impressions

The initial chapters immediately threw me into the action, and I was definitely hooked by the dynamic between the modern protagonist and their, shall we say, unique houseguest. The blend of genres – action, romance, comedy, and fantasy – promised a wild ride, and in some ways, it delivered.

What Works Well

The action sequences are undeniably engaging, and the romance aspect, while perhaps not the main focus, is a sweet and welcome addition. I particularly enjoyed the humor; the contrast between the assassin's old-fashioned mindset and the absurdities of modern society led to some genuinely funny moments. The concept of a killer adapting to modern life is interesting. When it is focused on, it provides interesting interactions and relationship development.

Areas of Concern

However, I do share some reservations about the story's pacing and plot coherence. While the individual scenes were often entertaining, I sometimes struggled to grasp the overall direction. The plot felt somewhat disjointed at times. I felt as if the novel was going to be about the FL acclimating to modern life, but it was glossed over. The FL is very competent, and money is not an issue, so there is not much to be surprised about.

Final Verdict

If you're looking for a lighthearted story with plenty of action, humor, and a dash of romance, you might find yourself enjoying it.
