Description

Shen Yunxuan always starts each life with a bad hand, slowly working her way up to become a winner in life. But this time, upon restarting, she discovers that people keep fighting to take her bad hand, even trading their good ones with her. Shen Yunxuan (confused, but respectful): “Is there really such a good thing?” … Shen Yunxuan isn’t as sweet-talking as her sister Shen Yunrui and doesn’t win over the elders. During their marriages, Shen Yunrui married into the wealthiest family, enjoying a grand ceremony, while Shen Yunxuan married her grandfather’s savior-a poor young man. Twenty years later, Shen Yunxuan and her husband became billionaires, while Shen Yunrui’s husband was left in a vegetative state, and the once-glorious family fell apart. After her rebirth, Shen Yunxuan finds herself before their weddings, and Shen Yunrui suddenly insists on marrying the savior while urging Shen Yunxuan to marry into the wealthiest family. Moved, their family wholeheartedly supports the swap. Shen Yunxuan (overjoyed): “When my future husband faints, I can skip fifty years of struggle by taking over his empire!” (Note: World 1 is short and comedic. Feel free to skip to other, more conventional stories if this one isn’t to your taste.) … Shen Yunxuan and Qian Yue graduate from film school and audition together. Qian Yue secures a major role as a scheming villain in a popular IP drama, while Shen Yunxuan lands a stand-in role in a niche art film. To everyone’s surprise, the blockbuster IP flops, while Shen Yunxuan’s art film becomes a box-office hit. The director and lead actors take notice of her talent, offering her three consecutive roles, skyrocketing her career to Best Actress status. Reborn before the auditions, Shen Yunxuan watches Qian Yue snatch the stand-in role and push her into the IP drama. Shen Yunxuan (delighted): “With a few tweaks, this script will definitely become a hit—no more detours in this life!” … Shen Yunxuan and Shen Rong are both daughters of a general. Shen Rong enters the palace as a consort, while Shen Yunxuan marries a young general and lives a lonely life. Years later, Shen Rong is banished to the cold palace, while Shen Yunxuan’s husband is promoted to marquis and dismisses his harem, showering her with exclusive devotion. Shen Yunxuan enjoys the respect of her in-laws, the love of her children, and a reputation as the most enviable woman in the land. Reborn before their engagements, Shen Rong tries to win favor with the elders, aiming to marry the young general, and insists Shen Yunxuan enter the palace. Shen Yunxuan (smiling brightly): “If my sister insists on giving me such a great card, how could I refuse?” … World 4: Marrying a Pretty Boy vs. Becoming a Military Wife World 5: Fortune-Telling Livestream vs. Wealthy Matron World 6: Farmhouse Cook vs. Noble Servant World 7: Orphan with a System vs. Harem Protagonist

My Thoughts on Is There Really Such a Good Thing? [Quick Transmigration]

This web novel presents a classic quick transmigration setup, but with an interesting twist: our protagonist, Shen Yunxuan, not only gets a second chance at life but also has to contend with someone else who's been reborn and is trying to steal her "good life." It's a premise ripe with potential for satisfying face-slapping and karmic justice, and for the most part, it delivers.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the idea of a strong, independent female lead who isn't overly reliant on romance to achieve her goals. The early arcs are engaging, with Shen Yunxuan cleverly navigating challenges and outsmarting antagonists who, while not necessarily masterminds, serve their purpose within the story. The translation is also quite well done, making the reading experience smooth and enjoyable.

What Works Well

One of the strongest aspects of this novel is Shen Yunxuan herself. She's portrayed as a hardworking, morally upright character who learns from her past experiences and uses her knowledge to improve her circumstances in each new world. I appreciate that she advocates for self-improvement and focuses on her own growth, rather than solely relying on a male lead. In some worlds, romance isn't even a primary focus, which is a refreshing change of pace.

The episodic nature of the novel, with each world feeling like its own short story, also adds to its appeal. It allows for a variety of settings and scenarios, keeping the story from becoming stale. Some of the worlds explore interesting themes, such as female empowerment and societal expectations, which adds depth to the narrative.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed many aspects of "Is There Really Such a Good Thing?", I did find some areas that could be improved. The antagonists, for example, often felt one-dimensional and their motivations repetitive. Their constant attempts to steal Shen Yunxuan's fate without putting in the necessary effort can become tiresome after a while. Additionally, some readers may find the "China propaganda" in certain arcs off-putting. The later arcs seem to lose some of the initial charm, with the plot becoming predictable.

If you're willing to overlook some of the weaker aspects, such as the one-dimensional villains and occasional plot predictability, you'll likely find this novel to be a worthwhile investment of your time.
