Description

Having transmigrated from being a twenty-eight years old female forensic doctor, into a Hua Mulan that had taken off her armor and now returned home, He Mulan expressed there was quite a lot of pressure. And completely unlike the ending of the story, there weren’t any fresh flowers and there weren’t any applause. The already thirty years old Hua Mulan, who returned home after removing her armor, was already a monster in the rumors around the countryside. She was a mix of Xianbei and Han Chinese, her height was tall, her appearance not at all beautiful, her temperament was cold, her strength without a comparison. She had even killed before, wielded a saber before, and had the reputation of eating at the same table, living under the same roof as men for twelve years. She had long been prepared for a lifetime of loneliness. The line she used to refuse the emissary from Rouran, as well as the requests of her relatives: “My menses never came before”, had further become the original sin of her failure at being a woman. The He Mulan who’d been defrauded by the villagers until she wanted to vomit blood, resolutely stated: If she could do it again, she’d definitely conceal her identity, accept the position in the bureaucracy, get a promotion, raise her salary and reach the pinnacle of her life. In any case, she wouldn’t stand for this extreme suffering!

Mulan Has No Elder Brother Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator

My Thoughts on Mulan Has No Elder Brother

"Mulan Has No Elder Brother" immediately grabbed my attention with its unique premise: a forensic scientist transmigrates into the body of Hua Mulan. This isn't your typical transmigration story, and that's precisely what makes it so appealing. The blend of historical setting, martial arts, and a dash of comedy creates a captivating read.

First Impressions

From the get-go, I was intrigued by the protagonist's situation. The initial chapters focus on her adapting to her new life and grappling with the responsibilities that come with inhabiting the legendary Mulan's body. It's a fish-out-of-water scenario, but one that's handled with humor and a surprising amount of heart.

What Works Well

What I appreciate most is the focus on character development and the relationships between the MC and those around her. Many readers have pointed out the lack of immediate romance, and I agree that the story benefits from prioritizing the protagonist's growth and her interactions with her family and comrades. The author does a fantastic job of weaving in comedic moments, often through the MC's modern perspective clashing with the ancient Chinese setting. Some have mentioned that the use of modern sayings in the writing adds a layer of humor, which I found delightful. The action sequences are also well-written, bringing Mulan's strength and martial prowess to life.

Areas of Concern

While the story is generally well-received, some readers have raised concerns about the pacing, describing it as slow. I can see where they're coming from; the initial chapters are more focused on world-building and character introduction, which might not appeal to everyone. Also, a few readers have mentioned that the translation quality could be improved.
