My Funny Consort

My Thoughts on My Funny Consort

Alright, let's dive into "My Funny Consort." I picked this one up with a bit of excitement, lured in by the promise of a lighthearted transmigration story with a modern twist. The premise – a genius doctor landing in ancient China, married to a crippled prince – definitely had potential.

First Impressions

Initially, I was ready for a fun romp through palace politics with a strong female lead. The core concept is familiar, tapping into well-worn transmigration tropes, but I'm always game for a fresh take. I was hoping for witty banter and clever solutions to ancient problems using modern medical knowledge.

What Works Well

The humor, when it hits, is genuinely enjoyable. The MC's modern sensibilities clashing with the rigid customs of the court can lead to some hilarious situations and sarcastic comebacks. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on strong female characters. From what I've read, the women in this story are powerhouses, often outshining their male counterparts in terms of strategic thinking and overall impact. The story seems to have multiple main couples, which can add depth and variety to the romance aspect, and it sounds like there are plenty of side pairings to keep things interesting.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, there are some significant hurdles to overcome. The quality of the translation is a major issue. From what I’ve seen, the early chapters suffer from clunky phrasing and awkward sentence structures. It seems like a very literal, almost machine-translated rendition, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. While later chapters show some improvement, the lack of consistent editing and proofreading is a persistent problem that detracts from the reading experience. It's truly a shame because a poor translation can bury what might otherwise be an enjoyable story.

Final Verdict

"My Funny Consort" has a charming premise and some genuinely funny moments, particularly due to the clash of modern and ancient sensibilities. The strong female characters are a definite plus. However, the inconsistent and sometimes poor quality of the translation makes it difficult to fully recommend at this time. If you're willing to overlook these issues, there's a potentially enjoyable story here. Otherwise, you might want to wait and see if the translation improves before diving in.
