My Wangfei is a Man Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator

My Thoughts on My Wangfei is a Man

"My Wangfei is a Man" promised a lighthearted romp through ancient China with a comedic yaoi romance, and while it delivered on some fronts, it also stumbled in others. Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable, albeit flawed, read.

First Impressions

The premise definitely grabbed me. A childish protagonist, an arranged marriage, and a cold love interest? Sign me up! The initial chapters set the stage well, introducing the infatuated MC and the seemingly indifferent ML. I was eager to see how their relationship would unfold.

What Works Well

The humor is definitely a strong point. Several readers found the interactions between the MC and other characters to be hilarious, and I have to agree. The dynamic between the MC and the empress, in particular, provided some genuinely funny moments. I also appreciated the unique perspective of having the MC actively chase after the ML, a refreshing change from the usual dynamic in similar stories. There was also a lot of praise for the translation quality.

Areas of Concern

While the novel had its strengths, I couldn't ignore some recurring issues. A significant point of contention was the ML's coldness, with many readers feeling that it bordered on dislike. I, too, struggled to feel the affection from his side, making the romance feel somewhat one-sided at times. The MC's personality also proved divisive. While some found him endearing, others found him whiny and annoying. I also felt that the political intrigue, while present, wasn't fully developed and ultimately detracted from the core romance.

Final Verdict

"My Wangfei is a Man" is a mixed bag. It offers lighthearted humor and a unique dynamic between the leads, but it's weighed down by a somewhat unlikeable love interest, potential consent issues, and an underdeveloped plot. If you're looking for a quick, fluffy read and are willing to overlook some flaws, it might be worth checking out. However, be aware of the potential triggers and don't expect a deeply meaningful or nuanced story. I'd give it a tentative 3 out of 5 stars.
