Soft and Sweet Evil

My Thoughts on Soft and Sweet Evil

First Impressions

"Soft and Sweet Evil" initially threw me for a loop, and I can see why some readers get a Chinese novel vibe from the summary. There's a certain grandeur and scope hinted at, mixed with a modern-day reincarnation plot that definitely piqued my interest. The tags alone—action, adventure, drama, romance, yuri, fast learner, fat to fit, fearless protagonist, female protagonist, modern day, revenge—promise a wild ride. I dove in hoping for a unique blend of genres and tropes, and I wasn't entirely disappointed.

What Works Well

What immediately grabbed me was the protagonist. She's not just a one-dimensional revenge machine; there's a real depth to her, a complexity that makes her emotions relatable. The author does a fantastic job of portraying her multifaceted personality. I also appreciated the character development, while some might find it slow, I found it deliberate and rewarding. It allows you to truly understand the MC's motivations and growth as she navigates her new life. I also think the author is diligent and hardworking.

Areas of Concern

The only thing that worried me was the author's hiatus. I'm always a little hesitant to get too invested in an ongoing story when the updates are uncertain.

Final Verdict

Despite my concerns about the update schedule, I'm ultimately giving "Soft and Sweet Evil" a solid recommendation. It's a story with a lot of potential, driven by a compelling protagonist and a well-developed plot. If you're a fan of slow-burn character development, strong female leads, and a blend of genres, this might just be your next favorite read. Just be prepared for a potentially long wait between chapters!
