My Thoughts on Strike Back, Proud Goddess!
I dove into "Strike Back, Proud Goddess!" with a mix of excitement and trepidation, given the mixed buzz surrounding it. It's a rebirth story with a strong female lead, a trope I usually enjoy, but I quickly discovered that this novel has some serious highs and lows.
First Impressions
The initial chapters hooked me with the classic switched-at-birth drama and the promise of a powerful female lead reclaiming her life. The premise is definitely intriguing, and the early focus on the MC rebuilding her strength in all aspects of her life had me eager to see where the story would go.
What Works Well
The family dynamics, particularly the doting older brothers, were a definite highlight for me. The author did a great job of creating a loving and supportive environment around the MC, which provided a nice contrast to the trashy biological family. I especially enjoyed the character of Xiao Jing, whose humor and caring nature made him a standout. The male lead is also well done and the depth of his emotion is felt throughout the story.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the novel stumbles in several key areas. The ending feels rushed, leaving many plot threads dangling and side character arcs unresolved. I also found the MC's characterization to be inconsistent at times. While she's portrayed as intelligent and capable, she often makes questionable decisions that undermine her supposed maturity.
However, the biggest issue, and one that I cannot ignore, is the presence of blatant racism within the story. Several reviewers have pointed out deeply problematic and offensive comments made by the MC and other characters, and I can confirm that these moments significantly detract from the reading experience. It's a serious flaw that overshadows many of the novel's positive aspects.

Final Verdict
"Strike Back, Proud Goddess!" is a mixed bag. While it offers moments of enjoyable family dynamics and a satisfying power fantasy, it's ultimately weighed down by its problematic elements and rushed ending. If you're able to overlook the flaws and enjoy a fast-paced, somewhat shallow read, you might find some entertainment here. However, I can't wholeheartedly recommend it due to the serious issues mentioned above.
