My Thoughts on Women in Ancient Times Are So Scary
First Impressions
Okay, so I dove into "Women in Ancient Times Are So Scary" with a healthy dose of curiosity, especially given the intriguing title and the mix of genres like adventure, fantasy, and yuri harem. The premise of a modern person transported to ancient China always has potential, and I was hoping for a fun, engaging read. What I found was… well, a bit of a mixed bag.
What Works Well
The story definitely delivers on the "cute" factor. Meng Xiaoyu, our protagonist, is undeniably endearing. The novel excels at creating a lighthearted atmosphere, prioritizing a carefree journey over intricate plotlines. If you're looking for a novel that doesn't demand too much emotional investment and provides a steady stream of fluffy moments, this might be right up your alley. I also appreciated the martial arts elements woven into the story, particularly when Meng Xiaoyu finally starts to showcase her abilities during the Iron Gate Competition.
Areas of Concern
However, I couldn't shake off some nagging issues. The plot felt rather simplistic, and the world-building lacked depth. While the author clearly aimed for a lighthearted tone, the lack of complexity left me wanting more. The romantic development also felt rushed and somewhat unearned. The "love at first sight" trope is used heavily, with powerful women instantly falling for Meng Xiaoyu. While this caters to the harem aspect, it felt a little too convenient and lacked the slow-burn romance I usually prefer. I also felt there could have been more exploration of Meng Xiaoyu's emotional connection to her past life and her understanding of the Dugu Nine Swords technique.

Final Verdict
"Women in Ancient Times Are So Scary" is ultimately a decent choice for a casual read, especially if you're a fan of martial arts, yuri harems, and don't mind sacrificing intricate plotlines for lighthearted fun. However, be prepared for a simple story with rushed romance and underdeveloped world-building. It's a cute and carefree adventure, but it might leave you wanting more depth and complexity. I'd say it's a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
