[Chinese BG novel] 谢当年不娶之恩[快穿] by 兰桂 / Thank you for not marrying me back then

Summary: Rong Xuan was a demon cultivator who was deceived and killed by the person she considered the closest, he also destroyed her entire clan and she witnessed the death of her relatives with her own eyes, she was caught by a system when she self-destructed. System helped her to cope with her hatred and offered a deal to travel worlds and help people who will give her a wisp of their soul so she can recuperate and return to her original world. Rong Xuan agreed. From world to world she traveled to save the wronged girls and slowly turn the tables around, she helped them deal with scum and slap their faces.

Note 1: I find it weird that this was in the "romance" category, usually such revenge plots belong to NoCP, because FMCs do not fall in love, but authors are afraid that less people will read these, so they change the tag. Rong Xuan is not romancing with anyone. So don't wait for it. She also has a good reason for that.
Note 2: Both Rong Xuan and her client, who also has RongXuan as their name (they have different last names) exist as two souls in the same body during the task, this is how Rong Xuan protects them and changes their fate in front of their eyes. This part is quite healing in a way. Many client have traumatic experiences, so they choose not to have relationships, only a handful of times they decided to have relationships after Rong Xuan leaves (this is also the reason why no one does it) but I think only once in ancient plane she got together with someone as them two, if I'm not wrong she might have still been there when a child was conceived.
Note 3: There is a big misleading misconception in the original summary to me, which claims that her "husband" who killed her is the "son of luck", which is untrue and also illogical with what author wrote in the end.

I'm going to spoiler the heck out of this novel, from the very beginning, because I felt so tedious when I finally finished it that I felt vengeful lol.

So let me collect myself and explain the whole idea in a bulk, because you get this information only at the very end when FMC returns to her own world and finds out the truth.
This is the full chain of action and consequences:
The Buddhist ancestor proclaimed that the person who will save the world appeared, but at this time he looked at a man named Gu Yunxiu ➡️ Gu Yunxiu belongs to a righteous sect and his parents were "murdered" by the demon cultivator in a secret realm, this is his reason for revenge and he also believed that he is the one who will save the world because the Buddhist monk looked at him ➡️ Gu Yunxiu practiced ruthless way, the one we know from many stories where a person kills off all his beloved ones and relatives to cut off emotions, shit like that ➡️ He made Rong Xuan (FMC) fall in love with him, but she belonged to demon cultivators and her father is believed to kill Yunxiu's parents ➡️ In the name of the righteous way he conspired with his master to defeat the demon cultivators and using the fact that Rong Xuan was not as strong as them and was tortured, which led to demon cultivator loss of morale their secrets being discovered and demon clan erradicated, this is the point where Rong Xuan blew herself up with hatred, but only hurt Gu Yunxiu and did not kill him, this is the moment when the "system" caught her and allowed her to go through reincarnations and return to her original world right when the battle was about to begin ➡️ Rong Xuan turned the tide around and thanks to the experience of her last lives and her understanding of the world she led her demon cultivators into new prosperity with her new understanding of right and wrong (basically it's nothing more but accepting that things should be fair, be it a demon or a monk, they should be treated equally, if they do evil or if they do good, but the "righteous way" always preached that all demons are bad and a lot of evil and dirt water was poured on them and they took the blame, this image is hard to change but not impossible, this is why Rong Xuan led her people to change the image first and then confront the righteous way) ➡️ Because of her understanding and influence the demon sect changed a lot and many received the same enlightment as other, but there was still a bunch of people who stuck to the old ways and Gu Yunxiu despite falling down from the altar insisted of going against Rong Xuan and demons, but the demon cultivators won and the truth was revealed during the battle, that Rong Xuan is the one who will save the world, the wisp of the ancestor's soul shared this past and he looked at Yunxiu only because he saw Rong Xuan through him, saw that she will be defeated, reincarnated, become better and return to save their world. but these secrets could not be told. And the reason behind Yunxiu's revenge is even more ridiculous, because his parents were the ones who ambushed Rong Xuan's mother in the secret realm and wounded her, but they were noticed by Rong Xiao, FMC's father, who retaliated against the couple, the only thing that left was the treasure Rong Xuan's mother got, which now became her natal weapon, but it was actually pretenting to be the "system". But the couple actually did not die, they were killed by their fellow disciple and were robbed. This disciple became the sect's master and also Yunxiu's master, so the killer was always close.
You can see the arcs as FMC's reincarnation, but those are reincarnations filled with pain and grief, so she goes through these worlds and helps og hosts (actually herself) and both grow slowly to reach enlightment and see a path towards a different life, this is why she slowly turns from revenge to another path.

But to be honest I think it's my own description that makes this novel sound cooler than it is, because there are several deep flaws in it and actually parts that I found quite funny and hypocritical.
There is no deep emphasis on her changes or growth, FMC basically has a few moments when system says in each world - Sister Xuan, have you noticed that you started to be interested in things not because they were needed by the task, but because it's your own interest. From that point indeed FMC started more or less a studious path and she felt more "enlightened", even second to last world which also had cultivation world we finally had a name for the person who made Rong Xuan into this and she also started to look at the situation differently, anylizing why he did what he did, because this world had also a person who learnt the ruthless path, but it wasn't connected to killing all relatives, it's just to devoid yourself of emotions, dedicate yourself to cultivation but not to mix right and wrong (like Gu Yunxiu did the killing in the name of ruthless path etc.).
Another part that I found funny how someone, maybe that Bugghist monk, said about Rong Xuan that she became open-minded. Maybe she indeed feels like that at the end of the book, but if you look at all her methods she used during those worlds, she is far from being open-minded. Sometimes I felt that author knows nothing but portraying each and every situation in a similar way, this is why by at least last 1/3 of the book I was BORED. Each world had this poor little girl (not all of them suffered because of being silly, there are indeed troublesome situations) who suffered the consequences either of betrayal or something similar would find herself in quagmire and Rong Xuan is the one who opens the path for them and draws another type of path and world in front of them, which allows the og host to find the confidence again and lead a new life. But the situations are so similar to each other in its' core that it became quite tedious, no matter how settings changed it felt like the same story over and over again. Sometimes it felt like author just goes on a crazy rampage. But because the scenarios were the same, the way of dealing with the situation became the same and it felt like the actions were justified, yet you still have the lingering feeling of cruelty, as if you want to ask - was there no other way to change it? Or do readers eat this up? Judging by the rank of this novel, which I find quite high (172nd) that they eat it up a lot, but there is just over a hundred people who rated, which compared to other novels feels like not much. Not saying anything that ranks were pushed and not muddying the water, it's just stating facts. 

My stance is still the same, I still find her ways quite cruel. The justification of all her actions is the cruelty that og client suffered and the portrayal, which is always the same. Author makes everyone the top of the scum pyramid, so you will feel that what Rong Xuan does is cool, but it makes the story repetitive and the feeling of coolness growing into something else. I tell you, if you read this durig publication it might be feeling better, but if you read it all together it suffers from its' style.

A note on the open-mindedness. This might not compare, but I always remember an arc from some novel (it's futile to remember which one) where the story goes as follows. There is a reorganized family, both parents have a daughter, but one is sensible FMC and the other is a rebellious one that always brings troubles to her family. Her life is like a rich novel (which is a novel actually) where she falls in love with two man, one is an academic god and another is a "bad boy" at school, both have good backgrounds and they love and hate during entire school years, but this brought a lot of distress to the family. This girl believed her family didn't care but never looked how every time the family accomodates her in everything. They don't insist on her studies, on anything, in the end she had a good relationship with a rich boyfriend, but her family was left behind because she had this deep-seated prejudice that her mother betrayed her dead father and new father never liked her. OG host asked FMC to let her change fate, she just wants to study well and support her family later, nothing fancy. And you know what FMC did? She distanced herself from this step-sister and never cared about her situation, because she knew if she got involved she would just get hurt for no reason and will have no place to cry. They existed as parallel lines and the girl with her love and hate all the time did not get good education, all those feelings were like a novel but what did it matter, it was her own life and she never grew up, FMC was the pride of her family instead, but she never used anything against her step-sister, this was open-minded. 
In many cases during reading this novel I saw that potentially Rong Xuan could leave the situation and the other party will self-destruct in the end. But Rong Xuan never leaves anyone alone. Maybe it's the right thing to someone. I don't mind when it's really the case, because some stick to Rong Xuan and it's like you go down or I, this mountain allows only one tiger to exist shit like that, but not all situations felt like that.

Another critique is that this novel has a lot of convenience in it, it glosses over a lot of stuff, you feel that many things would not follow this path, but it's convenient for the heroine, so who cares, right?
 
If you want to be super spoilered, here we go:
ARC 1: RX is a vase queen, she signed unfavorable contract allowing her agency to use her for cash grab, but she did it so her bf would have opportunities, the guy betrayed her with another small florette they called "little RongXuan". This is where RX learnt acting skills for the rest of her journey. She started counterattack at an acting show, then sowed seed of doubt about her bf and eventually the truth resurfaced, of course everyone chased after her ex and florette.
ARC 2: RX is an unloved daughter in a wealthy family, because she was kidnapped with her brother but her twin fell to his death and she was rescued, she was a couple with the boy who saved her. But after 10 years of relationships the guy fell with a Cinderella. But because of the family crisis he used ways to bind RX to himself yet he considered that he hated RX and she was stumbling block in front of his sweetheart. Later he used means to send her to a mental instituation. So OG hated fiance and her family too. RX turned the tide at the engagement party, became an independent woman who loved business (here RX learns business) and became close to her father (who wanted a boy to inherit), because of her move the fiance family fell into crisis, no love was enough to save them, even the "loving" couple fell into self-doubt. RX grew her power, used hostility of two brothers to go against each other and anger the He father (I say, convenience), so she took action after He father fell, she annexed her fiance's company too, others were afraid of her and she taught them - if you're good, you're still prosperous, if you're bad, I'll make you disappear, so some relatives like half-sisters were the first to wake up and be their own wealthy ladies. And her brothers were no match for her.
ARC 3: RX was taken away maliciously as a child, she has a twin sister. She grew up in a small place with her unkind mother, she wanted to become a doctor for her. When she became a student she became close to a lecturing doctor who later chased her. Happens she has a twin who is in really bad health and needs a kidney, her family showed kindness and basically talked her into becoming a donor, but her health very quickly deteriorated and she also knew that the promise of her "bf" is false, he always liked her twin-sister. (always baffles me why people like someone as a patient, they might not look the best and also may not be best people too, after all he performed operation himself and did a lot of bad things, but his sweetheart was like "yeah go for it", so it's goodbye to marality all around). RX refused the operation and disclosed the truth of their relationship to others, so it sparkled a contraversy that if a doctor can do something during operation isn't it scary? RX became an exchange student and started to study modern medicine. She also became famous for her treatment plan she proposed. Again I feel a bit annoyed how everyone has to climb the top of the world for some reason, but of course she studied "kidney disease" plan. Her family affairs were always a center of attention and no plan of destroying her reputation worked, she also diagnosed her sister and she couldn't help her (her demon cultivator self could, but it's beyond the scope of this world), many specialists agreed, so basically the family fell.
ARC 4: Here RX was deceived by an educated youth. he used her as means to return to the city, his family used her as a worker/nanny, she wasn't even officially a wife, so when she saw him with another woman she was trafficked. Og RX died while running away. She changed ways and basically framed this good man with his sweetheart who was also an educated youth in the same brigade. This is the first family I think where everyone truly loves og RX. If I'm not wrong RX decided to learn agriculture at first and make contribution to her place, then their place grew and became better, her dad became a head of this village and she inherited his position and climbed the ladder, she helped a lot of women to be educated in law, saved many women from unfortunate marriages. She also solved the place where she was trafficked in last life. Again, became a big person in the eyes of many women. But because of her manipulations with her ex's family their entire family either entered the game because of bribes or had similar fate.
ARC 5: General's daughter. Here RX is an orphaned daughter of several generations of loyal generals, but they fell in the battle. Her fiance is a disciple of her family and promised to take care of her, but he returned with new woman though their motto is to marry one wife and she did not want anyone else. Her reputation was tarnished by her fiance's family and she was also ruined in the end and accepted as a torn shoe. RX saw that this family had connections to the current royal family and all seemed like a big trap for her. She escaped all traps and started to expand her power. She started from contacting those who knew her family, started by hiring loyal people who trained and hired others, they became a small network who did things for her. On the surface she continued to be on good terms with others, exanded her good reputation, but her moves proved that emperor is not really afraid of her family, but also covers up after his princes and her fiance belongs to one of them. She also thought that the situation at the border and all exploits of her fiance feel like a fake and collusion with the enemy. She herself is targetted for her money by him, even the girl that was brought in is the same. To escape she offered herself as bride to grassland, since she was granted a title of the princess for her meritorious deeds. She moved to grassland while her people kept in touch and started to make moves in the country. She brought prosperity to grassland and many decided to follow her and she defeated others who were against her. Her "husband" fell down and she became the ruler sent by God. Because of the restless situation in the country she moved with her forces to overthrow the existing emperor. It had a lot of tricks here, so it was a fine arc, also a long one. In the end she came as a ruler herself and started a prosperous age, it also helped many women to come out of their oppression, so it was quite a time to be alive for others. Of course the family of her fiance fell down. Not to mention it was proven that the guy indeed colluded with enemy for more exploits and to return with "glory".
ARC 6: Here RX has unfortunate father that was sentenced, thus she became a bag for beating in her family, only studying helped, but the infamy followed quite a lot, so she became sensitive. She worked hard and studied to pay off her blood-sucking grandparents. But her classmate played a joke on her pretending to fall in love with her and laughed with his friends, later they started bullying her all the way before graduation, but she had no evidence. Now RX had evidence, next day she was hit in the eye and doctor claimed she's now blind, the situation escalated from bullying to harming others and she exposed them for their "prank", many participants did not find anything wrong in their actions, so the situation escalated slowly. RX refused to reconcile, moved her household registration from her family that wanted to take money on her behalf. Anyway this episode was covered on the hot search, although it was negative at first RX turned tides and it bit them back. RX basically made the situation into dog bites dog between several people from rich families. She herself continued to study and become better. Those who admitted their mistakes did better, those who did not of course ended up badly. The one who hurt her was sentenced, other were transferred and did not study well and also their families targetted each other. In the end RX studied law.
ARC 7: End of the world arc, which I skipped. It's basically a reborn person who wanted to grab other person's things and make RX poor in the end. Instead she made others more miserable and herself. I read like last few chapters, not inetersted.
ARC 8: PUA girlfriend. Her bf is a psychologist, she is an orphan and also was easy to control, then he met his ex and decided to reconcile when his situation got better so he dumped his gf without saying proper goodbye and they "should be adults and be decent". RX played a role here and brought this matter to public eye, she also got best treatment (more like og RX got treatment, while RX herself studied psychology, it's from this arc when system started to say she changed and started to get interested in things outside the task). OG RX got better, her diagnosis was published, her story was covered and people witessed the worst parts of her state and recovery too. She started doing small things with few adopted dogs. It developed into a small business. But actually in afterwords it was said she became a kindergarten teacher as she always dreamed while it felt a bit far-fetched.
ARC 9: This one was instantly crazy tbh. It tells a story of ambitious wife from a small village, who hooked up with a wealthy Hong Kong dude, to show she's a good mom she also took her daughter. But pleased her husband and stepson, disregarding that her daughter was bullied by stepson. When OG RX grew up she was raped by this stepson, but her mother did not intervene when she heard her screams, she lived in DV for ten years as a beating bag for any inconvenience her fake bf felt, eventually she was beaten to death. Her mother many times tried to talk her out of filing a complaint, especially when she had a chance when her leg was broken, her mother broke her promise and she became numb. This is the arc where I think events are a bit crazier for some reason. The chain reaction was as follows, instead of herself she shoved her mother who was raped by her stepson, she also added a medicine for pregnancy. Because of family business her mother did not file complaint but also became pregnant, so she will give birth to uncles and nieces. And she couldn't abort, otherwise she will die. Because of RX's "instigation" the not so smart village wife who knows not much about scheming and means thought she was over at first, then she tried to please her husband, but that one was disgusted with her and then she tried to redirect her step-son on her daughter (this is why she brought her in the first place anyway), but her daughter chose a star life and was under protection of a big boss (nothing bad, just an aged gangster who found RX intriguing as an elder), so she was untouchable. Instead he got into trouble. Again under "devil's whisper" mom decided that all her kids will be heirs, what is she afraid, she will be on top, so she cut off the step-son's manhood (I think it should be impossible to cut off? I think it was joust a fatal wound to reproduction..what do I know) and she escaped.. so far. But it did not bring any long lasting comfort, she started thinking how to get rid of others. Because everyone treated her just as a reproduction system. She instigated stepson to go against his father (after all he had issues). Then father fell into coma and he came to power, but company fell into jeopardy. Then she changed stepson's meds. Used stepson to chase the elder of the family abroad. Doing all that they were still caught, he found out that it was her who harmed him and she was caught for other things and also harming him. In the end no one got a good ending. And all of it also was published in press. Also forgto to mention, when many things didn't work and stepson wanted to use her ex-husband as a threat to RX (after all she looked for him), she also wanted to reunite with him, after all RX became a star and earned money so she dreamed of becomin an aganet. But as a reader her means are so low-level and her dreams are too big for her brain. RX reunited with her biological father and grandma and they were fine.
ARC 10: The concubine who was a shield. I got tired of looking at another ancient plane. By what I read in last chapters the situation was as follows. RX was a beloved concubine, but was a shield for her little maid, who used her position to legitimately become a concubine, but she fell in love with emperor long ago. She was also RX's half-sister, born to her mother and father of RX. RX's mother died in childbirth, but her father never re-married. He also pushed RX into the fire pit. When she was accused and sent away her little maid told her everything. Anyway RX relied on her grandfather to lead a way and overthrow the emperor in the end, because it was proven he killed his own children who were half on their way to be born just becase his sweetheart told him. She became Crown Princess, the only arc where RX is pregnant btw and also OG RX has a partner who is from emperor's family. Then she helped many women with their dire situations in the backhouse and her fame spread. She was fair to men and women. her daughter became a ruler eventually, they change dthis world a lot when it came to women and helped all the ex-concubines too to find their footing.
ARC 11: Only interstellar. And also swapping babies story. OG RX had good aptitude, but her mother concealed it, she also used backdoor to get her into college, during mission she was plotted against by her bf and her friend who is the biological daughter of her mother. She was sent to garbage star due to unfavorable footage during the mission. She started her life on garbage star, magically used ore to change the mecha (like the technology of it is of course too convenient) which attracted military where a great general served, who was also a target of the girl she was swapped with. She also used everything like cultivation, don't ask, which allowed her to return her prior physique (this society is divided into classes and f-physique is sent to garbage star no matter what lol). RX had many plans for this place and improved life of people here eventually, her improved idea for mecha and evollution pill attracted attention so she used it to bring attention to her situation and her case was re-trialed. Her biological parents also knew the situation and wanted to reunite. They did not leave the swapped child because they knew what insidious things she did. So her ex who cheated her, this swapped girl and her adoptive mother all ended up badly. She was a great person and reunited with her family and also joined army eventually and became a great figure, then she became couple with that general after RX left.
ARC 12: Another skipped arc. It has metaphysics, but the story is of an ex who cheated RX into a secret marriage with a ghost, her vitality was consumed in a month and she died, also her grandma she cared about died unfairly too. So everyone by the end of it all treated her as a person sent by fate the rectify the metaphysics world, because the one who originally used the spell on the proposal ring sent to RX is a "righteous master", very famous. But nothing exciting to me and nothing new. So bad guys did a lot of gruesome stuff and were caught and brought to justice, bringing a new era of metaphysics.
ARC 13: Have you noticed? Despite my descriptions of it all I started to get tired completely of this story. Next arc is titles Internted writer whose life was stolen by a scumbag. By the things I read in consequent arcs it seems that here someone had a golden finger and could steal her work and she countered that. I had no desire to find out.
ARC 14: This one is a return to 70's. Here an unloved daughter who failed to get into college because she slipped and broke her leg had became a target of a returned soldier who became a police deputy director. he met her in secrecy so no one knew they met, so when she took care of his children (the dude is divorced and 10 years older) the kids were instigated by their mother who returned to sabotage RX. She was also talked about when with his sophistry the man said that he felt sad about her situation but the relationship is her delusion etc. She was also killed but framed as suicide. RX basically reported this guy because she felt it was fishy how he was promoted so fast, also made everyone witnessed that they were partners, then everyone saw this scumbag behavior, then he was investigated, then he was caught with his ex-wife when they attempted to murder RX, so both met their end. Entire village knew about his deeds and also RX's original family was not spared because everyone saw how they wanted to force the girl into marriage and be stepmother at 17 and then distanced themselves and also kicked RX. RX travelled to other places with her mother when she got into university.
ARC 15: Braindead story about the "son of luck" who used his childhoos fiance as a shield. He was basically a dude who knew nothing, grew up under the roof of his neighbors because both families were friends but almost everyone died in a car accident, so only one father and two kids were left. The dude grew up rebellios and one day disappeared, then he appeared all rich and famous, but used his childhood girl as a shield for other women to hate, so she was retalliated a lot. Senseless stallion novel. RX used means to basically drain his luck, because the guy knew nothing about business, he only had "intuition". But she used the state as her backer, I think it's in this arc she used interstellar knowledge to become a big shot and disappeared completely with her father. The guy was furious because he was also very inferior in his bones, other women kneeled in front of him but RX never would do it. In the end his ill gains were discovered, he went in. he also retaliated aganst all women who left him.
What is illogical to me is that this dude is said to be only 18 and disappeared like at 15, who will trust a teenager? He is said to be a genius, everyne flocks towards him, it really has such a bad and tacky taste lol He may be good at investing but the whole story just felt meh. Like have you nothing to write about?
ARC 16: Are you tired reading? I'm tired typing. I think I've spent already three hours on typing this. Let's continue. In this arc OG RX supported her childhood friend to stardom, he had no idea that her family is rich, they just covered it up a lot, but she used to be a station sister and also used her skills and money to promote him, then he became famous and confessed he used her, it irritated her and she decided to expose him but had no bigger evidence and his fans attacked her for her looks. Then she was killed by one of his fans. because of the path RX chose for OG RX in this world they inevitably clashed with her ex. First she found and sued the fan who pushed her into water. Then she changed targets and became an agent, she chose talented but either not popular or mistreated artists, slowly her artists gained popularity and it became public that she was behind the scenes and no matter how her ex tried to "smartly" stir trouble RX had lifetimes of experience in worlds and not to mentione entertainment industry. Se his popularity declined with her accurate attacks of his lack of talent etc. not to mention misconduct. She became free and easy big boss who dated and broke up if she felt like it.
ARC 17: Second to last arc. This is cultivation one that connect to last arc too. Here RX was a substitute for the junior sister, she was tricked into joining the sect and they trained her to become similar to the dead junior sister. So her aptitude was empty and she was like a canary in the sect, but then someone told her and her struggle was futile, she was threatened with her mortal parents. Then the junior sister returned and they even used RX for marrow etc. Now RX escaped from the very beginning, took her parents into secret realm where the "junior sister" was. She changed herself and changed the fate of her mother and father, three became cultivators. They spent a lot of time in this place getting a lot of loot. When they came out the travelled and brought the junior sister with them. They witnessed several injustices and plotting. So they witnessed a lot of "righteous" path people doing evil. They also helped those in need and let them join, so those were mosnters, cultivators and others. They always left a flower on the scene. The junior sister made a bet with RX that if it's a misunderstanding then it's fine, but if she's right then we'll see then. She had the chance to find out when she pretended to be RX, but was treated badly and saw the true face of her senior brothers and master. Righteous way was afraid of growing power of RX's sect, but again and again RX proved that "righteous way" has some insidious means, while her sect subverted everyone's opinion about them by helping and doing the right thing. Junior sister decided not to join any sect, everyone already thought she was dead and she practiced the ruthless way, this is where RX found out that ruthless way is different and she also thought about her "husband" who killed her. She also thought about her situation differently and had no more such overpowering hatred. Here she also found out that her system is a treasure from her realm (but it also became a secret place in this arc) and it became her natal weapon. So in this world RX grew her sect that welcomed everyone and showed what does it mean to be not only righteous but just fair. Then she returned to her own world.
And then it's the last arc which I already explained in the very beginning. So Rong Xuan is the biggest chosen one who went through all of this.
This is why I say the "son of luck" in the original summary should not work. When it comes to the way of Heaven it's like a chosen one, but how can he be the son of luck when she's the chosen one.

Again, this is why it felt tedious, the arcs were relatively short but there were times when info dump was spread to 2-3 chapters to cover the last life. Then many family situations are the same, they are bad, to make it feel okay no matter what shit RX is doing. Almost everyone goes through public shaming in all arcs. It also feels unreal, not everyone will remember for decades the passing events, especially in great details, just look at the modern days and you'll see this effect too. I don't say the don't deserve this, but I find it ironic, when she is called open-minded when she does some crazy shit. For example the arc where she pushed he rmother under the stepson, I can see why she did it, because OG RX was raped and beaten and her mother talked her into reconciling again and again before it was too late, while her mother also lived prosperous life, I can understand she wanted to let OG RX see the mother she hates so much go through the same. But the kid? My attention was brought to the kid. I think it was too much to make her pregnant. Imagine the life of this kid, what did it do to RX? She could easily not do it.

The final arc was not enough for me to forget all that crazy stuff that happened.
The healing part that should be interesting may be attractive to others, it's indeed one decent thing about it. But honestly speaking the part where stories felt similar was overpowering. We just concentrate on dealing with the current situation, a lot of it is all coincidental and convenient, everything moves according to calculations of RX because girl knows psychology and is good at tactics. A lot of stuff is also not new let's admit it and author did not bring a lot of new stuff to the table.
Why do I feel like I keep nagging, but I actually do.
Others might find it great, but I still feel like it rubbed me the wrong way, but I refuse to dig deeper.

RATE: 3/5. Just take it, it's the best I can score. If there are typos please let it pass in front of your eyes like a speck of dust, unnoticed.
