Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

After 1138 Chs;

The novel starts off really intense and fast and slows down after the revenge and other stuffs are done for the main couple. It slows down after that and the story gets bland, as if the author is out of ideas and honestly after the main couple got married and the other couple's story started, I felt like the author was injecting plot devices between the couples that weren't needed and could have been solved, it was if the author was just trying to create more chapters to reach the 2000 mark. It could have ended in just 1000 chapters. I started to loose my patience after the 1000 mark.

Now let's talk about the couples.

First, the main couple, XLS & NJ, the only complain here is that if you can handle a narcissistic man child with a poisonous tongue who is self obsessed and super shameless, read this. Sometimes it was funny, many times it was not. Not talking about how this novel talks about dark skin, body image, and genders. If you are sensitive about those, don't read this.

Second, NX & JY, ml is a puppy and fl is is his first love. Too many unnecessary plot devices here, like I said before. We don't see much of this couple tho, after the 3rd couple breaks up, they get screen time and get into a relationship.

Third, MLX & YS, I had high expectations for this one. So what basically happens between the third couple is, they go from enemies to lovers kinda route + younger man, older woman route. They fall in love so passionately, then break up due to secrets and misunderstandings that could have been talked about!!(Obviously a plot device to make more chapters) Then fl gives birth to their daughter secretly, and after years he realises the truth and they get back together duhh!

Fourth, XBH & AL, kudos to this couple towards whom I was highly expectant after getting tired of those three couples. Reading through the chapter names, I realised it was gonna be AL who liked the main ml. She is a mature career woman, so I was looking forward to this couple the most after the main couple but unfortunately I gave up even before I could reach them.

Honourable mention to JN & XS, I liked this couple and they deserved more screen time but the author...... :)
