Does the author even remember...?

I feel like the author completely forgot that the MC's "soul" came from our modern world and took over Feng Jui's body. It's been quite a while since there was even a hint of a reference to it.

And if that origin story was just a stepping stone, why use it at all? Why not just have the MC go through some kind of awakening while at the brink of death? Why did it HAVE to start as an isekai?

    I actually like it this way. I’m not too fond of stories where the isekaied MC always refers back to their original world, considering how they’re living a new life. Not everything in their original world will apply to the new world they’re living in.

    I get what you're saying. It just bothers me a little bit that the MC right now is completely acting like the person from this world. The "mom" she saved wasn't even her mom, but the original person's mom. Yet she refers to the woman as her mom, and gets emotional like they've had a bond lasting many years. Even though that was the first time they actually met.

    Sometimes, those types of situations bother me, too. When they feel a crazy attachment to the parents they never fully bonded with only because they want that parental love. However, in this situation, the original owner of the body never met the mom, either. (If I’m remembering correctly)

    I don’t know, honestly. I’m just reading cause I already got this far. However, it’s not as exciting as it was before. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    I think it's still good enough to keep reading. It's one of the better wuxia stories that I've read. Lets say...in the top 10 of the 25~30 or so I've given a try? But to call it actually "good"? I dunno...possibly to some, possibly not to others.

    To add, the story used to be about the MC carving out a path for herself, independent and strong, by being either kind or ruthless depending on which was needed. And by using her knowledge and experience of her past life to become a highly skilled doctor and cultivator.

    Now though... She's still a "strong woman" compared to many other women in other stories. But her reliance on the white haired guy is creeping in more and more, feeling more like a damsel needing saving as the chapters go on. And it feels like she's more swept up into whatever is happening around her now, rather than carving out her own path to walk.
