Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

After dying alone in a mental institution, Fang Junrong discovered that she was the evil mother-in-law in a prominent family doting novel. Her daughter-in-law was the female lead who was loved by all.

In the novel, the female lead was kind and nice, and the male lead loved her so much that he’d die for her in a heartbeat.

Her future father-in-law doted on her and treated her better than his own daughter.

Fang Junrong, the evil mother-in-law, was the only one who didn’t care for her. She had gotten the evil character’s script and wanted to set the female lead up every chance that she got and finally landed herself in the mental institution.

After she was rebirthed and facing her son who wanted her blessings, Fang Junrong tore up the script. Whoever wanted the role of the evil mother-in-law could have it! She was going to get a divorce and take half of the money, then she’d figure out where she wanted to go from there alongside her daughter!

Nothing new here. I couldn’t force myself to finish reading because the plot was tedious, the writing was awful, and the characters were thinner than paper. I love face slapping and revenge, but this one became boring quickly.

You can find better stories out there, and I urge you to do so.

This novel, what can I say? I think, if you look at it from the perspective of revenge and face-slapping, then it does a pretty good job. However, that's pretty much the entirety of the story thus far. DX I kept reading because I was waiting for something other than that. Be it in the romance aspect or something else. Normally, I would have liked this novel purely for the business management aspect and the magical space, fantasy aspect. However, those all turn out to be plot conveniences that makes... more>> everything super easy for the MC. Like, there's really nothing that can bring her down at this point, which begs the question... what's the rest of the story about? When I stopped, she had already divorced, earned a lot of money, and gotten revenge on the biggest players of her and daughter's horrible first life. As for the romance aspect I was waiting for, that ended up not being a focus either. So... ?? XD. Okay, that's that rant over with XD. Back to the rest of my review.

SUMMARY: This novel has a reborn MC, Fang Junrong. She's a lot older than most heroines, owing to the fact that she already has two children in their 20s (both of which are hers, btw. She gave birth to them. For some reason, I read mother-in-law as step-mother DX and thought they weren't hers at first LOLOL not that it changed much, I just didn't understand her son's situation.) After dying in his first life, she finds herself reborn 8 years into the past, back when her husband had first wanted to take in Jiang Yage (the heroine of the original novel). It should be said that the MC doesn't know that she was reborn into a novel immediately. It's not until she discovers the truth of her inherited bracelet (the magical space golden finger that Jiang Yage had stolen in her first life) that she discovers that her whole life had been based on a book, and that she was just a villain getting in the way of her son's and the original heroine's love story. Either way, however, she wanted revenge. Which starts with divorcing her scum of a husband, and breaking ties with her son so that she can stay as far away from Jiang Yage as possible.

OVERALL... I think, if I had known that this was a novel all about face-slapping and revenge, my opinion of it wouldn't be so bad. It's just as expected, if you go into a novel expecting something and getting something else, it of course dampens your impression a bit XD. That's what I think anyway. So, I won't be giving this a rating until I come back to reread it later. Based on my current impression, which isn't that good, I would have given it a 3/5 rating though. On the lower end too. <<less

The story is getting out of hand. This should have ended after setting down her grudges to the people involved after regression. Yet again, another one showed up who transmigrated. The story getting messier chapter by chapter after this.

There is a male lead. Granted you don't find out till the last sentence of the final extra that is about her. And only one sentence at that.

Still reading just wanted to put that out there. Second read through because guess didnt finish first time. Was a good consistent read

mindless face slapping. If you're here to read about some satisfying revenge and an overpowered MC who beats all of her scheming enemies without thinking about it too much, this is a story for you.

translation quality is quite okay and flows smoothly!

like one of the reviews already said, plot wise I would give it a 3 star (nothing too great, nothing bad either), but just for the overall mindless enjoyment and satisfaction I got reading this, I give it 5 stars. Though at the end, once the main revenge plot... more>> point is finished, I personally am not as interested but still. Super fun read for those who want revenge with low brain power to spare! <<less

It was a fun read overall. I think the MC was not really evil in the first place. She only did what she did because of what the disgusting father and son did to her. They are the real evils in this story.

If you like face slapping revenge stories then this is another good one for you.

If you are in it for the romance then this isn't really for you.

There is a few sweet romances in this novel, they are not the main focus by far, and are mainly the focal point in the few after stories.

If you are looking for fantasy or magic then this is also not for you, because while present it's pretty much just a side note.

Lastly, this is only my personal opinion, but ... more>>
Spoiler

I feel like the last part about what happens to Jiang YaGe and Li Shize 20 or so years in the future was unnecessary and honestly dampened the good mood I had after reading the rest of the after-stories. I get that they are both pieces of sh*t and deserved everything bad that happened to them, but I think that what happened in the main story already was pretty much the perfect ending for them. Especially that Jiang YaGe ended up mad was a pretty poetic ending for her, and the extra story about her kind of destroyed that.

Enjoyed this very much. There is mostly face slapping.

Thank you for the love pairings even though brief.

Spoiler

I called this pairing Fang JunRong x Jian Dexian as soon as his name appeared. I like this brat. Just his first appearance and I got a good feeling about him as I read further.

[collapse]

And unexpected characters, at least the second one.

Spoiler

Zhong Yi and Ren DongZhi pairing at the end which I did not expect by the end.

General: 8/10

A novel to remember and read for enough dog blood drama and face slapping. Full of satisfactory plot threads, OPness and nice flow.

Translation: 10/10

Plot:

+an unlucky cannon fodder villainess reborn (and she is not a young adult/teenager but a grown and mature person)

+mentally mature FL who knows how to cut the poisonous family members to avoid repeating the tragedy (it wasn't an easy decision, just a necessary one)

... more>>
Spoiler

my personal opinion - I never thought she should give her son a second chance. Not even at the end when I read how he ended up being treated by his only daughter - it was sad and I could feel for him, but that is a separate point from his relationship with his mother

[collapse]

+a bit of magic (just a super golden finger that she made full use of)

+good and developed ML who also got a secret

+her daughters' development and characters

+second ML and third ML had more to it that being in heat/simple-minded (they are real characters, not hormone-driven idiots; they might not even be called MLs but friends and business partners which felt extremely refreshing)

+face slapping and drama was satisfactory and predictable

+humor and story flow

+epilogues are satisfactory

+interpersonal relations between different characters

-wish there was more story on her adopted daughter

-if I have to say... It is not real life. There is a bit of OPness, harsh karma, a lot of good luck and halos involved. For me a good read nevertheless. <<less

Great translation.

The novel is not that deep. There are the usual revenge, faceslapping, white lotus b**** and OP FL. Romance is not its strong point but FL has her choice of handsome, smart, powerful men.

The characters and novel aren't too memorable... personally the best part was the sidestory at the end
Spoiler

with her adopted daughter's love interest

I am really enjoying this novel.

I found the characters interesting and the face slapping often and varied. I know some people found it a little monotonous, but each one is just so deserved and self inflicted. There are some obviously cliche characters and scenarios, but if you go in with the mindset of a world that was set up for a certain character and then having the side characters taking over, it makes more sense. The MC has little patience for nonsense and is just living her best life. Forget... more>> water armies and dealing with trolls. Just get the lawyers on it. She doesn't mess around or worry about what other people think about her. She has decided on the people she likes and wants in her life and is unshaken by games and politics. Her daughter is fabulous. Despite being a sheltered and slightly naive 17 y.o. She has the common sense of an actual rich young lady. She knows that you cant take people and things at face value. That people will try to get things from her mother through her. When she has bodyguards, she doesn't complain about her privacy or the endless complaints that you get in other stories right before the character gets kidnapped. The adopted daughter is grateful and steady. There is a funny countess later in the story. So far there has been no hint of a ML or romance for the MC.

If you want an easy read with quick, frequent face slapping and a small group of refreshing main characters, I think this would be a good read.

The "villains" are quite brainless, but again, this was a world where they originally didn't have to work hard to succeed, so now that they have to rely on their own skills, things obviously aren't going the way they thought. So that is something that you have to just go with the flow with. <<less

The reason I was kinda itching to write this review was coz I read someone comment saying it's written only in the evil mother-in-law aka the protagonist's pov. Idk why but that kinda threw me off, no offense meant😅. I like to think it's in third person pov, you ultimately get to see each person's thoughts at some point according to the people involved in the ongoing chapter. Although, I like it more when we see the story mainly from the pov of the MC and ML sometimes.

The novel kept... more>> me invested so far, but I don't actually care much for the overall plot. The gradual face slapping of all the characters who fell in love or were involved with a certain someone is probably the highlight of this novel. <<less

While I did find the plot to be a fun idea. The story however felt like meh toward the more I read.

One of the big pluses I can say about this story is that 78 chapters in and out MC still hasn't been accosted by some male lead or love interest. So for you who want a story where the main character doesn't end up with a male lead on the first chapter than I would recommend this.

However I also feel that the story gets a bit long winded. Also... more>> this story has what I call a very toxic idea of how women act or even feel. That just my idea of course so I won't tell you how you should view it.

In truth while I like the MC of this story I also felt that the story starts losing me when the story shifts more and more towards the antagonist pov. The unlikeable ones. I didnt start reading this story just so I can shift my pov from the MC to the bloody idiots of this story. I prefer viewing the idiots from the safe comfort of the MC pov.

Also I just hate the idea that they bring in the idea of magic and such but it doesn't even f*cking bring up questions like. Why do we have this here? Is it just to mcguffin the story and what not?

Honestly I like the idea of an older woman getting her justice done and getting back what is hers but I also find it drags on so f*cking much. <<less
