The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Description

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

Right after getting the first-class chef’s certificate and before that certificate had been in her hands long enough to warm up, she woke up. Not only did she age ten years, she also gained two children…

At this time, her new daughter, who had lost two of her front baby teeth and spoke with a lisp, pointed at the TV screen and called out, “Dad!”

On the screen, the Film Emperor Meng Yan was extremely handsome and charming. Towards the camera, his gaze was overflowing with gentle and tender feelings. He raised up the hand that was holding hands with captivatingly beautiful bride. She was wearing a diamond-beaded wedding dress. At the bottom of the TV screen, the headline news was displayed in large font – Meng Yan and the rising starlet’s wedding of the century.

This instant mom isekai story with entertainment circle background was pretty interesting in the beginning but got bogged down with unnecessary details and repetitions of ever the same silly slapstick in the last third. I really had a hard time to finish it and only managed to do it by quickly scanning over the n-th iteration of their shenanigans. The story had much more potential but the interesting parts were rushed in the later chapters and the author went instead for endless descriptions of the cold appearance of some of... more>> the protagonists and similar nonsense. It was pretty funny in the beginning but rather annoying after so many repetitions. The first half was satisfactory though, so still three stars from me. <<less

cute characters but predictable plot. that's not neccesarily bad but it's just not great.

this is actually my second read bc I kinda dropped this a ehild back and forgot why I did it until I realize that it's kind of boring.

to be fair, slice of life is a boring genre. and it takes a good writer to be able to present their novel without killing your audience via boredom.

it is annoying reading the netizen. and that's always my issue with modern cnovel, the netizens are so annoying. and they even... more>> appear often in novels that don't even need them! they're just dare bc the author wants them there while also forgetting that they have to make sense to be there. I digress...

MC feels more like a caretaker rather than their mother their interactions are just superficial. she gives the. food, they share dialogue. that's it. but I guess it's better treatment to the og owner. and FL is just an instant mommy and was just dumped there. but other novels have done this but some execute the family bonding part better.

the MC is kind of an idiot. not in an endearing kind of way.

the daughter started out cute but kind of got on my nerves after awhile. the son was meh.

the ML is barely an ml. he's just there to eat.

look, I don't mind not getting much romance but this story has barely anything in it other than food. food that I can't eat, so I am not getting anything from this.

i truly got why I stopped reading.

dnf... for the second time. I really tried to finish it. I even skimmed a lot but I was so bored I couldn't take it anymore. I can't believe I wasted my time on this novel twice. <<less

It's a good light read, the premise of the story is interesting. It's ok to give it a try. However, there's no character development. Most of them, if not all, are static characters. There's not much romance, they only get together near the end. The conflicts do not give suspense, they're a little flat.

I've read a review that says MC's ex husband wasn't a scum male. I think that reviewer forgot that this ex husband doesn't give much time to his family. He has celebrated only a few birthdays of... more>> his family members since he's too busy to even remember them. It was mentioned that remembering his daughter's birthday can be considered to be a miracle. He also acquiesced to the public hating on MC for flaunting her wealth. Their belief was she got all of her money from her ex-husband. This ex-husband did not want to let the public know that it was him who married high and not the other way around. MC was born ultra-rich, and ex-husband benefited from that. However, he let the public be lead into thinking that MC was mooching off his money. <<less

I'll probably come back and rate this later because I hope it'll get better.

This is a nice read, but it slowly goes downhill and into the territory of bland. I liked the premise and the fluffiness/lack of revenge but I'm kinda losing interest.

  1. The FL transmigrates and completely changes, but no one questions it. Her family should be at least slightly suspicious that she can suddenly cook super well but I guess not. This is a reoccurring issue in many transmigration/rebirth novels but this one is one of the more obvious changes.
  2. The family, especially FL's mom, annoys me. Most comments laugh about Mrs. Lin and how awesome she is, but she's a terrible mother. She's immature and neglected her child. She's also very forceful with FL, which really does not scream good family dynamic. FL is okay with Mrs. Lin but she doesn't stop to think how her neglectful family probably affected the original FL. Instead, current FL just thinks that the original owner shouldn't have committed su*cide. Really sympathetic.
  3. ML and FL have no chemistry so far. ML is pretty fresh with the silly but trying to be domineering personality, but I don't think he's a good match for FL. She constantly rejects him and gets annoyed at him and his nephew. There was like one sentence so far stating that she became aware that ML was a man. That's literally it. Then it transitions to ML trying to chase FL and FL being forced into it by her mom or just agreeing. They seem more like friends than a couple. Honestly I would rather see ML's nephew with FL's daughter at this point.
I'm glad that current FL basically ignored her ex-husband and his new wife. However, she's been really irksome recently. She has this mindset that ML's nephew is some kind of demon and will destroy the Lin family. Obviously... more>> this isn't true because those people are humans and not plot devices. She can influence him just like how she influenced her kids. It just bothers me how she doesn't see him but what he will do in the future. This also happens in other novels but the issue is that he is a kid right now and has shown no tendencies to be really evil or whatever. He is still change. I feel bad for Lu Mingzhe cause he just wants to be an older brother.

Right now I would rate it a 3/5. I'll come back and see after reading a bit more. <<less

Expect a lot from this novel, wait so long that it ends up disappointing me. I gave it 4 stars because it cost me to find it and also I liked Lu Xun, who looks like a possessive CEO but ends up being an idiot (in a good way) and a complete fool when it comes to making someone fall in love, it was very funny, perl I would have liked if the author had worked more on the characters of Meng Yuran, Meng ShanShan, and Lu Mingzhen, I am... more>> disappointed that the 3 as protagonists and antagonists of the original book did not remain in something other than "brothers" in short... It was good to hang out... just don't have too many expectations of him <<less

The ex husband is scum. What's the problem with MC flaunting her riches and clinging into him?

Even she's hiding her rich identity to protect him but in the end she's dying of heartache and committing su*cide and died. So unfair for the original body FL!!!!!!

I hope he deserves a thousand thousand heartache!!!!!

P.s. This kind of story is nice, but the background story made me nauseous

Another irritating novel. In the begining it's good but at the end I was cheering for the FL to be single or with another men than ML He's a idiot. I know they have low EQ but the way they interact it's kind annoying.

If you don't want novelty go ahead. The first half of the novel is pretty good, you could skip the other and read the final that it's the same.

Maybe because I like the start of the novel I feel so annoyed.

MTL completed.

Slow romance, but fast pace plot.

It's a warmhearted story of a divorced woman with her 2 kids. Face slapping is not as severe as other novel with same storyline.

It was okay. I guess it just differed from my expectations. I was expecting a clever chef who builds her business after having negative press. Instead everything seems to be on easy mode for our MC because

she's already rich cos her mother is excessively excessively wealthy

Agree with the other reviews. It's so-so. If you're looking for a good romance, this isn't it. Ending was also rushed. Giving it a 3 only for the translators' hard work (thank you!)

The translation is very good, but each chapter from the original novel is divided into 2-4 translated chapters. Chapter 189 from the translation only comes to chapter 77 of the original.

In my opinion, the translation is what made the novel really good. The plot is very... meh. Everything was honestly handed to the MC on a silver platter because of her family background. When she was with her ex-husband, she just made her life full of suffering because she loved her ex. Without any feeling for him as a transmigrated... more>> character, then obviously her life would be smooth sailing. Nothing new here. <<less

I don't understand how no one realised that MC is another person or at least have some worries about her mental state, given that she tried to kill herself, woke up with 'amnesia' then suddenly knows how to cook and became a caring mom that very same day! I mean I know transmigration itself is not that believable but it really bugs me how everyone conveniently seems to take mc's drastic change in character and INSTANT magical cooking skills as a 'good change'. If my daughter/mom/employer who had never even... more>> touched a stove before starts making extremely delicious food and even opening a restaurant (all in the span of I guess a month or two) I'd be pretty worried/suspicious. And another thing is the writing feels shallow, as if the author is just writing herself into a fantasy of hers. Everyone is like 'wow so tasty!' 'So yummy!' 'Your mom is so great at cooking!' As if the author is forcing us to like the MC which in turn makes me dislike the MC even more. Anyway I gave it a chance but I will be dropping it now as it's not worth the time. <<less

Everything was going well. with the MC having ditched & faceslapped the scum ex & his woman. While starting a nice & natural friendship / relationship w/ ML but then mc's mom appears. She's forceful, annoying & just a pain. While I love reading about strong & successful FMCs, this mc's mom just acts like she's the center of the universe & everyone else, even the MC, needs to not only revolve around her & allow her to get her way or else..... now ML has even learned to use... more>> the mom to make MC go his way....... all the good genres are now being swallowed up by some cringy romance plot........ dropped <<less

I really liked this novel because the MC doesnt end up chasing the man who left her unlike a lot of others ive seen with a similar genre. Instead, the plot focuses mainly on her spending time with her children and her cooking. I do wish the MC x ML romance could be paced a lot faster because, even after almost 100 chapters, they've only really met twice and, at the very most, the ML is only mildly intrigued by MC while the MC doesnt even see the ML as... more>> an acquaintancce. <<less

The story is not bad as I thought. At first I thought there'll so many fight between FL and the new wife, but there's not.

Good for the FL as she move-on and continue with her life and doesn't take note what happen to her ex-husband. This is a good story I would say. The ML is a bit dense about romance, so it will seem funny to see how he gonna tackle the FL heart.

Cannot wait for the translation so I just read the mtl. The daughter is so cute,... more>> cannot believe she gonna married the dentist as she is a foodie and love to eat sweets when she's a child.

The story is not too stressful and it just a good story to pastime and just gonna mtl it as there's not so much chapter. Really recommend!!! <<less

It's a cute story, slice of life :)

The FL is great and thinks a lot about the kids. I read this because I thought there would be faceslaps to the ex husband and his wife, but the FL don't even give a sh*t about them hahaha she's all, must protect my kids! Which is exactly the title haha

The FL isn't overpowered or has cheats, she turned some of the OG's disadvantage to her advantage. The ML is alright, didn't really leave a strong impression on me. ... more>>
Spoiler

just laughing at the poor ML when he's jealous or wooing but the FL doesn't care haha

[collapse]

I wish there was a different story for the kids though like a sequel story XD but of course this is about the mother haha

Spoiler

I really thought the little girl would end up with Lu boy T.T but it's ok I like her ending too, at least they can still all remain a family, just the introduction of the boyfriend/husband in the last chapters were unexpected

[collapse]

As for what happened to the ex husband/villains

Spoiler

I didn't feel they were so bad, except they had goals that didn't coincide with their family life. Kinda realistic and aren't just there for drama, it's sad how the woman's career plummeted though... they could have hired a nanny instead or let grandparents take care of the kid... meanwhile the protagonist Zhang was barely noticeable the entire time. They are all just wallowing in a pit of envy. The worst they did was kidnap the kids, and they were hands off after that

translation’s great. It’s just that the chapters are divided into parts so for anyone who’s looking for a nearly complete novel, this is actually still at around chapter 20 so. But they do update frequently!

i love the MC. I’m not sure if it’s realistic but I like how she starts caring for the children almost immediately (unlike a certain novel) and she is more or less a responsible parent and thinks logically (unlike another novel).

the children are adorable too!

as for the ml, haven’t met him yet I think.

Focus of this story is not the relationship between MC and ML. Focus is placed more on slice of life living with two children. This story is nice as the MC doesn't actually get revenge on her ex-husband. I enjoyed that there was very little drama in that regard.

Honestly speaking, the personalities/characteristics of the MC and ML are a little bland and not interesting, I actually found that the MC's son and the ML's nephew were a lot more interesting/perceptive. Perhaps this was the effect of MTL, but MC and... more>> ML were kinda forgettable, and ML was honestly annoying with how low his LQ (Love Quotient) is. ML's EQ can't be too low since he's able to run such a company, but his LQ is unrealistically horrendous, it's not even cute in a dorky way, just cringe. <<less

This history is full of fluff and comedy. The romance is there, but it's more focused on the daily life of the two families and their hilarious interactions. There is not much to say about this. It's cute. It's funny. It's fluffy. It's a lovely read!
