## My Thoughts on Being Expelled From the Wealthy Family in the Beginning "Being Expelled From the Wealthy Family in the Beginning" is definitely a web novel experience. It's a blend of genres, promising a mix of comedy, drama, fantasy, school life, and slice-of-life elements, and for the most part, it delivers on that promise. ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: a genius protagonist from ancient times navigating the modern world after being expelled from a wealthy family. The early chapters had a certain charm, especially the interactions between the MC and her grandfather, and her friend Jiang He. I found the "face-slapping" aspect intriguing, and the focus on academics was a refreshing change of pace. ### What Works Well The core strength of this novel lies in its "face-slapping" moments. The MC, often underestimated, consistently proves her brilliance and dismantles the arrogance of those who look down on her. I also appreciated the slow-burn romance and the unspoken understanding between the MC and the male lead. The author develops the supporting characters and the family dynamics and friendships are engaging. This novel is easy to read and can be very enjoyable if one abandons logic and just enjoys the ride. ### Areas of Concern However, the novel isn't without its flaws. The sheer amount of "face-slapping" can become repetitive and boring after a while. The antagonists often feel cartoonish and one-dimensional, rehashing the same tired tropes. I also noticed that the plot can meander, hinting at potentially interesting storylines that ultimately go nowhere, leaving many questions unanswered. The MC's reliance on the ML for resources, while sometimes cute, can feel a bit unbalanced. I also found the ending abrupt and unsatisfying. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have pointed out plot holes and inconsistencies, such as the unexplained circumstances surrounding the death of the MC's mentor and the ML's subsequent coma. Others have questioned the lack of development for certain characters, like the MC's mother. ### Final Verdict Overall, "Being Expelled From the Wealthy Family in the Beginning" is a decent read if you're looking for a light and entertaining novel with a strong, OP protagonist. Just be prepared for repetitive tropes, plot holes, and an unsatisfying ending. I'd recommend it for casual reading, but don't expect a deeply intellectual or intricately plotted story.
