Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug

Once upon a time, there was an author who swore she would never dig a pit without filling it. Later, she ended up burying herself in it… The principle is: Dig your own pit, even if you cry, you must fill it up! In the first world, a martial arts novel, the original male and female leads were a couple of [Righteous Disciple * Demonic Princess]. She transmigrated into a cannon fodder mute girl, grew up with the male lead, and had to go through fire and water for the mission. She accidentally became the male lead’s childhood sweetheart, and they shared a lifelong love… In the second world, an ancient historical novel, the original male and female leads were a couple of [Husband * Prince Consort]. The male lead was the husband, and the female lead was the prince consort—talk about a tragic love! Song Miaomiao transmigrated into the novel as a supporting character, a princess, chasing the male lead in various ways every day, turning the originally torturous story of [Husband * Prince Consort] into a sweet story of [Husband * Princess]… In the third world, in the entertainment industry, she finally transmigrated into the female lead, weighing 180 pounds. Her first task was to lose weight to 90 pounds. A few years later, on Weibo, actor Xu Yingshi posted a love-related Weibo. Some netizens commented: “I hope they break up.” Xu Yingshi replied: “I hope everyone doesn’t support him…” The original book’s female leads will each have their own new destinies, so don’t worry.

## My Thoughts on Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug Okay, so I just finished reading "Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug," and I have some thoughts. This novel is definitely a unique experience, and I can see why it's getting such mixed reactions. It's not a masterpiece, but it kept me entertained, even if I was scratching my head at times. ### First Impressions The premise is definitely intriguing: a female author transmigrates into the very worlds of her unfinished, frankly terrible, novels. She has to fix the plot holes and inconsistencies, guided by a system that may or may not be trying to scam her. Honestly, I was hooked from the start. The idea of cleaning up your own narrative messes? Genius! ### What Works Well I really appreciated the fresh take on the world-hopping genre. The meta aspect of the story, where the FL is actively aware of the plot's shortcomings and working to resolve them, was clever. It's like the author is winking at the reader, acknowledging the potential flaws and inviting us along for the ride. I also found the FL's growth throughout the arcs to be a strong point. It wasn't just about romance, but about her developing as a person and, ironically, as a writer. ### Areas of Concern However, I can't ignore some of the issues raised. The plot can feel rushed and disjointed, especially in the earlier arcs. Some readers might struggle with the pacing and the lack of in-depth character development, particularly with the male lead. Sometimes, the connections between characters felt weak. The system's mechanics and the FL's progress (or lack thereof) also felt a bit unclear at times. I wasn't always sure what the stakes were or what the FL was truly working towards. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers were confused by the ending of the first arc, particularly the perceived lack of closure and the FL's death. They questioned the "lifelong love" promised in the synopsis, feeling that the relationship hadn't been adequately developed. It's important to note that later arcs revisit and expand upon the events of the first, providing more context and connections. ### Final Verdict "Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug" is a flawed but ultimately enjoyable read. It's not going to win any awards for literary brilliance, but it offers a unique premise, a self-aware narrative, and a likable protagonist. If you're looking for a fast-paced, somewhat chaotic, and meta world-hopping story, this might be right up your alley. Just don't expect a perfectly polished masterpiece. Think of it more like a fun, slightly messy, but ultimately satisfying fast-food meal. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
