The Supporting Female Character Is Not Behaving Again Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
## My Thoughts on The Supporting Female Character Is Not Behaving Again
I dove into "The Supporting Female Character Is Not Behaving Again" with high hopes, and while it didn't completely blow me away, it definitely offered some enjoyable moments. The premise of a cultivator traversing different worlds to fulfill wishes is always appealing, and this novel certainly has its own unique spin.
### First Impressions
Right off the bat, I appreciated the no-nonsense attitude of the protagonist, Meng Changjin. She's strong, smart, and doesn't shy away from solving problems with a bit of...physical persuasion when necessary. The initial arcs grabbed my attention, particularly the first one where she's a rural 1990s daughter-in-law seeking a divorce. It was a solid start that showcased her resourcefulness and willingness to adapt.
### What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of this novel is Meng Changjin herself. She's not a robot, which is a trap that some authors fall into when writing "cold" protagonists. I found her relatively normal and relatable, even with her cultivation background. The variety of arcs kept things interesting, from ancient farm life to an apocalyptic world with a yandere male lead. I also liked that she isn't obsessed with living, unlike some other protagonists. The fish system, Xiao Si, also added a touch of humor, which was a welcome addition.
### Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed many aspects, I do have some reservations. At times, the writing felt a bit sloppy, and some arcs ended in a way that felt anti-climactic. Even though the protagonist isn't omnipotent, her struggles in the early stages of each world could be frustrating. The ending also felt rushed.
### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning
Some of the arcs have interesting premises, like the Apocalypse arc where the original client is the male lead's "white moonlight." The client's wish is to escape her fate as cannon fodder and, if possible, kill the male lead and his harem members. Meng Changjin teaches cultivation to the original client's sister. Another arc involves Meng Changjin engaging in more cultivation, using talismans to give the client's family hallucinations of ghosts/evil spirits to drive them from their home. In one arc, Meng Changjin studies hard and surpasses the scummy guy who dated the original client, even taking part in research for a cancer-curing drug.
### Final Verdict
Overall, "The Supporting Female Character Is Not Behaving Again" is a decent read with a strong female lead and interesting world-hopping scenarios. While the writing can be a bit uneven and some arcs are more compelling than others, the unique premise and Meng Changjin's character make it worth checking out if you're a fan of QT novels with no romance. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
