## My Thoughts on To Raise a Future General "To Raise a Future General" promised a blend of historical setting, romance, and a touch of reincarnation fun. With tags like "doting love interest" and "poor to rich," I dove in hoping for a heartwarming story. While there were elements I enjoyed, I ultimately found myself struggling with certain aspects of the novel. ### First Impressions The initial chapters were promising. I was intrigued by the female lead's (FMC) reincarnation into a poverty-stricken family and her mission to, essentially, "raise" a future general. The farming aspect was a nice touch, offering a glimpse into rural life. However, as I progressed, some cracks began to show. ### What Works Well The male lead (ML) is undeniably a strong point. His character is well-developed, and I found myself invested in his journey. He's observant, intelligent, and his actions are often driven by a deep, albeit complicated, love for the FMC and her family. The story also sets up some interesting dynamics with the FMC's brother and father, who display a genuine kindness that contrasts with the FMC's behavior. ### Areas of Concern Unfortunately, my biggest issue lies with the FMC. I found her to be frustratingly narrow-minded and, at times, downright annoying. Her inability to see the ML as anything other than a character in a book, even after he consistently shows her kindness, really grated on me. She seems fixated on preventing his "evil general" destiny, even when his actions are meant to protect her and her family. I struggled to connect with her and found her rash decisions and naivete to be detrimental to the plot. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several readers mentioned that the FMC's prejudice against the ML stems from a specific incident where he takes revenge on some villagers. This event solidifies her belief that he is destined to become a villain, despite his previous acts of kindness. This perceived "betrayal" seems to be a major turning point for many readers, leading them to drop the novel. ### Final Verdict "To Raise a Future General" has an interesting premise and a compelling male lead, but the problematic female lead significantly detracts from the overall enjoyment. While the story has potential, I ultimately found myself too frustrated with the FMC's character to continue. If you can overlook her flaws, you might find something to enjoy, but proceed with caution.
