For the first time I really got into an English version of a book and I didn't regret it.

The cover alone, which is beautiful and the drawing style, totally enchanted me.


The story was also one of the typical love stories and not particularly new now, but I had a few hours of entertainment and didn't regret it. As far as I can tell, the writing style was fairly fluid to read and the characters likable. I do not want to say more about the content and prefer to refer to the blurb, otherwise I will reveal too much.

For me it was a very nice story that earned 4 stars for me.

President Daddy's Excessive Love Volume One is a book that needs just a pinch more editing.

I like graphic novels and diving into romance books, but this book was very difficult. For one, it's marketed as a graphic novel but it isn't. The editing and grammar seemed like it was translated from the original language but hadn't had an English editor take a look at it. The story also felt very long and drawn out when it didn't need to be.

Overall, this book has potential but I couldn't keep my attention on it.

One out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Independent Publishers Group for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

I requested this book because it was listed under the Comics and Graphic Novel section, but it is not either of the two.

This story seems to be translated from the original language and so for that reason, I was expecting a few errors. What I didn't expect, was how choppy the writing would be. While the story itself is interesting, once you get over the translation, I'm not sure I could continue with any of the other volumes.

The story itself is actually quite long and drawn out somewhat. It held my attention for what it was and I wasn't exactly disappointed with it. It was just a 'meh' for me. I also did find someone places where Tang Youyou would be described as "he" which was odd because Tang Youyou is the female main character. I let it go the first time because like I've said before --a lot already-- it is a translation. But it kept happening so it did take some points away for me and it took me out of the story each time because I had to reread multiples times to see if I was reading correctly.

that being said, of the story had been translated better, I probably would have rated higher and continued with the next "volumes"

This book was listed under the comics and graphic novel section so I was surprised when I saw it was a written novel. The story was pretty interesting and really easy to skim through because of the simplistic language. You could definitely tell this novel was translated because it had so many grammatical errors. The grammatical errors made reading a bit confusing at first but once you got over it, it was pretty easy to skim through the story because you were reading for the gist of the plot, not so much details. I don't think I'll be reading the rest of the volumes in this series though.

I thought this was a graphic novel because of the cover. Disappointed. Translated work with bad grammar.

First of all I want to say that the book is labeled as a graphic novel, comic, however the image you find is the one on the cover.
Omitting that, I can tell you that despite some grammatical errors (quite a few errors), the book reads fairly quickly once you get over the fact that you are going to come across misplaced words or mismatched connectors. I understand that it is a translation, but whoever did the translation work had to be careful when doing it. Taking that point aside and taking the one that interests us and that is the story, which tells us about Tang Youyou, a girl who was sexually abused, 5 years later returns to her hometown with 2 children born as a result of this rape . At first I was embarrassed that she was related to her rapist, but as we advanced we learned that both she and her abuser were deceived.
This is the first volume of several more volumes, which I hope to be able to read soon because I liked the story a lot, it reminded me of the way the dramas unfold and I love the dramas and this story has enough of these.

I would give it 3 stars out of 5 and I hope that for the following books the labeling that says it is a graphic novel will be changed because it is not and the grammar will be improved.

I was thrown by this book because it was under the "Comics & Graphic Novels" category when I requested it, but it is not, in fact, a comic, nor a graphic novel. This book is the first in a series and focuses on Tang Youyou, a young woman who was sexually assaulted when she was a teenager by a mystery man who left her disgraced and pregnant. In this first installment in the series, Tang Youyou returns home from five years abroad with her young twin children, only to discover who their biological father is. The children then take it upon themselves to try and get their mother and bio daddy to marry...and nothing is really resolved.

To be 100% honest, the writing for this book was absolutely terrible. That being said, it is an English translation of Bei Xiaoai's original work, so it may just be how the translator chose to transcribe this version. Not only was it rife with spelling and pronoun mistakes, but some of the colloquial sayings made no sense in English, although Chinese readers may have understood. It could be difficult to read at times, but despite the writing style and clerical errors, the storyline itself was incredibly interesting. It felt like I was reading a soap opera - so much drama, but I couldn't look away! I am at a crossroad because I want to find out how Tang Youyou and Ji Xiaohan's relationship progress, but I do not know if I can get through another 9 volumes fraught with grammatical mistakes.
