Li Wei's feedback
Engagement and Pacing
The first line about rich men needing wives totally hooked me! The story started strong with all the drama in the Bennet house. Though I'll be honest, things dragged a bit during Mr. Collins's visit - I found myself wanting to skip ahead. But it got really interesting again when Elizabeth started traveling and seeing new places. The whole story felt like watching someone slowly realize they've been wrong about everything they thought they knew.
Clarity and Understanding
Most of the story was easy to follow, though I sometimes had to reread parts about inheritance rules and family connections. Like, why the Bennets couldn't just give their house to their daughters took me a minute to understand. All the chance meetings between Elizabeth and Darcy (like bumping into him at his house!) seemed a bit convenient, but they worked because they helped move the story forward. The big deal everyone made about Lydia running away makes more sense when you remember how strict society was back then.
