Fortune's Folly

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

De: Ella Paul

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

She has everything—except the one man she cannot forget.

When Elizabeth Bennet inherits a fortune, it turns her world upside down.
She’s no longer just clever—she’s desirable. The same society that once dismissed her now welcomes her with open arms, eager to claim a piece of her newfound wealth. Navigating ballrooms and whispered intrigues is one thing.

Facing Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy again? Quite another.

Darcy regrets the pride that once cost him her regard. Now, as their paths cross in London’s glittering salons and quiet gardens, he must prove that his feelings are real—and that he values Elizabeth not for what she has, but for who she is.

As secrets unravel and reputations teeter, she discovers that fortune may change one’s circumstances, but character is the only true measure of worth.

A witty, romantic, and rich retelling of Pride and Prejudice, Fortune’s Folly invites readers into a world of hidden motives, fierce heroines, and love that defies every expectation.

Did not enjoy the AI voice.

I think the story was good. But maybe the voice took away from it too much for me to enjoy. The reading did not match certain emotions nor characters.

It was good.

In this story Elizabeth inherits an estate worth 5000 a year. She meet Mr Darcy again after Hunsford.

Excellent Variation, Wishing for Live Narration

This was a good story - true to canon, though this Darcy was easier than most. The machine narration was better than others I have heard, but it’s still flat. There is almost no differentiation between the characters, and the expression of emotions is barely there. I understand the economics of these mechanical narrations, but they are consistently disappointing.

VV Does not bother me, but inconsistent narrative does

I'm pretty even on VV, find the right speed and it is perfectly acceptable. What pulled me out of the story is the inconsistencies of the narrative. JAFF assumes om our mutual understanding of the underlying story and its significant plot points. When enjoying a fic, those plot points are the frame of the story where the new narrative diverges and explores something different. This story cannot seem to make up it's mind about what happened at Rosings. It violently removes me from enjoying the story. This is a DNF for me. I'm disappointed cause the premise and characterizations to this point are interesting. But my brain is in an uproar, so I have to walk away. I'm willing to give the author another chance on some other story.

Virtual Voice Narration.

I thought the story was interesting and fun. I have no complaints about the author’s work. But I won’t listen to a virtual voice narration again. It didn’t produce the range of emotion that I’m accustomed to when listening to human narrators. Furthermore, I do not support replacing humans with computers. Especially in the area of artistic endeavors.
