There are only 10 chapters out on tappytoon atm, so there's always the possibility that it could go downhill, but so far it already looks interesting, I'm loving the reversal of the usual dynamic between the ML and the FL. It really feels like this was custom-made for me, it's hitting all the right notes, and while their personalities are different, it feels like it'll fill that void left by Until the Tragic Male Lead Walks Again now that that's completed.
It's from the ML's pov, and for once he's not some taciturn "tyrant" or cold duke who's naturally good at everything except communicating his feelings. He's emotionally expressive, flawed, and weak (and lowkey kind of a loser which is one of my favorite qualities in a ML lmao), and he has brown hair instead of the typical black/blonde/white/silver and green eyes, so he gets bonus points for not only not having a boring overused personality, but also not having the same copypaste rofan ML aesthetic!
Meanwhile, the FL is the strong, OP af but exceptionally low EQ party here. It's not clear from the start exactly what her motives are, but that in itself is a plus, I'm liking how we're gradually learning more about her along with the ML. She doesn't seem to have a lot of common sense when it comes to social situations or boundaries, so while the ML is wary of her, she's clearly going to end up bulldozing all the walls he puts up without even trying to, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing it, I love their dynamic already 😂
I also adore the rare FLs who are genuinely much stronger than the ML, I'm so tired of the usual "she's strong but he's stronger" dynamic whenever we get a strong FL.
