🫤 Nothing interesting so far. Overpowered, ‘flawless’ ML. Supposedly independent (and overconfident) FL always ultimately saved by ML. Struggled to connect to story/characters.
Think I’m going to DNF.
——— THEMES/TROPES ———
-
Cliché mean girl villains
-
FL outcasted/ looked down upon.
-
A string of unfortunate events to FL’s family
-
Reincarnated as antagonist
-
Characters act quite immature
-
FL always talks circles around villains trope
-
“Can I really escape the plot?”
-
Protagonists have NO life/goal outside romance
-
FL always ultimately saved by ML
-
Poorly developed, cliche ML.
—> Always either confident or protective.
—> No flaws. Always with words of affirmation
—> Considered ruthless but is actually caring
—> Successful, violent to protect FL, good fighter
Needed more time/scenes to build up why the FL disliked the ML to the extent that she did. Because without it, it just seems like she hates him for little reason while actively insulting someone who considers her his best friend.
