Comadrin's manga / #Strong FL(59)

I enjoyed it. The plot was interesting, although it left a big unanswered question at the end. The characters were good, and we didn't have to meet the cad ex-fiance.

I liked it. The story was good, the MCs were decent people with no hideously annoying character traits (a Harlequin staple, unfortunately), and the side characters, with one obvious exception, were kindly and good people. The mangaka did an excellent job making it an enjoyable reading experience.

I liked the FL quite a bit, but the premise of the story rather bothered me. She was basically crapped on by everyone in her life except her late mother (who was also crapped on while still alive). Her filth father basically stole her inheritance. Her s^*t brother obviously never tried to protect her and foisted his horndog misogynist bud on her. In my opinion, ML’s epiphany was a day late and a dollar short. The FL and her late mother definitely deserved way better than the s^*t-show of people in their lives. After all this, she can’t have a happy life unless she’s married to the misogynistic a**hole who ruined her business and was thrilled with the idea of seducing her for his own pleasure and satisfaction. Barf!!!

It was nice. ML started off kind of clueless but he learned well.

It was a good one. The characters were better than 2D and the plot was clever and well thought out. As an added bonus, it didn't have any major non-historical howlers, such as revolvers in Regency or early Victorian times.

Rather liked the FL and tried to like the ML, even though he had all the common sense of a cauliflower. Getting her to come with him by playing the grandpa card, knowing full well that his father was a total psychopath who would as soon kill his grandson as welcome him was as cheap and stupid a ploy as I’ve ever come across. The sister improved a lot over time, but the a**hole BIL needs to die in a ditch.

I liked the story a lot, and the FL and the ML's mother rocked. The ML, however, gave me a pain. He wasn't horrible, but he sure was a dweeb.

For the most part, the women in this story are way cooler than the males (although I really enjoyed the goofy rival). ML was a moron and a misogynist. “I went to bed with this model I’m really attracted to, but she had a bottle of perfume with her. That damned gold-digging whore. I smashed her perfume bottle and kicked her out of my life, the filthy slut. I hope she starves to death in pain and goes straight to hell. I’ll never forgive her for her wicked betrayal.” So how did this psychotic mofo escape from his keepers? With his demonstrated delusional personality, the only medicine strong enough to cure him would be Hydrogen Cyanide.

Wow! Get her pregnant; get pushy as be damned; snivel to her grandma to get her on your side. Then, when she finally cracks and marries you, basically ignore her and drive her away so you can feel butt-hurt. For God’s sake don’t try to make it work; then you can’t be the victim. FL deserved better than him (and better than her pushy, nosy grandmother).

Ignorant, narcissistic would-be rapist. The only thing I had against the FL was that she fell for this turd. "My father raped and abandoned my mother, so I'll go ahead and act like him." What a pig. And he even wussed out to her stepmother over the wedding. He should die in a ditch.
