MC's strongest point is that she's dumb. Her current glories are nothing. She used to be super handsome, super strong, super dumb and super loved. But now? She's super dumb. She is just above average when it comes to beauty. For strength, she's just so-so. She's not smart. Throughout the book, she goes, "Hmph! I used to do so and so." Basically, reveling on past glory. For ML, he's supposed to be cute and he's cute—kinda. At least, he's strong, rich, and misunderstood, compared to MC who's living in past glory. But he's a person with no thoughts of his own. He also doesn't act on his instincts like MC. He doesn't think, doesn't act, doesn't express, just follows whatever others say. And apart from the High Priest and a few others, everyone is annoying as f*ck, telling MC and ML to do this and that. Just reading them makes your blood boil. Nothing Goes MC and ML's Way
I personally found the novel extremely difficult to read. The starting was great, but the more you read, the more the MC falls in a situation where she's just going through the motions because of other characters. Apart from her asking the ML out in the heat of the moment, everything else she does is driven by other characters' will. In her past life, despite being a holy knight, she was much more free than now. I understand that she's now a noble lady so her freedom is limited, but the thing is, reading her actions feel suffocating. She always has to do things against her wishes. She doesn't want to learn the dance but she is forced to give up sleep to learn how to dance. Even then her first dance doesn't happen with the ML but another guy I personally find annoying. The dance also happens because she's literally forced by someone else. She never has a say about her dresses and other stuff since Day 1. She can't even eat her favorite foods usually. Someone is always there to nag her about food. She goes to parties but she's forced to not eat anything. Even if she eats, it's regulated by her butler. She can't even interact with other people the way she likes. Even if she is extremely sleepy, someone will force her to take bath before sleep. She doesn't like makeup, she literally hates its smell, but she's compelled to wear it. She is forbidden to do this and that, every single chapter. At one point, it gets irritating and suffocating. She can't be like "I'm done with this lifestyle. I quit!" because there are people threatening her with ML and her maid's life to do things. Although it's subtle, but it's true nonetheless. She just don't have the leverage over others. She and the ML are always the ones in the disadvantageous situation. Despite both being rich and strong, they simply don't have bargaining chips. Their subordinates, heck even maids, can make them do things they want and MC and ML are in no position to say no. How annoying is that? After all, most of you guys are here to read about a strong female lead and cute male lead. But how can a character be strong if they can't even take the simplest decisions about life? In fact, ML is also like that. When MC suggests they sleep together—yeah, just sleep—ML goes "No! Apparently we can't do that!" It's like this for everything. Every time MC suggests that they do something together, ML doesn't initially do that because someone had prohibited him from doing that. And then MC goes "Don't listen to others" and coaxes him and then he reluctantly goes along with her. At least at first their interactions were natural because people didn't forbid them from doing this or that, but the more you read, the more restrictions they get. Fetish About Dumb Lover
Also, this book is a huge fetish book. There is a huge difference between writing a character who has low IQ and fetishizing a dumb character. We all know about how males fetishize dumb blond girl, right? Here, the book fetishizes dumb guy character. Although MC is also kinda dumb, the main point is that she's the dominant one in the relationship where she can make ML do everything she wants. And the way their interactions are written points toward that. Especially when they are kissing or exploring each other intimately, the author writes those parts as soft p*rn. Just read their first kiss scene. MC literally forces herself and ML doesn't even know that tongue kiss exists in this world. He's terrified but also likes it. And MC loves his expression. While you are simply reading a kiss scene, you totally feel like ML is being sexually violated. Or when MC asks ML if she can touch ML's chest. Because ML is so innocent and doesn't know a thing about foreplay or intimacy between lovers, he gets extremely uncomfortable, he wants to cover his body, but MC doesn't let him. Basically a fox predating little red riding hood. Although MC is written as a dumb girl as well, you don't feel like two dumb people exploring each other, but one taking advantage of the other. What's this, if not author's fetish? Extreme Scenario of Love Idiots
MC and ML are love idiots, and that's basically the main theme of the story. It was cute at the start, but at one point even that gets frustrating because they are clearly in love, and people around them know they are love idiots, but they don't give the main leads any good pointers. The pointers are always off the mark and thus their romance takes a weird direction every time. Can't someone just point it out to them that they are in love for god's sake? Also, please someone give them s*x education. They are over 20 for god's sake. Everyone knows that they know nothing about being intimate, and they can see that they want to be intimate, but prevent them from learning those stuff. If MC hadn't learned about kissing in her previous life, I doubt they'd even know about kissing. Basically they are that dumb. But when MC finally finds a p*rn book, her butler forbids her to ever read that, and prevents her from making ML read even romance books. Isn't if f*cking suffocating? After kissing, they want to so something further, but they don't know what. At least MC touches ML's chest and abdomen or bites his neck, but ML isn't even able to do that. He's 27! Can you f*cking believe that? Two fully grown humans who want to make love but can't because people around them don't want to give them s*x education and even prevent them from learning from books. F*ck, just reading it made me feel suffocated. s*upid Logic to Forward the Setting
Also, there are some contrived logics used. For example, a prince becomes MC's butler. MC is just a heir to a countryside noble house. And the prince claims that he's doing so because this would improve ML's reputation. The prince and his sister start a rumor that he is in one-sided love with MC, so he became her butler, but despite him being a prince, MC still chose ML to get engaged, so there must be something special about ML. What kind of s*upid logic is that? Is everyone dumb like MC and ML to believe in such a ridiculous rumor? If they have the ability to spread rumors, at least spread rumors like MC has back problem so the doctor has advised her not to wear heels, or she has some allergies so she can't stand the smell of makeup. Because the girl hates them. At least this would improve her mobility and keep her nose from being assaulted by unwanted smell. But nope, despite knowing that she was a knight her whole life, they force her to become a proper noble lady. Tell, Not Show
Another problem is that the story doesn't show, just tells. For example, ML is said to be scary, but it's just other people telling MC that everyone finds ML scary. But even when MC and ML went together to a banquet, there aren't people gossiping about him and getting scared and panicking. For it to be believable, there should be multiple scenes of him scaring people with just his looks, no? But there are more scenes of him being cute and people caring about him than people scared of him. So, how am I supposed to believe the setting of ML? They also say there are extremely bad rumors about ML going on, but what are they exactly? Apparently, people think that he's a child of the Emperor but that's by no means a bad rumor. And this is also something MC didn't find out as a rumor but others mentioning that such a rumor exists. Again, there's telling, no showing. Also, apparently every girl loved MC when she was a knight and had a huge crush on her. But we only learn this from MC's mouth. In banquets, we don't hear other young girls talking about loving MC as a knight at all or glimpses of how girls acted around her. She says she received tons of love letters and that's it. Again, the novel tells, doesn't show. Also, apparently MC's and ML's godfathers don't like each other and thus won't let MC and ML get married. This is also mentioned by others. We don't see them arguing with each other after meeting. At least that would have made us believe the setting of why MC and ML aren't married despite desperately wanting to.
