A Mastermind? No, I’m just the Live-In Son-in-Law

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

People keep assuming I’m some kind of evil mastermind.

But seriously, I’m just a son-in-law freeloading off my noble wife’s family.

…Why does everyone look so suspicious?

Wait—don’t tell me. Is it because of my squinty eyes?!

MC was low key and has comedy misunderstanding. BUT the story become not interesting as MC no longer keep misunderstanding and publicly claimed as hero instead as hidden villain. He scratch his head often also unbecoming of his demenor. If only he can remain be misundertood as mastermind, it would have been better. Further the king has similar character and understand MC. Thats a minus too. The character become no longer mysterious or interesting.

The female heroine also become aphroachable just because of handkerchief, im expecting more tsundere, but this one... more>> looks too easy. <<less

I actually really enjoyed it, and it was just 3 chapters. I think we have a fun and sinister misunderstanding story with a brilliant premise.

The tone feels like we'll get enough people actually figuring things out... that will make it more convoluted and fun.

I've only read three chapters so far, but I am crying laughing. The misunderstandings are played perfectly. Every single side character that has showed up so far is super likable. The FL is vicious, cunning, and intelligent, a beautiful villainess, the little sister reminds me of a pitiful rofan heroine born into a tyrant family, the butler is like a loving grandpa that sometimes wants to say "this punk..." (LMAO) The protagonist seems smart, and it's funny how his kindness keeps getting misunderstood as schemingness. He feels handsome, which I... more>> like. I am super hyped for more chapters! <<less

This novel is genuinely enjoyable to read. The misunderstandings are entertaining, and unlike many other novels, it actually made me laugh. I really like the characters introduced so far — each one has a distinct and unique personality. The situations leading to the misunderstandings are absurd yet surprisingly logical. Overall, it's a delightful read without too much unnecessary fluff. I hope it maintains this quality throughout.
