Guide to Stabilizing the Blackening of the Villainous Husband

Description

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

Ling Zhen transmigrated as a female cannon-fodder in a dog blood novel.

The female partner had plastic surgery done for the novel’s male lead, and then divorced her husband. The ex-husband blackened in the later stages of her life, becoming a big villain in the novel.

And she, for betraying her husband, and angering the only relative he had, was finally retaliated by the blacked-out boss, and is killed in a mental hospital. Orz

Fortunately! She transmigrated just in time and the big guy hasn’t turned black yet.

So Ling Zhen turned into a healing little fairy, sang sweet songs and danced fairy dances, touched her head and cooked lovingly.

Appease his violent mood, change his paranoid thoughts, reform his antisocial behavior – at last! Transformed a black bomb into a good young man with a docile temperament and a positive attitude!

The potential safety hazard was completely eliminated, and Ling Zhen finally dared to leave with confidence, so she took out the divorce letter that year.

The next second, heaven and earth changed color, and the superficially good villain will be suddenly! instantly! blackened!

Ling Zhen was so frightened that she cried, “A-Anything else? QAQ”

Wei Xi suppressed his emotions disguising them with a smile, while the underneath of his eyes filled with real madness: “Yes, there is.”

Stay with me forever and don’t run away.

—————

Wei Xi is sick. He has always known of the misery, paranoia, and possessiveness in his bones.

His little fairy thought she had cured him.

Actually…not really.

After possessing her, his sickness, worsened.

Hi! I'm the (self-proclaimed) MTLer for this novel. I found this while scrolling through jjwxc and wanted to share it with you all.

One thing I like about this web novel is that the FL does not give a damn about the plot and uses her knowledge of the novel to her advantage. She does not try to act like the original vicious female partner, but she also doesn't completely go OOC.

At first, the FL just wants to survive. She tries to stop her villain husband from blackening to change her... more>> fate of being tortured in a hospital like the original host. FL is quite pragmatic.

The FL is not OP.

Spoiler

The FL was a fairy in her original world and doesn't know everything about the human world. However, she uses logic to deduce things (like using the food delivery app to find the address of her house). She gets lost; FL has a bad sense of direction.

[collapse]

And neither is the ML.

Spoiler

ML knows that he is obsessive. He has an inferior complex, which isn't all that surprising because he has grown up in an abusive environment. The ML fears FL will find out about his dark past and tries to hide what he thinks is his ugly side from her. However, love is about accepting people for who they are, and the FL does exactly this when she sees the man behind the persona our ML created.

[collapse]

The ML goes through character development. He is not the type of ML that continuously ab*ses the FL - if you are looking for a novel with a sadomasochistic relationship, this is not it. The ML gradually learns to express himself and his love for the FL, and FL returns his unconditional love.

The original ML is similar to the novel world's male leads in I Just Want To Freeload on Your Luck and Guide To Raising the Sick Villain. He's not exactly the cold ML type with facial paralysis, but still a dog man.

Spoiler

OriML only starts to get interested in our FL when she doesn't want anything to do with him anymore. After all, she is not the cannon fodder in the book and naturally does not like the original ML.

[collapse]

There is some face slapping, but I'd say the novel's protagonist group had it coming toward them. The novel focuses more on the relationship between the FL and ML than revenge, though.

Does it have a happy ending?

Spoiler

Yes, it has a HE.

[collapse]

I only translated the first chapter, and I can't help but appreciate NU translators even more. \ ( ̄︶ ̄*\)) Hopefully a real translator picks this up? Haha.

Enjoy! <<less

I MTLed this novel.

Why I rated this novel a 2 when clearly every other comment is positive. Firstly I will admit I haven't finished it past chapter 53. I couldn't. The reason why I rate this novel very low is due to a personal preference. The author is not very good at writing internal thoughts and monologues often over simplifying things and using cliche yandere tropes. While we get a little understanding of the ML's darkness here and there initially, what's described is not very detailed but rather skimming the... more>> surface. MC on the other hand is naive in thinking she can just "heal" the ML by being good to him a few times and making him read chicken soup books. This approach while well intended is tremendously misguided and patronizing to what ML is going through. All throughout the whole novel so far, it's all about ML having to cater to MC because he is afraid to lose her and having him change himself for her. Normally that kind of psychological change and work takes many years and in a couple relationship requires hard work on both sides to achieve. This novel simplifies everything as if it's so easy and magical. I've seen a trend of novels treating mental health issues as a modern Beauty and the Beast curse. I can't help but feel up in arms at the message that this might bring to women who might actually be in unhealthy relationships being told that all they have to do is be a sweet little fairy and they can turn their loved ones into "good" people. Maybe there is more character growth but so far as of 53 chapters, MC really does nothing to help ML and still has the naivety to think she's making a difference. Even if in the character growth they show the ML later getting better, I can guarantee you with absolute certainty that reality is not so quick and sweet. I'm unable to suspend my understanding of mental health issues enough to read this and enjoy it. For anyone who has gone through this or knows friends who have been partners to people with mental health issues, you know what I mean. This isn't real. It's just a joke. A joke I don't wish to read.

If mental health issues as a topic doesn't trigger you and you expect no realism in a sweet fluffy modern twist on Beauty and the Beast type novels, go ahead and read this. Maybe you'll find it sweet and sugary. Don't look to this novel as a guidance for a good or realistic relationship. Just because the girl states her boundaries and the ML listens to it does not a working relationship make. There's so much going wrong here. The plot with the fairy background is barely stated. While I haven't read to the end, my guess is it'll come back at the end to tie this story up. That part would have been interesting but I am personally just touchy about how these romantic novels mishandle mental health issues hence my gripe.

One thing that is present in these kinda transmigrate into a novel books is the idea of MC treating the whole world like NPCs. Even the way she treats the ML is like an NPC that she sets herself some tasks to complete to help "heal" him. While it allows for some comedic effect and funny moments, the reality is someone going into a world treating people as not human. This further grated on my nerves because how can MC want to "heal" ML when she doesn't even see his humanity. Because of her mindset, all interactions so far seem contrived and vapid. While this is a common transmigration trope, it's one that I don't enjoy. It's like MC treats the world as an otome game in which they need to select the right speech option to make a difference. It's really demeaning and just something I dislike from the genre itself when it's not handled well. Commenters have mentioned that MC will change later which is a good thing though.

If you love sweet girl magically saves depressing villain novels that make no psychological sense but has lots of fluff and sugar, read this. However there are many novels that deal with this kind of topic better even among CN web novels. Don't let me stop you from reading it. This novel just isn't for me. <<less

I found it kind of boring and got tired of waiting for something interesting to happen.

Mainly I've stopped reading because I hate some of the implications the author makes about beauty, like how the FL is super beautiful from becoming whiter from her fairy powers instead of her darker skin before. I know it can be considered attractive to be pale, but it was still unsettling to see how the author emphasized that she was white as a slate and the male lead was super hot because he was white... more>> as chalk. <<less

A note on the TLer which won't affect my review but I think should be said for other people who want to read their provided chapters:

... more>>
Spoiler

The TLer's site is so full of ads that I ended up just MTLing it myself. Also, they seem to do that thing where TLers chop up chapters so c1~3 is actually just c1 in the raw, etc. I don't think chopping up chapters is bad, but I do think it's bad when TLers 1. Don't let the readers know, and 2. Profit off of it by having 5 or more ads in each chopped up chapter.

[collapse]

My review is honestly just a checklist of bad things. The MTL is very difficult to get through, but I can get the gist of the story.

  • The FL is a mess as a character. She's a go getter and firm as a rock to others, and she's very proactive, but she acts like a scared innocent (squeaky) mouse towards the ML. The OMCs are pretty bland and cliche. It is a little interesting to see the FL and ML's relationship in the first few chapters, if only because their dynamic at the start is funny.
  • All main characters (OMCs and MCs) have to have their attractiveness constantly pointed out in the narration. ML can't just be a cold but capable boss, he has to be a cold but capable boss that everyone has the hots for. It makes more sense for the FL since she did go from not good looking to suddenly pretty, but it's exagerrated way too much, especially when the author describes honestly bland outfits but then praises it as so beautiful because she's wearing it.
  • As an extension of the previous issue, the dogblood/confrontation scenes are also very disappointing and frustrating because the FL usually gives honestly very bland or even bad responses that still gets praised to heaven by the author for being so smart and witty. At one point she gives a very childish response to an actually reasonable critic of her and the rest of the chapter goes on and on about how mature and intelligent her response was.
  • There's a flamboyant male side character who gets chosen as FL's assistant because he's "interesting" and "probably gay so he's not a threat to ML".
  • The midway point where ML cracks and FL runs away was resolved so poorly and unsatisfyingly. It's a showcase of everything I don't like about the FL.
I eventually got so fed up with it that I dropped at c60. If you can ignore or get used to everything, it's a decent enough read. It's not offensively horrible and has moments of being interesting. But I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. <<less

I tried. Really. I can't finish this because the author described the FL so much. She's perfect okay because she's a f*cking fairy. But wtf why do you have to write every time? And the way ML just acted possessive and such is a big cringe. If I read this back in 2019, I would enjoy this but stop portraying yandere, possessive ML just like that. Can someone just do it right? It feels half-baked.

I can't, I simply can't.

I started this one, but the beginning just made no sense to me that I have no desire to explore, my brain just keeps hooking on those things.

Let's start with characters, who honestly belong to novels from 10 years ago. As per usual the cannon fodder is a s*upid girl, who can't see how good her situation is (married to a wealthy man, everything might work out fine), but she keeps on dancing on the edge of morality with her love for male protag of this... more>> story. She of course loses all face and others making fun and belittling her already out of habit. You have no idea how tired I am of such settings. I wish there were more novels like I've read before, where character are reborn and they are not described as being the bu*t of the joke, but there is a dive into character's past, their temperament, how were they managed to be exploited by others, how they realized that they put feelings into unworthy people, how they might have been too conceited and they paid a heavy price for it etc. Although I've seen several of those in danmei, but I don't think BG romance can't do it.

The newly arrived FL is of course way better~... But in all honesty she's not better, she's a basic dumb character with water instead of brains, but of course her beauty and clear eyes are captivating. No one explores the world of the original Ling Zhen, how she grew up in such oppressive environment, then sold for money, then she was sent to the mental hospital with a ruined face. I wish this would have been a rebirth novel, this would have been interesting. But no, we have a fairy~ who enters this world (for what reason?) and is so afraid of her husband that she shivers like a bunny. It got me annoyed when she constantly kept saying - don't get angry. If it was real, he would be pissed off by her. Imagine he wasn't angry and she imposed anger on him. His "anger" lasted.. for a second. Which was so short and for some unknown reason ML falls for FL pretty soon. It becomes evident due to his posessiveness in attitude and change of tune that he is after FL now. But why? Was my question. There is nothing about her except beauty and those clear eyes. Yeah, she danced a bit, who didn't. During that time she did absolutely nothing to move ML, but you know how it goes, that old wood needs just a spark to burn. But this is also a big failure for me, because in this case ML is the one who "tries" to change for FL and she basically did nothing. This is contrary to what the summary describes. But she patted herself on the back and thought she did a good job and it is evident through her attitude that she thinks he changed, just because she thinks he's good.

She did not understand him at all.

ML's portrayal of posessive and paraniod is also old (the scene where he scratched her, but actually felt like there is going to be some ** action in the future was such a turn off), not to mention old, it's usually very shallow too. FL mentions that he had a troubled childhood, but you have to give author the award for perfunctory descriptions. I rarely see authors giving MLs enough space to portray what they've gone through to become like that. On the contrary FL is a fairy who doesn't sound like one. She acts as if she was born yesterday. But she is beautiful and attracts everyone. And there is so much emphasis on her beauty that it becomes tedious. Of course she's a fairy thus the beauty, but is there anything else to her character? Because I don't like her and I don't like her for a reason. Remember that she knows the plot and decided to smooth ML and make him more humane and peaceful? Remember she knows that his mother might get into an accident due to her own sister's loose mouth and jealous heart, which seeks trouble? Yeah, now you may also remember that instead of being with ML, as she promised, and actually helping ML's mom with more care she f*cking chooses to audition for a role. She says - well, I can't always stay with ML, I need to earn myself. Yeah, no problem, but entertainment industry? Profession where one person may basically film in another city for several months without seeing each other? I know she will change later, but I don't like her because of her initial ideas. Miss mam, can you finish the unfinished business, while you were so afraid of her husband and then go film, dance and do whatever? Kinda counter-productive, don't you think? The house won't collapse if she won't go to the party or audiotion (btw that "party" was hilarious, especially dancing, don't you find it weird how music changed several times and also between western and eastern, I laughed so hard at her description doing splits in her dress, I read MTL).

Then when ML shows his edge she escapes the next second. I'm sorry, from reader's point of view of course it's all bad, but from his point of view he has no idea she is a different person, but she suddenly changed and treated him nicely, they are a legal couple I mind you, I see it as sending mixed signals. But do you think this will be explored? Don't be naive, MLs sometimes are treated like shit, not to mention their portrayal is a mess, their lives should be no better, but they also have grovel for FL to come back. It's bad of him to do what he did, but his portrayal to me is such a mess, because he did it since she agreed to be with him, it seems like she did not read the book at all, her initial goals about him were thrown out the window, she did not understand the man at all and didn't bother to find out it seems. People need to talk more. I'm generalizing but it sounds too much like another story where the girl is on top and it's a one-direction pampering and enabling. ML makes many moves to change or improve and FL does the least, but gets the most just because of what? She breathes? And honestly I feel so bad when I see such situation. There are many nice female characters, some may be strong, some may be kind, but at least even if she does nothing but makes ML feel good - write it down. Say it.

Anyway, I'm dropping this, I've read several gems prior to this one and I don't want to ruin the good mood. I may read this dioganally or more like just read beginning and ending and throw this into the tr*sh. It felt like the official summary and the actual text do not correspond much. Mystery? About the fairy land and why she landed here? You think I care? I felt it will take time, they will spend it together with some cookies and slowly get closer. But now it feels like those stories where MLs falls in love first and then FL might be tempted, but after a long time she stops treating ML as a task. Why others recommend it beats me. <<less

Some parts dragged a bit, but overall, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this story and it's characters.

The FL comes from the Immortal Fairy World and gets transmigrated into a Cannon Fodder character. Because of how fairies are born and live, they don't really understand the emotional surges of humans. Stuck in an immortal world, everything is always the same day after day.

In the novel, the FL gets transmigrated into a character that gets imprisoned, tortured, and eventually dies because of her villainous husband. So throughout the story,... more>> she tries to keep her contract husband from blackening and becoming villainous.

I like that the characters aren't all about fluff, naiveté, and romance. The FL doesn't understand romance or love, nor does she quite understand the world. However, she is far from s*upid. She's able to understand things on her own, and reach her own goals through her own efforts. Nor is she like the stereotypical FL who will fall for the oppressive domineering president due to stockholm syndrome or force.

The ML has a very heavy past. Is the ab*se he and his mother heredity? Can he change?

I think what I really enjoyed about this story the most was the FL's pragmatic way in dealing with the potential violence. Afterall, she had already read the novel's ending, so it's not surprising that anyone in her character role would be frightened. And yet she really tries to work with the ML to avoid the blackening, and confront his potential abusive actions headon without running away. I've never been so impressed with such a strong female character that wasn't like some hidden action hero before. The FL doesn't really have magic, nor does she have any magical skills other than a really good talent at dancing. Yet, she's so emotionally strong, it's quite amazing.

It was amusing that she ended up forcing the ML to change all the masculine decorations in his room to cute pink patterns.

I rated it 4 stars, because I really enjoyed reading about the FL & ML characters. The FL for her inner strength and pragmatism to go for what she wants, and the ML for balancing his possessiveness, hair trigger temper, and his goal to acquiescence to the FL's demand to work together peacefully. <<less

I started the novel at a time when I was obsessed with reading Chinese web and light novels, I was reading a lot of novels at the same time along with this one.

So I kinda got bored midway and focused at other novels, I came back again and finished the last 20 chapters I had left.

And oh boy I loved it, those 20 last chapters were full of sweetness and fluff, I enjoyed their moments together, I also loved how the ML got from that dark and cold person to... more>> be such a cute romantic hubby.

This book would've gotten a 5 if there wasn't some boring chapters in the middle, if the writer made finished it in 70 chapters, it would've been absolutely my favorite.

I know some people had given up on it in the early chapters but the sweet ending will make it up for all the boring events that made you stop reading.

So if you want an Innocent FL and a ML with a painful past, alongside a ton of romance, this is YOURS. <<less

To be honest I nearly dropped this novel because the MC wasn't my type. I kept reading because of the male yandere lead... And thank God I kept reading because it was worth it.

The background characters are really background characters and they don't appear much. MC and ML fight quite a bit but that's because of ML's nature and him not being strong enough to overcome his mental hurdle and open up about his past.

ML actually has the largest character development in the entire story, while MC found the meaning... more>> of life.

Fully recommend, I found the story a bit bland... probably because the author isn't a sad*st and they didn't satisfy my M genes... But there's some tears at the end so it's worth it.

WARNING: There's no large plot twist and no intense drama and dog-blood; I felt like this story is quite focus on romance and ML changing his mentality.

PS. As the original translator said due to them only translating one chapter there might be some plots or emotional text missing... If someone properly picks this up I'll go back to reread because I feel like this novel might have more depth than it's shown through MTL. <<less

I MTL this so some part of the story was quite vague but for me, if you prefer for a fluffy at the same time quite yadere-ish this story is for you. It's good read to passed time.

It's not necessarily that dark but I think there were some parts of it were. It's a slow burn romance I guess? I mean it takes time before they realized their love for each other and to become a better person for each other. The plot was so-so, not too complicated and scene... more>> were place in the right sequence of the story. The conflict weren't over lapping each other.

In conclusion, if you don't want something mixed of aggressive-passive kind of story then don't read. But if you want something fluffy, sweet but kinda yadere-ish then this is good for you.

  • P.S. I really don't know how many stars I should give so I just settle for 5 stars

I’ve rated this 4/5 stars. If I could really rate it accurately, I’d likely rate it 4.1. Simply put, the story dragged on too long on unimportant things (i.e. Dancing) but the romance was cute.

ML realized he liked her, she didn’t notice for awhile. Later on she likes him back. They’re a cute couple.
Spoiler

Even his blackening moments are cute because he knows when he’s wrong and reflects on it but he truly loves her.

[collapse]

Certain cannon fodders are wrapped up too neatly or quickly for there to be real satisfaction as a reader.

MC’s naïveté really gets on my nerves at times. She can read and study when it came to anger management and cooking but not her emotions regarding ML or physical affection? Though it doesn’t ruin the story, it feels weird. As if MC is 16 and naïve while ML is a creepy older man.

Spoiler

Basically, the romance is the best part. It’s gradual and realistic in a sense. Very cute. I wish MC continued to be an actress but dancing became the main thing. I’m no dancer and reading about her ‘perfect’ form and techniques was very repetitive.

Like, that’s my fault for not noticing the dancers tag but still T.T. We get it, she’s OP in beauty and dance.

I didn’t like the ML’s father coming in so suddenly when there was no hint of him coming at all. No foreshadowing. Just, oops here’s an old man with a scar. Here’s him harassing the main characters. Now he’s in jail. His conflict was wrapped up too swiftly.

The final conflict regarding their separation was really sad but also wrapped up quickly??? I think the author has a habit of introducing things without intending to keep them/it relevant for too long because they don’t know how to create a decent plot arc with conflict, characters, and resolution. ML and MC are too OP in their own regards.

[collapse]

Anyway, the ending was sweet. Don’t pick this up if you’re in for a quick read. I mtl’ed it and the story took me a few days because at certain points I would find it hard to continue since it became stale.

Spoiler

The last chapter made me really happy~ Their wedding was so cute! Though I wished there were more extras on their child (children?), it was still satisfying

[collapse]

I wouldn’t recommend MTL’ing since stuff gets lost in translation. Overall, a decent read.

the translation is hard to understand, the ML has no personality, the FL has no personality, and overall the story feels bland, rushed, and has no real meaning or substance. The way the FL acts is too unbelievable. Right after transmigration she begins fawning all over the ML, and he just accepts it without much thought. There’s just something lacking in the story and the pacing isn’t quite right.

I was torn what kind of rating to give this novel.

I MTL-d this and it was quite easy to understand. I feel like plot development could have been better - pacing varied from slow to quite abrupt which got disconcerting at times.

I did enjoy that the characters were extremely flawed. Aside from a few villains (Ori!MC's sister, novel FL's lackeys) who were two-dimensional, but I think the other side characters were a bit more fleshed out than usual.

There was character growth for both MCs and that was ok to see.... more>> I still don't think their relationship is very healthy and it did end at a point where they were slowly improving, so maybe it is a happy ending?

TL;DR: Personal preference - not my type of romance. Writing could be better. I do like flawed characters which pulled up the rating. <<less

How should I put this? It's not bad but not my favorite. The FL being a real fairy was an unexpected surprise but I was also disappointed because of that because aside from being a little fairy, she's really not that powerful, nor does she have any super powers or something. She can be easily frightened and nervous. The ML also didn't gave me a good first impression. He's a yandere through and through. Paranoid, obsessive, possessive, and easily jealous. However, what I quite liked was how the two of... more>> them gradually changed. It's not a sudden change, but step by step. Both of them are flawed but beautiful. One is like sunshine while one is like darkness. One is an untainted white while the other is the unfathomable black. But they complement each other well. They accepted each other and although the FL isn't an OP fairy, she's likeable because she's kind.

This story is definitely not lighthearted, but it's a story of healing and changing to be a better person. Although the story mainly focuses on the main leads, I guess it's fine. The story is only long enough for them. The OG main leads, well, their ending wasn't mentioned but whatever.

Anyway, I'm someone whose enthusiasm for a novel sometimes depends on the translation quality. However, I managed to finish this by reading the MTLed version, therefore, although I'm not that enthusiastic, it's still a surprise that I managed to finish it. Overall, it's quite a good story. 7/10. <<less

3.8 stars. Didn't love it (MC), didn't hate it (ML). MC a little too weepy, a little too white lotus, a little too mary Sue for my taste but I can't hate her for being what the author wanted for the ML. ML, being a possessive, paranoid yandere needed someone soft like the MC to forgive him for his transgressions and help him heal from his darkness. What I liked was that the ML had a past. He was filled with emotions and likes and dislikes. He was like a... more>> colored painting from the author's pen while MC was like a faded sketch. She has a backstory but her backstory is lackluster and bland. Even so, there was something that drove me to mtl it but honestly, coming to the end all I felt was "ah, well, that's that." What sticks to me was the ML so ┐ (シ) ┌ <<less

Simple novel aside, this novel has overdramatic Chinese beauty standard (I'd run away if I see people with porcelain-white or chalk-white skin....), sudden subplots like many reviewers noticed, a half-baked yandere ML, and a cringe fairy who somehow obtained the human world's books to transmigrate into. It's kinda unreasonable, I think, because it's implied that the MC often visited the mortal world to experience the entertainment (and thus buying books that has transmigration trap to people or supernatural beings with the same name lol) so why the heck did... more>> MC was unable to go back if she could bring human books to her realm?

In my honest opinion, this novel is just as mid as The Last Cat in the Universe. They even had the same theme, the MCs were some kind of dense supernatural beings, the MCs has the same goal, and the MLs were half-baked yandere.

Also, no offense to people who liked this story, but I do agree with people who said that this one's boring. I don't know why but the authors always tried too hard to make naive MCs endearing and cute to the readers but it backfired so badly. And as far as I know, supernatural beings in Chinese mythology aren't depicted as naive or dense virg*ns so it's kinda off-kilter to read. The cringe factor was too high to endure. <<less

Holy Sh*t...

I wrote a f*cking paragraph and it just disappeared like that?!

God! I'm so mad right now! 😭💔

Bruh so,

Simply put, average novel, typical chinese transmigration, and your cliche romance of a domineering president and sweet little wife.

Don't let the description that I wrote above affect you. I still recommend it to be read though. It's a cute, sweet, and fluffy romance novel.

Overall, the story was okey.

The novel was all about the perspective of the Female lead, so we readers can't see what the thought of the Male lead. It would be nice if we can see the thought of the Male lead in the last chapter of the extra story.

The Author created the character of Female lead was a fairy that don't have normal ways human emotions and thingking. So I think it's was understandable that the Female lead was a blank of paper.

For me, the Male lead character was good.

It lost me, to this point was nice, simple and a little bit cliche, but it was interesting

the pros:

1 it has a little bit of mystery

2 the FL it's simple but likable

3 there was some face slapping

the cons:

1 the ML is boring

2 the "small villains" had zero brain cells

why I drop it:

... more>>
Spoiler

the ML takes off his mask and tries to cage the FL, faster than you can say Yandere all things were fine again, the FL forgives the ML and now this Yandere, that was hyped for like 50 chapters to be Mr. You-will-never-escape-from-me lets her leave and feels sorry and now is asking for consent. ALL OF THIS IN LIKE 3 CHAPTERS

[collapse]

The first 5-7 chapters are written so badly, but it gets better. Endure the first couple of chapters. It gets a little frustrating in the middle part (mainly because of MC), but I persevered and I'm glad I read it to the end.

MC's character grows on you. During the first half of the novel, I found her irritating and insensitive. She does not treat the people around her as living people, but as characters of a book. Conflicts arise from her mentality. She becomes a better character on... more>> the second half of the novel. ML, despite his imperfections, is actually a good character. He's such a cutie, you'll want to take care of him.

The villains of the story are poorly written. They don't have any character growth and just pops out of the story for plot convenience. They don't hold much importance. The conflict is more from the struggle in mentality of MC and ML rather than from the villains. Basically, they are true cannon fodders. <<less
