I Am The Male-Lead’s Ex-Girlfriend

Description

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

My role in the novel begins with the appearance of the heroine: the woman who’ll change the life of the male lead. To sum it up, I’m supposed to cling to him and beg for his affection. The original Erika was a nasty ex-girlfriend.

I didn’t want to be a s*upid villainess, so I put myself first and distanced myself from him… And yet, 3 years later, this very man reappeared in front of me. What a strange thing… This shouldn’t be happening…

“I don’t think I can do this without you. I still like you.”

What is this…? I’m not the woman you’re supposed to be obsessed with!

And coincidentally, Zion – Leonardo’s best friend – has been acting strangely. I felt sorry for his fate as the sub-main character, so I’ve comforted him often… but have I gone too far?

“I like being with you. I like you. Everything will be better if you’re by my side.”

… I’m not the character you should like. I’m merely a villainous supporting character, and yet the men of the novel quickly begin to confess! Who should I choose?

Officially accepting members of "Zion doesn't deserve these shits squad."

Yes, tbh I'm having the gut feeling I'll be loving the second male lead more than Leo. And I also love the female protagonist, she's not a pushover nor irritating like most MC I once read. Also... very natural and embracing of her own attitude not the old owner. She and Zion could be a power couple tbh. The male lead? He cries? Ok. But did he look for her? Nope. He just cried. it's pathetic tbh. crying won't do anything. my mama told me I should get things if I want it so nope. not a fan.

Overall it's fairly good as an isekai. Want to read more.

okay MC and ML were all fluff I know but, I don't like the MC here, she's kinda uhmm you know beachy (I don't want to cuss) I felt sorry for the orig ML, like yeah I know you know what would happen and stuff but bruh did you ever felt what the orig ML will have? T^T He's been crying and missing you saying that the reason why you broke up with him is that he wasn't worthy. He focuses all his attention to make himself better and ask you again but.... AHHH! truly I felt sorry for him, now the orig FL was with him asking herself to be MC's substitute instead so that whenever he miss MC, he would think that the orig FL was the MC, plus the ML dude! that Zion (the white-haired guy who was playboy because he wants to find love) yeah, he got close to MC knowing that his only best friend got dump and even if he knew his best friend loves MC, he still chooses to fall in love and stuff.. and then pretend to be lovers and do "that" oh and that maid that you thought is the orig FL, hell nah, its the brother of orig FL pretending to be a maid LOOOOOOL. So I'm kinda disappointed on it, the MC is weak and her only privilege is that she has beauty, yeah her father dots her mhm, but she doesn't care about the ML's bruh, the novel is only the thing that she takes advantage. She doesn't understand them! but these ML's all fall for her thinking that she understands them and stuff lol, I'm not hating it, I guess it was not my cup of tea (TBH IM ROOTING FOR LEO HUHU BUT THINGS DOESN'T GO where you wanted :3)

If your already debating on reading this let me tell you that it overall a pretty good read isekai story. The FL isn't horrible as she seems to be to a lot people maybe she isn't the biggest badass or as brainy/clever as Einstein but she seem rather cool and just chill. Shes like your average human but even so I think she's still a decent character. For you saying that shes evil for leaving the male lead she has some major points to why she did that. If yall... more>> remember shes a daughter of a marquis and he is inheriting dukedom plus he is fated to end up with another woman and in the story he breaks it off. So before she gets too attached and she decides to break up like he did in the story so she won't suffer a heartbreak.

(OH AND FOR YALL WHO SAID HE LITERALLY CRIED AND THAT SHE HEARTLESS!! BOI HE ACTED LIKE HE WAS COOL WITH IT AND EVEN DIDN'T TRY TO HOLD ON TO HER PLUS HE SHOUDN'T BE CRYING OVER THINGS LIKE THAT HES A GROWN ASS MAN AND WAS GOING TO DO THAT TOO AS SOON AS HE MET THE FL IN THE STORY.) <<less

After going through all the trouble to mtl this from chinese to english... I gotta say it was disappointing. The FL is kind of weak compared to other stories FLs. She is only interesting to the mls BC she is gorgeous and knows their background without them having them say it themselves at first. I spoiled some details in the spoiler forum for this so check that out if you want to see why I don't like the fl.

Ooh, a new series I would come to surely like. There are seven chapters as of the time of writing this review, but I feel elated and excited to what would happen next. The feels for the two male characters and the female MC herself is fueling my curiosity and it makes me want to read more. I am hoping for a steady release. Thank you Author-ssi and Translator-ssi. ?

Take it with a grain of salt because I had to MTL the novel.

Erika: MC transmigrated into a novel as the villainess. From the said novel, she knew the origML would fall for origFL. And she as the villainess will have a BE. Before all that happened, she decided to take the first step by breaking up with origML. After that, she had countless relationships which ended up with a break after 3 months. She was simply following the original plotline you see. Why follow the original plotline when you took your first step outside the plotline? Anyway, she did try to like origML. But, he was unconsciously pushing her away.

ML #1 - Zion: He also knew the novel's plotline because he had a copy of the novel. I'm guessing he was reborn. He took a liking to Erika, his best friend's ex-girlfriend, mind you, because she emotionally touched him. It's like she could read his mind with bare effort. Well, guess what ML #1, it was because, like you, she knew the inside out of the novel. It's her cheat code. He was suspicious of her because she was different from the novel and placed a spy by her side.

ML #2- Leo: I feel bad for this guy. He thought he was not worthy to be with Erika and decided to improve himself. He had low self-esteem being an illegitimate son compared to Erika who was a legitimate daughter from a noble family. After 3 years he came back hoping for a reconciliation only to see Erika kissing Zion. Brokenhearted, he leaned on Juliana, the origFL and also his maid, and somehow their plotline sailed through. He got so much hate from readers.

ML #3 Elliot/Alio: Erika's best friend who had a crush on her. She was clueless and that's about it for him.

ML #4 Julian: He was Juliana's brother who was saved by Zion. He was ordered to be Erika's maid and to do so, he pretended to be Juliana.

Juliana: She took the job as Leo's maid because she wanted to uncover the truth about her brother's death. Being an illegitimate child herself, she sympathized with Leo. She was the shoulder he could lean on. In the current timeline, she was his listener as he shared his angsty love life with her.

The plot was well written. Every character had their respective flaws. I have no right to judge anyone. But, Erika being annoying was not my cup of tea. She and Zion suited each other because both of them starved for affection. While Leo and Juliana suited each other because both of them had a similar background.
