Stopped at chapter 80. It l has been an interesting read. I enjoyed most of what it offers. The MC acts believably, the main heroine has an interesting backstory and dynamic with the MC and overall enjoyed their screen time. The only parts I didn’t truly enjoy is why I stopped at ch.80… which are the two characters that have been developing in contrast to the MC and heroine. I was questioning myself why do I care about these two and why bother having the intimate chapters with them. I just don’t feel a connection to them. I completely understand WHY they are part of the story for obvious reasons but I just have a lack of care to read chapters about them. I’m sure it’s my subjective issue rather than a problem with the story. I just felt bored when they got screen time. I’m sure it picks up… I just didn’t have the drive to continue. But anyone looking for a new read should definitely check this novel out though.

I was thinking if Rose’s sister had a really insidious plan and swapped Blake with an impostor during that time skip of a few months of them getting closer. Even Rose was questioning his “new” confidence, I was wondering if you were able to pull a crazy plot twist.

Ya heard me

It be pretty wild if this Blake turns out to be a false Blake and the real Blake is being held somewhere. Otherwise, nice story so far

Putting aside some grammatical errors, this story is unfolding well. I like the MC, I am enjoying the characters around him and the plot is advancing at a solid pace. I would say more but it is early for this novel. Just continue and keep fleshing out the world as it has potential.

I’m glad I am not the only one. I keep reading, waiting for any change in the MC. But I always leave disappointed. Like, at this point, just switch the MC to be Tina. She is actually much more interesting than the MC right now.

Vincent!

TLDR: interesting novel due to the cast of the Villainess and her plotting rather than the MC that is worth a read even with its weak points. The story is moving at an acceptable pace. The most interesting character in the novel is not the MC but the villainess. The MC is boring and uninteresting at the moment. The story has been progressing because of the Villainess’ machinations… which is understandable as the story unfolds. However, I hope the MC actually becomes something more than what he is currently and sooner rather than later. I’m not asking for him to flip a switch overnight. I just would want the MC to have some actual character progression and interesting introspection and inner growth rather than being prodded along from the Villainess. There is only so much “weak smiles” or “smiling bitterly” I can take from this MC before I throw up my hands and move on from this story. Also, let’s not make the MC too much of an oblivious dolt for too long, eh? Just my opinion as it can get old fast depending on how much the author leans on the cliché comedic bit. Overall, will continue to follow the novel as long as it moves forward with MC growth and interesting Villainess.

“Jaime, bring up that video of Yuito fighting that bear”

I thought this chapter was going to go a very different direction, thanks for not doing that.
