I am up chapter 563 and he is still just as icky as he was at the start. Sadly this seems to be a trait amongst these female lead transmigration fantasy novels; very very icky/creepy/pedophilic male leads. This novel also has a few other common traits of this genre; * Female lead has NO female friends, just male companions * Rape is a Victory Condition for both the heroine & the Villains (whoever gets the other raped first wins) * All the other major female characters are [stupid][irrational][possessively jealous][screechy][obvious in their behaviour][fanatical][gluttons for punishment] villains with no redeeming character traits
This is the girl genius sub-genre. When you read it you know you are getting a mary-sue story. It does not hide it from the start. The female lead is always a genius polymath who is emotionally distant and the ML is always possessive and creepy/icky. All normal in the genre. I like this sub-genre because I just see it as a super-hero story; and I read it in spite of the icky male leads that are always present in this genre). Though I have to say in this particular story, the girl genius is a bit dumb. Half the conflict plotpoints are caused by her being dumb.
My issue with it is that it is a white lotus vs white lotus vs white lotus story. The female lead is a white lotus as is the villainous stepsister, as is the childhood friend of the ML. I am only up to chapter 185 and all of them have broken into tears in front of men for no reason (or no reason I take seriously). Doubt I will be able to make it to Chapter 500, let alone chapter 1000. The room-mate/best friend of the female lead is the best character by a country mile.
