While the MC's skills may not surpass professionals in every aspect, like his first acting performance, he isn't instantly perfect. They share many cute moments, like the ML's willingness to quit acting if it means MC can join, or adjusting schedules for couple variety shows to accommodate MC's studies. Both characters are committed to each other and support each other's growth.
Their relationship is tested by differences in fame and resources, with the ML known more widely, leading to nicknames like wife and sister-in-law, while MC's friends and family affectionately refer to the ML. The ML is possessive but learns to manage his emotions, seeking professional help and becoming more secure after going public. The supporting characters bring humor to the story.
Initially, there were concerns about the relationship in "Perfect Spouse," but these turned out to be unfounded. The discovery of a hidden NPC adds a charming touch, and the characters' reactions to their growing bond are heartwarming.
The fans' journey from skepticism to admiration for the MC-ML couple is a fun arc, culminating in creating a fan group to protect Qiqi from being swooped up by others. Their union solidifies their status as an official couple, setting them apart from other speculative pairings.
What I appreciate about this novel is the sense of "being there" with the characters, who start from humble beginnings and steadily progress. It evokes the bittersweet feeling of life's fleeting nature and the uncertainty of the future, yet offers satisfying resolutions, a hallmark of web novels. As readers, we grow alongside MC and ML, uncertain of what lies ahead but enjoying the journey together. Despite the characters' flaws and challenges, they continue to live their lives authentically.
The reader wishes for the MC to have some weaknesses or flaws, like being incompetent at cooking, to make them more relatable. Overall, they rate the story 2 out of 5 stars, acknowledging that the translation is good, though.
A rephrased version in English would be:
The reader expresses dissatisfaction with the主角, stating that their extreme prowess borders on being unrealistic (Gary Stu-like). While they generally tolerate a degree of idealism, the character's seemingly effortless knowledge of minor details about others, which can suddenly boost their popularity, feels contrived and lacks substance. The plot's reliance on the MC becoming a national figure for trivial reasons irks them, when similar feats in other stories would be grounded in something engaging or humorous.
Moreover, the lack of any visible flaws in the MC's skillset, encompassing every aspect from sports to cooking, makes them unrelatable. The reader suggests that even a simple shortcoming, like poor culinary skills, could provide a much-needed balance.
In conclusion, they give the story a rating of 2 out of 5, while complimenting the translation.
What sets this apart is how the main character's (ML) public declaration of their marriage, despite its facade, demonstrates his understanding of the difficulties faced by celebrity partners. Initially hesitant, ML supports MC's schemes wholeheartedly, ultimately revealing his deep commitment. The narrative delves into profound questions about love, which might have been overwhelming for MC had ML not initiated the marriage proposal as a lifeline.
In summary, this is a delightful and heartwarming read.
