The main character, MC, started off promisingly as a cheerful and resourceful individual. However, his character arc took a disappointing turn once he became involved with the love interest, ML. He transformed into a weak, overly-sensitive, and impractical character, reminiscent of clichéd shoujo tropes. It seemed as if he was meant to be a replacement for the female lead, FL, rather than a compelling protagonist.
Despite his charming exterior, the supporting cast and even the female heroines blindly adored him, seemingly oblivious to his lack of growth or intelligence. Even the heroine herself acknowledged that the pampered MC seemed like a more idealized Mary Sue character compared to her own strengths.
The forced acceptance of the secret contract between ML and his friends, driven by MC's paranoia, further contributed to the story's unrealistic elements. It added another layer of confusion to the plot.
Almost every character in this narrative falls short in terms of intelligence and common sense, which was quite disheartening. My primary reason for reading was the excellent translation, and I must commend the translator for their skill.
In summary, if you're seeking a lighthearted harem tale with a damsel-in-distress protagonist and a cast lacking depth, this might be the book for you. Despite my critical tone, I must acknowledge the translator's exceptional work, so do show them some appreciation.
The romantic relationship dynamics between the MC and ML fathers added an unnecessary layer of complexity. The revelation that the MC's own father was unaware of his identity further complicated matters. Unfortunately, the frequent point-of-view changes did little to clarify the story and contributed to my eventual loss of interest.
The male protagonist, forced to keep a secret contract with the MC's friends due to the latter's paranoia, which reminds him of a possible romance between the characters. They switch identities temporarily to shield the MC from danger, as they share similar appearances. The male lead struggles to stay away from his friends, knowing it's not ideal.
The plot intertwines a BL game and an otome game, with two main heroines – one a normal character without any special circumstances, and the other a reincarnated MC. The story attracts bi-curious targets due to the crossover. The author's decision to feminize the MC, a college reincarnation, through princess-like treatments, though initially for fluff, becomes questionable as it deviates from the重生 concept. The MC seeks a "princess etiquette education" as a fiancé, which seems out of character and unrelated to practical goals.
The focus shifts from teenage relationships to adult scheming, with characters manipulated by their parents and societal expectations. Despite the drama, the MC eventually marries the ML, and they have children together, partly to maintain the royal line. The female protagonist chooses to leave the game and embark on an adventure with an otome game target.
The male protagonist, after a tragedy involving the MC, sells himself to powerful aristocrats for personal gain and later develops feelings for his stepbrother, a hidden BL interest. The root of all the chaos lies with the 'Majesty,' who manipulates women and forces marriages for power.
The MC, aware of the Majesty's past wrongdoings, requests a form of justice through a bizarre agreement. The father's abuse stems from his love for the Majesty and his own arranged marriage. Despite the MC's love for the prince, he resists breaking the engagement due to the prince's royal duties. A new princess enters the scene, further complicating matters.
Ultimately, the princess marries the ML's father to allow the prince and MC to be together, while the Majesty continues with his polygamous arrangements. The story lacks depth on the male lead and his friends' activities, focusing more on their innocent childhood friendships. The author could have delved deeper into their growth and development to win readers' sympathy.
Overall, I genuinely enjoyed the narrative. (✿◡‿◡)
