His One Love Chapter side story 2 Discussion

This is set on the premise of a reader transmigrating into a novel she had read.

The reader took on the body of a nouveau riche/rich first generation daughter that chased the orphaned and commoner ML because of his looks, and later married him, Spoiler

ML agreed because "she's the only one available, so might as well"

[collapse] before divorcing because he was too poor.

The ML got reunited back with his OG family, and suprise surprise, it was a house with deep connections to the government, the paternal side produced diplomats, and the maternal side was of noble blood or something equivalent. His status and power rose like a phoenix, while the ex-wife's family crashed down like a meteor.

So, much like other villian troupes/novels out there, MC treated the ML with gentleness and love. What she thought was going to be a happy ending when he proposed to her, became a nightmare instead. ML slowly intergrated all aspects of him into her life, Spoiler

transfering her job to his company, limiting her friends and family, keeping track of her location. etc. before confining her in their apartment for 10 years. she later commited su*cide by jumping off their opened window in their 14th? floor apartment.

[collapse]

When MC woke up in the past, back to their student days again, she changed her strategy. Instead of love and care, she taught him the world-views, and brotherhood?. Alas, it was all for naught, the ML proposed to her once again, and she brutally rejected him. Spoiler

This time, she was locked in the basement for 10 years, with no windows or light. She left the world by slitting her wrists in the bathtub.

[collapse]

When someone has experienced confinement for such a long time, its obvious that MC would resort to other methods... like following the exact basis of the plot, just so she can finally find some solidarity. So she became the most obnoxious gold digger/green tea B out there in hopes of a divorce.

Spoiler

Wanted extremely expensive jewerlly so she has bragging rights, or demanding the ML to change their car, because she doesn't recognise the brand, so it must be cheap. ML later agreed to exchange his actual limited edition 'only 5 in the world' car with his equally powerful/rich friends for a cheaper Porsche

[collapse]

I think the author protrayed a pretty realistic MC. Unlike other transmigrators, she isn't the best when acting under stress or fear.

Spoiler

When she is caught on the act by ML, she changes the topic by being angry or whiny lol.

In the 3rd life, MC mustered up her courage and brought the divorce papers for him to sign, when all of a sudden, he said "You sign first", and then she remembered what happened in the 1st/2nd life. She did the same thing, but it was bringing him to the divorce bureau instead, where he said "You go in first, I'll follow after you".

ML never took MC wanting divorce seriously, he only agreed to go there in the first place because he was indulging in her, so when he actually saw her take a step, he blackened even more and dragged her back to their apartment.

MC remembering what happened after that incident of course felt scared when he said those words with the exact tone and look on his face. ML knows she is afraid of him, he can see the fear in her eyes, and the shaky hands she's trying to hide. But she still have to keep up her bi***y act and was like "No you, I'll sign after you."

When he threatened her and said "No, you go first." again, she threw the pen at him and started a tantrum instead.

[collapse]

What I don't like about her is how at random times, the author would add past information about her for like 5 chapters, before never mentioning it again. Or even worse, add in a completely new arc/plot, and then leaving it with no resolution.

Spoiler

She was invited to ML's friend's bday party, where she met the actual FL of the book (also the actual green tea), the FL saw a unfinished GO-game, and was like "Oh, I remember your (bday-guy) grandfather is a avid player, I wish I can play with him more often, but I still have room to improve, what about you MC?"

And then MC all of a sudden had extensive GO background cuz her real life father was a GO coach, so she had seen thousands of pro-players and stuff, which was never mentioned before, (this was near the end of novel as well). And she was like "I'm actually pro. Bet I can end this game in 1 move." And she did, and wowed everyone because they all thought she was an uncultured spoiled girl.

[collapse]

Though the main story is completed, and only 2 side stories have been released, there is still a chance that the author might use these new information again. As such, I'm am not too worried on these plot-holes because they don't really contribute to the main plot. The only golden finger she has is her knowledge from 2 lives (not too useful, as she was stuck in a room for half her life in both lifetimes), and the plot of the novel. (the characters didn't even follow the plot for 2/3 lifetimes, so its not even useful)

The characters apart from the MC, are also not as fleshed out as I hoped it would be, even the ML. I am hoping the side stories would do him more justice, as we rarely get to peer into his mind.

Spoiler

ML knows he is insane. ML regained his memory from both lifetimes in the form of dreams. Not once did he disagree with the confinement of MC, because she is all that he got. Not even after remembering how she died twice in front of him because of his actions.

ML does not react to people talking sh*t about him, because that's how he got by all these years, but when someone talks sh*t about MC. He instantly goes angry and cold. The more angry he gets, the bigger the smile he has on his face, and he is mostly expressionless.

[collapse]

Summary: Did I feel like I wasted my 3 days on this book? Sometimes. But overall, it's a decent book if you want some toxic relationship after reading the sweet ones.

I will probably change my rating once the novel is fully completed. Spoiler

The side story is basically their past lifetimes recounted, so there will be more character and plot development.

[collapse]

But its 3.5/5 for the main story as of now.
