My Little Grand Duchess Chapter 50 Discussion

Follows the template and unfortunately generic.

If you love the generic tropes this follows then thats exactly what you will get and its not really bad but its also not really good. The story is fine but doesn't really make too much sense Spoiler

MC gets offered a lot more gold than he was supposed to be hired at because the one hiring loves his tea skills so much, which also he worked at a coffee shop why is he a master at brewing tea???

[collapse] and fails to really make it realistic in many scenarios.

The characters themselves are fine if not predictable, painfully predictable that at around C50 there was a twist which I was surprised about because there was no set up at all before the time skip and it simply happened because its a trope. Spoiler

duke ends up falling in love with MC

[collapse] One could argue there is some setup in the way of building trust between MC and duke but there is absolutely no romantic inclination except basic respect.

I predicted most if not all of the story, the side characters are extremely forgettable to the point there was a bully character that I had to be like, Who is this again?, This character was also wasted completely some very simple character development of the duke. Unironically the most non-generic character is the duke, which is still very generic strong rich man with showing no feelings.

I am just disappointed because it could of been a lot better than what it was to be honest if some care was taken to do so and make consistencies. For example some small ones are Make the MC instead of having worked at a cafe he worked at a specialist tea place in a city, MC while he likes money show him valuing relationships more because this causes a issue with character consistency later when Spoiler

MC buys potion for the little girls scars but then refuses to let duke pay for it out of spite even tho MC has shows to be very greedy and its supposed to be a character trait

[collapse], I don't remember exactly however I have no idea why MC is strong and knows how to fight, I don't think its explained or if it is its very shallow.

If you want a basic feel good read that follows tropes and the only surprises are because its shoe horning random scenarios to fit the tropes then sure give this a read, otherwise I wouldn't bother.
