I Will Divorce the Female Lead’s Siscon Brother Chapter 172 Discussion

It's slow in first ~50 chapters but satisfying.

Liena, AKA original female lead, shows everything wrong with "regressor gets obsessively adored" subgenre. Plot twists explaining how MC got in this situation are genuinely great! There are some hiccups, such as, Spoiler

ML being cold and paranoid, but falling for Ethel easily, godness being a troll, amnesia cliche and villain (it's just Liera and her brainwash worshipers)

[collapse] to name a few. About genres: Spoiler

drama is just Liera ruining her own life by not settling for anything less than perfect paradise, romance is 80% carried by male lead (he deserves respect for polite straightforwardness), fantasy is just there to justify setting (demons invasion is said to happen in the future but as of 142 chapter, nothing "fantastic").

[collapse]

Overall, it's like a play in a small theater. Basic drama and romance story done right, but no a masterpiece.

172 chapter update:

Original FL is defeated and story becomes generic. One of several dozens "FL is a saint" and "stop demon god".
