Quick Transmigration: The Second Female Lead is Poisonous Chapter 1095 Discussion

"I love me a yandere--the crazier the better" -- If you do not agree with this statement, do not pick up this book. There are many books on this site tagged as "male yandere" where ML is an overbearing, possessive vinegar king--this is not one of those books. The ML of this story is a real f*cking yandere, like "kill everyone around you so you'll only have me to rely on", "drug you and lock you up for months so you'll always be with me", "cut off the tongue of anyone who dares to say something bad about you" yandere.

There are quite a few reviews that discuss ML's yandere behavior and the plot twist of the cultivation arc, so I'll focus my review on other things.

First off, I don't understand why this series is called the Second Female Lead is Poisonous. It's true that FL is the second FL in every story, but she's always a silly, sweet white flower in every single arc. There is no face slapping, revenge, badass OP FL shows people who is boss storyline. FL just goes around seducing ML via her s*upidly cute personality.

This story needs a tragedy tag. The first few arcs are fluffy romances with a light yandere ML, but after the first cultivation arc (the one with Xueran) the stories get progressively darker and begin to end with BE (bad endings), e.g. Spoiler

• ML kills FL's whole family and becomes her enemy
• ML imprisons FL and no matter how many times she commits su*cide she can't escape
• ML is an assassin sent to kill FL and they fall in love during the three days before her death occurs

[collapse]Get ready to bawl out your eyes as our leads fall in love, but ML ruins everything with his insecurity, selfishness and yandere behavior.

The author loves plot twists. The twists start out very entertaining and novel, but after awhile I began to find them repetitive and annoying. The focus of the arcs gradually drift from romance to mystery.

There's about three arcs in a row where FL loses her memories and doesn't understand what's going on. She can't find any of the characters she's supposed to interact with, the setting seems wrong, or ML is already by her side but she can't tell if he's in love with her or wants to kill her.

The level of plot twists just gets more and more ridiculous the further you read, such as

Spoiler

FL falls in love with a disfigured bandit. Since she's the daughter of the county lord, she's worried about how to make her parents agree. Oops! Jk. FL is actually a ghost who has been dead for 300 years and has the ability to create fantasies around her, so all the plot with the origFL and ML are fake. Haha jk! This was actually just a simulation to resolve a bet about whether FL would still love ML in a future where he abandoned her to save a town of people.

[collapse] The more you read the more you will feel that this author just doesn't play by the rules. After awhile I began to have a strong distrust of the plot and the characters. I spent the whole time sitting on tenterhooks waiting for the random bullsh*t plot twist to pop up.

One of the things I liked about this story is the reoccurring characters, items and habits. For example, FL's dad is always named Xia Chao and her mom is Wang Ci. In every world, they secretly love each other, but due to past mistakes by dad their relationship is bad. Dad and Mom's personalities never change, FL is always their spoiled beloved baby. FL loves sweets and always eats osmanthus cakes (especially after taking medicine). Agarwood wine is the local specialty in one world and pops up in another world as the key item to help a ghost relieve his regrets. Running across these Easter eggs was a fun way to lighten the mood, as the stories got progressively darker and twisted.

I love me a yandere, but what I'm here for the romance. Sadomasochistic stories were FL is tortured by her complicated feelings for ML are not my jam, so although there were some arcs that I totally loved, I think I'm going to put it down here. Still I can recommend it for those who like everything I've written here (extra points cuz there's light smut in most chapters :P)
