Grievance of the Young Bride Chapter Completed Discussion

This novel is pretty realistic and you see the MC progress with realistic settings and nothing too OP which made everything much more believable.

I MTL the end as I was quite impatient to see the end and even if the tone at the end is a bit more slice of life in that dynasty and less angst and revenge it was well constructed enough that I finished the main text easily. (Haven’t read the extras but the ending is satisfying enough IMO. Also thanks to the author for not cooking overused plots that wouldn’t have made sense.

Quick note in the protagonists (minor spoilers only) :

MC:

Spoiler

She is indeed a woman from that time period that only was influenced by her own demise so I liked that she wasn’t as desensitized to social structure and norms such as the impact of divorce as most modern time travelling FL. One good thing is that she isn’t OP per se but relies (mostly) on her skills and good will built with others

ML:

Spoiler

Just the right amount of « pushy » to justify MC getting out of her shell without being cringe or criminal (NC is NC even if some readers can appreciate it in a fiction). Smart but not OP and not deranged either. As the plot is condensed it is the ML that moves the plot along but it feels justified by the setting rather h-than Mary Sue.
