Reijou wa Mattari wo Goshomou Chapter 10 Discussion

There are some good things and some obvious flaws with the storyline. The fluff and and sugar content is certainly high but that is countered by the many illogical decisions made by the MC. As much as her fiance was an a$$hole she was a little bit too happy to be gotten rid of by the man she liked, it felt very much she never put any energy into the relationship and was far too busy with escaping the academy and her family. But what I couldn't understand at all is her family relationships, especially the one with her grandfather. If their relationship was so good than why, as the elder in the family, did he not scold his son for being a no good family? There was so much effort put into describing how important the grandfather is and how much he loves the MC to subsequently put no energy into changing her fate... let's just say that the author put barely any thought into the world building and back stories to make them fit together, the only thing that mattered is that she ended up owning a cafe and everything else was not important to the author. A pity because if there was a believable background story it would have been easier to relate to the MC and what she is going through but instead we get an environment that does stuff for all the wrong reasons without any explanation of why

Another very annoying part is the website on which this is hosted. There are no next or previous chapter links and with very small chapters I feel like I spent more time waiting for the website to load than actually being able to read the story. If a reader wants to read the story from the start she/he must click the link for the first chapter, wait for the page to load, read for a minute and go back to novelupdates, wait for the page to load, press the link for part 2 of the chapter, wait for the page to load, etc. This is not a user friendly way of presenting a story. It must be said that the translation/editing is pretty good since the writing style the translator has adopted feels natural and it's easy to understand what the story is trying to tell.

P.S. this review is not a four star review but because the novelupdates user interface is very crappy it is not possible to change your vote if you've made a mistake. This is a 2 star review, there are some good parts but most is overshadowed by the large amount of plot holes that are filled with illogical reasoning and filler that does not make much sense
