When the Villainess Died, the Male Lead Went Crazy Chapter 43+ Discussion

update: to 2 stars. (and this generous)

The story WAS interesting. The drawn out misunderstanding became overbearing quick. I probably would have loved it if I was 16 but, its predictable and unrealistic (in how people -specifically adults- would react to said situations).

The FL's thought process about fate and everything is really dumb and annoying, Which doesn't make sense since she's supposed to be smart in every other aspect.

The ML is the stereotypical obsessive male lead. He is irrational, soft with FL until the next chapter when he's cruel for no reason. You will get whiplash from this man's mood swings.

I like the 2nd ML (a priest) more since his devotion is not ruined in obsession or dependence. His interactions with the FL are entertaining and heartwarming. I read a spoiler about the end ship and

The FL (Anais) ends up with her husband, the ML. They have twins at the end. I honestly wish novels like this just had the divorce and gave readers a proper happy ending. The current misunderstanding is supposed to last 100 chapters so...

Although the novel's concept is interesting, the execution is less than mediocre. The novel lacks consistent characterisation. If the FL is going to portrayed as smart, she should understand that the characters in the original novel are real people now and that they can grow and change instead of forcefully maintaining her beliefs by saying it's fate.

In the end I'm dropping this novel.
