agreed, at the very least don't act like your husband is a parasite. Don't avoid him while making a disgusted face. In this manga the FL atleast knows her behaviour is hurtful, in most others the FLs don't even realise how their actions are hurtful. Like, how low does your EQ have to be to not understand that if you act like you're disgusted by a person, they will be hurt and act out? You're MARRIED, you're an adult, you've passed puberty ages ago.
THIS!!! Thank you! And other FLs never realize their mistakes until it’s almost too late and I don’t remember them ever really apologizing for their behavior because the MLs are just glad the Gals are talking to them again. Which sucks as well, like hold them accountable for their childish behavior.
exactly!! So many authors seem to think that all readers want to see the FLs girlbossing and being cavalier with other character's feelings. So making all other characters caricatures, who live and die for the FL (even when she is horrible to them) is peak storytelling for some reason. As if readers can't stomach having a main character suffering for their own terrible mistakes.
I feel like this is female readers' equivalent of what those ecchi isekai mangas do, where the horrible, misogynistic, and undeservedly OP MLs somehow gets all the girls to trip over themselves for him. Fortunately, for shounen readers, there are a bunch of great shounen manga out there that show strong MLs without resorting to the cheap harem tactics. There are very select few of those for shoujo, so to get a main character FL who can stand on her own, we have to resort to reading through these barely concealed fetish mangas and manhwas.
If there’s one trope I hate (even though I hate a lot of them), it’s the “ugh, I’m so embarrassed and shy and uwu because I dreamed of the ML/because we kissed once/because we were very close once and now I have to avoid him to the extreme and create misunderstandings until it’s almost too late”. Like get over yourself, you’re a grown woman.
I know that she was aware that she created the misunderstanding by pulling away, but this wouldn’t have happened if she wasn’t suddenly acting like a prude even though she’s tried to fuck ML for the first, what, 30 chapters? It happens so often and it’s such an unnecessary trope. Like yes, it’s okay to be embarrassed but going as far as to avoid the ML like the plague is over the top. And it’s not enjoyable.
I also know it’s probably going to cleared up quickly since this manhwa is, I think, quite good at that. But I’ve seen this trope happen way too often and I’m sick of it.
