Oh ofcourse she has to 'fall' and get saved, because God forbid the female lead in a romance novel excels in her own damn field without being a damsel in distress to push in your 'romance'. Just remembered why I can't read straight shit anymore I should have known her acting all confident about being able to do her own job just means the author is going to add a scene where she needs saving.

    Woman MC being capable? Naaah, who wants that? She needs to be weak and incompetent, so all girls reading can relate, am I right?

    I wonder literally WHO is the target audience when authors draw stuff like this, because it sure isn't the women reading it. Unless it's a butch lesbian saving me, I really will sooner fall on my ass than let a man catch me brah

    There are a lot of women who like this, I see it in korean manhwa often. Especially with 'MC is poor and mid, ML is rich and handsome' plot. It has no relation to reality, because MC is often has no redeeming qualities, she is as mid as possible, again to make her more relatable. It's not clear why ML will even look twice at MC,
    but he is in looooove ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
    BTW, BL manhwa has a lot of the same but gender is different.
    That is why I like long friends to lovers plots, in straight and in BL manhwa.
    Can't say about girls love manhwa, I wonder though... I need to try it.
