So tired of 2nd ML syndrome

Spoilers ahead. I’m so tired of authors only introducing ML later in the story and having the ML an MC barely have chapters together then fall in love. The reason why it feels so cheap is bc they don’t build a relationship on foundation and history for the audience to see. Plus I’m tired of the secretly good ML trope. Everybody saying prince was fake in the last life to protect her and he was a real one but tbh the relationship sounds toxic. Buncha lies and stupid miscommunication. Knowing prince is ML just makes all the fresh takes in this story kind of sour. If the whole premise of the story is about doing things different this time why not have her end up single or with someone else? Makes the whole story feel like she made all these moves and changes just to be with ML. And don’t tell me it work out bc she love her baby so much, she in a different life now and she know that.

    Well, that’s your own problem? Lol. This story just begun. There are 243 chapters of the completed novel. This manwha is not even halfway done. And you don’t seem to understand that in the past life, he had to treat her like that to PROTECT her. Her premise is to get revenge, not to do every single thing differently. That includes taking different steps for revenge, but that doesn’t apply to love. Revenge ≠ love. And technically, she had no intention of falling in love with him, but she did again, and that can’t be helped. The male leads introduced so far, she has just planned to use. But she doesn’t want to use the prince. Her falling in love with the prince has nothing to do with the child she had in the past life, and the way their relationship develops I’m sure is much deeper than that. And the author hasn’t introduced any of the male leads as love interests. The only person who is causing you to get second male lead interest is yourself, because of how the characters look, which I’m sure is a main attribute of your opinion on them. Maybe I would understand better if there was romantic developments between her and some of the male leads so far, but there hasn’t been. Maybe I would understand you better if this was an Inso’s Law type case, where author develops so much chemistry between two characters just for them to not end up together, but that is not the case. There has been no romantic development between her and any of the male leads. Only the prince. Only the prince is someone who has really been described as a love interest. She wants to use Hurelbard for protection, use Raphael for money, and she sees Ren as a person to avoid because he’s a block in the way of her revenge. I’m sure your opinion on the ML will change as the story develops. And as you said, everything will be different, right? Their relationship will be different. The way they fall in love will be different. Everything is different. May be the same man, but I don’t see how that sours the “freshness” of the story, because her relationship with that man will be “fresh.”

    You’re kind of pressed. Maybe eat a snickers or something. It’s just my opinion chill out. I’m not saying she can’t be happy with the ML but women can be single happy and fulfilled too. Plus this is a webcomic adaptation so it should be able to stand on its own. Death of the author.

    I am actually not ‘pressed’ in the slightest.
