Lauvil's manga / #Clichéd(50)

I feel like this story couldn't settle on just one trope/cliché to go for, so it took all of them and mixed them together... Either way, my impression from the first few chapters is not very good. Gonna drop this for now.

It was kinda cute in the beginning, even though the story is pretty cliché. But now I'm just kinda bored. The dynamic is pretty much just the same and there's so little tension and chemistry between the main couple it's ridiculous. I don't wanna be bored anymore, so I'm dropping this.

This story is so boring, clichéd and predictable. The FL is bland and the ML is a walking cliché, but without any redeeming qualities, unlike others within the trope. Like, he established a Harem only to ignore all the ladies - even when they try to commit suicide or are murdered. He thinks of them as burdensome, heck he doesn't even want to pay their living costs. If you are so uninterested in taking a consort, then don't. Otherwise recognise your responsibility and take care of the ladies you've taken in. Don't just cast them aside and let them suffer. Like, wtf. Ofc the ladies in this story are all portrayed like shallow, selfish, annoying bitches to justify his actions and make the FL stand out as "the exception" and fit the "not like other girls" trope. But it's not only an overused cliché, but a stupid and mysogynistic concept.

Paused ch. 35 Korean woman reincarnated as the Villainess of a novel, Lesian. Her family is abusive and her father has basically sold her to be the crown prince's fiancée. Originally Lecian was in love with the Prince, but now that someone else is possessing the body, that's no longer the case. Lecian decides to get out from under her family's thumb, get out of the engagement, and learn swordsmanship - all with the help of Duke Kiernen. I'm not quite sure what it is that this story wants... So far it is mixing several different tropes, and I just wonder what the point is. - Reincarnated as a Villainess - Noble lady abused by her family, who starts standing up for herself - Fiancée already has a lover, who is a meek, sweet, lowborn girl. I feel like they are about to mix in a "contractual relationship" in a moment with a fake engagement (which Kiernen wishes was real). But who knows. There is an engagement between the Prince and Lecian standing in the way. Where the fuck is this story even going? I have a hard time remembering the plot each time I come back to it, bc it's so generic.
