etien's manga / #Cliche(150)

Picked this up to see what the hype is about. Genuinely curious as to why this is so popular. The art is nice, but man the story... Utterly unlikable FL, pretty meh ML, initiatives are all nonesense, dialogues are over dramatic and nonsensical in most part. Everyone is having an scheme but falls for FL along tge way just because and now we have to read their endless monologues of how this lovely FL is putting them in a pickle, on and on and on. I am beyond bored after 20sth chapters, jumped ahead and it just gets more and more ridiculous. Talk about waste of time. If you are looking for a "girl boss" type of story, this ain't it. She is a bratty princess (as mentioned over and over by different characters) that is swinging between being a damsel in distress and faking a strong front that ends in damsel scenario anyway.

Art meh, story clich af, narrative boring as hell, dropped at 60

The story has a nice comic vibe but tries too hard on the dark side of the backstory and ultimately fails. The FL character is doormat emotionally and her raison d'etre is to just be tgere for ml and accept him no matter what. Like the reveal in chapter 49 was pretty big and she was still "so what, I'm gonna stick around like nothing ever happened. Which doesn't really help the bratty ml grow up and mature. She just cuddles him and he just receives the cuddles and wallow in self pity. The comedy was good, but that was just about it.
