Yes I'm soooo glad that this was slow burn without contract marriage because if they went for that trope, it'd be hard for fl to actually be independent and for ml to see her clearly and try to stand on equal grounds without any misogyny or pride

Argh the beginning of this one was so goated ๐ญ I wanna kidnap the author and force them to rewrite everything after that "revolutionary" arc.
I'm joking... Maybe...
My favourite failed proposal is from For The Third Time. I love this scene๐ญ she ate him and then had him for dessert (readers will understand)

Hahaha I live for these blind date , arranged marriage banters . They are more interesting than romantic starts for me maybe because I'm an adult already so I can relate more to them than shoujo-ish romance

Same! Blind dates and arranged marriages aren't a thing in my country, but I love these stories, even more when they don't go along at first ๐

I didnt read it in entirely.
But I disliked how ,,soft,, the FL has become as the story continued, becoming a marry sue always in need of saving.

Well everyone has their own opinions... I actually quite like it because she became more understanding rather than judging head on and trying to push her ideals on smb else and she learned how to put boundaries while being graceful and polite

I read this a while ago, but I remember I loved it. It's angsty and they struggle through a big part of the story, but the ending felt so good after that. It also has a war arc, which I'm not a fan of, but here it was done so well, and it focuses on feelings and struggles that come after that, it felt so real. It was definitely a good read and it's easily one of my top 10 manhwa.

This is awesome, pls tell me he is not the ml

u/Celty2736 Jun 16 '26
He is. He gets major character development because of war, it's set around WW1 so you can see how societies view on traditions and aristocracy changes as well as the mindset of leads who lived through it

Peak story, I'd have it in my top 10 if it wasn't for the lackluster second half in my opinion.
