An Unseemly Lady

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I was the only younger sister of the female protagonist in the reverse harem novel.

In addition, I was exceptionally pampered by the female lead after waking up after being very sick.

I used that to defeat the original inexcusable tr*sh male leads who only hurt my sister…

‘Lili, how are you? Do you like cake?’

‘Lili is really pretty because she resembles her sister. Won’t you eat cookies? Please tell your sister that these were given to you by your wonderful brother.’

‘Would you like to eat this and go over there for a while? I have something to say to your uncle and sister.’

For some reason, the male lead candidates seem anxious to see me.

***

“I don’t play with ugly kids.”

The boy in front of me muttered with a deep frown.

What? Did you really just say that?

I’ll show you what the real world is like.

I gently pulled the hem of my sister’s clothes and shook my head.

“I hate him, so I hate the older brother who brought him.”

At the same time, Cedric’s face turned pale, similar to someone who had been sentenced to death.

First off, it's a great story. It doesn't feel too icky unlike other transmigration manhwas (I will NOT elaborate). Of course, it didn't make too much sense for the FL to have amassed a small harem like this but I tend to switch OFF my brain when I read, . The true ML is my fav, first off, and I kind of think he deserved a lot better. FL took a lot of time circling around and leading on her choices and it irked me. I understand her viewpoint, obviously,... more>> she's incredibly relatable and makes a lot of sense but the romance felt underdeveloped on her side, unlike with ML in which it happened too quickly and stood for too long for such a weak foundation. The concept of love at first sight itself is already shaky and doesn't stand very well in most cases. So I would've liked for there to be a deeper understanding onto why he chose to stay in love for so long, especially as in the beginning of the story, they genuinely didn't interact enough. For FL, I've mentioned, but it's just too much rushed writing decisions. Every other ML candidate would've made more sense in any case, even with the subsequent explanations of her choice. It felt more like she picked the safest option rather than genuinely loving someone. Of course I do love them as a couple and already can't wait for the rest of the manhwa to complete so I can finish it. Otherwise, the plot is perfect, and her imposter syndrome makes a lot of sense as well. Her constant debates with herself on whether she truly deserves to be who she is and whether she could actually continue to stay as she is resonates with how I think I'd feel in a case of transmigration. Genuinely, besides the issue of the lack of development on romance, I think the story is perfect in terms of plot and such. It handles transmigration in a unique way compared to the mass-produced plots of now, and most characters are generally well developed. Especially FL. Would recommend if you can look past how unrewarding the romance feels. Luckily, I like the ML so I'm not complaining more than I already have. I'll just enjoy the relationship I'll never get!

Spoiler

ML is blondie. Surprising, right?

It's so funny! The protagonist puts the "male leads" in check, the older sister is nice and the way the story is coming along is nice.

a review of the manhwa up to chapter 47

I'm not sure how different the stories are between the novel and manhwa, but I'll review the manhwa version because it has more chapters

at first, it seems like the protagonist is accumulating a harem and toying with a harem of little boys. (The boys fall for her at first sight, and MC thinks it's expected because she's pretty)

... more>> She may seem very bratty in her interactions with the boys, her sister, and her sisters suitors

but eventually we find out her insecurities and get somewhat of a character growth and improvement in her interactions with the boys

the story doesn't proceed at a fast enough pace for me because the beginning centres around her intervening with her sister and her suitors' relationship, which is very slow life-like

but the art is really great, characters have different clothes everytime I see them <<less
