I Am Recommending Myself For Marriage

Description

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

When people are desperate, they have the ability to do anything.

For example: breaking into somebody’s residence, or selling oneself for marriage

——-Translator Really’s synopsis:

Wen Gu, a half human-half Lester species from a so-so family, unexpectedly proposes marriage to Chi Sheng, a fiercely independent and war-hardened general who was in an accident that disfigured his whole being.

Wen Gu’s proposal isn’t for love—he needs protection from his family who had been planning to sell him off for marriage. So, Wen Gu—ever the practical thinker—decides on a bold, maybe absurd solution: proposing marriage to the infamous monster abomination, Chi Sheng.

Chi Sheng, who is secretly a bit tired of everyone treating him like a monster instead of a person, was stunned by the proposal but figures, why not?

Besides, it wasn’t like Chi Sheng did not want Wen Gu’s proposal, in fact. . .

Wen Gu: *shivering* …I sense that I fell into a pit somewhere…

Read the MTL for this one. I'm just going to mention some stuff I liked here:

The MC is a very realistic deception of someone with anxiety. Not only that, he's a realistic depiction that you don't often see; his anxiety is subtle but noticeably effects his thoughts and actions. His anxiety is even acknowledged, but the reader already knows he has it by the time its named. It doesn't magically get cured by the end. MC also doesn't want revenge against those who harmed him, he's just tired and doesn't... more>> want anything to do with them anymore - a very realistic reaction in his situation.

The ML isn't the cold/stoic/overbearing type! He's kind of standoffish because of his situation but is also playful and shamelessly teases his friends. He teases the MC a little but knows when to stop and avoids embarrassing him on purpose. His friends actually have characterization outside of "dumb friend whose purpose is to be a foil to ML/person for ML to show off his love to MC to".

Very little drama, all heartwarming-ness. MC has drama that mostly happened before the start of the story, and the novel mostly details wrongs against him being righted. The plot doesn't get complicated. Might be boring to some, but I was just looking for a nice story and that's what I got. Didn't drag out too long and also gave a complete story without leaving any loose ends. It's a good, enjoyable story that I liked a lot, so it gets a 5/5. <<less

If you need break from drama filled heavy plot novels which break your heart, this is perfect heart rest for you. This novel is sweet, no miscommunication since couple talk it out real fast that it can’t even form into something big. It’s not revenge type of story, all about flourishing sweet love and getting closer and closer to sweetness, you could say - ‘Beauty and The Beast’ fairy tale.

Enjoyable sweet fluffy read it is. Unfortunately, I took one star because of... author doesn’t give good explanation of their alien... more>> forms. Many mentioned as well as translator that it is explained in previous author’s work, but I started this one and there should be no need to go read other novel just for it since they are connected only through ‘shared universe’. A bit soured my mood since it is a bit hard to imagine how tail looks like or ML’s beast form... Always imagined him in a form of something like Godzilla (albeit smaller) or The Thing (from Fantastic Four).

To sum up: no drama, no misunderstandings, interstellar setting, novel concentrates mostly on growing feelings and affection. It has happy ending, wish there were some sweet little extras tbh :3 <<less

Let me start by saying that as long as you come into this just for the sugar, then there will be no problems.

I will say that the author pretty much tells you this novel was written because she wanted to write their love story. And that’s honestly all it was, a quick little exploit about their meeting, experiences and their love. Nothing more than that.

So if you come here interested in the background plot and drama surrounding his (ml) accident or faceslapping family members (mc) then please look elsewhere.

Lucky... more>> for me, I just needed a novel less intense and not as plot heavy as the 2 novels I just recently finished so this was right up my alley for what it was.

4.3/5 <<less

It's written too good for 3 stars but is a bit thin for full 4 stars.

The novel is cute. From the start on ML is very respectful to MC. He remembered MC from a childhood encounter, but MC does not exactly remembered the same way, or better said he does not know that it's the same person.

The whole flow between MC and ML is rather sweet. The focus is about the love story and the healing. A rather short " Beauty and the Beast " Story.

That's also a reason... more>> for the lacking depth. ML should be a Cornel but you won't really see a military side. He is more of a researcher? It feels a bit unclear and is never really an important part. A lot of questions stay unsolved.

So, yeah it's cute to read and the translation is good. Since it is also rather short, it's easy to read. <<less

It's not terrible, but not great either. I mostly felt like there was no point. There's some decent fluff though.

The setting is confusing. I'm guessing the readers are supposed to recognize the setting and world characteristics from a previous novel. Not having read any previous novel, it feels like a random collection of world building that appears exactly when needed to solve problems. Very Deus ex machina.

The relationship dynamics have all sorts of green flags: lots of communication, no misunderstandings, etc... However, the characters seem too self aware. They explain... more>> to each other their emotions and reasons for behavior and no one gets mad or upset. Felt too unrealistic.

There's no point to the story besides the relationship, which made the setting feel really extra. It was basically an excuse to have the presence of the MC
Spoiler

be the medicine that healed the ML, and incredibly quickly, perfectly, no side effects, super fated partners sort of way.

The ML was such a Breath of Fresh air. A Honest, Romantic and Smooth Flirt, but also a Tease, and yet also won't let any misunderstanding happen.

Sure he's flawed, but he's almost perfect and absolutely someone suitable for MC even before knowing about Fated things.

Another joy in this novel is 01 existence. A Silly Cutie Adorkable Shape shifting Robot AI. Don't know I need him until he appear and bring laughter.

But most importantly is MC's development in life and love. How he view his new life experience, and how he... more>> start caring even more toward ML. And how he grow to love him so deeply. And the author didn't even forgot to write how he react when ML truly recover. All those moment was so important and so well written as his Characteristic.

Anyway this Novel brought Joy and Warm. It's So Precious and Heartwarming and Absolutely Lovely story from the start till the end. It's a Relief and Happiness.

I'm Truly Absolutely LOVING IT FOREVER EVERLASTINGLY FOR ETERNITY AND BEYOND! <<less

I have so much fun while reading this. The novel is fast paced, light read with so much fluff. It's also a bit cringy but who cares.😚

This novel is hilarious😂

The C and S in chi sheng's name is "charming" and "shameless". You will know that I mean if you read this. I really love his shamelessness Hahaha! I need to stop myself from laughing out loud last night because my sister is sleeping next to me. It's so hard😭

If you just finished reading a depressing novel, or you're angry and... more>> you need to calm down, here is a story for you to read. O (〃^▽^〃) o <<less

Sweet and simple read. A rare breed of a novel where I actually witnessed a very heartfelt courtship and falling in love period. It’s not often I go away from a novel feeling like I ACTUALLY understand why they love each other and believe it.

Short, sweet and cute read. The angsty part is mostly at the start so after the angst is over, it's mostly quite sweet. I love how the relationship between the MC and ML progressed. It wasn't like a love in first sight between them but gradually as they got to know more about each other.

MC also doesn't excessively seek revenge on those that mistreated him. He was more focused on living his present life well and thought more about his future with the ML. Quite mature. So if you're looking... more>> for revenge and face slapping moments then this might not be very suitable...

But overall a great read. The author did not drag it out for too long though I would love some sweet af extras of the MC and ML. Also I love that the side characters actually have some character. Interesting read!! :> <<less

Sweet story, I kinda like it a Little bit because it's short, not so much hurdle, the plot is simple, entertaining and the main cp is sweet but not too over. The minus is.. I don't understand the setting of this story. Lester and something else, kinda vague because I read this first. I think i'll read another story with same univers with this one after this

It was alright. Not the most interesting, but I enjoyed reading it for a bit.

The one thing that pissed me off was that some of the worldbuilding isn't explained because the author assumes you've read the other works in the shared universe (Offered Into Marriage). I didn't read them because they were not listed as a prequel and because their premises/summaries didn't interest me while this novel's did. I feel like the translator could've warned us at the start about this. I do appreciate the excellent translations and how Chapter... more>> 9's comments have some explanations from the translators of these unfamiliar concepts. I was still confused though, and that didn't help my enjoyment of the novel. <<less

I wish I could give 3 and a half stars. It was alright, if you are looking for something sweet and mostly plotless. I say plotless because any problems the characters have to overcome are so smoothly resolved. There is no tension, no anticipation, no anxiety for what will happen at any point.

The worldbuilding is not very clear, new information about the universe just pops out when it's needed to fix whatever issue just appeared in the previous paragraph. All very convenient and resulting in a lack of a proper... more>> plot.

It's also an incredibly cliché set up - MC saved ML when they were children to explain why ML is so into him from the start. I find that very, very overused. <<less
