I Caught the Male Lead on a Deserted Island

Description

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

I have been living alone on a deserted island for two years.

However, one day, a man was caught on my fishing rod.

[???] -Caught on the fifth year, spring, day 8.

-Length: 183cm, weight: 74kg.

With his striking silver hair and incredibly handsome appearance, this man somehow ended up being recorded in my fish catalog. And as it turned out, he was none other than the male lead (a bad guy) from a novel I liked.

However, despite his charming smile, polite demeanor, and seemingly shy nature, I quickly saw through his act. I politely attempted to send him away, not wanting to get entangled with him.

“No, I won’t go. You just let me live freely, and now you want to kick me out? Take responsibility.”

“W-Well, I mean… I’ll take responsibility and send you back, okay?”

“Ah, I made a mistake. I meant to say that since you saved me, I’ll take responsibility and repay the favor. Even though I may look like this, I’m skilled in physical work. Please give me any task.”

He keeps insisting on taking responsibility and staying by my side.

Oh no, no.

I don’t need you to repay any favors, so please leave! I don’t want to get involved with you!

i really like this one! The main setting feels like Stardew Valley mixed in with a bit of ACNH lol (esp with the game-y aspects thrown in). It's definitely mainly a feel good healing story, but the bits of backstory we get from both ML and FL are both great to learn about. Their dynamic is fun too! Love me some cottagecore farm healing

I've been enjoying the story so far! It's quite different from other novels where the MC transmigrates into a character in a book.

... more>>
Spoiler

She (Yuri) quite literally wakes up one day on a magical island where she resides alone and eventually levels up to be very strong as she navigates the island. It's very reminiscent of a video game since she has quests to complete and she can gain more skills the more she levels up. She only realizes that she's in a book when she finds the ML (Rael) stranded on her island as well. We also find out later in the story that Rael can also see these game windows and that he also has quests to complete. Chapter 38-39 is where we get the synopsis.

I'm actually hoping we get to see more of their interactions on the island for a while since we now know that Rael can also see the game windows (and evidently Yuri's thoughts as well). He's already quite attached to Yuri and Yuri is somewhat aware of it—she's just not sure to what extent and she's desperately hoping that it doesn't turn into obsession. Although, I have a sneaking suspicion that they won't be the only two on the island anymore since Yuri gained an item that can summon a person to them.

Can't wait to see more interactions between the MC and ML and how they develop into a romantic relationship! <<less

This is a trauma recovery story disguised as a cutesy game transmigration story. There are a lot of Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing parallels.

I really liked the beginning, but the male lead has gone through a ridiculous amount of trauma. Like so much trauma, it seems almost silly or perhaps even tongue-in-cheek. I’m not sure whether to take it seriously.

The FL is extremely passive and non-confrontational, but there are some interesting events (that I don’t want to spoil) that help with this.

I do like the game aspect of the world... more>> they are in, but around chapter 40 I was craving more action, and the action we got was not what I really wanted.

It was just a visitor and an annoying quest.

Not a lot has happened in the 56 chapters I’ve read. It’s a very slow paced novel and there there aren’t a lot of introspection and revelations to make up for the lack of action. It’s just another day on the island, some conversations here and there, and feeding the animals. More trauma dump. Some annoying fairies causing mischief.

I sure hope it gets better. <<less
