You know, after thinking back again. The Synopsis both accurately tells what the story is about but also underwhelming. It's like, the author's arrogance on display as if they think they did something unique but also, there's a meta that I wish was expressed in the synopsis. Like it was thought by the MC since it fits the MC's arrogance too.
That's exactly why I gave up on reading summaries lol
I've read so many of them that they all sound the same to me so... I go straight to the first chapter and hope for the best
"But what would happen if a useless person reincarnated as the female lead of a harem story?"
Isn't that like... every other story? Like there's no middle ground here when it comes to shoujo mangas/manhwa/manhua. Either you have the beginning of the synopsis where the MC has special skills and/or smart (having skills and being smart isn't linked together all the time tbh). If the MC doesn't have a special skill, then by default, the MC would most likely be dumb and stupid but managed to survive by series of extremely fortunate events. I will say, once in a blue moon we have a smart MC who doesn't have a special skill but she usually gains one later in the story (which then goes down the drain). By default, the MCs are usually dumb/useless in some capacity for entertainment's sake.
In short- this synopsis isn't really... a flex... I much rather have an actual synopsis of what the story is really about. Not this hype the author is trying to put out to make her rather cliched story stand out from the rest.
(And I should quickly say there's a difference between the "smart" an author shoves down the audience's throat and a well-written MC who is smart. I know it's common for Chinese manhua with their revenge reincarnation but that camp is divided by this.)
