I don't like the ML. I think he's a typical cookie cutter possessive male lead who shud go...

But wow im probably going to get a lot of hate for this comment tho ┗( T﹏T )┛

no hate, but u can block me if u want. just wanted to share my opinion. tbh i dont think the lead couple are typical cookie cutters. just looking at their expressions really get me lol. especially when the male lead was like “oh so this is advice from a forever alone” and when the fl said fk instead of crying lmaoo i love all the characters here sm except that bitch edith ofc

Well i only meant that i thought THE MALE LEAD was a cookie cutter, other than that, i love the main character and all the other characters, just the ML is my main problem. I also agree that everyone's facial expressions are hilarious lol. Thank u for sharing your opinion, have a nice dayヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

But that's the point? That's his starting point. She is in a book. We just gotta see him grow from here on as he interact with FL more

Well we'll have to see about that as we read more ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I just hope he actually learns to respect her genuinely

Lol, I think OP meant "change my mind" as a challenge to others who think differently.

yea, but i also dont think hes cookie cutter at all. usually from these reincarnation stories the male lead is mean to the female lead in the beginning and ends up falling for her bc shes different. but he just had a one night stand with her and is taking responsibility for it. honestly i think they are fit for each other. i would explain it better but im not good at saying stuff. and thank you! i hope u have a nice day too. its very cold where i am though

I didn't really change my mind. It's called being "respectful," of other people's opinions. Also, of COURSE I'M SCARED. Do u know how scary and snarky and JUDGING people can get in the comments just because you don't share the same opinion as them? Ugh, when i think of all those times in the past where i got caught up in debates and hate comments, it makes me shudder ┗( T﹏T )┛

Okay, I'll see if I can "change your mind", lol.
I totally get you as for the stalkerish part, but the reason I don't exactly dislike it is because this story at least suggests he also has a "good excuse", or at least to me it looked like he does: the need to find out whether she's a spy or not... And once that one excuse gets old, he goes and actually tries to make up another one (the other excuse he fed her in the forest, where he said he just needs her as his "fake date" in order to gain access to the palace and look for some hypothetical, valuable something...). We can all guess he probably fed her a lot of crap with that, right then, just so that he could have an excuse and persuade her to let him continue seeing her, but at least he didn't resort to the usual bullshit logic (of "I fell for you so now you have no choice but to be mine, just because I say so...") that we see in other possessive mls... He's just vying for time to get the chance win her over, and even if I don't like the fact that he's lying to her in order to gain that time, at least it's with a pretty harmless lie ("There's something I need to look for thorougly inside the palace"... Like, really? Mc, you actually BELIEVED that bull?!?) and the fact that he does something that hints that he actually wants to win her over, instead of forcing her to do anything, is a plus in comparison, at least in my book.

Just in case, if you think the "she might be a spy" excuse is not a good one, here's why I think it is, though:

This guy Ares is just back from a *war*, ...and he's a high commander. Protecting army secrets and national security is a default for him, enough to make it a necessity for him to act least "look", in front of his army subordinates, like he's "appropriately cautious" (*cough* more like "appropriately paranoid" *cough*) and this also serves to give him a legit "excuse" to them as for why he's suddenly chasing after a girl that "stood him up /dumped him", without having to "lose face" by admiting it to them that he actually likes the woman (and yeah, they all clearly know, already, that that's the real reason... but probably go along with his "excuse" because, well, they respect his need to uphold his manly pride, as fellow males who also have their own manly pride to protect, and on top of that he's their superior and they'd want to "get along" with him) . So... even if we readers already know that the "spy" excuse isn't the real reason why he's chasing her, how can he *not* at least try to look as if he's trying to chase her, in front of his subordinates? ...They all saw or heard of Ares and Lancelot, two top dogs of the winning army, suddenly being tracked down by this virgin girl in aristocratic clothes, who comes and wastes her virginity on a causal encounter (in an era were noble women were NOT allowed to do that) and all this only for the girl to suddenly disappear without a trace right after, and reappear again later with *another* soldier from their army, and even *threatening* him... So, to Ares' subornidates, who have not interacted much with this girl, how could this not doesn't make her sound like a spy trying to get information, or like a spy trying to cover her tracks? And with their impression being like that, if Ares did NOT chase after her, after all of them seeing or hearing of all that odd and suspicious behavior, they may start wonder why their usually reliable commander is not attempting to investigate this further.

this was said very well! :)

Gosh!!! I am sending you some hugs and pats...

I dont like him either, its like even though the female lead is strong, she cant beat him, and its annoying (perhaps the only time i liked it was when she fooled him with how he was pressing on her stomach hurting the baby, and he immediately backed off)

U should try physically strong female MC tag here. Also a pointer that the tag strong female does not mean physical strength only. It can mean mentally strong and badass too . And skill does not need to be muscle strength only always.

No i meant it in a way that he is the typical male lead, that everything will go his way even if the girl doesnt want it that way but just always gives in in the end.

I didnt mean physical strength.

Me too, its like in almost every story, the girl talks about how she does not agree and goes against something but its ALWAYS just all for nothing, and just goes along with whatever, like she forgot she ever resisted, like that part of the comic was a waste of time.

I KNOW RIGHT??? I FYCKING HATE THAT ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
LIKE WHY?! WHY CAN'T THERE BE ONE FRICKING ASS STORY WHERE THE MAIN CHARACTER DOESN'T ALWAYS FALL FOR THE MALE LEAD'S CREEPY ASS PURSUING CHARMS?!
AND NO, I'M NOT SAYING THAT ARES IS CREEPY, BUT I JUST HATE THAT HE'S PURSUING HER EVEN THO SHE CLEARLY DOESN'T WANT HIM TO
*takes in a deep breath*
I'm sorry for scream capping u, but i get really frustrated and riled up whenever i talk about this shit

YEPPP me too, and it IS really infuriating, its like you read about how she protests for life but in the end the guy snaps his fingers and voila the girl is melting....ughh

Ugh ikr and it makes u wanna shake the mc's shoulders like crazy and be like, "BITCH WHERE IS YOUR FREAKING RESOLVE?!! DIDN'T U HATE HIM??? DID YOUR STRONG FEMALE LEAD PERSONALITY FLY WITH THE FUCKING WIND OR SOMETHING??? WHO CARES IF HE HAS SEXY ABS?!!!!!! (╬￣皿￣)凸
