Revenge plot is interesting and I'm invested but ML is really boring and shitty with the sexual harassment and harsh attitude I don't find him charming and am not amused by him also the "kissing the foot tradition" thing was weird for the writer to add and feels like fetish bait. The FL feels like she's both infantilsed and also like she's being set up for girl bossing like she's babied by everyone except when it's about sex. Emotional complexity and nuance is thrown away in this revenge story in exchange for your regular one dimensional villains but they introduce so many of them and all of them have dark hair so it makes it confusing as all hell to tell the difference between the evil sister in law, evil stepmother, evil stepfather, evil mother in law, evil mistress and evil husband plus the plot moves really fast so they aren't established all too well. Plus the "ML giving mindblowing sex to FL" is overdone make him bad at sex or OK at sex and not hyperbolicly good at it because everyone has different tastes and "being good at sex" is about decent communication ( The Private Report on My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness was a manga that handled it really well) and these two have none of that for fucks sake she can't even tell when he's joking and is uncomfortable around him (also they do that thing where they bluntly state that the ML is hot because artist can't draw that plus it's used as an excuse for ML to be shitty) all their interactions feel so awkward and stilted and are so uncomfortable to read that I just wanna speed through them but I know that there's plot stuff there but I just want it to be over already but he keeps coming back.
TLDR: I hate shitty sexually harassment ML who "respects women" and I want a new one (perhaps a himbo) because I can't take it anymore.
