Is it kind of generic? Yeah. But it’s done WELL. Like the FL isn’t stupid and when they call her clever it isn’t a protagonist buff for everything to go well, like she’s ACTUALLY smart and made good, well -thought out plans that work because they’re NOT RELYING ON EVERYTHING TO GO PERFECTLY. It’s the little things. Like WE know she’s the real one, but it’s good that she ALSO had this suspicion from
The beginning and was looking into it for proof. Her older sister too, like it makes sense she wasn’t good at managing an estate in the OG novel when there was zero parents to teach her and literally no information on where to begin. But she’s competent when she’s taught, which again, makes sense because she ACTUALLY LEARNED SOMETHING, not like magically received information and now she’s a genius. Chemistry between the ML and FL is good too; is he still a little fucked in the head? Yeah. But does he acknowledge this and try to do everything to woo her because he’s in love with her and doesn’t force her into anything is literally just honest with her the whole time? YES. Who cares if he’s a bit obsessive when he treats her like he WANTS her to be his life partner and supports her and lets her do what she wants? He’s not obsessed; he’s in love. And that’s what I love about this too. Also, even if she knows he likes her it’s valid that she doesn’t know he’s in love with her, when she hasn’t seen him in so long and they JUST reunited. Also the pacing. Thank GOD I don’t have to read 48 chapters of random drama-filler and internal crisis, like thank FUCK.
