So the story starts out with fucking him while he's drunk and unconscious? I guess I can be thankful that at least it was established from the get go what kind of story this would be... I think I should skip this one and just enjoy the little brother's story hoping that that one will stay as wholesome as it is currently.
I do usually enjoy the 'villainess turns new protagonist' plots, but sometimes I think I'd really like a version that is a bit more relatable. Like the mc that transfers into that novel isn't all "oh I know every small plot point and am also really smart about political dynamics, economics and somehow also formal etiquette" and that stuff. I'd love an MC who's like "I have no fucking clue what tf I'm doing here". An MC who had read so many novels that there's no way they'd remember all the relevant details, or might not even remember clearly which novel with which particular plot they transmigrated into. Also, since it's usually a female protagonist, honestly I eeally want a FL that is all "yeah no, I'm not gonna get involved with any of those male characters. They usually always get lowkey (or highkey) obsessive and possessive over their love interest. Got no use for that shit."
And of course I know why the FLs always fail at their attempt to quickly leave high society and live a quiet life somewhere far away. After all that would take away the central plot and suspense, but sometimes I wonder whether it might not be fun to follow a story where this plan does actually work out after all.
So in other words I kinda crave to see how a painfully average character somehow manages to survive, as opposed to being some hidden gifted genius
Is it the translation or is the plot a mess? The novel's mc was into the villain and then froze overthe country, but then it's gonna be his nephews who're gonna fall for her later? Florine predicted a flood on the battlefield, but then it's an ambush instead? I'm so lost
Sorry it's vague but maybe it rings a bell for someone.
Not sure if it was MLM, WLW or a straight story but I remember three points
1. the main character was a transfer and apparently was kind of tired of trying to make new friends everytime, so they just kept their social interactions superficial
2. I think that also involved them always smiling or something (i think in my memory they were also portrayed as quite the pretty face, but I'm not sure)
3. And unless I mixed things up I think the romantic lead was bothered by that at the beginning. Maybe even called it a "fake smile" or something.
What stuck with me was mostly just this plot trope: the protagonist having been an outcast repeatedly due to repeated transfers and thus having given up on meaningful friendships
Even if this is a trope in several stories, maybe reading similar stories like the one I remember might be nice, too. So thanks in advance if anybody can think of one.
(Kind of a cinderella plot I think?)
Only remember the vague storyline:
FL breaks out from some noble's home with I believe two children, where the head of the house is abusive (particularly abusing the two children for their magical abilities I believe). I don't remember FL's connection. Maybe she was a maid or family, idk.
On the run eventually one of the kids gets sick, so they need to settle down in a town and FL needs to find work to cover the costs, gets scammed by AH doctors etc., until she by chance gets help from another noble(definitely higher status than the previous noble)'s doctor and also runs into that dude at her future work place, which was sth. about examining gem stones I believe. So something magic related. It was pretty obvious that that noble was interested in her (maybe he even tried to recruit her?) but I don't remember how the story continued after that.
I also can't remember if this was some kind of regression or transmigration story or not.
1. MC had a secret crush in High School but surprisingly met his crush again in college. He also becomes a money-spender when drunk, I believe.
2. MC can predict the future, I believe through dreams, and creates a misunderstanding thanks to a car accident the he had a vision of, making the lead think MC is actually trying to flirt, rather than prevent the car accident.

Ngl, I'm a little disappointed how they handled the temporary fall-out.
Like really, because Suou isn't ready to immediately jump from barely coming to terms with his feelings to s*x? Come-on not everyone is immediately under the sheets when developing a romantic relationship. I definitely wouldn't be. Not even with my crush whom I'd openly pursue for a relationship. There are other ways to prove your love besides that.
I'm a huge fan of the angst and was totally on Ryou's side until that point, but I really found it icky that he tried to pressure and guilt-trip him into something like that. If the author wanted to express that Suou was still not ready to open up, and was in fact still running away, they could have used other means to convey that, cuz it didn't get across to me like that at all, just like Ryou didn't give Suou any tim to process things, then assumed things and unfairly pressured him. Also made it seem like in the end their first time wasn't happening due to steaming chemistry and mutually feeling in the mood but only because they had to do it to prove a point.
