Well, the beginning of this book was excellent, with a very engaging plot. However, it started to go awry after chapter 100, especially with the increasing number of girl groups and female actors appearing in the story, all in ambiguous or borderline romantic relationships. The interactions between the male and female leads also began to veer into melodramatic clichés.
The synopsis says it has only one female lead, but the main story involves her having ambiguous relationships with many women. I find this kind of thing disgusting; it's so despicable.
This book is actually quite well-written, better than most. The main problem is that while it follows a pure harem multi-female lead formula and template—saving one, stealing kisses, accidental kisses, etc.—It only flirts and never actually leads. It also insists on a single female lead, but the female lead's screen time is limited and there's hardly any romance. She's even less likable than Seohyun and Jessica. I can accept either a single female lead or a harem, but this is a bit unsettling.
Is this still a single-female-lead story? There are four or five ambiguous relationships in over 100 chapters, even involving twin sisters. The synopsis needs changing. If it really is a single-female-lead story, it won't be able to end well later. The whole thing is angsty and ruins the mood. I can't read it without changing the formula.
A rare gem among Korean entertainment novels featuring a single female lead; author, please update soon!
Crystal
I'm really looking for a novel with Taeyeon as the female lead lately. Any recommendations? I don't mind older books, angst-worthy stories, or even angst, as long as Taeyeon is in it.
Trying to please everyone will only lead to failure.
Crystal, the female lead in the open card game However, it is narrated by multiple female protagonists, and their appearances are quite evenly distributed. I am not familiar with public institutions, so I cannot comment on it. I can only say that she is indeed worthy of being a leader.
I've heard this book involves multiple romantic relationships, yet it's a single-female protagonist story, which has made me hesitant to read it. 😅
The female lead is among these few; you can guess who she is. 😏
