Something's Off About My Broken Engagement Plot

I couldn't relate to the story; I felt only the female lead could relate to. She held all the power, completely manipulating the male lead, making him seem pathetic and naturally evoking my dislike. This "gold digger" dynamic was unpleasant.

The selling point was supposed to be its subversion of tropes and its departure from established trends, but the female lead only appeared for a few chapters before disappearing, and the later academy storyline was a complete failure.

I came to see how the male lead lives off the female lead and flaunts their love, not to see a male lead who's an overpowered genius leveling up in an academy.

Hmm~ You'll know where your problem lies if you read the comments. This book is positioned as a "soft rice novel" (a story about a woman living off a man), the female lead only appears in the first dozen or so chapters, and the last twenty or thirty chapters are all about the academy, and the plot is still very cliché.

This is a classic case of false advertising. It's already over 200,000 words, and the female lead has less screen time than some of the supporting characters.

There was only one interesting part at the beginning, but after the female lead left, the protagonist got into all sorts of trouble. Does that have anything to do with the title? Seriously, it's all just a bunch of rambling, diary-like stuff. He can't even cultivate, so all that time he spent at the academy was just padding the word count for no real purpose.

The first chapter was okay, but when I saw that the system wasn't with the male protagonist, I knew I was in trouble.

It's a case of false advertising; the female lead has very little screen time and basically disappears after the beginning.

Is it appropriate for female-oriented novels to appear in male-oriented potential novels?

I originally wrote a very long post, but I'm not going to post it now. After all, the author just wrote this book for fun. If you're only reading it because of the title, just scroll past it. You might as well read a normal fantasy book instead of this one.
