I Played a Female Character, and Now an NPC Is Forcing Me to Marry Them

Less melodrama and unnecessary evil god settings are completely unnecessary. A straightforward story of the male and female leads recognizing each other, enjoying sweet moments, and building the nation would be far better than adding a bunch of angels and evil gods later on.

In the end, it turns out that all the female lead's hardships were for nothing; the problems were solved entirely by the male lead's miraculous intervention.

I've read about forty volumes... This male protagonist truly leaves me speechless. He orders his subordinates to attack a neighboring country's border for two paintings, directly sabotaging the nation's strategy... And there are also many instances where the author tries to portray him as cool but is actually incredibly stupid, resorting to forced smear campaigns and whitewashing... I honestly don't understand how this empire rose to power with such idiotic characters.

This review was written from memory after reading up to chapter 140 of volume 3 in one day, so please forgive any plot errors. Only after finishing it did I realize this review was mainly nitpicking, and the wording might be a bit harsh, as reading it in one go left me feeling quite frustrated. If the author sees this, please don't take it too personally. Personally, I'd give the first volume, before the defense of the capital, a score of 9 or higher. Although the handling of the male and female leads' first and only close encounter was rather poorly considered, and there are some minor plot holes, it's a game-themed isekai novel, so logical perfection and rigorous settings aren't the most important things; the plot is paramount. Honestly...

For those who might find this offensive, I don't recommend reading this book in general. It's filled with nothing but torture for the male lead and theoretical knowledge that the author finds interesting and engaging. Furthermore, it deviates drastically from its original theme in the later stages. Therefore, I do not recommend anyone read this work that offers absolutely no real romance. I strongly demand that the author refund the points I spent on the terrible later episodes.

The beginning was good, but it fell apart after Ada faked her death.

I've reached chapters 70-80 of Volume 3, and my feelings are mixed. To put it simply, it feels like there's shit hidden in a cake. Volume 1 was fine, but it started to rot from Volume 2 onwards. The first volume, which focused on the relationships between nations, was quite good, but then it became indescribable. Couldn't they just focus on the nations? Why not have the female lead lead her country to rise and provide some sweet moments? Why introduce this evil god? The previous class system is completely ruined... The prequel to Volume 2 is also very distracting.

The more exciting the beginning, the more disappointing the end. The world-building and settings, which seem grand at first glance, are actually a burden on the book. They should have just focused on writing a good story about the AD transmigration, removing all the unnecessary details and developing a strong interaction between the male and female leads. There was no need for so many extraneous settings; ultimately, they couldn't control the narrative, resulting in a nonsensical and anticlimactic ending.

I've read up to chapters 70 or 80 of volume 3 and they still haven't let the male and female leads recognize each other. They're just forcing the plot forward! Isn't the point of reading about a marriage of convenience to get some sweet moments? This is disgusting. I don't know if the author ran out of ideas after finishing volume 1 or what. As for why I'm still reading volume 3, I just thought volume 1 was great and subscribed to the whole thing. Now I'm being forced to finish this garbage. All I want to say is, in the future, subscribe to stories chapter by chapter; otherwise, you won't be able to escape!

There wasn't a single sweet moment or interaction between the male and female leads in the third volume, so what was the point of reading "The Transformation"? If you can't write a romance plot, at least add some eroticism, something suggestive or borderline, or even just love blossoming from eroticism. After reading a volume titled "Eren Tateka," the protagonist was tormented by the plot, and the ending would have been better if he had just wiped out the whole world.
