An Ordinary Joe in a Woman-Dominated World

Honestly, as consumers, what we need is respect. We'll naturally point out any problems with the article. Whether you want to revise it or not is your choice, but commenting is our freedom. Deleting comments out of concern for ratings—I don't know who started this trend, but today I'm going to be a champion. You can call me naive, call me stupid, think it's unnecessary, or whatever. But I'm going to do it! The issue is simply that a certain plot point was unpleasant, and I suggested changing a few words to make the illogical plot seem more reasonable, but the author thought I was also an author and that this might be disruptive, so they deleted my comment. Is it possible that precisely because I am...

It gets uglier the more I write.

Personally, I think the older sister wasn't well-developed from the start. Sigh, the way the male lead was treated in the family at the beginning, the older sister seemed to accept it. The first time she paid attention to the male lead was by asking him to cook, and she was a bit chauvinistic, giving the impression of having no compassion. She was just like a cold and indifferent passerby character in some novels, which I didn't really like.

Please, I beg you, stop describing appearances so much! I really don't want to read about male leads with big, curvy butts or ordinary men wearing nail polish and lipstick. It's not just the male lead who can't stand it, the readers can't either.

It's quite well-written, a decent female-dominated novel. At least the male lead isn't portrayed as overly effeminate; most female-dominated novels on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform) have male leads who are practically feminine. The interesting thing about female-dominated novels is seeing the male lead living with realistic ideas in a matriarchal world, but many are simply written with male leads who are more effeminate than women, which is quite off-putting. This one handles it well; the male lead has normal thoughts, his own ambitions, and a bit of male chauvinism. The clash between these traits and the matriarchal world is quite interesting. Hopefully, the sequels will maintain this level of effeminacy and avoid making the protagonist too effeminate. (After reading female-dominated novels on Tomato...)

Forgive my bluntness, but breaking up would be a mistake. What reason could they give for breaking up? To portray him as a scumbag? He started a relationship and then abandoned it? Besides, I don't like this older sister either. The whole family makes me uncomfortable; they're quite selfish. If someone isn't pretty, they treat them like servants; if someone is pretty, they start forcing and scheming. I really can't support the older sister. At least the woman at the snack shop, Sister Ye, is more agreeable. She hasn't treated the male lead coldly at all, and is currently the woman with the best relationship with him.

The girlfriend is portrayed as lacking in charm; her only advantage is that she's more pleasing to the eye than other female characters. The main reason for this is probably her blandness and lack of standout qualities.

The portrayal of the current girlfriend felt off; she was too ordinary. The male lead's attraction to her seemed purely based on her looks. Ultimately, I think the author failed to develop the current girlfriend's character well, unless it was intentional. Was it to make the other female leads shine?

I just want to complain, can't you use harem or slut tags? I can't stand this kind of protagonist who can sleep with anyone.

The female-dominated novel is well-written. The male lead is opinionated but not domineering. At first, I was worried that his growth would be too fast due to the system's boost, but as the plot progressed, the system's involvement decreased. Many comments about him almost being a "near miss" are quite funny. It's a female-dominated harem novel with a strong female lead and a weak male lead; why would someone expect a domineering CEO as the male lead? That's really nitpicking. The idea of a girlfriend going from a street vendor to a rich woman is indeed ideal; isn't that a wish-fulfillment story? Starting as a rich woman is fine, but becoming rich is just as good, isn't it?
