My Thoughts on After Connecting the Villainess and the Male Lead from the Original Story
"After Connecting the Villainess and the Male Lead from the Original Story" promised a fun twist on the typical reincarnation isekai, and while it had its moments, I walked away with mixed feelings. The premise itself is intriguing, setting the stage for what could be a clever subversion of genre tropes.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked by the idea of a protagonist who befriends the villainess and actively tries to change the original story's plot. It's a refreshing change from the usual "become the villainess" narrative. The early chapters were promising, establishing the FL's unique position and the potential for interesting dynamics.
What Works Well
The male lead is definitely a highlight. He's portrayed as a genuinely good guy, supportive and reliable despite his young age and ducal responsibilities. I appreciated that he wasn't the typical "red flag" ML often found in these stories. His devotion to the female lead is clear, and his actions consistently demonstrate his care for her. The dynamic between the FL and the villainess is also enjoyable, offering a refreshing take on female friendships in this genre.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the female lead herself became a source of frustration for me. While the initial concept of her character was appealing, her actions and motivations often felt illogical and contrived. Her tendency to overthink and create problems where none exist, particularly in regards to the ML, was a major drawback. I found myself constantly questioning her decisions, especially her attempts to push the ML towards the original heroine despite his obvious feelings for her. Her behavior often came across as childish and self-centered, overshadowing the positive aspects of the story. I found her inability to communicate openly with the ML, especially when it came to her own insecurities, to be incredibly frustrating. A simple conversation could have resolved many of the issues she created, but instead, she chose to complicate matters unnecessarily.

Final Verdict
Overall, "After Connecting the Villainess and the Male Lead from the Original Story" has potential, but the execution falls short due to the frustrating nature of the female lead. While the ML and the villainess offer compelling aspects, the FL's illogical actions and overthinking ultimately detract from the overall enjoyment of the story. I'd say it's a decent read if you're willing to overlook the FL's flaws, but be prepared for moments of frustration.
