But only the male supporting character, who had a disability, stayed by her side and guarded her silently.

She would change her ways to placate him and she would caress his ugly legs with her hands. Her beautiful eyes were full of distressed expressions. The man’s hand on the armrest of the wheelchair clenched into a fist, and he covered his ugly legs tightly with a quilt because of his low self-esteem. Until one day, the male supporting character couldn’t control it. He lowered his head and kissed the girl in front of him and the legs under his body suddenly turned into a half fishtail.

My Thoughts on After I Stole The Male Lead, The Female Lead Cried

This web novel certainly grabbed my attention with its intriguing title, and after diving in, I found it to be a mixed bag of sweet fluff and frustrating tropes. While it definitely has its charms, some aspects left me wanting more.

First Impressions

Initially, I was hooked by the premise of a cannon fodder character stealing the male lead from the original female lead, especially when I discovered the male lead was actually the villain! It felt like a fresh take on the typical transmigration story. The early chapters were cute, with a dominant female lead pursuing a more reserved male lead. I was definitely enjoying the dynamic and the pacing of their relationship.

What Works Well

The romance, when it hits right, is genuinely heartwarming. The female lead's boldness and initiative in pursuing the male lead are refreshing. I really appreciated that she wasn't a damsel in distress. I also found the concept of the female lead traveling back in time to help the male lead deal with his past grievances to be quite compelling. The author definitely knows how to write sweet and fluffy scenes, and when the story focuses on the leads' connection, it shines. Many readers praised the author's writing style. I did not find many grammatical errors and the translation was well done.

Areas of Concern

However, the novel does stumble in a few key areas. The female lead is repeatedly described as beautiful, fair, and having milky white skin. Honestly, after a while, it became excessive and distracting. I also felt that the villainess was not well-developed and that the plot became somewhat repetitive and predictable, especially when it comes to the male lead's supposed "inferiority complex" due to his disability.

I'd recommend it with reservations; it's enjoyable in parts, but not without its flaws.
