Description
“…I’m screwed.” On a normal day like any other, Duchess Juliana Auburn woke up from a dream. No, rather, it is I, “Lee Sian,” who remembered my past life. Juliana Auburn was a character in a novel who did nothing but badmouth and find fault with her husband, his friends, and her own father who had forced her to marry an illegitimate man. According to a spoiler comment that I read, she will be killed at the start of the novel. “Why did I only remember everything now after I’ve already done all of those bad things to the male lead?!” In order to avoid the novel’s “bad ending,” Juliana plans to divorce her husband, Evan, the male lead…. “I’ll give you everything you want.” “Don’t you know that the one who falls in love first loses?” “Why should I apologize for staring at you because you’re so pretty?” …Isn’t my husband’s obsession more serious than I thought?

My Thoughts on How to Divorce the Male Lead
"How to Divorce the Male Lead" definitely grabbed my attention with its premise: a villainess, armed with future knowledge, attempts to avoid her demise by, well, divorcing the male lead. It's a concept ripe with comedic potential, and the shoujo and romance tags sealed the deal for me.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the idea of a protagonist who isn't necessarily striving for moral perfection, but rather self-preservation. We're introduced to Juliana, who, after regaining memories of a past life where she read the novel her current life is based on, realizes she's destined for a grim end. Her solution? To become so unbearable that her husband, Evan, will grant her a divorce.
What Works Well
The humor is definitely a strong point. The story revels in the absurdity of Juliana's attempts to sabotage her marriage, and Evan's unwavering devotion, despite her actions, adds another layer of amusement. I can see why so many readers are drawn to the doting male lead and the promise of a fluffy, entertaining romance. The translation also seems to be well-received, with many mentioning its smooth and understandable quality. The appeal of a morally gray protagonist is also something that's been highlighted by some readers. It's a refreshing change from the typical "goody-two-shoes" main character.
Areas of Concern
However, I can also understand the concerns raised by some readers regarding Juliana's character. While I appreciate the idea of a flawed protagonist, the execution seems to have missed the mark for some. The criticism is that she comes across as childish and irrational, making it difficult to sympathize with her. Her methods for obtaining a divorce, while intended to be comedic, can be repetitive and even emotionally abusive towards Evan. This, in turn, makes it hard to root for her and the relationship. There are also some concerns about the development of the plot. Some readers found it confusing and lacking in depth, particularly in the way Juliana and Evan's relationship evolves (or, rather, doesn't).

Final Verdict
"How to Divorce the Male Lead" has potential, particularly for those who enjoy villainess stories and aren't necessarily looking for a perfectly moral protagonist. The doting male lead and comedic situations offer entertainment value. However, the execution of Juliana's character and the plot's development may not appeal to all readers. It's a story that seems to divide opinions, so I'd recommend giving it a try to see if it aligns with your personal preferences.
