Description

Ilyin, who could dream predictive dreams, dreamt of spending her first night with the Duke of Biflten. ‘Am I going to marry the Duke of Biflten?’ The notorious duke was known to stiffen one’s body when one’s eye meets his. Besides, he’s a madman whose sword is faster than words. “You can leave this mansion whenever you want.” In the dark night, the Duke of Biflten whispered. Contrary to rumors, he was kind. But he never showed his face. So then Ilyin, after spending ten nights with him, asked. “Does one really become stiff when looking into your eyes?”“No.”“Then can you show me your face?”“Of course.” It was easier than she had thought. But the faceless husband was silent for a moment. Then, he whispered in a sweet, low voice, like the devil. “But you have to make a promise.”“What is it?”“If you look at me, you’ll never be able to leave this castle again, Ilyin.” ‘I don’t want to leave you either.’ “So if you want to run, run now.” Despite his voice having no emotions, there was a strong hint of obsession.

My Thoughts on How to Survive as the Wife of The Monster Duke

"How to Survive as the Wife of The Monster Duke" definitely grabbed my attention, and after diving in, I can see why so many readers are enjoying it. It's got that addictive blend of fantasy, romance, and a dash of spice that keeps you turning the page.

First Impressions

The premise is immediately intriguing: a proactive female lead with foresight navigating a marriage with a "monster" duke. I was hooked from the start, especially knowing that the initial chapters establish Ilyin as a smart and capable woman who doesn't just wallow in her circumstances. The early interactions are promising, and I was eager to see the relationship between Ilyin and Aden develop.

What Works Well

The biggest draw for me is the well-developed characters and the refreshing lack of frustrating misunderstandings. Ilyin's intelligence and ability to handle situations are a huge plus. The male lead, Aden, is portrayed as a caring, powerful, and gentle figure, which subverts the typical "monster" trope.

The plot is also engaging, with the conflict between the Delrose family and other nobles, as well as the mysteries surrounding Ilyin's powers, adding depth to the story. And let's not forget the smut! From what I've read, it's consensual, satisfying, and well-integrated into the narrative, enhancing the romance without feeling gratuitous.

Areas of Concern

While I'm mostly positive about the novel, I do have some minor reservations. One reader found the smut to be "plain" and didn't connect with the male lead's personality, finding his constant smiling during intimate moments off-putting. While this seems to be a minority opinion, it's worth noting that not everyone will find the characters equally appealing. Also, the translation is not yet complete, and the series is much longer than it initially appears. This could be a drawback for readers who prefer finished stories.

Final Verdict

Overall, I'm thoroughly enjoying "How to Survive as the Wife of The Monster Duke." The strong female lead, intriguing plot, and satisfying romance make it a worthwhile read. Despite some minor criticisms, the novel's strengths far outweigh its weaknesses. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fantasy romance with a good balance of plot and character development.
