I Failed to Divorce My Husband Novel Review

My Thoughts on I Failed to Divorce My Husband

"I Failed to Divorce My Husband" is quite the ride! Diving into this novel, I found myself charmed by its premise, a blend of comedy, drama, and fantasy romance that promised a heartwarming, if slightly unconventional, story.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the 'cute' factor that many readers highlighted. The interactions between the main characters, particularly the female lead's (FL) attempts to help the male lead (ML) overcome his trauma, seemed genuinely sweet. The idea of a proactive FL trying to resolve family misunderstandings, rather than just passively accepting them, felt refreshing.

What Works Well

The novel's strength lies in its exploration of the ML's past abuse and the FL's efforts to heal him. The slow burn of their relationship, built on trust and understanding, resonated with me. The FL's cleverness and the ML's inherent goodness create a dynamic that's easy to root for. Many seem to enjoy the 'fluffy' scenes and the satisfying feeling of watching the FL change the family dynamics for the better. The initial chapters, focused on building their bond, are definitely a highlight. I also appreciated the proactive approach to problem-solving, avoiding unnecessary angst for the sake of extending the story.

Areas of Concern

However, as I delved deeper, I encountered some issues that gave me pause. The FL's actions can sometimes feel contradictory, leading to frustrating misunderstandings. There's a certain "high school teacher" vibe that some readers picked up on, stemming from the age dynamic, which made me slightly uncomfortable at times. The lack of a clear antagonist also seemed to detract from the overall plot for some, leading to a feeling that the story stagnates after a while. Some felt that important plot points were skipped over, and some character actions were told and not shown, which is a real shame.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Failed to Divorce My Husband" is a mixed bag. While the initial premise and the focus on healing and relationship-building are undeniably appealing, the plot inconsistencies and character flaws can be frustrating. If you're looking for a lighthearted, fluffy read with a strong emphasis on character interactions, this might be worth checking out. However, be prepared for some potential plot holes and character inconsistencies along the way. I'd give it a tentative 3.5 out of 5 stars.
