Description

Before the original story begins, I reincarnated as a lowly noble burdened with debt. I managed to survive by selling bits of information to an underground guild, but even that has its limits. However, as the story is about to start, I know that the villain’s family is looking for a fake contract daughter-in-law to pretend to be pregnant to delay the death declaration of their missing eldest son. If I take on that role for just a few months, I could earn a lot of money. I was planning to live quietly as a dutiful fake daughter-in-law… “If you stay here, I’ll give you all of Ekian’s inheritance.” But the Duke, my father-in-law, likes me too much. “Why solve everything with money? How about adopting her and remarrying her?” The Duchess, my mother-in-law, wants to mess up the family registry. “You did marry my brother, right? You won’t leave if he comes back, right?” Even my brother-in-law, the villain of the original story, clings to me! Meanwhile… “They said after a while, they’ll divorce me and find me a good remarriage prospect personally.” “…Remarriage? You mean to marry again?” The head of the information guild, whom I used to sell information to, is acting strangely. “That husband… he might come back.” What nonsense is this? According to the original story, the eldest son of the villain’s family remains missing. *** “E-Ekian? Is that you, Ekian?” “You… you are back? Really?” Impossible. The eldest son of this house is never supposed to return! “Yes.” Who is this handsome man confidently walking into the mansion? “I heard I got married. Where’s my wife?” What? I suddenly have a super handsome husband!

My Thoughts on I Faked a Pregnancy, but My Husband Returned

"I Faked a Pregnancy, but My Husband Returned" has been quite the ride, and overall, I found it to be a genuinely enjoyable and entertaining read. It sits comfortably in the rom-com genre with a dash of fantasy, delivering a lighthearted experience that's easy to get hooked on.

First Impressions

From the get-go, the story pulled me in with its engaging setup. The initial plot points are established quickly, which is a huge plus as it avoids that dreaded slow burn at the beginning that can sometimes kill my interest. The dynamic between the female and male leads is immediately apparent, setting the stage for a fun and interesting partnership.

What Works Well

The strength of this novel lies in its charming characters and witty banter. The dialogue is wonderfully written, making the interactions between the characters feel natural and engaging. I especially enjoyed the slow-burn romance, which builds on a solid foundation of friendship and mutual respect. The female lead is clever and practical, and I appreciate how she often cuts through unnecessary drama. Several readers mentioned the male lead being a "green flag," and I have to agree. The story also benefits from great translation work, which enhances the overall reading experience. The worldbuilding is also well-done, offering a believable and captivating setting for the story to unfold.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the story immensely, I did find some aspects a bit cliché and predictable. The plot, while fun, doesn't necessarily break new ground. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, especially during the "misunderstanding phase," where it felt like the story dragged on. Some aspects of the plot felt a bit too convenient, and the female lead's knowledge of future events, while explained, made her feel a bit too Mary Sue-like at times.
