Description
In my seventeenth summer, three months before I went into isolation, the first daughter of Marquis Leonard, my “sister” returned, having disappeared shortly after birth. Everyone in the mansion loved her, and only her. It didn’t matter. Because from the very beginning, I’d known that my parents were utter tr*sh. I would’ve helped and organized all the documents for land management, but I saw no point in bothering the family that would soon fall. A family that would fall, should I, the one who actually did all the work instead of the Marquis, disappear. So, all I need to do is to isolate myself and get away from this place… –It was extremely cold! It must’ve been a long time ago.A self-proclaimed junior spirit I encounter ever so often, tells surprising stories. “Then who will protect you?”My ‘sister’, no, that woman, tried to ‘protect me’ under the guise of being a real sister. “What do you think, young Lady? If it’s this much of a loan, wouldn’t it be useful? Go ahead and run before someone snatches it away.”The wily duke, who’d signed a mutual deal with me, would be entitled to a loss. And… “I’ve prayed to God, whom I’ve never prayed to before.”When I saw my sweet childhood friend, who said just that, it seemed that in the end, we would no longer be just friends.

My Thoughts on I Hated It Even More
First Impressions
Okay, so I jumped into I Hated It Even More expecting a pretty standard shoujo/josei revenge story, and while it definitely has elements of that, it surprised me in some ways. The title itself is intriguing, hinting at a protagonist with a complex past and a whole lot of unresolved feelings. I was immediately drawn in by the promise of a "beautiful female lead" navigating the treacherous waters of aristocracy, especially with the added spice of "abusive characters" and "absent parents." I was ready for some drama!
What Works Well
What really stood out to me was the protagonist's calm and clever demeanor. It's a refreshing change from the often-clumsy or overly emotional leads we sometimes see in this genre. She's clearly a survivor, using her intellect and wit to navigate a world that seems determined to tear her down. The childhood friends/childhood love trope is also present, and while it's a familiar one, it's executed well enough to keep me invested in their relationship. The world-building, while not overly detailed, provides a solid backdrop for the unfolding drama. The pacing is decent, allowing the story to develop without feeling rushed or dragged out. I also appreciated how the novel delves into the themes of abandonment and abuse, handling them with a degree of sensitivity that added depth to the narrative.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed a lot about I Hated It Even More, there were a few things that gave me pause. The "flaws" mentioned are definitely there, and are very present. The characters, while interesting, sometimes felt a bit one-dimensional, lacking the nuance that would make them truly memorable. This isn't a deal-breaker, but it did prevent me from fully connecting with them.
Final Verdict
Overall, I Hated It Even More is an enjoyable read, especially if you're a fan of drama, fantasy, and romance with a strong female lead. While it's not without its flaws, the compelling protagonist, intriguing plot, and well-executed tropes make it a worthwhile experience. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a story that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. I'm giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
