Description
I possessed a 19+ novel character. Unfortunately, I became Bella, the younger sister of the first wife who was traumatized by the beast. What is this obscure position? No! It can’t be! If it goes like this, my eldest sister will have an affair and my life will come to an end. In the end, I voluntarily sell myself as his bride instead of my sister, but I have a different goal. My goal is to safely become the beast’s ex-wife! I tried to become the best-divorced woman in the empire with beauty and wealth by receiving alimony from the devastated land that later emerged as a site for the reconstruction of the imperial palace, but this beast is not an easy one. He said, “Why do you think I’m going to give you a divorce?” “Yeah? Of course, that’s-” “… I think my wife is misunderstanding something.” The Grand Duke slowly smiled and approached me. The face behind that mask was a decadent and charming smile that was unbelievable for a ferocious beast. “I am a beast. I am not s*upid.” … Did you think I would give up if you said that? Did you say we can’t get a divorce now that I managed to take care of the land, raised my younger sibling, and had a good life? Excuse me, Mr. Beast. I’m Bella, the legendary “soil-spooner”*! I think you got the wrong person!

My Thoughts on I Will Become the Ex-Wife of the Beast
"I Will Become the Ex-Wife of the Beast" promised a comedic and romantic escape into a fantasy world with a strong female lead. While I found some aspects enjoyable, the overall experience left me somewhat underwhelmed.
First Impressions
The initial premise is intriguing: a woman reincarnated into a novel she once read, determined to avoid her character's tragic fate by becoming the beastly duke's ex-wife. The setup had potential for witty banter, clever schemes, and heartwarming romance. However, the execution felt a bit rushed. The female lead, upon suddenly regaining her memories after an accident, makes a swift and somewhat jarring personality shift.
What Works Well
The European-inspired setting and the aristocratic backdrop are well-realized. I could easily picture the grand balls, the sprawling estates, and the intricate social dynamics of the nobility. The author clearly put effort into crafting a believable and immersive world. I also appreciated the hints of a curse and the overall fantasy elements woven into the story. The promise of a love interest who falls first also adds a layer of intrigue.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue lies with the character development, particularly that of the female lead. While I understand the desire to create a "strong" protagonist, her sudden transformation felt unearned. Her personality felt inconsistent, making it difficult to connect with her on an emotional level. I also struggled with the pacing. The initial chapters felt rushed, leaving me wanting more depth and exploration of the characters' motivations. The reliance on common tropes, like the amnesia-induced memory regain, didn't help either.
Final Verdict
"I Will Become the Ex-Wife of the Beast" has the bones of a good story, but it needs more fleshing out. The world-building is solid, and the premise is engaging, but the character development and pacing need improvement. While the story shows potential, I'm hesitant to wholeheartedly recommend it without reservations. It might appeal to readers who enjoy lighthearted fantasy romance with a focus on aesthetics and world-building over deep character exploration.
