My Thoughts on I’m a Second Male Lead in a Romance Fantasy, but I Don’t Like the Female Lead
Okay, so I dove into "I’m a Second Male Lead in a Romance Fantasy, but I Don’t Like the Female Lead" with a healthy dose of curiosity. The title alone is enough to grab your attention, right? I've read a fair share of reincarnation stories, and this one seemed to offer a slightly different spin.
First Impressions
My initial impression was… intriguing. The premise is solid: a guy gets dropped into the body of a second male lead in a romance fantasy novel. The twist? He's not interested in the female lead. Classic setup for some comedic chaos and potentially some interesting character development. The European-esque fantasy setting and academy backdrop are familiar and comfortable.
What Works Well
The humor definitely shines through. The MC's internal monologues and his interactions with the world around him are genuinely funny. I appreciated the author's attempt to subvert some of the typical romance fantasy tropes. The idea of the MC actively avoiding the female lead is a refreshing change of pace. The world-building, while not groundbreaking, is competent enough to keep me engaged. The magic system seems interesting and has the potential to be explored further.
Areas of Concern
However, I did stumble across some issues that gave me pause. The MC's lack of initiative in some areas felt a bit jarring. He's supposed to be a fantasy novel aficionado, yet he doesn't seem to be fully utilizing that knowledge to his advantage, especially regarding swordsmanship and magic. Also, the "auto-correct" phenomenon, which seems to be some kind of plot-correcting force, felt a bit hand-wavey and underdeveloped. I hope the author delves deeper into this mechanic and provides a more satisfying explanation. The female lead's character also felt a bit inconsistent, especially her motivations. It would be great to see her character fleshed out more.

Final Verdict
Overall, "I’m a Second Male Lead in a Romance Fantasy, but I Don’t Like the Female Lead" is a promising read with a few kinks to iron out. The humor and unique premise kept me entertained, but some inconsistencies and underdeveloped plot points held it back from being truly great. I'm cautiously optimistic and hoping that the author addresses these issues as the story progresses. It's a decent time killer, but maybe wait for a few more chapters to pile up before fully committing.
