Description
“I do not have the hobby of sharing what is mine with others.” This was what her ex-husband spat out in response to Therese’s request for a divorce. But how did things end up like this? In this second chance at life, she had promised herself never to fall in love again. Yet her ex-husband had become utterly leech-like, refusing to let go. “I assume you like my face.” “I’d prefer to stay where you can see me.” “I find myself getting jealous all the time.” He would say these nonsensical things, but Therese had no intention of repeating her foolish past. She knew that the only end to this hellish marriage was death. Nevertheless, her husband’s obsession continued endlessly. *** “I have not changed my mind about wanting a divorce, Your Grace.” “You will find it hard to understand me.” At that moment, tears started flowing down the Duke’s cheeks. “For someone like me, there’s no room for a new love.” The Duke whispered as his long fingers tousled Therese’s silver hair. The tremor at his fingertips told her it was genuine.

My Thoughts on My Ex-Husband Clings Like a Leech
Okay, so I dove into "My Ex-Husband Clings Like a Leech" with a mix of excitement and trepidation, and I'm walking away with… well, complicated feelings. The premise, with its second chance romance and European-esque setting, definitely hooked me. But the execution? That's where things get a little dicey.
First Impressions
The initial chapters were promising. The setup is intriguing: a woman reborn with a chance to rewrite her past, especially concerning her disastrous marriage. The world-building, while not groundbreaking, is solid enough to create a believable backdrop for the drama to unfold. I was ready for a tale of redemption, growth, and maybe even a little revenge.
What Works Well
Honestly, the strongest aspect is the translation quality. It flows smoothly and makes the reading experience generally enjoyable. This is crucial because a clunky translation can sink even the best stories. Also, I appreciated the glimpses of the female lead's past life as a powerful figure. There are moments where her intelligence and capability shine through, and I found myself rooting for her to reclaim that power.
Areas of Concern
Here's where I have to be brutally honest: the character development felt inconsistent. I struggled to connect with the female lead, particularly when it came to her reactions to the male lead. I found it hard to reconcile her past experiences with her present infatuation. It creates a frustrating disconnect that made it difficult to fully invest in her journey. The male lead's behavior also left me wanting more. His possessiveness often felt childish and lacked the depth I expect from a compelling romantic lead. I wanted to see genuine remorse and a clear understanding of his past mistakes, but it often felt like he was clinging to her out of a sense of ownership rather than love. The surrounding drama, particularly involving his family, felt somewhat contrived and didn't always serve the overall narrative.
Final Verdict
"My Ex-Husband Clings Like a Leech" has potential, and the translation is a definite plus. However, the inconsistencies in character development and the frustrating dynamics between the leads ultimately held it back from being a truly satisfying read for me. If you're looking for a light, dramatic read with a focus on aesthetics and don't mind some frustrating character choices, you might find something to enjoy here. Otherwise, proceed with caution.
