Description
At a night gala held for young aristocrats, my eyes chased one young girl surrounded by heaps of single men. Her name was Lulu Camell, and she was the second daughter of the Count of Camell, boasting radiant golden hair and emeralds for eyes. She was also Ruben Berner’s fiancée—my fiancée, two years younger than myself. An engagement is also a contract between two families, and the weight of breaking off a marriage instead of dissolving it is much heavier. For my part, I wanted to dissolve in the most peaceful way possible, but… I had no choice but to make up my mind.

My Thoughts on My Fiancé Cheated On Me, So I Had No Choice But To Break Off The Engagement
This title really says it all, doesn't it? I dove into My Fiancé Cheated On Me... expecting a straightforward revenge story, and while it delivered on that front, it also left me with some mixed feelings. It's a quick read, and I can see why some readers found it satisfying, but certain aspects of the plot felt a bit…off.
First Impressions
My initial impression was that this was going to be a classic "wronged protagonist gets sweet revenge" tale. The premise is simple: a man, engaged for seven years, finally calls it quits after his fiancée's blatant infidelity. The setup is pretty standard, but I was hoping for some clever twists or compelling character development.
What Works Well
The pacing is definitely a strong point. The breakup happens relatively early, and the story quickly moves on to the aftermath. I appreciated that the author didn't dwell too much on the details of the cheating itself, focusing instead on the consequences and the protagonist's journey. For those new to the revenge genre, this could be a good starting point. It offers a relatively painless experience without delving into overly dark or sadistic themes.
Areas of Concern
However, the story's setting and the motivations of certain characters raised some questions for me. The backdrop is a medieval-esque world with noble factions vying for power. The protagonist's engagement was initially arranged to solidify an alliance, but the fiancée's family seemingly did nothing to curb her behavior for seven years, despite its potential political ramifications. This lack of action felt inconsistent and detracted from the overall narrative. The punishment doled out to the cheating fiancee also felt a bit extreme, considering the nature of her "crimes."

Final Verdict
Overall, My Fiancé Cheated On Me... is an okay read if you're looking for a quick and easy revenge story. The pacing is good, and the protagonist's journey is satisfying to some extent. However, the inconsistent world-building and the questionable motivations of certain characters ultimately prevent me from giving it a higher rating. I'd say it's a solid 3/5 stars.
