Description
It seems Lady Rose Crawford, wife of Minister Ray Crawford, is still struggling to adjust to life in Orthuran. A foreigner from Bolton, a country with a culture vastly different from ours, she recently sparked controversy once again with an inappropriate comment regarding a labor strike. (See Issue No. 1905-280 of this publication for details.) Lady Rose has long been unable to hide her excessive pride in her homeland, Bolton. Even war could not slow Minister Crawford’s rise in approval ratings, but Lady Rose Crawford has managed to do so. A recent survey conducted among loyal readers of the Daily Oakley Review shows that the minister’s favorability rating has dropped by more than 10 percent since the last poll. Considering the previous survey was conducted before his marriage, the reason for this decline is clear. A member of the Conservative Party has expressed serious concern over the situation. They said that it is becoming increasingly difficult to present Minister Crawford as the face of the party, given the public’s disapproval of his marriage and the frequent scandals that have followed. Whether Ray Crawford, once one of the nation’s most beloved politicians, can avoid the disgrace of being remembered as a man who made the wrong marriage out of infatuation remains to be seen. – John Donald, Daily Oakley Review

My Thoughts on Obituary
"Obituary" promised a dive into a world of aristocracy, fraught with forced marriage, betrayals, and characters wrestling with their inner demons. It certainly delivered on some of those fronts, though my overall impression is a bit more nuanced than a straightforward recommendation.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the European-esque setting and the premise of a relationship born from obligation rather than love. The idea of witnessing character development, especially in characters who start off less than stellar, is always appealing. I jumped in hoping to see some serious growth and complex relationships unfold.
What Works Well
The strongest aspect of "Obituary," in my opinion, is its exploration of character transformation. The male lead, while perhaps not entirely "horrible" from the outset, undergoes a significant and compelling journey. I found myself sympathizing with his struggles and appreciating the changes he makes throughout the narrative. This isn't limited to just the main characters either; even some of the side characters experience notable development, adding depth and richness to the world.
The writing style also deserves praise. It's evident that the author has put considerable effort into fleshing out the supporting cast, making them feel like more than just plot devices. The female lead's situation, constantly caught between opposing forces and facing criticism no matter her actions, creates a palpable sense of suffocation. I could genuinely feel the weight of her circumstances, which speaks to the author's skill in conveying emotional depth.
Areas of Concern
While the character development and emotional impact are strong, there are some elements that didn't quite resonate as well. The overall rating suggests that some readers may have found the pacing or plot progression to be less satisfying.
Final Verdict
"Obituary" is a web novel with clear strengths, particularly in its character development and emotionally resonant writing. If you enjoy stories with morally gray characters who undergo significant transformations, set against a backdrop of aristocratic intrigue and forced relationships, this might be worth checking out. However, be aware that it might not be a perfect experience, and some aspects may not fully satisfy all readers.
