My Thoughts on She Is a Daughter Raised As the Son of a Duke
"She Is a Daughter Raised As the Son of a Duke" had a fascinating premise that initially drew me in, but my overall experience was mixed. The story revolves around a female lead forced to live as a son, navigating a complex aristocratic world. While the core concept is intriguing, some aspects of the execution left me wanting more.
First Impressions
Initially, I was captivated by the potential for angst and drama. The setup, with the protagonist facing abandonment and the challenges of cross-dressing, promised a compelling narrative. However, as I delved deeper, I found that the writing style and character development didn't always live up to my expectations.
What Works Well
I did appreciate the novel's exploration of realistic relationship dynamics, even if they were frustrating at times. The fact that the original male lead turned out to be quite flawed was a refreshing subversion of typical tropes. The female lead's growth, from a vulnerable child to a more resilient young woman, was also a highlight. Despite facing numerous hardships, she managed to retain a sense of empathy and a desire for a normal life. I also liked that the author didn't shy away from the emotional fallout of the FL's mistreatment, opting for a more realistic depiction of trauma and recovery.
Areas of Concern
One of my biggest issues was the inconsistent characterization, particularly with the father figure. His actions often felt contradictory and his reasoning for mistreating the protagonist was weak. This made it difficult for me to sympathize with him, even after learning about his backstory. The pacing also suffered in the middle, with some sections feeling drawn out and tedious. Additionally, the romance felt underdeveloped, with the ultimate pairing feeling somewhat random and lacking the necessary chemistry.

While the premise and some character dynamics are intriguing, the inconsistent writing, pacing issues, and underdeveloped romance hold it back from reaching its full potential. If you enjoy stories with complex relationships and don't mind some frustrating elements, it might be worth checking out. However, be prepared for a bumpy ride.
