Description
“I want to make something clear before the wedding.” Dyffrin turned to face Evelyn. “I won’t care about whatever you do, so I hope you won’t interfere with my affairs either.”“……?”“And you should know that I have no intention of laying a finger on you. Of course, we’ll be using separate rooms as well.” Dyffrin recited what was about to happen to him, as if informing his employees of instructions.Watching him, Evelyn thought, No matter what, I will divorce him 2 years later and get a large alimony. However, contrary to Evelyn’s resolution, their relationship flowed in an unpredictable direction. * * * “Why are you so adamant about not getting divorced? Is it because of your pride?”“Because I don’t want to.”“You don’t even love me!” Dyffrin wrapped his arms around Evelyn’s waist and pulled her closer.It was a kiss that felt like it would swallow her whole. He violently bit her lips and ravaged her mouth, almost to the point that it was difficult to breathe properly.When Evelyn repeatedly hit his chest forcefully, he barely pulled his lips away. “Isn’t this the kind of love you want? Kissing and making love in the bedroom.” Evelyn shot back with a sarcastic tone. Dyffrin didn’t care and grabbed Evelyn’s wrist, dragging her. “Let’s go to the bedroom right now. If you want, I can hold you tenderly and whisper sweet words of love.”“…I’m really disappointed.”“Aren’t I already the worst man for you? Being disappointed in me doesn’t bother me much.” Saying so, Dyffrin pressed his lips against Evelyn’s once again. “Evelyn. Divorce is not an option for me. So, change your mind.”

My Thoughts on The Goal Is Alimony
"The Goal Is Alimony" presents an interesting premise: a woman aiming for divorce in a world of nobles and arranged marriages. I was intrigued by the blend of drama, fantasy, and romance, but the overall rating suggested a mixed experience, so I dove in with cautious optimism.
First Impressions
The initial setup is promising. We have Evelyn, a strong-willed female protagonist navigating a complex social landscape. The idea of a character actively pursuing alimony, rather than simply being a victim of circumstance, felt refreshing. I was ready for a story of cunning, strategy, and perhaps a little bit of heartwarming development.
What Works Well
The novel shines in its character development, particularly the male lead's transformation. Many found the gradual thawing of his initially cold demeanor to be a highlight, leading to a genuinely cute and engaging relationship. The story's pacing and smooth flow also contribute to a pleasant reading experience. Side stories focusing on family life add depth and further endear the characters to the reader. Evelyn's strength and intelligence are definitely a major draw, making her a protagonist you want to root for.
Areas of Concern
One significant sticking point for me, and it seems for others as well, is the inclusion of the original Evelyn's backstory. It felt unnecessary and, frankly, detracted from the overall enjoyment. Knowing the original Evelyn's tragic fate casts a shadow over the present-day characters, making it difficult to fully invest in their happiness. The execution of the transmigration concept itself also felt somewhat lacking. I was hoping for a more compelling explanation, but it ended up feeling a bit rushed and underdeveloped.

Final Verdict
"The Goal Is Alimony" is a mixed bag. While it offers enjoyable character development, a strong female lead, and a generally smooth narrative, it's weighed down by questionable plot choices and, for some, an unlikable male lead. If you can overlook the issues with the original Evelyn's story and potentially the male lead's flaws, you might find this to be a worthwhile read. However, be prepared for a potentially frustrating experience if those aspects bother you.
