Description
I thought I was a non-existent extra, but they say I’m Duke ‘Rosenta Estella’ in the novel. No wait, Rosenta is a secondary male character? Wasn’t he a man? “Vivian, are you still asking Rosenta to tie up your hair?” “Huh? What does that matter?” Why are the male lead and the villain fighting over me?! The crown prince, who was originally described as a tyrant, grew up smiling and the wicked woman, Vivian, became a rabbit-like girl following me around. But the biggest problem is… “Please put a leash on me.” The obsession of the yandere character in the original work is directed toward me. Why is everyone doing this to me?! I’m just a secondary male character in charge of heartbreak!

My Thoughts on The Second Male Lead is Actually a Girl
"The Second Male Lead is Actually a Girl" has been an interesting ride so far, and I'm eager to share my thoughts. The premise alone – a transmigration story with cross-dressing and a protagonist in a position of power – immediately grabbed my attention. It's a blend of genres I typically enjoy: fantasy, mystery, and a dash of romance.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the concept of a calm and collected female lead who doesn't blindly follow the original plot. Rosenta, our MC, seems to genuinely care about the characters around her and builds authentic friendships. The fact that she holds real power as a Duke, making important decisions, is a refreshing change from the usual trope of female leads being sidelined.
What Works Well
The dynamic between Rosenta and her butler, who is also the male lead, Enoch, is definitely a highlight. I love the idea of a powerful and loyal ML who is utterly devoted to the FL. The story hints at a deep understanding between them, a connection that goes beyond the typical damsel-in-distress scenario. Their interactions are described as cute and heartwarming, a balance that I find appealing. The trio friendship, including Theodore and Vivian, seems to be a fun dynamic, and I am always a fan of strong platonic relationships in stories like these.
Areas of Concern
While many readers praise the storyline, a few raised concerns about the pacing. Some felt that the story progresses too quickly, skipping over important details and character development. Jumps between scenes and timelines can be jarring if not handled well, and it seems that some readers experienced this issue. I'm hoping that as the translation continues, these issues will be addressed, or at least become less prominent as the story finds its rhythm.

Final Verdict
Despite some pacing issues and potential haircut-related heartbreak, "The Second Male Lead is Actually a Girl" has a lot of potential. The strong female lead, the intriguing male lead, the promise of genuine friendships, and the unique blend of genres make it a story worth checking out. I am willing to stick with it and hope the author continues to develop the characters and world in a satisfying way. I'd give it a solid 3.7/5.
