This Marriage Will Surely Succeed Novel Review

My Thoughts on This Marriage Will Surely Succeed

"This Marriage Will Surely Succeed" is a web novel that definitely captured my attention. With a solid 4.3 rating, I went in expecting something good, and I wasn't disappointed. It's a blend of action, adventure, comedy, drama, fantasy, and romance, so there's a little something for everyone.

First Impressions

The setup is interesting. The female lead, Iona, gets a second chance at life, but unlike some stories where the MC is laser-focused on revenge, she initially seems almost reluctant to change things. This immediately made me curious about her motivations and how the plot would unfold. I was hooked from the start!

What Works Well

The characters are a major strength. I found Iona to be a compelling protagonist. She's smart and capable, but also makes mistakes, which makes her feel relatable and human. Her growth from someone who was emotionally dependent to a more self-assured woman is a highlight. The male lead, Leroy, is equally well-developed. He's not just a cardboard cutout there to support the FL; he has his own goals and personality. I also appreciated the slow-burn romance. It felt natural and earned, with both characters developing genuine feelings for each other over time. The teamwork and the way they outsmart their adversaries is also a very fun aspect.

Areas of Concern

I did notice a few things that could be improved. Some readers felt that the beginning was slow, particularly between chapters 50 and 90. This is because the female lead is putting all the blocks where they should so she is able to leave without difficulty. I can see how this could be a drag for some. I also think the FMC is a bit too perfect. She is super smart, beautiful, quick witted, very strong, and a few more things.

Final Verdict

Overall, I think "This Marriage Will Surely Succeed" is a worthwhile read. The strong characters, engaging plot, and well-developed romance make it a standout in the genre. While there are some pacing issues early on, the story picks up and becomes quite captivating. If you're looking for a fantasy romance with depth and complexity, I highly recommend giving this one a try.
