The characters lack depth, and I don't dislike the main male lead (ML) solely because of his low emotional intelligence. However, his compulsive lying is grating, not endearing. I particularly厌恶女主角 (FL), as she constantly points out the ML's EQ issues while dismissing his emotions, attributing his inability to love to her own insecurities without providing a proper explanation. Her past doesn't justify any trauma or relationship failures, nor does she mention being bullied or mistreated. Surprisingly, she seems capable of standing up for herself in other situations but becomes cowardly and insensitive when it comes to her feelings.
The angst surrounding the FL's jealousy over another woman, simply because the ML rejected her online advances, feels forced and unconvincing. The author's portrayal of this character is frustrating. The coincidental encounters between Gu You and FL, which seem to magically deepen their bond, border on unrealistic, especially compared to the lack of development between the ML and FL despite living under the same roof. The author seems biased in favor of the plot and comedic moments.
Additionally, the antagonist's obsession with the ML, Xiaoya Bai, is questionable. According to the original source, her desire was genuine love, as seen in her pursuit despite financial constraints. In her next timeline, she even accepts GY's profession as a gamer, believing he loves her. However, the character's portrayal as a one-dimensional villain, obsessed with money and fixated on FL, detracts from her complexity.
Despite these shortcomings, I'm giving two stars for the translators' efforts, as their humor and wit kept me engaged till this point. Thank you for their contribution.
