The score is only as high as it is because of the translation quality. ML acts cruel towards FL all to get back at her for her betrayal, which after 40ish chapters we don't know. Whatever the reason is, it will not excuse his treatment. I wish FL would be free of him but we know how these stories go.

This is going to be a spoiler as it's based on later chapters so stop reading if you don't want to know. &, as expected, they brushed off his past behavior by making him injured on her behalf. Suddenly, they're both going to forget that & be a loving couple again (for a bit).

Honestly its gotten more better as the story progresses. In the most recent chapters (recent as in the ones we can read for free without paying), its no longer stagnant. Some truth comes out and she decides to end it all. Character development can be seen.

Eh, I guess that depends on the reader because I felt that as soon as she got injured & he saved her the story took a shift with them being a bit out of character for the sake of their love story progressing. It made me scoff when suddenly her dreams were to be a reporter & then we learned that Timothy had a close friendship with a woman. I always hate that trope of the cold powerful man who isn't close to women except their lover but then a childhood friend reappears. I know why he feels as if he owes Harmony but has it been revealed why he called off the engagement with Samantha in the first place? I've read up to the chapter where Harmony announces she's a mistress in order to meet Samantha's conditions for her to agree to a divorce (& I think I'm really dropping it now as I don't care for the story's direction with a probable time skip & them eventually ending up together) but I wonder if Timothy is also playing along with Samantha's plan to trap Harmony & whoever is behind her. By that I mean, they're working individually without knowing each other's true intentions but working towards the same goal. Do you have spoilers?

one of the most toxic novels I have ever read, I'm at chapter 308 , can't take it anymore. The quality and translation of the story is very nice. If you can take all the toxicity, read at your own risk .

This is such a rip off! You need to purchase coins inorder to unlock chapters and the coins are crazy expensive when it comes down to unlocking the whole thing. Then you’d have to spend more for the privilege or upgrade inorder to unlock more chapters. And each chapter is dragging it’s story into explaining something that doesnt even need to be explained so that the chapter would just seem “longer” and so that the author can release more chapters. The story is even getting crazier and crazier but most especially the amount of money you need to read this book is crazy ridiculous!!

Any later and the civil affairs bureau will be closed.”

Before she has time to claim the newcomer gift pack, her fiancé, sporting an air of confidence, comes to break off the betrothal. The reason being, he's about to secure a stable job. Lin Tang looks at the ordinary yet self-assured man, parted her red lips slightly and said, "...break it off!" Less than a month later, her ex-fiancé was fired for some reason. Lin Tang took a stroll around the county and became the executive officer of the Broadcasting Station in the Textile Factory. Ex-fiancé's internal OS: Is it too late to reconcile now? - Those times were tough! Despite being treasured by her three big brothers and parents, everything from food to cloth and even soap required coupons... Even living frugally couldn't alleviate the miserable condition. Looking at the black mush in the bowl, Lin Tang fell silent, “......” Thankfully, she had a system! Need anything? Just check in to get it. - Many years later. A handsome man looked at his delicate wife with a fair complexion, managing to keep a straight face as he said, “I heard you could knock out a wild boar with just two punches?” Lin Tang's eyes sparkled, her fingers gently exerting force, and the Enamel Jar in her hand deformed. She responded in a stern manner, “Nonsense! Don't believe those rumors. We're civilized people and can't be that barbaric!”

Due to her innate shy and kind nature, she was not able to connect to her family every since she was young. So, despite her rich background, Selene Vale never felt like a part of the family and was often regarded as the 'First spare' or even 'defective'. That did not change even when the world fell and Apocalypses happened. Selene Vale's first life ended trying to protect her twin siblings, the only people who had yet to abandon her. That was her end... ...but it wasn't. Due to her sacrifice, Selene Vale awakened her system and innate power and was given another chance at life and survival. And this time, she vowed to free her siblings from their parent's cruel influence. If she was able to do that, then she would be happy with that. But unfortunately, that was not all she did. She also ended up attracting the attention of the big-boss of the Apocalypse, the only L-ranked hunter and the hope of humanity....and also, a long time friend she would rather forget about.
