No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!
In her pursuit of saving enough money to return home, Hannah found herself playing the role of the "first-love" character in a beloved novel. Originally, this character was a typical stand-in supporting actress, taking on various substitutes for the female lead as dictated by the male protagonists, such as donating kidneys or sparing road for the female lead, which she all agreed. Eventually, the original character succumbed to the pressure, turning dark and meeting a tragic demise with a disfigured face on the streets after being killed by the male protagonists.
Hannah's task was to follow this grim plotline and achieve the tragic story's intended outcome. However, in the eyes of George River, she was merely a substitute he had enlisted—an entity dependent on him. When his true love returned, he callously abandoned the woman who deeply loved him. Later, he regretted his decision, only to discover that the once-begging woman was now surrounded by various exceptional men.
The individuals who had previously used her as a shield—the movie king, the ambitious young actor who climbed over her for his ideal goddess, and the president who regretted his actions upon regaining his memory—all found themselves humbly pleading for her affection: "Hannah, the one I love is you." Confused by the sudden turn of events, Hannah observed her bank account steadily growing and stumbled upon a newfound skill for crafting tragic stories.
As the main antagonist who successfully survived until the end of the story, Arnold Simmons was ruthless, dark, and violent. In his eyes, Hannah appeared to be the most naive woman he had ever encountered, her thoughts consumed solely by love. Witnessing her continuous deception by those around her, Arnold eventually reached a breaking point and seized her, declaring, "Stay by my side; let me handle your tasks."
[A seemingly fragile flower with an inner strength, Daughter of the Sea, crosses paths with an obsessed, dark, and sinister antagonist who contemplates disrupting the pond of bred fish every day.]
Tail Tone · General
Solid world building, introduction and development of apocalyptic setting. Could have been so much better. Then the novel completely stagnated after Chap 70, all characters hang around doing nothing, no progress, no development, nada, just some lame skill development. Author also decided to go way way left with all the gratuitous titillation and fetishes. Pedophilic tendencies (MC's adopted little sister is pre-pubescent and very immature, devolves into sexual relations, chap 100+), netorare tendencies, many many chapters dedicated to describing the gang rape/abuse of women. One character is repeatedly gang-raped, saved, gang-raped, saved, gang-raped, and finally killed. Absolutely pointless and sick fantasy from author. I get that a lot of the readers rated this highly because of the titillation though, seems very juvenile. Gave up after Chapter 120.
