## My Thoughts on Farewell, My Husband Who Became a Hero ~I Was Supposed To Be a Useless Wife Who Only Prayed…~ ### First Impressions Okay, so the title is a mouthful, right? But "Farewell, My Husband Who Became a Hero ~I Was Supposed To Be a Useless Wife Who Only Prayed…~" immediately piqued my interest. The premise of a woman being underestimated and then finding her own strength after a betrayal is a trope I usually enjoy, and this one seemed to have a nice fantasy twist. I dove in hoping for a satisfying revenge story with a dash of self-discovery. ### What Works Well Honestly, the biggest draw for me was the satisfying resolution to Flora's initial situation. Seeing her ex-husband face the consequences of his actions and watching Emilia, the saint, get her comeuppance was incredibly cathartic. The story is relatively straightforward, which I appreciated. There aren't a lot of complex plot twists to keep track of, allowing you to simply enjoy Flora's journey of self-discovery. I also really liked the new characters Flora meets along the way. They're supportive and kind, which provides a welcome contrast to the earlier part of the story. The interactions are genuinely joyful and make the whole experience feel uplifting. ### Areas of Concern While the simplicity of the story is a strength, it also flirts with being a bit *too* simple at times. Some might find the plot predictable or lacking in depth. If you're looking for intricate world-building or morally grey characters, this might not be the novel for you. It's more of a lighthearted and feel-good read than a deeply complex one. ### Final Verdict Overall, "Farewell, My Husband Who Became a Hero ~I Was Supposed To Be a Useless Wife Who Only Prayed…~" is a decent read if you're in the mood for something relatively low-stakes and emotionally satisfying. It's a classic revenge story with a heartwarming twist, and the characters are generally likable. If you want a novel to curl up with that won't give you a headache, this might be exactly what you're looking for. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
