## My Thoughts on I’ve Been L*sting After the Supporting Male Lead "I’ve Been L*sting After the Supporting Male Lead" is a completed transmigration story that I found myself drawn into, despite some mixed feelings upon finishing it. The blend of drama, romance, and smut definitely made for an engaging read, and the josei elements added a layer of maturity that I appreciated. ### First Impressions The premise is fairly straightforward: the female lead (FL) transmigrates into a novel and decides to have some fun with the supporting male lead (ML). It's an R-18 story, so expect explicit content early and often. The initial chapters hooked me with the FL's laid-back attitude and her clear understanding of her situation. She's not trying to change the original plot; she's just trying to enjoy herself, which I found refreshing. ### What Works Well The FL's character is definitely a strong point. I loved her rationality and how she prioritized herself. She wasn't a "love brain," and she was decisive about what she wanted, which is a theme that resonates throughout the story. The novel also explores the complexities of the ML's feelings. He's not a bad guy, but he's caught between his past love for the original female lead (OrFL) and his growing feelings for the FL. This internal conflict adds depth to his character, even if it's frustrating at times. ### Areas of Concern ⚠️ Spoiler Warning ⚠️ The ending is where my feelings became more conflicted. The FL chooses to return to her own world, leaving the ML behind. While I appreciate that she chose herself, I can't help but feel a little bad for the ML. He's left with regret, believing he indirectly caused her death. It's a bittersweet ending that some readers might find unsatisfying. The ML's inability to fully let go of the OrFL, even as he develops feelings for the FL, can also be frustrating. He's torn between his past and present, which makes him seem indecisive. ### Final Verdict Overall, "I’ve Been L*sting After the Supporting Male Lead" is a decent read with a strong female lead and a complex male lead. The smut scenes are frequent and explicit, so be prepared for that. The ending is bittersweet and may not appeal to everyone, but it does fit the themes of self-love and prioritizing one's own happiness. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a quick, steamy read with a rational female lead and aren't afraid of a slightly melancholic ending.
