Happily Ever Afterwards — Chapter 5

Well, hello there, fellow readers of Happily Ever Afterwards [Official]! We’re deep into Chapter 5, and the comments section is buzzing! ✨

Mostly, folks are divided on our determined FL, Peony. Many find her unwavering optimism and "delusion" absolutely adorable and endearing 🥰, calling her a precious golden retriever trying to melt an icy ML. But others are frustrated, seeing her actions as naive or even "stupid," wishing she had more self-respect.

Then there’s the Duke! While some understand his initial coldness – imagine someone obsessed with your looks! – readers are getting seriously annoyed, especially over the dreaded firewood incident 🔥. Is he trying to drive her away or just being a cruel jerk? The debate is heated!

A big chunk of comments are also just calling out the commenters themselves – the ones who hate shoujo tropes or characters but keep reading anyway 🤡. It’s only Chapter 5, after all! Many are loving the story's lighthearted take on isekai tropes and are just excited for the inevitable moment when the cold Duke finally falls hard for our persistently sweet princess. Anticipation for the "roles reversed" groveling is HIGH! 😉
