Flirting with The Villain's Dad

The story seemed common at first until the whole "father" situation because essentially al of them are side characters to the future main characters. It has the most fluff among those I've read in its first few chaps.  The emperor is not dense nor a jerk and Yerenica easily shows her emotions on her face. I feel like things tend to get slow but I still find myself coming back to it from time to time, so if you find the mcs dynamic cute/interesting then do give this a try. It may not have everything nice nor does it have spice, but it has sugar, lots of it.

This story starts off really cringy and I'm not exaggerating when I say that but there's just something about the story that kept me engaged. I love the pacing, it's phenomenal and the storytelling is on point in the latter half of the plot. The main characters are also just so soft for each other and I can't. 😍 Their so adorable, I highly recommend anyone who finds this interesting stick with it because while its definitely not perfect in the beginning, it's my guilty pleasure now, and it could be yours too~

I slept at 4 AM trying to finish reading all 74 chapters. Not a joke. Flirting With The Villain's Dad changes the standard structure of the genre in one big way - the female lead isekai's into the story before the main novel happens. Her awareness of what will happen in the novel, and what it means for all the characters, influences her to take the plot into her own hands - she decides to marry the original villain's dad to prevent him from being born. The opening chapters are a little ridiculous at first glance but I think you should give this a chance. This manga's biggest highlight is the relationship between the FL and the ML; how they eventually fall in love with each other, despite their rocky beginnings, is a sight to behold. I especially enjoyed watching the FL's antics and her attempts to get the ML to fall in love with her. And that's no small feat since the ML has an impregnable wall around him that keeps everyone at arm's length. This manga was exactly what I was craving at this time. After reading the Raeliana manga, I wanted a wholesome, uncomplicated relationship where the characters clearly fall in love with each other and don't make things unnecessarily complicated by being clear with each other's feelings. That is the ideal. The ideal. And this manga has it in spades.  This isn't a good manga if you want a strong and independent ML, comprehensive world building, or a plot that goes beyond the two characters. This is the manga you want to curl up to when you just want to see people fall in love. Especially an emotionally distant ML slowly realizing he can't live without the FL, trying to resist her but ending up committing to her wholeheartedly. Please. PLEASE. IT'S SO GOOD. One of my all-time guilty favorites!
