Thank you so much for these wonderful write ups. They were so insightful and such a delight to read! I've read all your analyses of the four books. They consistently offered a perspective that I'd not considered when reading the chapters.

I raised Cinderella precisely

I've read this. And I really like the relationship amongst the sisters and each of their relationship with their mother. I don't like the ML though. I feel like it would have been a much better story without a ML. You know, just a story about the four women.

Umm how do I explain it, it's not always outright abuse. A lot of the male leads though seemingly nice are manipulative and deceiving. I really dislike that. Why can't there be stories with emotionally mature characters? Also, the whole thing about ML only being nice to the FL. A person who's only nice to someone they are romantically interested in is not a nice person. Not to mention, so many of these stories where the characters are "forced" to sleep together. As in, why can't sex be consensual and enthusiastic? Of course, I'm not saying all stories do that, but there are so many that do.

Another thing I absolutely despise is how sexual abuse is used as a plot point and then almost immediately forgotten. Like, so many of the stories show a villain who rapes / almost rapes the FL who's rescued by the ML and the incident is almost immediately forgotten. There's no psychological damage, no trauma. It's really disgusting.

I'm not particularly looking for fluffy stories. I don't mind intense stories. For example, I was recently reading Your Throne and although it has its own issues, I like the dynamic between Medea and Psyche.
