## My Thoughts on Commercial Marriage [Rebirth] Okay, let's dive into "Commercial Marriage [Rebirth]". This one was... definitely something. The premise alone is enough to raise eyebrows, and my experience reading it was a rollercoaster of emotions. ### First Impressions My initial reaction? Utter bewilderment. The whole MC/ML dynamic is undeniably strange, bordering on a "narcissus wet dream," as one reader put it. Falling in love with yourself? It's a concept that takes a bit of mental gymnastics to fully embrace. I went in expecting a train wreck, but I was surprised. ### What Works Well Despite the unusual setup, I found myself somewhat charmed. The story is relatively short and sweet, with a decent amount of fluff and not an overwhelming amount of drama. The plot moves at a good pace, and I appreciated that the author tried to handle the bizarre premise with a degree of seriousness. The romantic development, while unconventional, felt surprisingly natural as the story progressed. The resolution of the ML's old grudges was also well-executed, giving a satisfying sense of closure. The translation quality seemed to vary depending on the translator, but when done well, it really enhanced the reading experience. ### Areas of Concern I do have to address the elephant in the room: the selfcest aspect. While the story is consensual and avoids certain problematic tropes, it's still a challenging concept to fully get behind. There were moments where I felt a bit squicked out, especially during the "papapa" scenes. The constant misunderstanding tropes also felt repetitive and lazy. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several readers pointed out issues with the MC's behavior towards the ML. Apparently, the MC withholds crucial information from the ML, treating him like a child and undermining his agency. The villains, particularly the ML's brother, are also criticized for their cartoonish stupidity and repetitive attempts to harm the MC and ML. The fact that the ML's brother is also reborn adds another layer of complexity (and potential frustration) to the narrative. ### Final Verdict "Commercial Marriage [Rebirth]" is a weird, wild ride. If you can suspend your disbelief and embrace the bizarre premise, you might find it to be a surprisingly enjoyable and unique read. However, be prepared for some potentially uncomfortable moments and a plot that occasionally veers into the realm of ridiculousness. Ultimately, it's a decent way to pass the time, but don't expect a literary masterpiece. I'd give it a solid 3.5/5.
