Oh No, I Possessed a Male Character! (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 17
I shook my head back and forth. A laugh, almost mocking, kept slipping out despite myself.
“Hey, Rumi. I know this isn’t really something I should say to your face…”
“Then don’t say it. Though I’ve noticed some people just can’t help saying things even when they know better.”
Rumi shot back instantly, her tone sharp.
But I wasn’t the type to shrink back just because of that. When it came to sheer stubbornness, I wasn’t about to lose to Rumi.
“There’s just so much to criticize that I’m honestly confused about where to even start. For one, couples never actually form in real life when the first impression is bad.”
That sort of thing only happens in novels or dramas.
The common trope where the male lead falls for the female lead precisely because she treats him coldly—like “No one’s ever treated me like this before”—is pure fantasy, nothing more.
Besides, Elfride—the character Rumi had possessed—already had a poor image in Klaus’s eyes, even before Rumi went out of her way to make another bad impression.
If her image was already bad, reinforcing it would only cement her as “the villain.” Tropes must be used according to context; throwing them around recklessly isn’t clever at all.
At my words, Rumi declared confidently,
“Of course it doesn’t happen in real life. But this is inside a novel, isn’t it?”
Just a few days ago, she claimed this had become her reality. It seemed Rumi didn’t even realize the contradiction in her own words.
“If you’ve entered a novel, you must follow the rules of novels, Eojin. Do you really think clichés exist for no reason?”
I didn’t need to argue with her—but I couldn’t let her take control of the conversation either.

“If he had never learned that Muzel was a woman, he might have mistaken it for deep friendship”
I had this thought, and this semi confirmed it for me: Klaus seems to like Muzel no matter the gender. He maybe bi, but it maybe only for Muzel. Like Shang from Disney’s Mulan
