A RANT. If you love the story, do move along.

I've seen the spoilers and I honestly didn't mind so much. But then I let it marinate in my brain and a LOT of stuff pisses me off the story.



















1. Brainwash trope
Yeah, ok. I get it. This story was written during peak of the brainwash trope. My gripe is it's so poorly done here. I don't know how they're gonna do it in the manhwa but the novel basically brushed it off. Like a literal plot point that was over and done with. No real exploration of what she thought about the whole thing and her OGfam just...dies off. I mean, they loved her as much as new fam does but they basically get annihilated due to the brainwashing. Tho I think there was a survivor but he effectively exiles himself after big baddie is defeated.

2. ML. Really? He ain't even that interesting. He's so bland in character and execution that him being ML feels like such a self-insert. He's peak since he's basically an immortal god and can do no wrong so of course MC ends up with him. Personal opinion but I find it hella ridiculous to read a romance where one of them is mortal while the other isn't. Chemistry is so dead that I just cringe when they're together. Coz damn! He knew her as a wee baby. Seen her grow up and all! THE ICK IS ICKY

3. MC....sorry but she's as bland as ML. She's so goody goody that it's kinda boring. In her defense, she DOES have more spunk than others in the rofan category but something about her is just boring to me. Probably coz, tho not truly Mary Sue, she exudes the 'I'm an MC Heroine Aura' that it turns me off from reading more....does that make sense?

If you've read this far and got pissed off....the warning was right there. You can just move along.

    Wait, is there no revenge then? I started reading this for regret and revenge trope. I don’t want her family to have just some random death, I want confrontation. So, how did it happen in the novel?

    From what I heard from the spoilers in instagram....... I think mari died in the end(idk how).....and the family's brainwashing was removed and then they all realised it that they were brainwashed and so and so...

    pls tell me that death wasn’t their ending I want them to suffer in agony. Where they’ll be living their life with constant regret and guilt towards the MC. I don’t want that death punishment.
