Now this just reads like a tragedy to me. Her longing for him was beautiful and tragic and now she hates him for no reason whatsoever. When it would have made sense for her to hate him after years of him just not returning her feelings (which he was entitled to so I ain’t mad at him), she now just has this hatred because a boy-god who won’t grow up and his mother intent on revenge, struck her with the arrow of hatred. She’s having everything she’s ever wanted and dreamt about but is now convinced she hates it. Stupidest thing she’s done was pray to another goddess. Now look, she’s in a nightmare. Meanwhile, ML is barely recognizable to me. I actually truly enjoyed how unshakable he was in his godhood and that made me look forward to how he could possibly fall for her, but they messed that up by cheapening their love story with stupid Cupid arrows. I can’t even take anything he says seriously because it feels like he’s been brainwashed. He says the obvious: “our feelings cannot have changed overnight” and yet seems unable to grasp that that’s exactly what happened. So fxcking frustrating for that to go on for so long. I basically skimmed through chapters 8-17 to see if they’d come back to their senses, but nothing. So I’m done here.
PS: the characters who truly piss me off here are Aphrodite and her boy god of a son. I’d only return if it meant they suffer the consequences of this, but I doubt that’s going to happen.
