Perhaps personal preference but I DO NOT LIKE THE MC AT ALL in the novel. I started reading the novel after the manhua and I can't believe that the manhua MC is so much more straight forward and likable than novel MC smh.

NO. Just no. When the MC keep telling himself about the FL like almost every single chapter, doesn't communicate properly, CHILDISH but in the not so fun way completely unlike the manhua MC. Just slightly disappointed but that's just me. Take it with a grain of salt and you should read it too.
Also, very little interaction between ml and mc which is very disappointing. Just constant monologue from the MC in the sense that I really can't brain what he simply assumed.
For the first time ever, I actually liked the manhwa more than the novel
