Eve's Topics (88)

Yes great we now are moving forward slightly with how things have been revealed but seriously? The author is continuing her "special" next week? Don't get me wrong, the author can definitely do whatever she wants but am I the only one getting more frustrated as it seems to be her way of dragging the story further more? Like she could do the special AFTER the entire story has folded but instead decided to do it NOW when there's cliffhanger after cliffhanger. People already weren't happy when this story was dragging all this time and she wants to sprinkle in some reverse story special to distract us...sigh* She's got a tactic...that's for sure. One would think you would focus on your main story when its lacking a lot of substance rather than focus on a SIDE story.

Although this story wasn't as fleshed out as the others (not that the others were that fleshed out either), I preferred this couple WAY more in terms of dynamic and character personality. It just didn't feel like the author's usual semes who are super experienced, blonde, delinquent types. Her other works featured semes who were more nonchalant and unclear about their feelings while in this one, they're more clear for both characters but not very well conveyed to each other. However I thought at chapter 6, it initially said its "ongoing" but now its COMPLETED?!?!? Sort of disappointed that the author didn't extend the story to further build on their relationship, communication skills, and individual character growth.

The watch went from the left hand to the right then none and then left then right....which is it? LOL. The puppy scared me (≧∀≦)

So many people are insulting those who "complained" about the story but that is what a comment section is for.....for expressing opinions about the story regardless of having paid for it or not. Some saying "You knew from chapter one...". Oh how wrong this comment is. Nobody knows what will happen next in the story..,that's the whole point of reading it. Some people seem to not know how the real world works... negative comments or opinions are allowed to exist and be welcomed for further discussion. People can form negative opinions and to those who say they can't well...welcome to the real world. It is absolutely ridiculous that these people are telling others, they can't say anything bad about the story. Anybody can form an opinion....particularly a negative opinion... on any piece of work. Just because the author put in hard work, doesn't mean it automatically deserves praise. The end product actually has to be good objectively. Right now the story is going nowhere...and that is a fact. She looped it back around to the beginning where Seungho is raping Nakyum and almost every chapter is still sex/rape.

Or rather don't judge a book by its ratings. One of the worst manhwa that has perfected the art of fooling the audience into rating it highly. Actually author isn't that smart, more like too many underage readers who don't have the ability to deconstruct and reflect on multiple terrible aspects of this manhwa. Despite its high rating, the manhwa objectively is very very abhorrent. Started out with potential and decent art and then went super downhill from the middle to the end. From dragging the plot for multiple chapters to making characters deplorable to glossing over major issues....Very surprised that around this time, many comments praise the work when at the time it was finished, most readers realized it for what it was....complete utter garbage. A disgrace to be rated as highly as other actually good manhwas/manhuas.

This manhua was overall a pretty good one, with more realistic approaches to romance, very nice art, and decent development of main characters and plotline. Realistic approaches and not an overly dramatic approach was this manhua's advantage.

However, I would not classify this as a masterpiece because of a few things.

1. Pacing
For one, the pacing is meh with the author focusing entirely too much on irrelevant scenes and very little dialogue in one chapter. Sure not bad when one is reading through after it is finished but while it was pushed out weekly, the bad pacing was evident. Some or rather a lot of chapters went from point A to point A. For example, it would start with the main character planning to talk to somebody, meeting them, saying a few words and then boom cliffhanger when nothing has happened... Many times she would end the chapter with no substance and even end it as a cliffhanger when it didn't classify as a cliffhanger.

2. Realistic?
People tend to really overhype a piece of work if it slightly deviates from usual tropes and stereotypes. The other thing was there were quite a few stereotypical plotlines but its not always a bad thing. It's just I see so many praise the manhua for being realistic without being cliche when there were many cliche and stereotypical aspects. For example, "meeting each other as childhood friends", "don't want to be with you bc you'll be discriminated against", "meeting you when I'm older and then we work out as a couple (Red head and uncle)", etc.

3. Side characters
One major flaw were the side characters as the author did not seem to know what to do with them and inserted or developed them with poor timing. Side characters were pretty useless except for giving audiences a bit of fresh air from the main couple. She did not bring them in earlier in the story and instead inserted them right when the main couple had major issues which was bad timing. Most people cared about the characters bc they were cute or had relatable struggles but in general, they wouldn't and shouldn't evoke much emotion from the audience due to lack of development and screen time. i.e. "I don't know much if anything about this side character and she expects us to care for them greatly", which is a flaw. One major hint of the not so decent side characters were the fact that most readers didn't even remember their names and only referred to them by their hair color.

4. Lack of development for main characters and only scraping the surface of complex issues
Main characters STILL did not get enough development in terms of their dynamic with each other AFTER they got together and that is also due to the fact that author chose to use that time to allocate for the side characters. There was slight emphasis on Huan's sexual inexperience but she didn't or couldn't delve into that and the lack of approval from Yuyang's parents which were glossed over, etc. The misunderstanding in their relationship was just Huan forgetting Yuyang's bd and hiding the fact that he was sick which was a miscommunication problem that could have been developed more and used to show their dynamic as a couple. Instead she just chalked it up to them having an almost perfect relationship without them explicitly communicating and whatnot.

Despite the flaws, I still enjoyed the manhua and thought it was decent. I would've liked her to still focus more on the couple and develop their relationship more but she really didn't do that, which is probably why she dragged the misunderstanding and unrequited love part so long as after they got together, not much happened. She didn't dive into the topics deeply and only scraped the surface. Topics about acceptance, relationship struggles, etc. and sort of glossed over it quite quickly with just showing family members or friends accepting it easily. Still a manhua I would prob re-read.

Usually, I'm the type to be very immersed and attached to my characters but damn....this was atrocious. Alpha had not redeeming qualities and I was asking myself, are we supposed to like the alpha who is our main character? He's disgusting, deplorable, --I have almost no words. He's a dick. Questionable from the very start, this seme has committed every crime under the sun.... rape, rape of a minor, verbal, physical, sexual abuse. He's just a terrible human being and not surprised our omega falls for him and stays with him at the end. My question to the author is who TF is your editor?!?! DID THEY TELL YOU IT WAS SHIT? Forget the editor, the author is so far up his/her own ass, that they think this shit was anywhere near good. I sound angry but I really am not. Just stating facts here.... I did not find myself too upset because how could I be when there was no hope to begin with. I just felt empty.

Based on previous manhwas with worst or terrible plots as they go along, I'm surprised people have such a reaction to this one. Usually people still praise works while they drag on the plot and get repetitive. However, I agree, its getting repetitive and dragging a lot. We GET IT. Jesus, he's mad and upset with Nakyum, rightfully so but still go with another plot author. We're at chapter 64 and we still haven't had much change in the characters...I'm pretty sure its going to be a cliche plotline so why is she even dragging this? Like we KNOW he's going to end up with Seungho so just get to the point or at least move the plot.
