Sorry, I wanted to like it, but the hypocrisy is too much for. Why are we getting lectured about whether it's okay or not for a teacher to pat their student's hair by a guy who assaulted his drunk coworker. I could ignore it as manga logic, but they keep bringing it up and he keeps touching him without his consent so it's too much for me.

I think this was a really nice story and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I definitely think an epilogue is coming, but even if there's none, it ended at the perfect point. Both of the characters are great and they really grew on me.
But, I guess it changed so much from what it was in the beginning that I got a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change a thing, but I wish I could read another story with the characters as they were in the beginning. To be more precise, I started reading this story, because the "This passive aggressive coworker hates me for no reason at all, but we're also kind of attracted to each other" dynamic was interesting to me, so the fact it all turned out to be a misunderstanding was a bit disappointing. I would've loved to read more of bitchy Bark Youngchan, but this story was wonderful as well

I really dislike how everyone knew about it. It makes mc feel kind of stupid and makes me feel stupid for thinking she's cool. Don't get me wrong, lot of it is interesting "Oh the ml knew all along! Of course he loves her!" "Oh her father knew about, well that makes sense!" "I'm so glad that her sister knew she was on her side!", but why does a classmate that talked to you one time count as an important enough character to be included in this. If both the butler and the maid knew of this plan and said nothing, then they could've obviously done more for the older sister secretly.
Idk, when I go into a story like this, it's for the angst of "She loved them enough to make them hate her to save them", that draws me in. After the reveal I'm just embarrassed for her that she roleplayed so badly that everyone with a braincell saw through it. I think if in-between the downfall of the count's family and the reveal a year has passed, where everyone slowly learned the through while mc suffered a bit, it'd be more meaningful.
Also imagine, that you're some wife a noble and you get all prettied up to go to this event and then all this melodrama to appease a girl that's not all that good at scheming happens in front of you, because they couldn't have resolved it without everyone present. Now, this girl is being aggressively flirted with by the duke, being praised like a little kid by the other nobles who knew of this and even a maid gets her chance to speak in this hall of nobles about how adorable this lady is. After witnessing this, you realize she's going to be a duchess and that you're going to have see her at all these tea parties and not think about all that happened today.
I'm thinking of dropping the story, not because of what I said above, but because the ml is so cringe. He sorts of feels like a parody of himself. If the previous fiance was talking like this, I wouldn't have thought it strange. Be more gentle, she just went through a lot! Be more reserved, you don't know each other like that! What do you mean you fell in love with him at first sight huh!!!!!

SAME! I felt cheated that I didn’t see certain things even though we had an unreliable narrator. That and although I enjoyed parts, it was like a campfire story that relies on a lot of flashbacks and explanations and exposition over meaningful scenes that I feel a bit cheated that everyone knew and I got stolen the moment of shock from the reveal like everyone was toying with her. SOMEONE at least showing that they are on her side may have graced her years of self-sacrifice and self-degradation but “she was just so cute” and “would never let us help if we told her we knew” BS. I was cool with it up until everyone in the woodwork cam forward that they knew well like that sucks for her she’s not even good at the thing she is supposed to be good at!

Wait what was with that one panel lol?? The pink haired dude being jealous at Mc shaking hands with Stan girl is understandable, they have many scenes together and it's been made clear that they like each other. Why is super strength there? He doesn't have any scenes with Stan girl. In fact, he only has scenes with mc. Hmmmmmmmmmm...........
Go crazy girl, show her why you don't bully emotionally screwed up middle schoolers With like a makeover or something, idk, this story isn't set in America.
Yeah it's just set in japan where people get bullied to death
People get bullied to death everywhere, so I don't really get your point, but alright.
