At first I get why people were upset at the 1st chapter. But reading up to chapter 3, the story is chill and it looks like this is more of the 2nd lead’s pov of falling in love with someone new rather than introducing actual drama.
Thought he’d say Frederick only for it to say aunt.
(￣∇￣")
I wouldn’t care lmaoo. If it’s an aunt then it has nothing to do with anyone else. Even if the truth was stretched out to something like: “the aunt is the mastermind but Frederick did the action” I would just assume Frederick going along with it ties into the loss of his sister
What a waste of a character design, cmonnn green eyes, dark hair, and tan skin- would’ve been a real hottie.

Anyways this had the potential to be a rare story where half the story misleads you into thinking the first guy is ML even with all the suffering, only to end up with a new good guy. That would be a fresh ending.
But then again, I think it’s also pretty rare for stories to foreshadow having a bad ending, and ACTUALLY end badly. Usually stories don’t go through with what they show in the first chapter, and it usually misleads you to later end up with a happy ending. This is a story where it tells you what will happen, and you better believe it lmfao.
So I just started reading this cause of a tiktok post- and I’m convinced ppl who get 2nd lead syndrome from this story are actually blind. Obviously the ML isn’t a green flag, but they praise and love the 2nd ML like he’s an angel?? I just read the first chapter and the fact that the 2nd lead doesn’t even want the mc to join a group chat to meet new people?? And then another part where he punches the ml cause he’s jealous after seeing him and the mc kiss?? That’s already a clear red flag that the dude is possessive. People are hating on the mc and ml when the 2nd isn’t much better. Their logic is: “sure, the 2nd may have SA mc once, but the ml has done worse!” Like that cancels out what the 2nd lead did. These certain readers really love to stay blind and dick ride the only guy they like huh?
╮(￣▽￣)╭
UPDATE:
So I caught up with the translated chapters and it just further solidifies how stupid I think Minwoo/2nd lead lovers are. He is very overprotective, lecturing him, telling him what to do, saying stuff like “I don’t want him to go down the wrong path! Don’t be with him anymore!!” Acting like his parent or something, more strict than mc’s own sister. Wanting him to be locked up in a cage all to himself, that includes his friends. MC literally only has one friend cause of him. MC has shown he’s uncomfortable and how suffocated he felt when 2nd lead does this. He had every right to blow up at 2nd lead. MC was pushed to that point where he exploded. Do you know how awful it feels to be pushed to so much stress that you have to yell for the person to get the point? And it’s the fact that minwoo blatantly said it TWICE that he was wrong and aware. He fr admitted that he was doing it for his own benefit cause he doesn’t want him to be with anyone, that he didn’t care for mc’s feelings.
And now that I caught up to the raws (SPOILERS):

Minwoo had so much tunnel vision or rage and jealousy over seeing mc and ml mutually kissing, he beat the ml unconscious one-sidedly. But then he also sees mc almost get raped and he controls himself and just glares?? I get there was a ton of guys in the room, but how is it that he’s so chill afterwards compared to seeing mc mutually be with someone? Anyways don’t get me wrong, just cause I’m talking about minwoo doesn’t mean I think the ml is better. It’s obvious ml isn’t good. But it’s annoying when people ignore the 2nd lead’s bad actions just cause they like him more. If anyone met the 2nd irl and was in mc’s position, having an obsessive friend who you don’t romantically like, tell you what to do and controls you, makes you feel scared of their reaction isn’t normal.
On another note the raws are so frustrating rn. MC AND ML are being stubborn asf about not communicating about important things. It just makes everything worse and it doesn’t help that MC keeps making dumb decisions like repeatedly listening to the yellow hair, and meeting up with him.

It's what I've been saying! I never bought the MinWoo hype one bit. The argument between him and JooHyun already got me with prickly feelings.
Right! And the fact that mc felt the need to hide his relationship with ML, because he was scared of 2nd lead’s reaction. It’s not normal to be afraid of your own friend’s reaction. That just shows how controlling he is. And the whole watch dog sequence where he finds out and then tells mc to stop meeting with ml, then monitors him by staying at his place and forcing him to stay home?? He’s acting like mc’s parent smh.
It's so refreshing to finally meet someone who isn't dick riding MinWoo. I genuinely believe he thinks he has some "power" because he's the childhood friend and has a good relationship with JooHyun's sister, it seems. And because of that, he thinks he has authority to be all "parental controls" on JooHyun. Like no, the only person that should be holding those responsibilities is his sister; which she is. There's no reason why you need to be forcing yourself to be a role that's already fulfilled.
You can't even say he's trying to act like JooHyun's parent because he has feelings for JooHyun..which JooHyun is aware of, I'm pretty sure. And by that point, it's not even parent-like behavior, that's just manipulation and obsession.
Not the ppl blaming mc smh. They’re fr blaming him and calling him a whore as if they didn’t read the entire story of him getting raped 24/7, starting as a child by his own brothers. OF COURSE he’ll lead to being hypersexual as a way to cope with everything. The actual idiots down here is crazy. It’s wild how some of those who still read don’t actually have the brain to comprehend what’s going on and who the actual victims are. They’re enraged as mc who is also a victim and is trying to keep ml away from the danger- but also would root for the rapist incest brothers?? Calling mc a whore and hating on him while loving the brothers dynamic bffr
(╬￣皿￣)凸
It’s true mc is really awful and is the textbook bully that peaked in high school, jealous friend. I do think she deserves this. However I also really don’t want to see that fucked up family win either. What I want is to have mc experience the punishment and suffering, while also ruining that family and dragging them to hell with her lmao. It’s like “you go low, I go lower.” Now that would be satisfying and honestly if she manages to bring that family down with a fire revenge, I’d say I’d be cool with her escaping after and just living an independent new life (hopefully changed values and mindset as well).
╮(￣▽￣)╭
Anyways this concept is really interesting. Not many stories have a bad MC. So it’s gonna be pretty intriguing to delve into the mind of mc and see whether it changes.
Oh and though the maid is just as annoying, she’s the only one that actually tells the full truth of what’s going on in the house. So she’d be useful keeping around for info. Maybe she’ll spill secrets that family wouldn’t want to get out
I just checked in on this, and ngl I would’ve liked this without the entire arc of the new long haired dude forcing a marriage. First it was the issue with her first engagement then another engagement. It’s just problem after problem. I gotta be the only person that doesn’t like him lmao, he’s too annoying imo
yeah i agree, they were annoying but useful. the only person that is likeable in this entire is Satoko
It’s not really a love triangle and neither is it a 3p.
It’s a short story and SUPER rushed. MC sleeps with two guys separately and chooses one. Quickly has sex in both scenes and ends quickly. Hardly any “love” shown. The two love interests don’t even know each other or interact.
But then again mc saying he wants to find the man he slept with- just based off the sex, should be expected that mc doesn’t have much deep feelings
The potential this story could’ve had if the author didn’t force the cliche love triangle. We could’ve had a HOT mature(?) side couple. The latest raws chapter with the older brother’s glasses off and him being domineering while pulling tattoo dude closer- GAHH DAMNNN.
Leave the mess of the mc and eunhan to themselves. Nothing I hate more when others get involved with relationship issues that should only be between the two of them.
Anyways I mourn the loss of potential power couple. Author just had to fall into the ways of basic authors using a love triangle for drama.
I agree. They could've just let the Mc and ML and created a side couple for the other 2.
Yeah, and the guy could still help him get away from Korea and even still beat up the ml, just bcz he sees the mc as a brother and also to get some points with the elder brother - nothing much would change except he wouldnt be the third corner...
Yesss I hate the love triangle situation. It's legit a bunch of drama in the making. I don't want it to fall into a situation where the guy fucks the MC's brother but then also gets with MC. Like let's not go there
