These readers paranoia rubbed off on me. Ppl being scared and talking about how they think the mom jumped due to the “thud” sound, which I never even noticed the first time so I had to go back to even check. Then someone else smartly talking about if she jumped it would’ve been a “splash” instead of thud lmaooo. Then checked the latest raw chapter:

She didn’t jump. So conclusion- y’all gotta stop spreading your paranoia sheeeeeesh. It reminds me of when Pearl boy ended and people were so adamant about wanting to believe the two mcs died lol.
So I saw the latest raw chapters. And note that this may not be accurate as I didn’t bother to translate everything:
So once again Gunner shows up, this time to Theo’s office.They talk. I can only hope that gunner was threatening Theo to go out on a date with him, otherwise Theo made a dumb decision to agree to go with him while gunner is spouting nonsense saying “I’ll change, give me a chance.” Theo ends up going to dinner with him and riding in the car with him, and then of course guess where that ends up. Another SA. Theo panics upon seeing some random dude come up to them and it reminds him of when he was attacked so he has a panic attack, gunner waves a gun around, gunner kisses Theo, and Theo calms down. Gunner says some more stuff and and uses his gun to kinda open up theo’s clothes, then let’s go of the gun and then calls his men to block the area so he can have sex with Theo in the car. It could be rape as Theo may not want it, but at this point Theo doesn’t resist at all anymore, if anything he has a heart-to-heart talk while in the middle of gunners dick up his ass and caressing gunner cheek saying “I loved you, you loved me back then, now it’s just obsession, this isnt right.”
I’m not trying to victim blame but damn, I wish Theo put up a fight instead of tried to talk it through. Gunner probably won’t give up until someone’s dead in my opinion, talking it through with the man who beat you and SA you isn’t the smartest idea.
I looked through the comment pages and all ppl talk about is twink this and twink that, as if both bodies have a ginormous difference when they nearly look exactly the same except for hair color and face design. I would get it if the bodies were widely different but they really aren’t. Even so, as someone who loves more masculine and buff mc/bottom, it is pretty annoying when ppl always bring up being upset over twinkification. It’s like their body is the only focus of the entire story. His original body is disintegrated, LETS MOVE ON PLSSS.
When ppl keep bringing this topic up, it sounds like those readers who only care so much about appearance, sexual positions, and body type over the characters personality themselves or actual plot. Y’all been saying this since the start of the story like it’ll change anything.
I checked out the raws and ngl I’m confused but that’s probably due to it being untranslated to me. It has 85 chapters but the ending seems abrupt. The end of the chapter doesn’t even say “the end” it sounds like the two mai characters were still conversing. I also looked at the authors note and it sounds like the author is apologizing for disappointing the readers. Idk whether that means they’re sorry for making an ending that readers may not like or if they’re sorry because they unexpectedly discontinued the story, hence why the ending is abrupt.
I checked and saw the future chapters and the art changes throughout the story in both this season and the second season.
╥﹏╥
I personally think the best art was the early chapters. It looks like it’s the same artist too and I guess they’re just experimenting/developing their art. But tbh the early art gives a more soft and detailed style, their face shapes also look more rounded compared to the later art that makes it more sharp. It’s fine if that’s what the artist wants to change their art to, but ngl I’m convinced many korean authors/artists succumb to mainstream art. Like the ideal is to have the cleanest lines and simple style of art that is most popular rather than softer, sketch, unique styles. It’s like the ideals of all Korean authors now follow the mainstream Pearl boy, jinx, painter of the night style. See the theme? Nobody wanna have a different style anymore because those two are believed to be the best. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen an author change their art to the popular style.
(⌒▽⌒)
Ngl this gotta be one of the most mid revenge stories I’ve ever read (if you can even call it that). It’s more so smut + drama. Usually when revenge or justice is included in a story there’s a lot planned, but the situation was resolved so easily and it wasn’t even due to the ML or FL’s idea lmfao. I guess it’s realistic in a way that a person doesn’t get automatically smarter and knows exactly what to plot and do to get revenge, seeing as both ML and FL didn’t grow up with any of that kind of skill.
I hate to admit it I really do- but if the two antagonist characters were not as bad and took out the cheating bit entirely, they could’ve been the better main characters with a villain-like personality, based off cunningness and intelligence alone. I even felt like the author themself liked the antagonists more with how much screentime they got. It is pretty disappointing expecting and hoping for both FL and ML to get smarter and not happen. I wouldn’t recommend reading again or at all if any new readers expect a good revenge story.
As someone who constantly watches gaming youtubers and streamers, it is pretty funny that majority of the readers here know nothing about gaming and the norm lol. To those who don’t play or watch gaming, they think it’s crazy to be on call with the opposite gender for hours. When irl, it is the norm. Conversing with a friend no matter if it’s the opposite gender while gaming is normal for gamers.
It’s just so annoying for specific shoujo readers to rage at the slightest thing the ML does that makes them upset and considers it a red flag. The reason I bring up some shoujo readers is typically those who only read shoujo praise green flag flawless MLs and go insane and nitpick at any flaw or wrong the ML does. Yamada has been the most mature during their entire relationship to the point I think people forget he’s younger and this is his very first relationship. He has no experience and never was interested in dating or girls before akane. He will not know the norm of a relationship because he has never even cared about the topic before meeting akane. He doesn’t have any close girl friends to get advice or speak about such things.
Yamada has an important competition for a game, the reason why he’s even gaming with the other girl is because she’s his competitor. He’s trying to learn the most he can so he can beat her. Playing with your competitor can help you learn things such as their play style and other tips they have to get better. It’s no different than watching your opponent to find out their weaknesses. He hardly even speaks more than a few words when talking to her and is mostly listening while gaming. He is unaware that talking on the phone while gaming with the opposite gender is odd for some because that IS the norm in gaming. All his friends also didn’t think it was odd because they all regard the girl like a man.
-
People say that he should be more aware and that he’s insensitive due to akane being cheated on before. He’s always been trying to resolve anything akane has a problem with, he’s quick to cut off a friend for her during that time when he started college. He is not perfect. This is his first relationship. He will not know every situation that may cause a misunderstanding. (This part isn’t towards akane as I am not blaming her, this is more for readers who have this mindset): I get being considerate towards a partner who has been cheated on, but not everyone will or should be on high alert 24/7 due to their partner’s trust issues. You shouldn’t be paranoid and avoid contact with the opposite gender cause of your partners trust issues. That’s not something you should always cater to. That’s something the partner needs to work on. Trust is fundamental in a relationship and just cause you have trust issues from your past relationship, you shouldn’t make your partner feel the need to be paranoid to make you feel better. That kind of relationship will become exhausting. Just imagine a man got cheated on in his past relationship, getting mad at you for interacting with guy friends, you’d be fed up at some point.
ML is so odd. It’s like he’s nice to MC within his own mind but on the outside he treats MC rudely. Idk why he bothers putting on such an act when his thoughts don’t match
I was hoping for this to get translated.
Crazy bottom x crazy top.
Reminds me of red mansion with the dynamic. It’s a shame that it’s a short story (like 15 or 14 chapters?)

The thing is I feel like there’s an addition that wasn’t necessary? It involves the blondie that ML used to be in a relationship with + the black haired crazy dude that sounds like he sponsors blondie. Idk if the author plans or planned to add more to the story or if they just randomly put them in there. They added backstory to the black haired sponsor when it had no relevance to the main couple.
Since it’s untranslated I’m not too sure about the exact relationship and timeline. It looks like ML was in a relationship with blondie, whom is a childhood friend. They seemed to be in a loving relationship until ML caught blondie fcking with the black haired sponsor. ML also knew about MC stalking him since the beginning, since 7 years ago. The thing I’m confused about is if he was in a relationship with blondie during that time or was that after he found out blondie cheated? Cause it looks like ML also gained an interest in MC over time and let him stalk him, etc.

Sorry for spamming but I’m trying to prevent new readers from seeing spoilers. It’s absolutely ridiculous that the very first page of comments had at least 5 people spoiling without care.
For those who are caught up, pls don’t spoil for those who have yet to read it. You’re ruining the experience for others and sure, it’s the new readers responsibility to resist the comments section since it’s inevitable there will always be an untagged spoiler. But some genuinely just wanna know a brief impression to see if it’s worth a read.

For any new readers, you choose whether to judge and try reading this after looking at the spoilers. Or you can see my short impression without spoiling:
So I wasn’t expecting anything out of this story. The cover didn’t wow me, there was no description, and I thought I was just gonna have another baby FL story to add to the long list with the others. Despite this, I checked it out as I usually do out of boredom. And it’s safe to say I REALLY enjoy this story. It stands out due to calling out ridiculous tropes in multiple regression/transmigration into a kid stories. It’s cute and I love the family dynamics and portrayal of different personalities in the characters.
Now I’ll get into detail of the exact parts I enjoy which does include enjoyable spoilers if you haven’t read:
-
-
-
-
-
So FL becomes a baby after dying in her past life. The story actually makes her a baby with no ability to talk, walk, etc. She can’t speak at all and is like a normal baby. She can only speak as she actually grows up naturally. She decides at one point to not speak even when she’s technically able to speak some words cause she feels embarrassed about her pronunciation as a toddler. But even when she does finally choose to speak for the first few times, she makes sure to say a few words, as well as her pronunciation isn’t fluent. She pointed out exactly how odd it would be for a baby to suddenly speak fluently. Another instance is when she makes a new recipe no one has ever heard of, she chooses to come up with a simple recipe with already existing tools and known ingredients. She knows she’d be called a genius and doesn’t want to stand out like that if she did more (like in all those other stories). There’s a plot point that gets revealed where she realized she transmigrated into a story. And she realizes the FL and ML and acknowledges she already made changes to the story before she realized and it may be possible that the FL and ML don’t meet, and then goes on to be like “oh well! Maybe it’s better that way. Happier without the drama of that.” She doesn’t give af about bringing the main characters together lol.
Onto the family dynamics, not what you’d expect from another concubine and the emperor. Not all concubines in the harem is malicious. And the emperor is not completely cold and neglectful. He’s portrayed in a very human-like way that has suffered loss many times with both wife and children. This gives him reason for why he may have been distant in the beginning but quickly opens up once shown a new perspective. This isn’t even all the points that I enjoy but I can only fit so much lmao.
Now onto the tragic mess in the recent chapters:
-
-
-
-
Tragedy of course befalls them, with I can only assume is the doing of the only villains already shown in the story. It was obvious. There’s only one group in the palace that wants an opportunity to take out all rivals. My thing is, as someone who has watched tragic shows, I don’t believe someone’s dead unless their dying moment and face is shown on screen. Any death said to be off screen has potential to be alive. Maybe that’s just my delulu talking cause I can’t accept it. But I’m also holding onto the hope that this one single spoiler is true:
-
-
-
That the crown prince is alive and is just in hiding. Relayed by a comment on b&TO. That’s literally the only info said. It’s not confirmed by any spoiler thread and the commenter also said that they saw the spoiler from tt- which is not a reliable source at all. So don’t be 100% sure about this “spoiler” but I can only hope it’s true.
