Okay this is for ppl who can get past the worst of it (is desensitized/has a tolerance) and are still interested in reading. Because the redemption arc fr makes me think the ML has become more human-like. To the point that he seems like an entirely different person. (Don’t get it twisted, ik he’s not a green flag even if he went through character development. I just think it’s interesting how compared to most other toxic MLs after redemption, they’re usually busy being all gentlemanly and sweet and that’s it. While the ML here does that too, but also shows his weakness to MC as well. He’s like an open book now).

When I say he cries a lot, I mean he CRIES A LOT, even after he gets together with the mc again. He shows his vulnerable side a lot more. I will say, seeing the chapter where they take their babies for a vaccination and the ML is just crying cause their kids are crying, is sooo funny. Every single time the kids cry, he cries.

Side note: I know I already commented this before, but I’d like to randomly mention I still think the rings ML prepared for MC here, are the best I’ve ever seen in a BL manhwa. Not particularly because of the design being stunning, but the meaning behind it and how it includes their kids on the rings as well.

They love the slave trader and not the other guy just cause he’s “boring.” It’s early af to tell. And honestly even I can tell he’s the docile puppy type, not the energetic puppy type.

Soo I saw a post about eiser and diah, and people were shipping them, and putting all the blame on the dad alone.

Initially I’d agree since of course part of the reason he’s like this is cause of the dad. HOWEVER, eiser and the brother (ngl I forgot his name) were both raised by the dad and taught about his terrible ways. They BOTH also had good influences in their life like eiser and the lawyer(?) (I forgot, but it’s the dude that was killed), and diah for the brother. Yet you can see how different they ended up. They chose how to act and what path to go down at the end of the day. Eiser sided with his mother and saw his father for the monster he was. And the brother sided with his dad with his admiration for him, abandoning his mother. Then of course, the brother had plenty of chances to change. And he just made worse choices and dug himself a deeper hole.

So it just solidifies that people can have similar ways they’re raised but choose for themselves how they want to be.

So I said it before, but as shown, this is a story that two authors worked on hand in hand, with the same characters. So it’s basically an AU. In the other story (kwak hajun observation diary), the mc was playing a zombie game in the first chapter, that had the character look exactly like the ML (I think it was like a romance game set in a zombie apocalypse). They ended up together in kwak hajun observation diary, and so it looks like here, the mc awoke from a dream where he thought they were the characters in that zombie universe.

I can see WHY people don’t like the ML. However the reasons of it being “he sleeps around” or “he uses women for sex” is the most ridiculous reason I’ve ever heard. Y’all are reading a SMUT manhwa first and foremost, sleeping around should be expected. It’s extremely rare for a smut manhwa to have the ML be a virgin. Yall should have expected it because this is a smut, not a regular romance fluff story.

And the second reason being “he uses women for sex.” Are yall actually reading or only seeing what you want to see? Why are you all talking like he’s a scumbag who breaks women’s hearts or plays with their feelings one-sidedly. From what has been shown so far, the sex friends are MUTUAL. Those specific girls CHOSE to have sex with him too, and were also having fun with the sex. The pink bob chick literally went to him to have sex even as she has someone (if I remember correctly?). The tutor who was a grown adult woman seducing a teenager before he even made a move, was in it to bang him too. And that girl sitting on his lap in the classroom was likely having fun on it too. Y’all can hate a guy for being a fckboy, but saying he uses women like it’s one-sided, is when you got the facts wrong.

Those two reasons have gotta be the dumbest things I’ve heard. The more valid reasons for why people don’t like him, would be how he treated FL and acted cold, or in general being caught with girls face to face. Now THAT I could understand, because realistically I would be turned off if my crush- or someone I developed feeling for later, was someone who I walked in on, getting it on (or implying) with other girls on 3 separate occasions.

So it looks like the story only has one chapter left until the ending (Korean site). The good thing is the other part of the story is quite happy and is just some sweet family time

I can see how the FL is unlikable lmao. Let’s face it, if the roles were reversed, the readers would hate the ML if he acted the way FL does. They’d say “sure, he has trauma but that doesn’t give him the right to act so rude all the time! FL should just find a better man!” The best reasoning most defenders of this FL, is to continuously tie her every word and action to trauma. It’s an excuse they give for any possible negative behavior she has.

She acts cold and like the ML is a bother when SHE’S the one who needs him for her revenge. She’s the one that approached him first, kissed him without consent on the first meeting, and set him up to be photographed and put in an article more than once. She made the offer first to get married for benefit, but she acts bothered when the ML puts in the effort. She acts like every cold ML in marriage contract stories. I just hate it when characters who truly are rude for no good reason towards ppl who did nothing to harm them.

Edit: Gotta say that I could only continue reading this because of the revenge plot and the ML. The FL is actually insufferable. She’s always finding problems with the ML even when he’s shown her nothing but care the entire time. She’s a hypocrite and victimizes herself. She even had the audacity to say the ML “killed her” when she was the dumbass who ran into the road in the first place. She has so many stupid moments that it makes me think the ML’s sister would be a better and more entertaining protagonist than her.

chocobuun created a topic of Jungle Juice

Brooo I hate this development. The fact that they had long-time villains in the story killed off by a newly transformed op villain character irritates me sooo bad. The writing would be better if this was something that was shown early in the story and built up on step by step, then revealed. But the fact that the ex was suddenly one of the most op antagonists as soon as she was turned after 100+ chapters in, is ridiculous. The other powerful villains that couldn’t even be defeated by the main group, was easily killed off by her alone. It just seems like poor writing. It’s the same case with the previous number 1 student being introduced and killed off in one chapter.

Just the fact that the crew of villains were thrown away, makes it feel like any development of the supporting hero characters won’t get that time to shine by defeating them one on one. I honestly think they should’ve kept the purple haired girl in the story as the main supporting villain instead of the ex. It would make way more sense that way. To me they basically threw away any development to substitute the main villain girl with someone who had a connection to the mc. I genuinely think the author put more effort into buffing the villains than actually progressing the powers of the hero group.

chocobuun created a topic of Wish You All the Best

It’s nice to see that the cold ML turns into a big crybaby after the development. He cries so much now lmao. Which I think is a nice way to show that he’s become more vulnerable and shows those side to the mc now.

I get ppl still being mad and some are confused as to why he suddenly switched up. But I think the turning point was where the mc granted the wish thing(?) I guess to him, it was like the way it ultimately proved MC’s love for him, and that’s why the ML trusted in him and changed.

This story is definitely for ppl who have a tolerance for red/black flag stories. It’s optional, that I think if they want to skip over the worst part but still know what went on, start on season 2. This is one of the few where it does feel like there was development and it felt like the ML went on to continue proving that later on. It’s also satisfying in a way, cause MC could visibly see him suffering with his own eyes and get his own satisfaction and not just meet the changed ML later without knowing how he suffered like most other stories.

I’m rereading and I do think it’s funny how the manhwa made it more PG. In the novel when her brother shoved her into the mirror, it was said she was covered in blood and couldn’t even walk and had to be carried by the brunette knight. In the manhwa they gave her a single streak of blood going down her face. Even looking at izek side by side in the same scene, he’s more bloodied than her. Which makes me think that the artist may have wanted to keep her “pretty state” even when she’s injured lmao.

It reminds me of those Chinese dramas where they make the female leads never look bad, have a full face of makeup, hair done, while just having a single streak of blood going down their mouth to show she’s critically injured while staying beautiful

I saw even majority Korean comments are talking about missing heowoon (the white hair guy). Along with that one person saying they prefer the prosecutor lmfao

chocobuun created a topic of Royal Wedding (Bamilssi)

So it does look like they’re following the novel spoilers. It does not look like the 2nd life will be any better. I’d say the ML gets worse, but the circumstances involving the long haired dude is better. Long haired dude is no longer the threat but the ML makes even worse decisions and puts mc in another world of pain.

Parents need to be disowned. They’re useless and stupid.

Comment sections like this are always so disappointing to see imo. You get a drama story and when drama is shown, readers are baffled. It really just proves my belief that specific shoujo readers cannot stomach flawed male love interests. I mean see how they’re so quick to disregard any internal struggles the male lead has? And yet their priority is love and wanting the FL to be in a relationship lmfao. They’re really like, “srsly? Mommy issues? Who cares, anyways can we get to the FL dating who I want already?!” Where is the ao haru ride fans that actually can handle flawed male leads? It’s more sad to see how rare it is when audiences know the content they’re reading and try to understand the characters.

These are the kind of readers who only like perfect men who’s entire being must be focused on the FL and worship the ground she walks on, never to make her (or the reader) sad/upset. It’s these readers that are the reason why majority of the romance genre is flooded with one-dimensional Male Leads who have no flaws at all, and are bland. Why do you think writers see this and the top types of male leads in the genre are:

-quiet and cold guy that only has eyes/is nice to the fl
-puppy type
-gentleman type

And these male leads all have their world revolving around the FL. It makes these huge fan bases soo happy to see the FL be the center of the ML’s entire life. The ML’s thoughts are actually being shown, his inner conflict and contradictory thoughts/actions, which are so realistic. When the author actually writes about a flawed ML and his struggles, no one cares. To these shoujo readers, they only allow female mc’s to be flawed and have struggles and will only show understanding in that case. I never understand readers like this who know they can’t handle flawed love interests yet still choose to read the story and just yap about how much they hate the other main character while dreaming about the man they want and how they think they know better than the FL. Like bffr, if you were in her shoes, you’d crash out and have your dream shattered the one moment the 2nd lead does something you don’t like.

chocobuun created a topic of His Sweet Aroma

I was surprised by how soft and woke this story is. It really surprised me that they actually took topics seriously and mentioned it when most mangas brush off those things. It’s also a shock that the FL is the one to have so much common sense lol.

Things like:
-FL telling off her editor that it would be sexual harassment if she hit on her housekeeper.

-FL telling off her editor that writing about her housekeeper and modeling him as a sex worker is bad (also included switching the genders)

-FL telling ML that it’d be inappropriate to sleep together due to her being his employer, that she holds authority over him

-FL pointing out that ML’s past as a minor being with adult women, was bad cause he could’ve gotten hurt and those women would be arrested.

-FL saying how writing about ML could make him feel terrible about it later on when he sees it as a reader or hears about other talking about it.



Although it is a pretty big age gap, at least FL is at least aware and communicates these serious things with ML.

Uhh

I can’t say I feel that bad about Ari. She’s 27 years old and has been shown several hints of how uninterested he is. She’s broke down twice (the first time she saw he was living with FL, and the second when he walked out on her recently). I genuinely don’t think she’s this naive, I think she also is just in denial and wants to believe he’s interested in her like she is to him. She’s also been pushing for a baby since they first started hooking up. I wouldn’t be that surprised if she tried to poke holes in the condoms lmao. It is pretty wild how she’s also irresponsible at her age. (When she told mincheol if they should just crash her car so she can ask her dad for a new one. Aka she knows her dad adores her and takes advantage of that)
