The fact that the same author of debut or die wrote a horror story gave me whiplash, this story is whimsy with tidbits of drama here and there. While the other one was suspenseful. Also for some reason, that made me imagine the members of TeStar being in a horror movie scenario (they’re going to die for sure)

Ahh I just read the first chapter. The fact that it's a horror story yet the writing feels really similar makes me feel like I'm still reading about the same universe.
I'm pre sure 'Got dropped into a ghost story' was also referenced in Debut or Die as well but very very far in to the novel (around the last part)... actually TeStar eventually does run into a couple of horror movie related scenarios which kept me up at night lol. I'm not surprised the author can write horror.

Hiii im here to revive this comment section just to say I just finished Part 1 because its freaking good ahhhhhhhhh!!!
I had so many complicated feelings reading it because I’m terrible with horror so even when I want to stop thinking about the story because it’s scary, I still think about it because it’s good ╥﹏╥

It is so obvious on who the ML is. Many korean comics tend to focus more on the black haired guy instead of the blonde one. Also, Haeil has more screen time than Minjae which is also noted. Bro, Minjae needs to zippppp, I feel so bad for him even though he lowkey is my type (free him) But I know that Giju will choose Haeil in the end since he’s been there since the beginning. But overall this story isn’t that bad

I know girls like this exist in real life but reading about this is giving me some second hand embarrassment That I had to pause multiple times. I mean that one girl who said she was stupid for doing all of that for a GUY??? She’s right, girl STAND UPPPPPP wdym you wrote some random guy’s COLLEGE STATEMENT??? Idk what that is in Korea but I’m assuming its like a college essay. BROOO stand up, like pleaseee
I know she’s supposed to act stupid at first because it’s crucial for her character development but goddamn like what are you doinggggg.

Overall I don’t want Crochetta to have any sort of endgame with any other person. However, I do wish that she forms some sort of platonic connection with Amory, the other transmigrator in the story. Maybe its because I really like transmigrator duos in stories idk. Anyways, he had like 1-2 chapters of screen time but out of all people, he is the one who knows the true identity of Crochetta and knows why the way she is (charm stat). Plus, because he knows about the charm stat and that MC is a player of the game he’d probably have a stronger willpower to not be taken by the charm??? I mean MC threatened him to not be charmed with her and it worked since he stopped being flirty immediately after, so he’d probably understand how she’s feeling.
I feel bad for MC because its scary and lonely for her to fend for herself. I just find the thought a bit comforting if MC were to commiserate and feel a bit better with Amory who is another korean. Maybe another person from her world will make her stay sane. (

It's better for her to be single, she doesn't know what healthy relationship looks like and all the characters are crazy and dumb AF, especially the FL. From the moment she turned the stat charm into max, we can already get a glimpse why was she a loser IRL. The genre leans towards horror/thriller/Psychological rather than romance and the niche is sadomasochistic obsession. I keep reading because it's intense actually, I can feel the thrill and scared for her situation and the art is gorg.
None of the ML were normal to begin with and all of them are selfish, a perfect representation of what men IRL acts and thinks. For some naive readers like the FL would easily fall for someone like Roger but he is just the "nice guy" who acts righteous and though but a lot of them are the same in their core. They don't love the FL, they lusted her and why deep down, they don't want her to lose her charm because those charm made them feel the thrill of being high in lust.
The MC is also dumb which is why her situation keeps getting worse, she doesn't know how to fully wield her power but instead keep depending on others. She is not badass in my eyes.

I don’t know how far you are within the story. But she gets better, I mean to meher decisions are valid and make sense for the narrative she is in but I can see why she kinda looks stupid?? (Even the FL acknowledges her decisions and mistakes out of self-guilt) I mean to be fair she is a horror MC, and horror MCs have to make dumb decisions in order for the story to be entertaining, plus she has no solution to her curse so she has to do some crazy stuff in order for the story to go forward. But in further chapters she wielded her power to manipulate others to do her bidding so there’s that in a positive way

Tbh she has average intelligence and it makes sense considering how she always wanted love so it makes sense she doesn’t know how to handle relationships or people.
Either way most people wouldn’t be acting all calm and collected and most likely would definitely make dumb choices. High emotions usually make you illogical after all. So I’m glad they made her the average person…well kinda? Since it seems a lot of people would commit sea side at this point ig?

If that's average intelligence to you, I feel sad for you. The FL is already a working adult yet thinks like someone who is in highschool. Emotions doesn't make a person dumb tho, the FL is just dumb to begin with. If I were the company she is working with, I would definitely fire her. No wonder she got sucked in to the game.
I hope you are not one of those brain rot readers who keep defending the protagonist and cannot actually see the problem here.

It makes sense? No one should be shamed because of their choices but guided on to why those choices are the wrong ones.
If anything I find her actions not being good, but I’m not in her situation so it would be insensitive to act like “I would’ve done things differently” especially since I’m very much emotionally stable reading this.
It is a fact when people are heighten in emotions they tend not think logically which is very human. You’re human too I’m sure you’ve made mistakes before and made dumb choices.
. I recommend reading some psychology so you’ll have a better understanding and be more sensitive to people. Because the way you’re talking about people isn’t right either.

If you find her actions not good then no point on saying my words earlier were wrong at all. No need to defend wrong things and tell me to read books when you can't even provide any theories or models to based your reply from lol. I'm not trying to be insensitive to her situation, I'm just calling out bullshit.

Why can’t there be a light novel of this, this story is tooooo good. I don’t feel like waiting for another week for a new chapter ╥﹏╥

Also imo, seeing people this passionate about this story even though I’m reading this story casually is crazy.
Like honestly, Ethian is a pos, but like idc about him. Same with Roger and the duke, like to me they’re just there to highlight or emphasize how scary/powerful the charm points are since they all act crazy because of it. So its kinda funny seeing people emotionally engrossed in this story. I just want Crochetta to find her OWN freedom AWAY from those guys
The ML and the FL lowkey reminds me of Rafayel and MC from love and deepspace. But their positions are reversed
Rafayel mentioned omgg Raven resembles hom but Rafayel is a lot more baby girl
