I think previous generations had the mindset of showing off their endurance against abuse, mistreatment, something they thought was admirable, or at least something they believed they should bear with. And literature is heavily influenced by this mindset. But now, it just puts people off when they see the abuser becoming the endgame or the nicer second lead losing. I know there are many nuances, and I actually welcome a redemption arc or proper plot, but some manga out there like this one just have no reason to make the ML win, yet end up doing it because the authors can’t take the risk of breaking free from generational literary trauma.
I think more people should talk about how it’s not the 90s anymore, no one tolerates shitty treatment and abuse now.
I usually don’t rate manga here but went out of my way to give it 1 star
Authors shpuld know that it's not 90s and we dont dig bullshits like this anymore
Because we all love this trope

Annett is how I thought Isabella Linton would look like and Heiner is Heathcliff.
Only if Heathcliff loved Isabella as much as Heiner did Σ( ￣□￣||)
good storyline and mentally strong fl.
in this list, you'll see more of a 'mentally strong women', which means smart, cunning, calculative and quick wicked.
i hate it when a 30 yrs old woman gets reincarnated as a 5 yrs old and acts like a baby + extra hate when they have a crush on a 5 yrs old so i'll try my best to not add those weird ass stories and instead add tolerable ones
i delete many of the stories i add later on if they become boring etc. even if they have a strong fl <3
Haha guys don't forget this author did write shitty story like if you hate me so. This one was going so fine, we almost forgot about the author's dark past of redeeming shitty characters
I think byul has a point too? No matter how loved he is, it does leave a bitter taste knowing that he was an accident child and his dad needed to pay his mom to keep him. Moreover, hyesung tried to abandon him but failed cause he was bonded with dojin.
Given the circumstances, even if he's raised with love, I think a troubled teenager boy was supposed to bring it up at times like this argument. He clearly felt bad about it afterwards.
And, as grandma was a taboo subject, his curiosity and the thrill of keeping contact with her is understandable. I don’t think he gets the weight of the situation as a kid(from what I heard, even the author doesn’t).
Real piece of trash here is dojin. I think he doesn’t even understand how he managed to keep hyesung and byul is not the right way. He treated hyesung poorly since they met and he's messing up his(hs) life.
In this whole franchise, hyesung is treated horribly again and again. First by parents, grandparents, and now by partner, son... How unfortunate a guy can be! I think out of everyone, only heesoo treated him as a human being. He was mean and acted selfishly towards hyesung but he never sugarcoated anything and acknowledged his pain.
Uhm no I don’t need a kiss scene, I need dojin's explanation! I think byul already regrets his behaviour and he already keep contact with his grandma so it can't be helped. But Dojin shouldn’t let this happen in the first place! He shouldn’t keep contact with her!!! I would feel so betrayed in this situation
