This is such a masterclass of storytelling
The growth, the realness of it all. I regret not being able to read this for the first time again.
Exactly. My thoughts too
sure jaekyung is an asshole, but im sure as all hell that when you get approached by the enemy team and get offered something like that, you sure as hell report that back that type of interaction
what's currently frustrating me is that dan doesn't seem to have any agency over the plot, things just 'happen' to him, he gets forced into a corner and cowers until another thing makes the decision for him
all these comments about mc restraining humself, while i'm out here squealing about getting picked up like they weigh NOTHING!!!! that's so sexy?????
it's insane that i'll be the same age as them in 5 years too
it hurts how real this all feels? we can sit here and judge the characters for doing something stupid cause we have the advantage of hindsight and omnipresence, but the way they were written opens up the same wounds i got from previous relationships
the fear of slowly falling out of love with someone, or how the things you've loved about them are now the things you hate, being in a relationship that makes you feel spent and tired and empty after every fight
hopefully, anyone who reads it finds comfort in the fact that they're not characters in a story where everything follows certain tropes or story structures and that you will find the love that'll make you feel like you're enough as a person :)
Damn, right in the feels
it's so funny to me how mc just thinks about it for a bit and was like "yeah I'm into men too ig"
Frr open minded headass bro
I genuinely love the trope of the 'bitch' archetype becoming friends with the FL. I eat that trope right up.
First off, this is a genuinely well-written and well-paced series. You will have little to no regrets in reading this. I genuinely enjoyed my time reading it.
With that all out of the way, read this if you're a fan of slow burn without all the pesky side drama that comes with it. It's a fake relationship premise, but all the drama regarding misunderstandings and past baggage gets resolved quickly. That could be a pro or con, depending on your tastes. It doesn't frontload a lot of drama, so at specific points, the plot feels too easy, so take that as you will when you read it.
