this is so peak i can’t believe i accidentally stumbled upon it… plot is so good i flew through the 100+ chapters even when there wasn’t proper romance god i love this
I’m not sure how many analogies one can use but this manhwa was simply like a cheeseburger but there’s only cheese on one side.. if that makes sense.
The beginning was attention grabbing. I liked the setting, the characters *seemed* fairly complex, and I liked the set up of the love triangle even though I’m usually not a fan. Everything was going well even when we discovered how manipulative and tactical the older brother is. I’m a fan of intelligent characters, and even though sirens were going off due to how unhealthily obsessed he was, I liked how he was always two steps ahead. Younger brother was kind of an airhead to me at first, then he started resembling his brother more later on, which i found pretty intriguing because it seemed like he would put up a fight. I thought MC was pretty cute, albeit slightly a pushover, but i know that was an intentional decision from the author. Everything seemed great..
Then we just started going in circles. And circles. And circles. The characters turned one dimensional, i believe it’s partly due to the lack of characters, the author started to back themselves into a corner with the plot points. After all, you can only do so much with a cast consisting of about 5 people (and that’s including the “connector” guy and the ex) I got bored, and despite how unhinged their actions became, they couldn’t undo my boredom. I couldn’t put it down for the first ~35 chapters, then I just could not pick this up again for the life of me.
Even if i complete this, I’m pretty sure i’ll forget about it in 2 days flat. It’s as mediocre as they come, and probably sufficient enough if you have a couple hours of your day to spare or a long flight ahead of you.
andrew got a whole THIRD LEG and luke was asking if he’s the bottom? dw bro we all got the answer now
the way he’s js bleeding out the entire time while they’re doing their regular boom shakalaka time wasting shenanigans has me STRESSING
why is he STANDING there doing NOTHING. His brother is literally some shorty who keeps stabbing mc yet all the crown prince could do was stand there and cry?? even tho i was rooting for him his actions are becoming a little too outlandish to my liking, to the point where i wished carsen was there instead bc it would’ve been over in like 2 seconds (even tho i also am not the biggest fan of carsen bc of his earlier actions in the manhwa) but STILL.
also did the brother suddenly turn stupid? bc he was planning this whole big evil scheme to sweep out the throne from under kaels feet while remaining innocent then proceeded to hold maythan hostage in front of literally the entire academy. guess that cat’s out of the bag LMAO.
i don’t even know whether i like this manhwa anymore but ill continue reading simply bc im too far in to drop it
This story now feels like getting pushed to the dance floor and told to dance by a complete stranger.. you feel me?
I believe it was rushed and couldn’t go over details in the original novel.. but seriously.. the story doesn’t make sense anymore. I am now speed scrolling thru bc i lost hope in trying to make sense of wtf they are talking about.
If anyone has the translated novel link please drop it below!
