I better see a fucking chasing arc or else I'm dropping this shit. It has to be a good one 2
I LOVE THIS MANGA IDGAF! people always complain how “she’s still the same” or that “there’s no real chemistry" yet it been shown little by little. Her personality is still timid and she cries a lot but she strong in her own way. She explains this herself how although she’s empathetic and reserved, she can still stand her ground when it matters.
Somewhere along the way, we started hating FL characters like this because they don’t fit the “strong badass fl” which is a physically powerful, fearless, emotionally stoic heroine who never needs help. People claim they want a “strong FL,” yet bash anyone who isn’t bold and loud. But strength comes in many forms. There are countless traits that can define a strong female lead.
True diversity means representing all kinds of women: bold, timid, emotional, logical, nurturing, independent. Hating timid characters is basically gatekeeping what “acceptable” femininity looks like. You’re just creating another restrictive standard for how women should act. For example: “Women shouldn’t be weak or shy they should be bold and fearless.” That’s the same problem as before, limiting women to one personality type.
We as woman has so many conflict emotions and this manga portrays that beautifully. Not to mention they’re teenagers! Do you really expect teens to have perfect communication skills in a relationship? Especially Uka, who’s only just starting to come out of her shell. Kai isn’t perfect either as his past relationships weren’t great. The beauty of their relationship is that they’re trying. Their communication isn’t always verbal, but it’s there in their actions. And at the end of the day, they understand each other and that’s what matters
People saying this is “cringe” forget that it’s supposed to be like that, they’re in high school and still learning. Not to mention, this manga is old! All the characters are different, which is the point: people have different personalities and struggles. The doubts they feel because of outside opinions, and their effort to communicate despite insecurities, show how raw and imperfect they are and that’s what makes it real.
As a hardcore shoujo girly, this is one of my favorites bc it's so old school. It’s exactly what I used to read in middle school, daydreaming, “This will happen to me when I get to high school.” Shoujo was created to comfort young girls even if it’s a little cringe sometimes. It was specifically targeted at school aged girls and was never just about romance. It’s about personal growth, friendship, and hope. Despite the cringe factor, we loved it and that’s the magic of classic shoujo.
Sorry for this long rant but I absolutely adore my old cringe classic shoujo coming from a girl who just graduated!
That the best comment i saw this year i understand tou so much. When its the real life they say we can be introver and timid but when it's fiction we can.
She is strong but at her own away. How can you say she is still the same when she was been bullied by so much time.
yes to all of this!! her character development has been amazing to see, and i admire her quiet strength so much! uka defender for life!
PREACH !!!!!! ┗( T﹏T )┛
I love the fl sm idgaf what anyone say she literally is understandable i lowkey think I am her bro bc i did that to with my crush lol she is so relatable
OMFG IT GIVING SO MUCH "Johnny why couldn't you be ready to? I was ready " BC SHE LIKE TRYING TO GET RID OF THOSE FEELINGS AND HE REALIZED THOSE FEELINGS YK WHAT I MEAN
Too much homo in here make this blue lock but idol instead
so real tbh
I love this so much. They are both bad pplbut I feel bad for all the ppl that got hurt by the ml or mc like the wife or the other actor.
Er could I get recommended something similar to this
I FUCKING HATE ASMIL OMFG. I genuinely feel so fucking bad for Asdion. I can't believe how he puts up with that son of a bitch. Seriously, I fucking hate him. Asdion deserved a different ML, someone better because Asmil is such a bitch bro. Asdion needs someone who genuinely loves him for who he is, not someone he has to chase. The hatred I feel for Asmil is unreal. I actually feel so fucking bad for Asdion. Their chemistry almost made me stop reading the damn novel.
Bro, people who keep trying to justify the MC’s actions just don’t get it . Like yeah, you can totally understand his situation and what he went through but that still doesn’t give him the right to say all that.
His hyung was genuinely worried and treated him well. You can empathize with what he’s been through and still admit that the way he acted wasn’t right, especially considering how kind they were to him
Doesnt matter when all of it looks fake like its meant for another. He knows he is going to have to kill himself in a year or two depending on the story. You are the one who doesnt get it
Gurl everyone know he’s dealing with heavy stuff including depression and addiction and the whole thing in the real word and fake world. But that doesn’t erase how his hyung treated him. Just because he’s in pain doesn’t mean he gets a free pass to lash out at the people who care. You can be hurting and still be held accountable for how you treat others i fear that basic common sense
You either havent haven’t been that low in the dumps where you purposefully do hurtful things to others to hurt and isolate yourself or you simply are incapable of sympathy and i fear that is more scary than lashing out at your brother/ stand in brother. What accountability he knows what he did. Literally just 31 chapters are out you make it seem like MC is just some careless ignorant fool. Istg yall have been reading way too many transmigration fics where the MCs have it all easy and flowery for too long now that we get something angsty and a real shot at something that has the potential to be different this is how you people behave
I’ve been in dark places too, and I do understand that people lash out when they’re hurting. Obviously we're human. I’m not saying the MC is heartless or beyond saving. I’m saying it’s possible to recognize his pain and still admit that what he said or did to someone who cared for him wasn’t okay. Accountability doesn’t mean villainizing him it just means acknowledging the impact of his actions, even if he regrets them.
Also, I’m not expecting a happy, flowery story. I like the angst and complexity. I actually want a raw and messy story. But that includes acknowledging his pain without ignoring how his actions affect others, not just brushing things off because 'he’s sad or he hurt'
Like i say before you start saying stuff like "You obv haven't been in a low dump" when u don't know me i know that people lash out when they’re hurting. But understanding where someone’s coming from doesn’t mean ignoring the impact of what they did.
For ex if your mom had a really traumatic life and ended up projecting all that pain onto you. You’d understand why she became that way, but that doesn’t mean you just forget how it affected you or how much it hurt. Same thing with the MC, his pain is real, but so is the pain he caused his hyung.
And I never said he was careless or evil. You make it sound like i wrote it that way. I’m saying he knows what he did, like you said but that doesn’t make the hurt go away, and it doesn’t mean people can’t feel conflicted about his actions. Wanting him to be held accountable isn’t the same as hating him.
I think there will be acknowledgement in the future. Im pretty sure of it bcs its just too early in the story right now. So lets be patient bcs i actually think MC might be the ogbottom he just has askew memory and is gonna regret a lot of the things he is doing rn
It's not all because he's sad or hurt. He literally doesn't know these people. He won't get close to him because he feels like that would be wrong since it's not really him they want but the person he's replaced. He's also worried about his sister because, as far as he knows, she's all alone having to deal with the abusive situation at home. He also wants the actual child of the parents in this world be good and not worry them. Taking the bus for hours to come see him and not telling them makes them worry, and even though he can't act as their child to put them at ease, he wants their actual child to do it.
I think I get that... like I say he’s dealing with heavy stuff including depression and addiction and the whole thing in the real word and fake world including other stuff. My whole point has been that his trauma and reasoning are valid, but they don’t erase the hurt he caused.
You can absolutely appreciate his reasoning and still admit that the things he said or how he acted had consequences. I’m not expecting him to play happy family, it’s about recognizing that the people around him, like his hyung, cared in their own way, and he hurt them whether he meant to or not.
Understanding someone doesn’t mean you have to excuse the pain they cause, both can exist at the same time.
I used to think the way he handle his brother was bad too but now after reading a lot of horrible books.
We only look from one side of the story.
Not evry human are kind or bad. Some may be two faced or some are extremely kind while having a scary face.
We re judging too fast on things what we see.
My opinion.. I just dont like the little brother cause he was rude to ML while not knowing him personally. Also rude for entering someone's private home. My sister in law also enters my bedroom without care while Im sleeping naked.
FUCK ALL THESE BITCHES AND ALL THESE HOE OMFG FUCK EVERYONE IN THIS STORY MAY THEY ALL GO TO HELL
