Yes, yes we all know that the loan shark will most likely turn into the bad guy so the guy with the hair in his face can go back to the one who’s basically the root cause of his emotional attachment issues, but I can still prefer him to be with the loan shark.
I wish the author surprised us and allowed the guy with the hair in his face to grow strong and independent without having to go back to his ex, though. Part of me wants his ex to want him again, but for Hair in His Face to have grown past that. If he truly wants revenge, that would be the best one.
Otherwise I’m not a fan of the whole revenge plotline.
- MC’s perspective: He’s pissed because blue eyes lied to him about needing help to study. By helping blue eyes, the MC didn’t study as much as he otherwise could’ve, so now he failed his class and will lose his scholarship as a result. All the money he has left in his account, is just enough to cover rent, so he won’t be able to pay for next semester of school, but he refuses to borrow money from blue eyes—as he’s too proud to do that. He feels betrayed and says that they don’t belong together, so he ended things between them, even though he’s all heartbroken about it since he’s already in love with blue eyes.
- Blue eyes’ perspective: He has always been a top student, but he lied to the MC by saying that he needed help with studying so he could be around him. His reasoning is that this was the only way he could stay close to the MC since the MC wouldn’t let him be close to him otherwise. He says that they already had plans of them graduating from high school together and going to the same university together before the MC could start working as his company’s lawyer, so why derail things now? He asked MC to just take his money so he can pay his tuition fees and he’s okay with the MC paying him back whenever he can, but as I said in the previous paragraph, the MC is too prideful for that. Plus he feels betrayed.
Ty for this
Reading this, I had to think about someone I know who truly only learned to love their kid after they got to know them. Not everyone has that natural instinct where they can love another being by just knowing that they’re a part of themselves. Heck, that could be exactly why the emperor was able to think of them being alive or dead as something that can be dealt with as emotionlessly as he deals with some other aspects of his life. One’s upbringing and one’s perception of one’s self can sometimes play a major role in how they react to their offspring.
I personally like the emperor for not being some kind of Prince Charming in disguise and I like that some of the theories I had about him having the character he now has, will be proven true. **Emperor’s backstory incoming in chapter 22**
I love how we actually get to discover Duke Castillo now. Hopefully they’ll keep that going because it took us almost 100 chapters before we started having our fill of him to begin with. I’m really loving what I’m seeing so far and I’m looking forward to another timeskip so Lippe gets old enough to date.
Also I’m hoping the actual plot line will gain some serious traction soon, because I’m not exactly sure about what the whole singing folk songs thing has to do with ultimately preventing her family’s demise. Like I vaguely remember that there’s was a whole thing about the church and where her bakery was built, but there’s really nothing concrete for me to hold on to.
So I binged all 36 chapters today.
I love the concept for this story (see summary). It’s psychological with just the right dose of supernatural that isn’t hard for anyone to understand. I like how the author chose to use a supernatural concept to basically explain what it’s like for the FL to go through an identity crisis in a way that’s both beautiful and intriguing.
Along the way, I realized it was much more than that, though. At first I thought well, basically she just has to learn that growing and changing is just a natural part of life. But then when I really thought about it, I realized that it’s not exactly the same thing because (not a spoiler: the info is literally in the summary): she actually dies before she can be reborn. It’s a whole different thing. Our sense of self gets fk’d up enough when we go through an identity crisis, but what she’s going through is on a whole other level. DYING before she’s reborn? Then having to wonder if you’re still you and coming to terms with that? No way it’s an easy pill to swallow and so we get to see her going through that journey.
Then add that complexity to the other equally complexed characters and it makes for a captivating read. I definitely recommend y’all give this a chance.
SIDE NOTE: I ship her with Heejae.
Wait, are we actually supposed to feel it’s okay for Maria to be openly and shamelessly lusting after her friend’s fiancé just because we know that the friend isn’t actually in love with him? Because it’s seriously rubbing me the wrong way. The girl’s making me wish this was a harem and the FL ended up with all the guys.
Yes I am very uncomfortable. Even if we know that the MC don't like the duke, the green hair girl just lusting after him when he engaged make me annoyed.
It’d be funny if he ended up jerking off to the thought of his best friend instead... lol, anyway. If he’s going to end up with black hair anyway, then I need blondie with the red head.
Bro yess
The story from the novel she’s in right now... it’s one where the villains finish on top, or what? I’m asking, but that’s definitely what it sounds like.
Well. That’s one level of F’d up I guess. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Welp. Up until he killed himself, I thought that it was about one disciple hating another for that long. But then the suicide made me wonder if he didn't actually infiltrate that sect on behalf of someone else or some other sect.
