so you’re telling me at the beginning of this her goal was to be free from the mansion by helping him escape in the way he was meant to by clearing the floors the right way, but since this stupid bitch had to make a pact with a talking door she left the mansion the wrong way and is basically hurdling towards the “bad ending” of the game. Not only did everything they do together now mean nothing as her goal completely took a 360 but she’s leaving behind her “family” basically to be free from a cycle she more than likely could’ve broke in another way just to create endless suffering for her and the ml. yeahhhh what great story telling is going on here. kinda stupid asf ngl I’m probably gonna drop this and come back when it finishes to see if it’s even worth the read anymore ಠ_ಠ

He was obviously going to have a sob story and a reason as to why he grew up to be the way he does, it doesn’t excuse his actions but it gives a reason to them, yes he continued the cycle and very obviously hasn’t broken free from the cycle of abuse, this story very obviously isn’t about fluffy love or cute stories of how the main characters get together, it’s how people deal with their traumas and what it can turn into, the only difference is how people start to recognize their reactions and grow from it. comparing him and Dan to eachother is a mistake I’m seeing a lot of people make and Dan is a grown ass man who can make decisions on his own (he obviously has) the whole point of the story is to show how jaekyung was “jinxed” and how he cures himself of it, he was cursed to be his fathers son and inherit everything rotten from his father even if it never presented in the same way, I’m sure with how the story is progressing he’s going to grow as a person and are people entitled to forgive him? No. But is it fair to disregard someone’s trauma and past experiences because of their present actions? Absolutely not. It’s an unfair bias humanity has towards people, can you outgrow someone, yes absolutely but it’s never right to disregard what other people have been through especially when it comes to things that happen so often in real life

Idk if it’s just me but I’m not really enjoying the story, mostly cause their feelings change so quickly and the fl’s personality goes from one side to the other, at first it was refreshing but now it just feels like the author didn’t know how to write her. Especially with the ml. It was obvious at the beginning that she atleast showed interest in him and wanted to marry him but when he starts showing the same interest she wants to end the engagement? She’s very obviously depending on the book way too much and having it change the way she feels about people, the characters and the plot itself all just feel way too fickle.

It also doesn't help that there is zero chemistry between MC and ML. I also find MC to be wishy-washy about what to do. Case in point, deciding to stay away from red head then suddenly she's not doing so. Liking the ML and doing actions that encourage feelings to grow then suddenly he throws him to red head. I can't take the characters seriously at all.
I also saw spoilers and it just devolves from here. Personally, I just couldn't muster the patience to read more.

It’s tagged with romance and there is a romantic aspect but I don’t think it’s right to tag this as a romance story, it’s a really good story and confronted a lot of societal norms, I started reading hoping for a romance but I’m also really happy with what it ended up becoming though I am sad that they never officially got together
the translations got me thinking I’m greening out bro
