the "i could ask that guy to find out, but he's curious, so I'll have to do it myself" is the dumbest plot device I've ever seen. it was useless to mention and if it has any relevence later on, I'm sure it'll be more than stupid
i smell the pungent smell of mind control and i wont come any closer to it, no thank you
ch.7 so far nothing makes any sense at all, there was no explaination of anything at all other than how rich the fl is
too shy to look him in the face or call him after he gives his number but not too shy to sexually assault him wtf
honestly, I'm kinda sick and tired of situations like that that could be resolved in a few words
can we stop the stupid lack of conversation and honesty? bc they're hiding important stuff from each other, both of them.
like "idk how to tell you, but your ex's company is trying to aquire your company bc of me haha. my brother is the investor and he wants to bring me home bc i cur contact with my family to enter the entertainment industry" and "my ex is blackmailing me with a video of him forcefully kissing him (aka sexual assault) into faking a relationship, so don't believe his taunting comments"
it's that fucking simple
they're perfect for each other, dumb and dumber. the evil stepmother didn't even have to try hard for them to not only let 13 years pass but hurt each other in the most reprehensible ways possible. like i didn't forget that :
1. she had to marry him while he was acting as his brother bc of her cousin, her "good sister" bc she didn't want to marry jiamu. like she's the most to blame for having recorded her love letter and exposed it to jiamu's mother bc she had no backbone.
2. he raped her and physically assaulted her multiple times
3. she thought asking for sexual favors and passing for a slut was better than confessing her stupid 13 years crush on him, bc noooo she just couldn't in that situation, as if she wouldn't sivorce jiamu as soon as he woke up bc they don't like each other.
4. jiamu isn't any better, i reckon he knew full well that his brother and fl liked each other but he's an absolute dumb fucking ass and fucked up multiple times.
5. jiamu is as incapable in his love life as the others, he "bought" his crush again just to vent instead of telling her the truth about his accident
6. the mom is an absolute psycho, her son doesn't even like fl and all she needed to go full psycho was one singular audio from that dumbass cousin
not one character is redeemable, they're all as dumb as the other and none of them deserve a happy ending bc they're all reprehensible bitchass that made other and thenselves suffer to protect their feelings bc love is more important than basic integrity ig
they deserve to never have closure and stay in the dark forever and yk what, evil stepmother should just succed with her stupid plans that would be so easily reseolved if the others were capable of having a one-on-one conversation for once
the way they draw her not even attempting to dissimulate she's a woman is ugh. like they purposefully added a boob shadow on her torso, she actually has a more prominent chest than the girl that tried to kill herself and she's supposed to be binding lol
why di the author twinkify the bottom when he's naked? like just the chapter before, when they were talking on the bench at work they were both equally as masc and all of a sudden the bottom is all uwu
i like the concept, but again, i get it that he's nervous about getting "outed" as a crossdresser to normies, but crossplay is like a huge part of fandom and cossplay culture. i think the majority of cossplayers at least crossdressed once and many do mainly crossplays, so i don't get why he'd be nervous to 1. post it on online fandom spaces 2. talk about and show it to ppl tgat are in the fandoms and into cossplay.
like it's this overdone concept of inexistant self-esteem and fear of judgment so omnipresent that you end up judging other ppl as mean bullies when they never did anything to you.
like if i discovered that a classmate was doing crossplay and we started hanging out and they told me "don't you think it's weird that i crossdress?", I'd lowkey be offended that they'd think I'd be bigoted like that, same with "don't you think I'm weird for liking the same gender", like idk do you think I'm a homophobic bigot? ヽ(`Д´)ノ
as always tobi washio out there righting the best pairing imaginable and revolutioning the game
crazy x crazy is and will always be the best pairing ever
the ml and fl really are dumb and dumber, like i can't even cheer for such a stupid couple nor for their separation bc if how dumb they are
and yet again a fl who mistakes who the ml loves and a trash beyond redemption ml
its such a rarity to have a middle aged mc, but he's so pretty that we forget he's in his 40s
the only problem (and it's a pretty big one imo) is the stupidity of the fl when it comes to the ml,like can we stop the "there was a huge rumor about his impotence and he never refuted it so it must be true" and "it's all an act" when firstly, someone with ED would swear up and down nothing was wrong, secondly he said, word for word "nothing is better that a shody act, so we won't be acting like we love each other" which, for the less perceptive ones (like the fl for exemple), means that it'll be a real relationship and they will build their genuine love.
like girl, open your eyes and think just a tiny bit
why do every women in harlequin story have to be vain (even the fl, dare i even say, especially the fl)
