she very clearly is a narcissist who enjoyed toying with chanwoo when he was younger, and consequently enjoyed toying with mc. she gets off feeling superior and stepping on people. her saving mc is nothing amazing now. just goes to show you just cant judge a person by the one good thing they did.
also, this trope of an antagonist constantly being a woman is mysoginistic af. heck- mc's ex (A MAN) wasnt even made to look awful. he kept following her around, driving her home, then the sht he made that crazy girl do was in the shadows. we never got to see him being the psycho he was. the author didnt bother to show it. in the end, he just disappears from the story. crazy girl on the other hand had so many appearances and was made to look like such an awful person, then became the scape goat.
now it looks like this is a whole new arc to the plot and narcisissy is the center of it.
author fcking do better
loved the plot. its been a hot minute since i read shoujo in one sitting; shoujo these days dont interest me as much. plus- i did not expect the story to go that dark creeped me out a bit. however i do wanna point out how absofckinglutely ridiculous they made marie's appearance seem to be.
like- fat?? unattractive because of her glasses?? she literally doesnt look different from before she became a cat and the glasses were a whole ass charm. this trope of bad eyesight making you ugly or "nerdy" is so damn old. apparently this is based on a novel released in 2021. 2021 with that stupid ass trope. and the manga in 2023. godforbid a woman has bad eyesight and is physically healthy?? ironic when the entire story is about loving urself and knowing ur worth. fck no the author clearly has an obsession for beauty tropes
i rest my case








Venomous = Euihyun
Have No Brains = Taeju
