It’s shows that you can develop a character who presents as naive and childish without making them mentally a child. The mc is intelligent and schemes (tho non malicious) in a way that other characters shown as youthful would not. I believe he will be able to handle the responsibilities of being a head merchant and it doesn’t feel forced. It’s like the author built him off of real people rather than tropes and I appreciate that.
Frrrrrr
I read a bit of the novel, and you're guess is accurate :) have hope for this series (but I also didn't read too far, sometimes books surprise you with rushed or bad endings, idk about this one I haven't gotten that far)
And here I am excited for a stalker uke, thinking that I’ll finally have an mc who unapologetically loves the ml’s advances but it’s reduced to the same rapey storyline. It’s the same shit, even when they try to switch it up it always ends up as the same shit. It’s as if they only know how to write 2 characters and put them in interesting premises they may or may not follow. Like the uke isn’t even a stalker fr. Now, the seme’s fun character is reduced to a loser rapist. The uke didnt have a personality compatible with the premise causing all agency to be striped from him. It’s so bad that I don’t even think they have chemistry; your romance should never devolve to the point if they never spoke again it would be a good ending.
When I read the synopsis I was so excited thinking they’d be equally obsessed with each other. They’d be crazy but crazy in love. It wasn’t that at all and I'm very disappointed
Same.. smh
I think the most unrealistic thing about this is people being surprised a streamer is a loser in real life. Love them down tho
Also, I kinda wish ppl understood social anxiety ≠ introversion. The mc craves socializing and putting himself out there he just has a mental disability thats the actual thing draining him, not the socializing itself. I’d argue they’re both extraverts.
None of these things are to diss this story btw. I rated it a 5-star it’s cute.
I don’t think the MC is a full extrovert. At most, he’s an ambivert (meaning he is both an extrovert and an introvert at the same time). Social anxiety does play a part in introversion and vice versa, but you’re right that they don’t mean the same thing.
Actually agree, but for me the most unrealistic thing is that such a big vtuber company would be so chill after that controversy still cant get over that hahah
Omg so real. After all the drama with like every big name vtuber company, that was the most unrealistic part for me lol. Like, imagine stopping a graduation mid-way through and keeping a talent after any type of scandal. Those big names, that shall not be named, would never lol.
I’m finding it so difficult to like the top, he’s a dangerous person. He does not deserve to be happy. He does not deserve to get what he wants. I understand that he doesn’t remember the alt timeline but every time he says something ignorant about what life Aeroc has lived I become so angry and defensive. He is hyper violent and plays the victim. I desperately want both Aeroc and Raphiel to live happy lives, not Kloff though, he still has a major lesson to learn and It’s looking like he won’t learn it.
This is the most “you know what, good for them” couple ive read. It’s so strange bc most romances you insert yourself in the story in some shape or form but Ive never felt so much like an observer
its their world and we're living in it
rlly is it that common? i've never inserted myself into a romance story before, i feel like that would be uncomfortable
I typed out a whole explanation then mangago logged me out without saving so I’ll make a “quick” version. It’s not always inserting yourself as a character but emotional input. If character is in terrible relationship you long for them to get out. If character is obtuse you’re angry bc you would never be that dumb. You might think a character is hot. You might get gratification from sex scenes. If there is a love rival you might dislike them for getting in the way. You might be suspicious of the best friend getting too close before the narrative has hinted they are a threat. Stuff like that is what I mean. Obviously I don’t know if you do any of these but I think we can agree this is common. Most ppl inject a bit of their emotions/self into how they engage with a story. The highest level is self inserting yourself as the mc. I guess you can say I wasn’t emotionally invested in this story but I weirdly like that about it
Ohhh okay thank you for the lengthy explanation that makes a lot of sense !!
One thing I would’ve liked more in the story is the mc actually interacting with other characters like he was a “S level Dom” rather than people just saying it. It would be less clique if he didn’t need to be saved and had a more dominant aura except when he’s with the ml unfortunately he mellows out as a whole instead.
I’m so happy everyone else is laughing at the “SSS Dom” I was busting out laughing so stupid
I really wanted to like this but the mls are lame. I don’t even have a reason to think they’re good at sex, it looks like it’s painful and sucks, foreplay is hot I swear. If the mc had any sense he would walk them like dogs cause they’re embarrassing. How can you be rich and famous and still fight so hard to be a loser, you just don’t have to do that.
You know what’s crazy, the story changed the first ml’s personality right when they had sex for the first time and he became a worst less interesting person. He seemed like a sweet guy interested in some heavy stuff and that made him kinda nervous. Thats kinda cute, what happened.
