THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL THANK GOD, because I was starting to collapse from the misery.
What if THIS TIME, it’s Mr Lim’s turn to PROPOSE ONE MONTH for Yeorum to ‘fall for him’? Yes we all know Yeorum loves him still, but you can’t have a chasing arc without groveling and healing from the emotional damage caused. Yeorum has always been the proactive one, but what if this time, perhaps we will see Mr Lim going through the extra mile to show his feelings for Yeorum and going through his own character development journey by doing this.
And the end of the one month period will coincide with the beginning of springtime, where new leaves begin to flourish… unlike the time when Yeorum’s own one month period ended with heartbreak and the dying leaves of autumn. Oh my heart.

This is honestly a good space to marinate or pause the manhwa. I’m not joking. I DIE every week and I can’t claw myself out. The actual angst is coming. If you can’t stand weekly rollercoasters and cliffhangers, this heads up is for you. Currently, there is no end in sight as a raw reader because it’s just the fucking start.

it’s like real world sad i’m assuming? yeoreum’s relationship with his parents/aunt and maybe even mr. lim’s as well. this manhwa gives me those vibes, fluff but also realistic(?) angst like what happened with his classmate and him dropping out of college. even mr.lim constantly thinking of what his relationship with yeoreum would look like to others. if so… lord help me bc im already going through my own shit LOL but i’ll try to remind myself of the happy ending

I think it’s quite obvious that because Yeorum couldn’t argue against his parents, he displays his rebellion and fights back in the only way he could, by sleeping around and taking ownership of that one area he feels he has full control over. He probably dabbles in all sorts of sex, threesomes definitely like that one panel showed. It’s a nice bit of character backstory for Yeorum. It also doesn’t seem to matter him as much at this point because he’s currently heads over heels over Mr Lim and he’s really feeling the love whenever they have sex. I think if he hadn’t met Mr Lim, he would’ve gone harder on the mindless orgies and sex tbh if his parents are as stifling and controlling as ever.
You’d think you’ll feel like an adult when you’re 24 - technically you are, but toxic parents and upbringing will always make you feel like you’re still a child and you’re conditioned to respond in a certain way when you meet them. This is probably a potential issue that’ll probably spring up in the future with the way Yeorum keeps declaring he’s an adult. The moment when he can stand up against them is the moment he’ll probably give Mr Lim more confidence in a lot of ways if he wants to take the rs further (Mr Lim may not be as sexually experienced, but he HAS gone through marriage and divorce and probably knows how to weather the storms of life a bit more realistically than Yeorum right now.)

ML is an orange-red flag. That lady knows it, readers know it, story knows it. I know what I’m getting into, that comment about MC being slowly simmered alive like a frog is SPOT ON.
I’m here to watch MC being slowly and gentlemanly devoured by ML. ML will, I am SO SURE, he WILL eat MC out, starting with his own name on MC’s butt and this manhwa will END me when he does.

I consider him borderline orange-red atm for the only reason he’s not on Jinx trash level just yet and he hasn’t tried to stick his dick in.
His original character description in the raws also said he’ll be a ‘regretful top’ at some point so yeah it seems to be building up to stuff like this blowing in his face.

I read the released raws and, though the art is different, I can’t help but feel the new style fits Raga more than the original art. Shinru and Yuri’s story is less action based and more emotional, and there’s a lot to be conveyed with their expressions. Shinru looks very pretty and manly at the same time (the novel describes him as breathtaking) but he doesn’t look feminine. I felt it’s more in line with the feel of the novel.
Yuri on the other hand looks so gentle. The art may be different but it’s no less inferior - it’s delicate and lovely

From what I’m getting, it’s more manhua style than mahwa cause xinlu is Chinese so the art style being influenced by China and story being more emotional fits helps with it too. I just know if it was a danmei it would make me love it even more than I do now despite the fact that I haven’t even read it yet.

Words can’t describe the sheer love I have for Yeonha. She is the opposite of timid and innocent, like many frail FLs in the shounen genre, but she’s also not all spitfire. She is loud and reactive, but she’s also kind and caring. The woman knows what she wants, and she strives for it.
She KNOWS that she can sometimes be too headstrong and communicates this with Jinho - the level of awareness she has of her strengths and flaws already put her leagues ahead of other cookie cutter FLs that only serve to be cardboard trophies to glorify the MCs.
Her assertiveness also brings out the HUMAN SIDE of Jinho and this is also why I don’t know what some of you are smoking when you say she is the worst FL - his cluelessness in the things of love balances well with Yeonha’s expertise in this area. Because of this, I get LOTS OF CUTE love scenes between them. SHE GETS IT, and Jinho doesn’t and this is where you should THANK her for being one of the most crucial pillars in his life that makes him human. That she is completely helpless in the martial arts world doesn’t mean she is useless; she is the top of her talents and skills in the acting industry and she is living her own life working and trying the best she could.
Yeonha is a breath of fresh air and Jinho could not have had a more perfect partner that brings out his best qualities, and remind us there is MORE to him than simply being a super OP catastrophic lord. It’s hilarious and lovable that the strongest man in the world could also be so timid (in a comedic way) in front of Yeonha.

I’m halfway through reading the novel - how we’ve completely misunderstood ML. OG heroine NEVER had a chance, he never once LOOKED at her. There was no room, for her. ML was in love with Bianca and never wavered. The first few chapters of the manhwa is where he genuinely falls for her. These two are so sweet they gave me toothache.
The REAL evil mastermind is someone else.
Edit: I’m done reading the novel! TOO SWEET HELP
Here’s the link to the novel : https://salmonlatte.com/novel/i-may-be-a-villainess-but-i-wont-live-my-life-that-way/
Main story + 1st side story is completely translated (except for the last 2 side stories where it talks about a different timeline + what happens in the future) I don’t know why the replies to this topic were deleted but here’s the link.

Sure, here you are:
https://salmonlatte.com/novel/i-may-be-a-villainess-but-i-wont-live-my-life-that-way/
It’s completely translated as well (for main story + 1st side story at least) There are two more side stories that hasn’t been translated yet (one that talks about a different timeline + another on the future)
I’m convulsing because it has been EXACTLY TWO MONTHS of pure agony. I have absolutely no idea how I managed to last since April - but I see that THEY FINALLY MEET. Yeorum has never lost his positivity nor his heart but he is definitely cautious, in pain and WANTING answers. They are fucking running through the snow like a scene straight out of a Korean drama and I am loving every moment of this.
WHEREEEEE
FEEED US THE RAWS
