Ariest's manga / #Webtoon(102)

Had so much potential. The story is really well written imo. It has a good pace, an interesting plot and the MC has character development, but my god did the author miss the mark with the male lead. He is no better than the aristocracy that he generalizes and resents, in fact he might be worse. He's conceited, manipulative, hypocritical, mean, greedy, unsympathetic and dishonest, even towards the main character after she's been left traumatized and on the street. And the author never quite manages to convince me he's changed or atone him for this behavior in my eyes. He never has a moment where he admits he regrets behaving the way he did to people, on the contrary, the author actually has him justify some of the terrible sht he did to the MC and her family at the end of the story. And it just casts a permanent shadow over their relationship for me. So yeah, the story is well written. Could have been a 5 star from me, if only the ML wasn't so unlikeable and actually faced his hypocritical douchebag ways.

Very well written story and characters. It has some really beautiful and emotional moments. But could've done without the 2 random modern day stories, it sort of broke the immersion.
