I was going through my old comments and came across one I left on this manhwa, and it reminded me why I dropped it. I just needed to vent a little.
I really don't like the ML. I find him incredibly annoying, and I do not see him as a green flag at all. I also hate their dynamic. The whole bet storyline felt ridiculous to me, and his possessive behavior was a major turnoff. They are not even dating or married, they are just friends with benefits, so the possessiveness felt especially irritating.
I am also not a big fan of the friends-to-lovers trope in general. One of the things that annoyed me from the very beginning was when the ML made a comment about it being their baby. It instantly got on my nerves.
Another thing I cannot stand is when the ML is overly confident that the MC likes him back and is just refusing to admit it. That kind of attitude always makes me root against the couple, even when I know they are obviously going to end up together.
I also dislike romances where the couple already has an established relationship, whether they are exes, friends, dating ect. For me, it makes the story less interesting. I have noticed that a lot of Korean romance authors seem to prefer writing couples who already know each other, but I will always prefer stories where two strangers meet for the first time and we get to watch the relationship develop from scratch. I enjoy seeing a relationship built rather than simply evolve from something that already exists.
That is ultimately why I stopped reading this one.
