Reading the comments lowkey kept me more entertained than this manhwa, NOT to say that it’s bad in particular.. it’s just rather dry? EXCELLENT artwork but the storyline is a little drab and I’ve read better manhwas.
At first I didn’t really like the ml and cringed when he toyed with our fl. I was screaming behind my screen ‘GIRL GET OVER HIMMMM’ but honestly now he’s growing on me. He’s a little more attentive to her now and is I guess(?) communicating his feelings a little better. He is by far most definitely not the worst ml if anything he’s a saint compared to certain mls in manhwas I’ve read. I would say he’s a little annoying with his feelings and comes across as a huge flirt but he’s not inherently evil. I think what frustrates readers the most regarding this story is the fact that we love seeing a strong fl. Perhaps I am being presumptuous but I think we’re sick of seeing ‘submissive’ women get swayed by handsome looks and hot bods to the point that we just have a preference for fls who are immune to that sort of thing and don’t really care if the guy is hot or popular. We loooove seeing dominant and strong women and this story has the potential to do that but to see a woman reduced to being an orbiting moon around a handsome guy, just inherently feels a little misogynistic. I know for a fact I struggled reading this because I just want HIM to be head over heels for her. I want HIM to be smitten. Yknow the type, “She fell first, but he fell harder” story. Why else was Roxanna so popular? Because she was a strong, dominant fl. And being dominant doesn’t mean she’s a dominatrix but specifically, she has the power/control in situations over the man. When I say a ‘dominant’ woman, I don’t mean that she’s specifically a mommy but she can also fold for the man at the right time! I think a fair example of this could be that one manhwa ‘I want to be fooled/I want to be deceived’, where our fl isn’t a mommy but she’s strong and has a boulder like personality where she becomes immune to his charms.
Here, the fl doesn’t have the upper hand here and it’s difficult to gauge how the ml REALLY feels towards her. It makes you feel frustrated and hurt that he’s toying with her so much and nothing is directly ever said.
I’ve only read until chapter 43 so I’ve a long way to go but I’m unsure if it is really that worth it because I have other gems I think I’d rather read that better suit my preference. Maybe I’ll pick this back up another time but.. I really do prefer the 2nd ml. He’s super cute and totally my type!
