Doona has it all: a loyal boyfriend, a great career, Minho who always misses her and considers her irreplaceable, no bad karma befalling her, and an author who’s made her the favorite character. Compare that to Minho, who’s been hit with layer upon layer of bad karma—stuck with someone obsessed with him and constantly getting bad reviews from the author. So you’ve got nothing to worry about. Everyone’s preferences are different, so let the readers be the judge.
I find both story little good, i do also hate Minho since he is such an asshole and he kinda deserves what happened to him but NOT to the point of THIS karma. Every character in the story is toxic, the BL side is just in the next level. But unfortunately i might agree that Doona is far from Minho as a character. I woudnt say Minho had a character development, but I can see the phases and vulnerabilities of him in a much relatable way i guess? Doona also had her vulnerabilities but it only reminds me that she is like the BDSM Cinderella, where she is perfect pretty and nice, charismatic and sexy (which damn she is) and the only vulnerabilities that was given to her was her ex? And people surrounding her, Her passions solve it temporarily but the narrative doesnt recognizes her hideous self (which i believe we all have one) that shows the crack to herself, it was shown by other people for her. Back to cinderella, if you take away the mean step sisters, the stepmother, she is as invincible with her magic shoes and her twink charming (my bad) which i find a little boring, i wont say her character is bad, its just less developed. I genuinely forgot the story of the main since i read it years ago, I only read the side BL and GL right now so i might say a lot of inconsistencies.

Why does everyone here seem to hate Doona and side so much with Minho…? As if he didn’t verbally and emotionally abuse her THEIR WHOLE RELATIONSHIP?? And it wasn’t just that, even afterwards through the whole og sadistic beauty story he was horrible to her. But everyone wants to call her horrible bcs what…? She gave him a taste of his own medicine? Tbh she was very nice to him overall. It just sounds like a buncha sexist double standards to me bcs she wasn’t Minhos pathetic bitch.
