Well that went from 1 to 10 real fast..

I read more of the chapters somewhere else, my instincts were right when he irritated me, HES EVEN WORSE THAN I THOUGHT

Omg I’m so glad someone else felt my pain. This story felt like it was written by two different authors or something. Cause like in one chapter they’ll talk about women’s struggles and how makeup is so good in one chapter, but then the next, the ml is fucking preaching about inner beauty and all that bullshit and how you don’t need makeup or some shit. Like, I wanted to barf. He’s definitely the type to be like “babe, you don’t need to put on makeup, I think you’re already pretty without it” completely not understanding that SHES NOT PUTTING MAKEUP ON FOR YOU. He’s so misogynistic and ignorant of reality and I don’t understand how he’s in a story that’s otherwise pretty well-written. I hate how the latest chapters is basically forcing the romance and making her blush and look up to him more. Like omg wtf?? AND HE HASNT EVEN APOLOGIZED TO HER ONCE??

also, I can’t believe we didn’t even get a chapter of him realizing she was the same person?? Like we just get a side character offhandedly mentioning it?? He doesn’t go through a crisis, feel bad, or even anything else?? Like wtf was the point of all that then?? Also, he was so pushy with her it gave me such a huge ick.

Also omg, I hated how he kept talking about inner beauty this and that, when he’s like the most superficial person in the story. He’s super biased to people who wear makeup and he fucking falls in love at first sight with the mc without makeup?? What happened to falling for the person and not their exterior?? It’s honestly disgusting they’re framing it as romantic love when it just feels like him fetishizing a not conventionally attractive face.

(Like, you’ve seen it before. Some guys actually think not conventionally attractive features to be pretty. That’s their type and they find it pretty or beautiful. However, then there’s the fucking weirdos whose whole thing is to find someone “ugly.” Like, they themselves see them as ugly and that’s what gets their rocks off. The fact that whenever he comments on her appearance without makeup, it’s almost a half-insult makes it feel exactly like the latter situation and it’s disgusting. Especially to the girls who are on the opposite end of that “affection” and knowing it’s only because they perceive them as “ugly.”)

Anyway, sorry, I ended up ranting. I thinks it’s cause I got such a huge ick as a woman while reading. Like, that man is rancid and I’m just remembering all the other men I’ve accounted in real life and online, and I couldn’t help think about it. He is not helping the situation at all, and is just another way women are put down in society. Plus, the way he talks about women is just so off putting and misogynistic. He is one of the worst types of men, who try to make it seem like he’s on our side, while completely invalidating us and our struggles.(like the guys who say “oh I want a girl not like other girls, who doesn’t care about makeup” like OMG stfu, you’re not different you absolute cardboard of a man.)
