This type specifically where one character feels not deserving of the other or like the other deserves to be the happiest and they are not the ones who can make them that (even though they are yk)
Because for example chapter 26 the confession scene I think. I literally just paused chanyoung's crying face and proceeded to cry my heart out then I talked to myself
"From a third person's perspective, chanyoung you look very sweet and lovely, being able to cry and confess shows so much courage you should be proud of yourself, doesn't MC deserve someone like you who wants the best for him" I say this through a bunch of tears and in barely a whisper
Then I say "but chanyoung if I were you I would feel so embarrassed, so so upset, you must be so upset, especially since we know that things will work out well but if this was reality we'd have no clue and you're probably so upset to be confessing like this rather than something that surprises or makes them happy, also I'd feel so guilty, I'm basically pressuring the one I love to be considerate, my crying is just pressuring them and even if it was a good answer it's probably just put of guilt, they deserve so much more than this yet I decided to cry and embarrass myself huh, and now we are gonna lose our friendship and it will really be over for good, how do I move on from this..." As I say crying even more damn tears to the point where for most of this my voice isn't even coming out
Legit every time I read stories like this I cry my heart out and I think way too much in the perspective of the one in the unrequited (not that I'm in love at all) but I do have low self esteem and tend to feel guilty for things that are often not a big deal and I'm super self conscious of what others think of me so I'd say I'm quite a people pleaser, I tend to do quite a bit for others and be really helpful (but it's not because I want to help, I just want them to think well of me and think that im a good person yk) so I really admire the characters for having the courage to confess but I also feel for them way too much. Even when talking to myself I literally feel the hopelessness of their character, it's not like it was written or drawn fantastically I just create way more lines and make it way more hopeless than the actual situation is. But tbh this is kind of a trait I like about myself, I like that I can feel so strongly for fictional characters (though not in front of others) and I like that I can empathise (it makes me feel like I'm a decent person)
Anyways I just had to rant about this and preferably I'd also like it if you are similar or perhaps know someone like this?... Thanks for your time, ps sorry I just wasted like 5 minutes of your life you're never getting back
Oh btw when helping people I do find it satisfying when they thank me but that's not my main reason yk
Even when it comes to an event I got into recently (which was competitive) the moment I got in (which I was surprised and happy about for a moment) then I just couldn't help but feel the standards of the company probably weren't that good if they would accept me of all people... Okay now it feels like I'm fishing for sympathy
God I hate how sensitive and emotional I get at night
Hey so you're not alone. It's not even night for me and my eyes kept leaking as I read the scenes leading up to confession and then confession and yea. Wasn't full on sobbing but I had to roughly wipe my cheeks and eyes to see the screen clearly
Because Leo is obviously handsome but I would say the other love interests stand out more, the other love interest are also richer, have higher statuses and I guess they are also both more forward. I really just like how different Leo is, he is not as handsome, as rich or as forward but he feels the most sincere and genuinely good compared to the other two (he made a commoner knight order and all and he puts his life on the line to fight for the kingdom even though his very king wants to kill him), he just feels a bit selfless and I love him for that. Plus his dynamic with the MC is so cute, compared to the other two which feel less sincere I guess (they both like our fl for valid reasons but it feels a bit over the top, while Leo progressed to love a lot slower and gradually which I loved). Also Leo always worries about her getting hurt and kind of takes care of her which I find so cute.
It takes him 10,000 years to get to level 100 and like 5000 to get to level 60 something I think, yet okita got to level 60 something in a month
Wow Ygret, Estio and Winterbell all have a 9.5 eating right now that is so impressive!
I had no idea it was the same world different timeline????
Hii. Which one should I read first among the three?
Honestly since they are all different time lines and their own independent stories any order is fine! I don't really have a preference, you can't really go wrong with any of them, although I personally did enjoy estio the most
Well Estio just finished
But technically Estio is in the middle chronologically.
Winterbell -> Estio (like 2-3 generations after) -) Ygret
They are standalone so I guess it’s just where do you want to explore next. I also liked Estio as a starter.
Winterbell > Estio > ygret
Still, I read the order that I felt like it first and didn’t feel like I was missing a crazy lot
Yeah but its just fun to see how they all connect
Honestly the way we learnt little by little and honestly the MC had to find really unique ways of figuring things out since the ml was so stubborn in telling him nothing. Just learning random things like the bank transfers etc was so cool and realistic. It felt like a really cool mystery to be honest. Also MC was honestly quite good at seeking things out and trying to find out the truth
Honestly I despise amnesia plots but I had nothing to read and it had a decent rating. Tbh I also didn't read the description. But like the moment we met the ml I was taken. This is the type of love interest I always wished to see, he's everything I like in a ml, cute, pretty, naive, honest, sweet and timid. And then I started falling for the MC too, he was just proactive, took things into his own hands and just so confident and likable.
Then I started to feel insanely heartbroken for the ml who was hated by the old MC for things that weren't even his fault. He was like 9 when they met, the ml got his dislike and inferiority complex mainly due to the adults influence yet took it out on the ml which was so sad. Even believing he's the one who did the awful deed unilaterally and not even considering the possibility of it not being him was so sad. It just showed a huge lack of trust and hatred which I was so upset the ml had to face when he never did anything wrong as a kid. And him acting cold in the company to the point the ml literally felt scared of him but still in love was so heartbreaking to see.
I'm honestly so happy to see MC being so proactive with him so quickly and being so trusting too after this memory loss since the ml deserves it. But now I'm insanely scared for him to go back to the old him after his memory recovers.
Thankfully I read a comment that they get over that hurdle quite fast and it's a short part so I'll probably stockpile 10 to 15 chapters before continuing and hopefully I'll be over it. I would wait till it's done but knowing me that would be impossible and if I did I'd end up forgetting and losing my strong feelings for this which would be rubbish.
Anyways it's obviously not everyone's cup of tea, but it's perfect for me since I'm a fan of timid, self sacrificing and pitiful love interests.
I am here with you! I just love cute tops! I have also felt anxious since i read a spoiler in the comments that the mc goes back to his pre amnesia attitude and i do hope it wont last long.
One thing I still don't get is that we saw a flashback where Erszebet was beheaded and cursed all of milheim, but we also saw her die when protecting Seol-ah and forcing Seol-ah to go back to Earth. So she died twice? Then broke off and came to Earth? When the fourth misfortune of her death was brought up she said she wouldn't die again (talking as if she only died once). Honestly the time rewinds and all make no logical sense.
I'm just glad that it is over the last arc dragged on way too much and I think I'm done with this manhwa just in time.
To be honest I find it still quite icky that the ml wants the MC to quit his gigs, I get it's for his own good but let's be honest realistically, if you were given permission to stay at a fwb's house, that will obviously feel temporary. And even more knowing it is just a fwb relationship means it could end easily the moment the ml loses interest, and in that situation MC could be left with no money so I think it's safest and most secure for him to actually have jobs, I think the ml's help with the debt is nice but communication honestly should have been done, and if the MC wants to work then he should try and make it comfortable at least for the MC by having food in the house, giving him lifts to work here and there or the way back and also not sleeping together too much. Because one of the reasons I despised him at the start was because he was so rough in the sex (with a literal virgin and a college kid) and they did it multiple days in a row. The MC had so little free time and he just wasted that free time that's why the MC often had a sore body when going to work and it was also mentioned quite a few times how he was getting less sleep then usual (the kid who usually gets like 4 hours of sleep) with how the ml always only thought about sex whenever they meet I genuinely hated him since he didn't realise how hard that makes the MC's life. Now he's at least acting with some basic human decency. How is it that yeonwoo had to struggle and got no money, or help from the ml for a whole season seriously, ml is rich, doing little things like buying meals for him or just letting him sleep some days could've done wonders but no he just had to be a red flag for that whole first season. Now he's starting to look like a decent human being just a little bit but that's a start and as much as I still hate him since he is making yeonwoo happy it can't be helped. I love yeonwoo so freaking much and he genuinely deserves someone so much better.
The ML is really meant to be a piece of shit though, so it all tracks lol. He's only soft for MC, but that doesn't mean he has good intentions.
yep, yep and yep. ML is an a-hole to every single person in his life and it seems that for the first time ever he found someone he feels jealous for (MC), which the author is trying to translate into "someone who is precious for ML." The thing I like about Yeomin is how he sets little boundaries here and there even for someone who lacked affection as a child and experienced such horrible abandonment issues. In fact, this is the first boundary he has ever set for ML, and ML disregarded it as if it was nothing. The moment Yeomin finds out about this... ML will mean nothing to Yeomin. Just recently, Yeomin started to feel comfortable saying no to ML, and once again it was taken as a "who are you to tell me no..."
I can't wait to see how this unfolds lol praying for Yeomin's safety haha
