Female lead is so dumb and the most doormat coded FMC I've ever seen, and the male lead is an absolute ass with no redeemable qualities. I find it hilarious how he's been an asshole since they met, but she liked him for 10 YEARS??? The second I'm spoken to like that, you'd immediately transform into a potato head. Wtf?
Like, girl, stand up fgs. Just embarrassing yourself.
i like how your comment went straight to the point. ATP i want this type of FL golddigger and scam the motherfucker out of his money and then go abroad with her kid and live a good life. She can find a worthy man for her and her kid, or she can be a happy single mother. I'd rather see a plot like this than the 1500s plot where the FL is fucking braindead and is hooked up to some complete trash ass ML.
I'm loving the story so far, although the translation is lacking, but as a psychology graduate with a background in neuropsychology, it's particularly irksome to see the fake science.
If you're going to make the main character a child psychologist in this type of story, the least you could do is Google the plausibility of every science-based inference the character makes. Why would you say that the size of a child's forehead is indicative of frontal lobe development? Like, come on. That sounds like some unsupported theory they developed in the 19th century
Other things mentioned like the child's attachment style indicating a healthy bond with their primary caregiver, and the mention of separation anxiety, are relatively reasonable as those are things one can actually deduce based on displayed behaviours, but the frontal lobe shit just took me right out of it. And it's so frustrating because a very quick search would tell you that that's absolutely baseless.
I was gonna read this, but from the first chapter alone, I'm already kinda put off.
I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like the story is trying way too hard to tell you that they're not in Korea, and it's a little cringe tbh. Like, 5 panels in and I've already been thrown 5 different ethnicities (Japanese, Caucasian, Hispanic, Chinese and Korean) through the most inorganic exposition, then 3 panels later they've just gotta remind you that we're definitely not in Kansas anymore, cuz this is the big city, London, England, where it's always wet and there are parks. Not to mention, the architecture used here is so Archaic
I don't get why we can't get BDSM with a femdom without using actual rape and nonconsensual sex.
It is actually possible to write a man who wants to be pegged and "punished", you know? And in real BDSM, consent is taken very seriously and there is no intent to actually harm your partner. That's simply not how it's used.
Up until this point, it could have been said that they were kind of just playing weird mind games with eachother (unlikely, but if you really wanted to, you could stretch the logic), but now it's very clear that for Rosa, this isn't a kink. She actually hates him to an extent and wishes to harm him using sex. Which is just weird and fucked up.
I can't wrap my head around the comments saying that Yeonwoo actually wants this and it's all part of his grand plan to get her. Like, some people are actually ignoring his very obvious refusal to sleep with her that she has ignored time and time again. It's rape, and I think for some readers it's too serious a topic for them to come to terms with, so they're convoluting the plot in order to justify it with an "um, actually..." Which is kinda crazy to me.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not judging people who are reading this, after all, I myself have stuck around this long (even if only in hopes of some sort of happy ending for Yeonwoo, who is the greatest victim here), but at least acknowledge that Rosa isn't some sexy sadist dominatrix mommy. She's no better than all the other women who have preyed on Yeonwoo up until this point. She's a rapist. A hot one, but a rapist nonetheless.
Okay, I came to see what all the hubbub was about because I remember reading the first 2 chapters of this a few years back and dropping it for obvious reasons.
Having reminded myself of the story by going back to the first chapter, I will say one thing. The "twist" at the end, with her being the actual "rapist" and not him, seems unplanned at best (and at worst it looks to be a sloppily designed "whoa, look your hypocrisy in the mirror, reader. Women can rape too and now you've been supporting a perpetrator all this time" moment), which can work when done thoughtfully and CAREFULLY, but what exactly are the logistics and likelihood of her raping him while literally being pinned face down to the ground from the beginning of the flashback to the end?
Even if the justification is made for it by saying that that's not actually how it happened (I wouldn't know since I'm not gonna read the reveal chapter as I'm dropping this shit, so it could be a case of unreliable narration), that's the story given to us, so our anger towards her "rapist" is completely justified, so what now is the point of spitting on the reader's feelings by making her the actual "villain" and turning him into a martyr who was unjustly persecuted by us? It feels like a lazy way to close off what was probably supposed to be a deep and compelling story of romance, redemption and reconciliation by making the bad guy someone who didn't actually need redeeming because he was never bad in the first place, and making the reconciliation a simple matter of resolved misunderstanding, which is wild when you open up a romance story with RAPE for God's sake.
I don't know if anyone else notices it, but this art style change isn't sitting right with me.
Aside from his hair style making him look less hot, the ML just looks kinda...blander overall. His expressions used to feel more dynamic and nuanced, now it looks a bit flat. And the FL has had the most drastic change in my opinion. She looks so much more childish, in a weird way. Not even just her mannerisms and expressions, but her face shape and proportions too. Her head's gotten bigger, her face has gotten rounder and her eyes are larger too.
It looks like it's becoming more typical shoujo art, and I don't really like that.
Yeahhh it felt more manga like and unique in the earlier chapters and then it switched to a more generic webcomic that you find in a lot of those super weird “I turned into a girl and my bff slept with me in both my male and female forms now we’re married” novels that actually have wacky ass names like that











Welsh onion?
