I appreciate author-nim allowing Mommy Gestella to be her bad self. The lack of a whole fight sequence for retrieving Jisuk was surprising but nice in its own way. It's was now though. Jisuk is Kayden, Cartein, and Pluton's favorite of Jiwoo's friends. Downside is I gotta mentally prep for the plot to continue not going anywhere. I miss the plot. When will it return to us?
Jisuk, author-nim has only been training Jiwoo for ages. I promise, the gap is not your fault.
On another note. Didn't this fight remind anyone of when Jiwoo and Jisuk first met? My heart! Jisuk went from a feral brat to comic relief to (potential? Angst brooding). If the author does the right things my interest in the plot just might be rekindled. For the past year(?) I have really just been here for Laden's face and Gestella's crush and Laden's obliviousness. Never was a fan of Jiwoo's relationship but also was never mad when she was used as plot armor so idk what to say about that. Depending on how this goes I think I might actually drop. Kayden's beautiful face has been keeping me but. . . That's what screenshots are for.
I kept looking for reasons to drop and not finding any. I liked it more than I expected and kept wondering about the characters when I wasn't reading. Usually I prefer more drama and bad communication with a touch of "WHY THE HELL IS THE 2ND MALE LEAD LIKE THIS?!" but this was refreshing and cute. I smiled from beginning to end.
Starting to get a bit frustrated. I know it's like an ongoing trope here or whatever but Kayden only ever arrives after the person in need of saving is hurt like.... whyyyyy?
I'm not gonna answer for each time, but this one. I think that the prolonged fighting of 1 vs 2 was to show how physically and mentally strong she is and that she isn't just a princess in need of a prince to save her (I think everyone have felt the frustration of useless FL at least once and now got the chance to appreciate a powerful FL)





I can appreciate him acknowledging his feelings this soon considering how the trope usually goes (which is what Leo is afraid of). I want him to pursue Varia while she convunces herself it isnt what it is and for Leo to grab her hair watching it happen.
