super fun, girl traumatized from being a frontliner and decide to chill. Only to be dragged in politics
As much as reader feels like it's weird and funny. It's not. Cause most Asians school are like that especially those with high prestigious and well known school for their high rates flying colour results or crazy athletics. They're more often will be warn about other school and sometimes create this nonsense prejudice just to ensure their students aren't associating themselves with the rivaled school.
Don't let me start with all boys/girls school.
I don't understand why are you guys quite short brain regarding this R scene. Most often only look at the surface, if you look at the psychological and behavioural issues and the year it was created. This is very common thing that happens on high schoolers. Both were abused as child and one goes until highschool. Teenagers can be wild without proper adult supervision or growth. Emotionally stunt/abused/traumatized, additional of abandonment and attachment issues can create one hell of a kid.
Let's be real, how many issues of r*/sa-ed/harassment had happened during school time? S*x/dating underage? One child is abandoned thinking no one cares about him. Other abused to believe that he has his father left and stayed despite the abuse. Remember the first chapter? Mc told 'he would do anything as long as the Ml keep quiet of the issue' and for high schoolers who never felt such power, of course they go wild. 'Jump of the roof', 'k*ll yourself', 'lick my feet and crawl', 'drink my piss'.
You guys probably never been bullied before. Go watch a korean drama 'The Glory' that's how harsh bullying can be. It's a blessing that this both still have their own inner-child kindness and found at that time.
If you include bad things in a story without ever showing that those were bad, readers have every right to complain. The glory and majority of other korean media includes bullying but never portrays it nicely. E
Even when friendship forms from bullying, either the story or some character always shows the severity of bullying.
Was there in any point of story, it was addressed how bad R, blackmailing was, was the R and blackmailing portrayed as disturbing or merely a plot part bad boy and cheap romance? No, it just tried to shrug it off and ended to make them a cutesy couple.
Then readers aren't surface level, it's the author.
True, especially based on the year it was published. Yaoi was known for started from either rape or hate
Sorry, the year doesn't excuse it. There are many good yaoi before 2017. It would've been if it was in the early 2000s.
What logic would excuse rape because of the year it was written? Mind you it was used as a plot device instead of advocacy which undermines the seriousness of it
I know everyone is questioning about how slow or there's no progression with mc and ml... The thing is, it's a slow burn. You guys have been reading too much fast pace romance that didn't make any sense realistically wise. She's reasonable enough for not getting attached as she knows her place and she knew that those men are love interest of OG fl. Addition to the fact that she put herself in a mob character and wants her reality back is a common sense. Sometimes too good to be true can be a nightmare.
If you guys want to talk about how she's being me, me, me. She actually trying to open herself more. Look at the chapters before and see how much all the characters keep encouraging her to be more open about herself to them. She's an overthinker and an introvert. The only reason you behave this way is because you've watched too many isekai-ed and transmigration/reincarnation stuffs.
I don't know why people here keep commenting how messed up or fu*ked up the story is not realising it already is FROM THE COVER OF THE MANGA.
Also, I do understand some of y'all read due to hype or good art, or how hot the characters is. But common sense need to be applied when you're approaching stories like horror and psychology. There's a reason for why there's no shojou/romance/josei inside here.
This was never a romance nor cutesy shit for readers. Additionally, I don't know why y'all have been so disgusted by incest shits going on when things like this are common in Japanese manga or any fiction guilt trip stories.
also, IT'S HAS BEEN STATED WAYYYY LONGGGG IN EARLY CHAPTER THAT HE NEVER SEEN HER AS SISTER. and she also sees him as a character and never a brother. It's pretty obvious from the start how it's narrated FROM THE FIRST FUCKING CHAPTER.
Plus, I understand how people find it weird especially if y'all are westerners especially white ppl.
But... Calling someone older than you even strangers 'brother', 'sister', 'uncle', 'auntie', 'grandpa', and 'grandma' are pretty normal in Asia. The context here is obviously different, since she never hold that as a big brother title and see him as brother. It's just a title to her
FOR. REAL.
The second a story stops aligning with what you like, drop it. It’s optional to click and read.
Them getting together has been hinted at since day one and I find it so weird that they cling onto the slim chance it wont go in that direction instead of finding a different story that would
It's like hoping in any slim chance that an apple is a peach.
Perfectly said! Like reading is an option, the manga HAS NEVER hidden how messed up it is
I'll be good and wait. As much as I love the storyline, plot and the characters. I'll be patient.... Especially when I've experienced too many fast updates stories that either ended up losing quality, rushed or the author ended up in critical unit due to overworking without proper payment or died. It's better for me to wait rather than rushing them only for them to lose motivation and ended up with writer block (｡•︿•｡)
So... I'll be good and wait.
That’s true I’ll be good and wait as well
I'm very confused of the idea of how time works with love life whether it's reincarnation, rebirth or transmigration from adult to a child and add romance inside and how reader sees it.
Rational side of me is [imagine an adult or young adult (18 >>) died and became a child and suddenly falling in love with a. A child their age (which is wrong due to their mental age.) or b. An adult (which wayy to old for their physical age BUT appropriate for their mental age.) Both sounds wrong in so many ways and any choices will get criticism because reader sees mc as a child physically (most forgets that they're previously an adult both man or woman).]
Logical side of me is [is it bad if the mc just took them as interest but never approach futher due to the age inappropriate and waited until they're fully adult to take actions/sees if they still attracted to them? I feel like it's a double standards knowing some of the reincarnations story get likes and pass for romance even when they used to an adult with adult mindset and adult behaviour but rebirth/reincarnated/transmigrated into a child and fall in love with someone around their physical age knowing that their mental age is double the number.
Your thoughts?
Plus, i hate the mother... She sounds like those narcissistic, selfish, egoistical, and self centered person that only knows how to blame others but not looking at themselves and only want to be seen as helpless person that thinks what they did is right and that's the only think they can do. Without caring about the other person's feeling or the effect it can cause. If she's in the modern world, her place is at the welfare home.
That's why they say love has no age ╮(￣▽￣)╭
But personally I prefer where there physical age is same . U know some kids tends to have mature mind but physical age difference goes into phedophile so it's kind of gross and if u r not satisfied with my answer we can further discuss (▰˘◡˘▰)
Now that I think about it.... Yeah, couldn't agree more. But then again, art nowadays keep making the older look young, and the young looks old. （/TДT)/
Yeah exactly maybe older ones nowadays follows Korean skincare (づ￣ ³￣)づ
It's just fiction..... Do you know what is fictional? This is why sometimes gatekeeping is needed. Y'all who none stop judging and thinking we gonna act it out in real life. Are you crazy? Not everyone here is an American that can walks out in public wearing furry stuffs and called it a kink and others need to normalise that. This is not a culture thing for you to normalise.
You guys are probably those who have too many privileges with savior complex or recently experiencing the privilege and "unconsciously" having savior complex.
Whoever that girl's name who ruin FL self esteem. Is so shitty. FL such a good girl and that bitch knows that and jealous that she doesn't have personality like FL so she wants to ruin FL
