I personally enjoyed this and i dont regret reading it but there are several things i wanna mention.

Pacing: the pacing is pretty bad especially at the end (chapter 60-66).
I can look past the big timeskips in the beginning, but near the end it gets kinda clunky, it was obvious the author just wanted the story to end im ngl .
Even though Jerry’s feelings for Ilya were marinating since the beginning (he was in denial because he only saw everyone as dolls with predetermined fates). And it was only in the end that we got to see him start to see him acknowledge those feelings. I wouldve loved to see more sweet interactions between them near the end. ITS CRAZY WE DIDNT EVEN SEE THEM KISS DURING THEIR WEDDING LIKE WTH.

Plot: So many details didnt get shown much love at all (karyan, weird fortune teller guy, mc’s backstory, etc)
It feels like somewhere along the line, the author just decided to drop certain things, most likely because it wouldve required more effort put into those ideas for them properly develop.
For example: Siren. For some reason he was on the likability thing, but Jerry didnt earn any points with him and its just “???” the whole time. What was the point of including that if you werent gonna develop it even a little bit? And Karyan just randomly disappeared, like what?? I quite liked him too so it was disappointing to see how Jerry always be so uncomfortable around him and he just never gets the chance to properly warm up to him, but idgaf im just mad Karyan never showed up again.
And i feel like when the fortune teller asked Jerry who he was, it lowkey opened a whole new plot/storyline, like Jerry couldve experienced some sort of identity crisis or homesickness as he juggled his past life and whatnot, but i cant really build onto those ideas because we hardly know who he was in his past, how he felt about his past life or what kind of life he lived. We just see the same fuckass image of him getting run over by truck kun .

Lastly and arguably the worst about this manhwa: The incest romance route.
To be fair, Jerry was never pleased about him having his brothers as romance options, in fact it disgusted him. And i really liked that. But the incest wasnt really unnecessary at all but it was handled WAY better than i thought it would.

HOT TAKE: the incest part was lowkey important because it somehow led to some amazing character development.
Jerry’s initial aversion to interacting with any of his brothers in fear of accidentally initiating their routes showed how Jerry kept putting power into the system, letting it dictate his choices and whatnot.
but you can see Jerry warming up to them when he learns that his brothers just genuinely love him as family, letting him find his place in their lives without the constant fear of the system forcing him to be with any of them.
And it made me so happy to see their routes deleted, not just because i hate the incest, but because it shows Jerry’s mutual acknowledgment and love for his brothers knowing that if he doesnt want to pursue them, he simply doesnt have to. Which shows him gradually gaining control over his life!

But i will say, one of the things the author did right was character development because my cheeks r hurting from how cute the ilya and jerry are

he really cried to get that bussy im dead

who tf translated chpt 185

And the tears just keep rolling bro also new character unlocked??

Idk how to feel about the blondie being 20 when he met the mc who was 5 years old at the time…

Y’all the chemistry is actually out of this world, like the sexual tension… like I feel like interrupting fr, got me feeling like I’m eavesdropping..

I wish I coulda taken that veiny ahh dih

The uploader needs they bootyhole ate out THANK YOUUUUUUUU

This manhwa is kinda odd to me. The only character I actually liked was Jaerim, he’s my son fr, and Yuri was only ever tolerable when they have their cute moments together. I get the Yuri went thru some things, but it’s crazy to me how Jaerim put up with him for as long as he did I, wanted him to like—give himself a break from yuri, cuz Yuri really had me stressing thru this damn phone. It also felt like Jaerim was putting in so much effort to make it work, but it didn’t really feel to me that Yuri was putting in that same effort especially when he turned his back on him so fast when the girl bully’s boyfriend forced himself onto Jaerim, like what…and on that topic, I hated that part so much like I didn’t really have much faith in Jaerim and Yuri’s relationship and the dude and Jaerim were some what cute but when he did what he did, I never felt like throwing up so much. Pissed me tf off.

Another thing, to me i felt iffy about the side couples, I didn’t too much care for Yumin and Dohoon, the only one I found interesting was Dunno and The former President (forgot his name), but there was so little on them, and I couldn’t stand that former prez, fucking ass hole. Aerak and Heeno were alright, it was sad to me but man it feels so odd how Aerak was insecure about his past so I really wanted him to get over that and accept the fact he used to be fat but alas. And Heeno was better off as a side character imo.

No lie this story is pretty good when you’re looking for an emotional type of story but it also feels kind of incomplete to me in many ways and almost all of the characters are pretty dislikable imo. JAERIM tho

I love woori sm and I lwk wanted him and mc to be good friends, if not partners but it’s pretty damn obvi who the mc is gonna end up w…the ml is kinda iffy tho esp w the latest chapter like what…to completely disregard sm as personal as a confession smh JUSTICE FOR WOORI (and maybe he’ll end up w that other dude)
