Almost thought this site was bugged cause the comments didn't show.
It's literally 4 am and I'm fighting to finish this book cause it's just tooooo good. Like I don't even know where to begin because it's literally like a well seasoned meal that doesn't have elements that overpower your taste buds. I wouldn't say perfection BUT it's pretty close.
Everything is just so well-written ALSO why is his BOSS so shippable? Like...
Anyways lemme finish reading
Cause I'm lazy and don't feel like typing out too much don't expect a proper "review"
I don't fault FL for not returning the feelings of her two friends. Yes, when she first hated on Grace for taking the affections of her 2 friends - it did feel weird but the reason I could continue reading was because SHE came to a point where she said, "I'd understand if they fell out of love with me. I won't force them" (or something like that).
Honestly thought she was a good sport, she only got suspicious cause they all left her at the same time. Honestly who wouldn't AND she made it a point to not lead them on. She clearly says that it a flashback ("I took the hand of my fiance not to lead them on" - again I stand to be corrected). Her treatment of the MLs (not TAN) is fair because ALTOUGH us (and FL eventually) knows that they are being brainwashed- the treatment she is currently receiving in their state is well deserved. I'd rather have her fight and eventually dislike them. She never claimed to be a saint.
I do still feel that the behavior the MLs ( not TAN) is showing feels a bit forced and over the top. Like the author needed them to be hated so we could be more supportive of the couple. I get it but I don't like it.
I probably couldn't write a better story cause I'm lazy but I'll come back when the villainess is defeated.
P.S: Love her BTW. I hate her for the plot but the scheming is satisfying. Love it when villains are villains for nonsensical reasons cause why be good and boring
P.P.S: LOL( ̄∇ ̄") i said I was lazy too type but got carried away. It's still not all that I wanted to say but I guess yall get the gist of it.
P.P.P.S: the father's betrayal hurt me so badly
I disagree. She was completely valid for hating on the bimbo and her 3 himbos.
I'ts not about them falling out of love, it's about the circumstances when it happened.
They just came back from the travel of killing the demon king where she offered herself as a decoy and had been bedridden for months since. Instead of worrying for her and checking out on her they were partying and following this rando.
Fine, let's say they were overwhelmed by her beauty and wits enough to forget about their last love. Aren't they still friends? Shouldn't they still care about her well being? Check if she is, you know, ALIVE? And then when she wakes up, instead of being happy they think: good! now I can get my stuff back and give it to my new chick! :)
This, at the very least makes them scumbags. I'ts completely fine to fall out of love, but the when they did it, how they did it, and how fast they did it is what makes her reaction 100% valid.
Also, even before meeting grace and confirming she is a bi**; she supposedly went to a banquet to celebrate and thank the return of the 4 heroes. let me repeat because there is no caps for numbers 4!!! heroes, but one couldn't attend because she was BERRIDEN (and we are judging this from selonias pov, not knowing she caused all of this and she is doing it on purpose, just to see if she is justified to be mad with 0 context).
Grace, who claims to be there to honor them like the rest, cozies up to HER FIANCE AND THE OTHER 2. Even if it was unintentionally, he doesn't refuse them, and parades them over the parties.
I mean, COM ON!!!
Out of everything, I ABSOLUTELY LOATHE how Ian was treated. Gawd, if you could see my rage!!!
I have no problem with 2nd ML's and falling in love with the FL but , why must they always be written jn such a way that makes me feel so depressed. Im not even going to go in depth about the different characters BUT Ian deserved so much bett3r.
Im not saying he is a better fit for Camilla but a man who yearns and loves like that deserves someone who will return his feelings. It just breaks my heart that he constantly put himself at a risk and for what? For the FL to fall back into the Ml's arms.
It was an okay read. I won't say a masterpiece but it is well-written. Yes, I do feel like Camila kinda always had a setback when it came to her confidence. Like the one moment she is girlboss, who looks after herself then the next moment she's written to be completely dependent on the men surrounding her. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜 im too lazy to expand further otherwise it wasn't a bad read.
If you read this Manga expecting a plot-driven, intense action filled drama with mystery, tension and drama- sorry wrong book.
This is genuinely one of the calmer mangas with minimum angst and heartache. Basically a slice-of-life where the lead characters slowly fall in again and actually the romance doesn't take long to happen. Once the fl realizes that she fell in love with the ml there wasn't the typical rejection of her emotions cause "my pride is greater than the love I have for my man"
When it comes to dynamics between it really felt like a couple who has feelings for each other but they needed an external force to make things work. I understand the ML reluctance due to low self-esteem but once FL reassured him that she will stand by him against the world you see the confidence he starts to build. The Fl is also a really refreshing character who knows exactly what she wants and is very stable in her personality. As I said, I love how determined and loyal she is.
The side characters are not all that bad BUT this is a story where the main focus is on the mains. I would have loved to see a snippet in the Uncle's romance ( he seems to have such a layered personality) and the girl who had that cheating scum of a boyfriend' I would have loved to see her more as an frenemy who actually is a loyal person.
But hey, feel free to disagree. I just feel that this isn't really a story that is meant to be critiqued harshly but just meant to be enjoyed for passing of the times sake. It is a cute romances sbwl. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
I don't wanna lie low-key the uke was actually really annoying. Like why couldn't he just TALK about what he was going through. BUT I had to step and come to to a realisation that he was BADLY wounded by his father since young and by a guy who took advantage of his lowest state.
I mean imagine being treated less than a servant by your own father since birth. Being kicked out of the house because your stepmother didn't want you around (I can't imagine how she was treating him cause from the obvious favouritism between his sister and him). Being used like a bloodbath by your father. Being kicked out of your only safe spot by that same POS because you refused to go back after finally gaining some happiness. Then when in your absolute lowest you get used by a guy because you looked like his ex.
Like If I were in his shoes I too would have a hard time giving my heart because of the fear of someone breaking it. I feel in a way he wanted actual physical proof of being family with the seme. I mean it makes sense because of his hurt and trauma. I'd too find it hard trusting people again after going through all that
Not that he is completely innocent since the seme has been hurt by his indecision and constant mistrust but looking at the Uke' s past it's understandable why he behaves that way. BUT at least the Uke still managed to open his heart to the seme. You can see he knows what he is doing and not once does he make the seme's feelings less revelant than his own. He acknowledges that he too has hurt him and still apologises.
Although the father dying in the car accident was too unsatisfactory for me. I wanted him to live long and see Uke thrive. I wanted him to live a long life in absolute misery. Then you get Seme's parents- ABSOLUTE GOALS. Like it's thanks to them that uke could heal nicely. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)










Only reason why Im stopping at Ch7 - I know that 22yr old will.be the ML. And he is way better off as as a friend and someone who looks up to her than a lover.
Nothing against Age gaps- in fact I LOVE (☆▽☆) them BUT not when the FL could is fresh out of the divorce and needs to possible heal since I just read her father did the same. Like she needs to soak in life and the ML is too young in life to deal with someone who come out of something so heavy. It's too soon.
So imma just treat this story as a oneshot and end it here ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
