Do you know what pisses me off.

When the male lead in earlier chapters says "theres no way you are leaving me"

And that statement becomes true

Yeah sure she left but it wasnt permanent.

I dont care if he had a redemption arc (if you can even call it that)

But the arrogance pisses me off.

Is the author going to kill off the parents and make them raise their brother as if its their son?

Oop anyways I need to drop this, I tried giving the stepbrother trope one last chance, it was okay in the beginning but the fact that they have a little brother is putting me off completely.

Gurl Bye!!!

I started reading this recently. So far its been okay. I usually dont like to read stepbrothers to lovers, but I just decided to give this a chance.

There is one thing I dont like, that authors tend to do and I never really see anyone speak about it. Its when they make one or both of the characters have no friends.

In this story Sohm has no friends. It feels like its enforcing "I can't live without you" and I meen I get it. I like it but not when it feels codependent, if hou get what I mean. The idea that his whole world revolves around Geon is a bit off putting for me.

So far thats my only critque. I just prefer stories where 2 characters can be each others world but still have their own lives outside of each other.

Sorry for the spam, but I just need to get this last thing off my chest. Also I typed this in frustration if notice any grammatical errors and spelling mistskes, just bear with it please. I was not in the mood to edit and check.

I absolutely hated it and was dying of cringe when he referred to himself as “daddy” during their spicy scenes, and when he said, “I’ve molded you to fit all my preferences, and now I’m supposed to let another asshole have you?” EWWW. So creepy. Typical grooming talk.

2) Her desperation — and that’s why it’s even more frustrating that she goes back to him. I hated how she was begging him to divorce his wife. Bro, he’s going to cheat on you in 10 years when he sees another 18-year-old. Writers love using cheating as a trope to prove that a couple’s love is so strong. Notice how so many favorite love stories involve cheating:

- The Notebook
- Bridgerton S2
- Scandal

There are so many more. Dang, this story really rage-baited me. I need to calm down!

It’s so annoying when the arrogant guy wins in the end. That ego and overconfidence in believing she will never leave, and then also saying that he knows her so well and that she was lying, was so annoying. Well, she never had a backbone, so I guess we can’t be too surprised.

Because I would call the cops if my ex kept showing up at my workplace, and I would obviously call an ambulance, but then call his family member to look after him. But no, she’s too dickmatized to even think clearly.

And don’t even get me started on how the author made her have sex with Hwaik so it would seem like she’s not dickmatized, because there’s still that stigma of a woman being attached to the man who took her first time, that they form an emotional attachment.

This is why I hate couples with pre-established relationships, because I’m really confused about how she fell in love with him in the first place.

I don’t get it.

Im so curious what are the comments from the actual korean readers or on the legal websites. Did people actually like this story.

Cause I know sometimes korean and foreigner opinions can differ

One thing Im happy about is the fact that Hwaik was the one who ended things, Ive read too many love triangles where the MC rejects the 2nd ML at least this time he was like nope, Im out. Good on you sir!

I genuinely want to understand why she would make Yewon forgive that creep and take him back after everything.

I’m so sick of authors giving us a better 2nd ML just for the FL to choose the shitty ML. Like, I think most of us are tired of that repetitive plot. They always make the woman choose the toxic man who, in the end, changes for her.

I have so many questions. Like, why is rape somehow justified when it’s the ML? But when it happens to a random character, suddenly it’s taken seriously? You can’t romanticize rape under the guise of “rough sex.” It’s weird. I went back to look at some chapters because this story is so frustrating, and I needed to check before making a comment.

Like, this asshole doesn’t deserve redemption at all, especially after chapter 24. Also, notice how in chapter 14 or 15, I think, she notices his ring, but then he subtly removes it while preying on her. That is so damn creepy. It makes me wonder, if she knew he was married from the beginning, would she have still gone through with it? But then again, she stayed even after she found out, and the way the author wants us to sympathize with her and feel sorry for her... girl, bye. I have no empathy for you.

All that suffering, all that work to move on, and you still forgive him and take him back? Fainting is also so emotionally manipulative on the author’s part. Three years of toxicity, she leaves for a year, and let me guess, she’s going to forgive him within a month.

And the author trying to justify the cheating trope by making the marriage a business deal. Bruh, be so for real. If you’re going to write a taboo story, then write a taboo story. Don’t try to find excuses to justify it.

Even her losing her virginity to him was annoying because it creates this narrative that a woman is somehow forever attached to the man who took her first time. I’m so tired of the love trap.

Poor people have to much pride when it comes to money (I too am a poor person) but seriously the MC is putting to much pressure on himself. Bruh look at your husband, he isnt going to think you are a gold digger and even if you were I doubt he would care.

I haven't laughed this much in a while
