… it’s irritating and disingenuous to have the MC constantly blushing and playing the virgin at full tilt. It’s not cute and it’s boring. The ML is far more engaging and sympathetic as a character than the supposedly modern transmigrator who should know the mechanics of the horizontal lambada and should be less pre-teen and more mature about it? Is the target demographic of this story supposed to be the tween set? All the eeking is just sooooooo lame and I’m only 11 chapters in…
... I was going to say, why break the law, just find a dude outside the kingdom and marry him...
Probably doesn’t wanna risk an innocent persons like
With all the other stories I’m reading, my heart was starting to feel tattered and worn down. These authors are so damn determined to make readers understand how flawed we are as a species and I’ve been swimming in sorrow until my fingers became pruney. Thank you, Pession. Just… thank you.
... still, if I were Michel, I might be a bit pissed at the reveal because it's such a trap. He was going to feel like sh*t either way - love 'im and leave 'im for the "betrothed" or fall in love and beg to elope, abandoning the "betrothed." $2 says that Michel is going to face vilification and scorn either way. Well, it should be interesting from here out, but I would still sulk in a dark room, burrowed into a high, wing-back chair in front of a roaring fire, all Poe-like for at least a month to demonstrate my displeasure at being played.
i love how this comment is written
I would like to see that because Michel shouldn't be played that way.
He has demostrated to be honest guy, and now he is hurt. It would take time for Ain to redem himself
Aww, thanks! I usually just get lots of hate because I don’t always go with the popular opinion and then I start tangent spiraling, hehehe. I’m frankly terrified to voice my true feelings about how they outfitted Michel - the apple-greens and shell-pinks are NOT my cuppa… shhhhh….
I wholeheartedly agree Katsura-he’s struggling with being ejected from his homeland, contracted into a marriage agreement that wasn’t what he was prepared for, introduced to a relationship dynamic he didn’t pursue, essentially groomed by a proxy to ensure he wouldn’t kick up a fuss and STILL acted honorably until the inevitable emotional turmoil engendered by physical and psychological manipulation was complete and even then he was willing to take the blame for breaking the betrothal to follow his heart. Still, I have eyes and Ain/Ian (still laughing at how freaking obvious that was from the jump) is beautiful, so I’m just popping up some corn for the next train wreck episode.
Yes!!
Everything that you said..yes!!
Michel is too good for his own good. I hope that he doesn't forgive so easily to Ain just because he love him
...Do they know HOW to smile? Are they just consciously avoiding situations that could inadvertently generate levity? I just feel so damn sad after every freaking episode and it's like I'm powerless to abandon this damn story because I want them to find solace in each other...
... is beautiful. You would think that the sandy hair and gray eyes would make him look dull and forgettable, but he's just lovely, like the sunrise through translucent curtains that make everything look soft and cozy.
I don’t often just dump on a character, but the author flubbed this MC hard. ML is well developed, multi-faceted, and endearing. A little goofy, but strong and forthright, but her? I’ve read 17 bloody chapters and she is as dull as dirt with her “yer mah lil’ bruhther” dipshittery. I rarely don’t not care about how a story ends, even the bad ones, but I really just hope that she stays in her little boring town that she loves in her little bookstore with her little life and her little pangs of regret and fades into her boring demise as she watches everyone else live with vigor and joy and anger and fear and curiosity. She has an opportunity and she is just waiting to be convinced that it’s worth it to take a chance. Zzzzzzs….
The way authors write these female characters is self insert at best and misogynistic at worst.
Sometimes the best and WORST advice is to write what you know. I mean, I could write an entire epic with a FL as an IT security analyst, but who on God's green earth is going to think, "Yeah, she's really, really interesting, this smuttery is fire"? Hell, I'm bored just considering it.
I mean sometimes it works there’s some fics out there where the author writes the mc in their same work field/ niche and I find it interesting. Theres one on here where the MC is a smut romance webtoon artist. I mean any field can be smutty if you play your cards right.
…Connie didn’t go dark because of Ian. She wants to keep Bell to herself… Saw it coming but didn’t think it would go down that path with all the debutante behavior.
