Personally I'm not into a dynamic like this, and I prefer characters that are in a relationship to be both unhinged or normal so I'm going to drop this. I'm sure that there are a lot of people who also don't like stuff like this but I don't understand why there are so many hate comments? If you don't like it, drop the story, why are you cursing the author or shitting on the story just because it's not to your taste? (⊙…⊙ )
This guy has three love interests yet somehow this guy seems to have the worst life out of all the characters so far (I'm at chapter 28) and the one that he wants doesn't want him back.
1st love interest: His fiancee. Bro's fiancee doesn't like him romantically, is literally down bad for ML's sister, and bro doesn't want her either.
2nd love interest: Main character. She doesn't like him romantically, probably has a small crush on ML, low status so they have a low chance of actually getting together, and he wants her so bad. I can feel the yearning
MC going into the bathroom just to contemplate life and no action happening is somehow relatable
He's just like me ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
First off, I just wanna say that I really like this story and how nuanced it was. It completely exceeded my expectations as someone who thought it was just gonna be an average story I would read to be happy because stories that have nuance are often angsty or on hiatus for two years.
It's a rare kind of story because I pretty much like every character (that was developed ofc) in this story and I never once disliked any of them. I have a short fuse so a lot of stories make me angry easily (and it's common even in well made stories so I think it's a me problem) and whenever I read something that doesn't, it makes me extremely happy and fulfilled.
Onto the frustrating part (spoilers ahead)

This was so good and it would've been a 5/5 if the ending wasn't like that
AMNESIA??? SERIOUSLY??? OH AND I DON'T EVEN GET TO SEE ML AND FL BEING A COUPLE? THE PART WHERE THEY WENT OUT FOR A DATE WAS IN NO WAY ENOUGH!
Seriously, if the author REALLY REALLY WANTED TO DO AMNESIA, they could have at least gave us 3 chapters of them starting over. Or it could also go like Surviving Romance where MC forgets but ML remembers or something like that.
The main thing I'm frustrated about is how we were given this illusion where we would get to see ML and FL eventually becoming a couple, doing couple things, and perhaps a time skip BUT NO! WE GET A SMALL SNIPPET!
The build up was completely wasted and I feel deceived ╥﹏╥
I just wanna know, which chapter does MC get back his memories? I am NOT checking chapter by chapter for this ヽ(`Д´)ノ
I need to know two things:
Firstly, which chapter does the manager get fired? I'm going to start reading this from that chapter onwards. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Secondly, please reply to this comment if MC ever EVER becomes confident and stops trying to exclude himself (Ik it's gonna take quite a while but pls pls pls I need to know when it happens) ╥﹏╥
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu and have a nice week
[INCOMING RANT ALERT!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! ]
Haven't read the entire thing yet (and it's still ongoing), but I just gotta say that this is a very VERY refreshing read among the numerous main characters that have to bottle everything up and let people step all over them. I've never been so happy reading a story when it isn't a silly or lighthearted one. ╥﹏╥
Of course, there are "badass" main characters that do go toe to toe against antagonists but most of the time, they're the same! Except, oh, this character trash talks and roasts the antagonists in their head! Wow! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
So satisfyi—ok never mind, the main character just got slapped and they gotta take it like a champ because how dare you lash out? How DARE you go against the culture norm of most Asians by not being passive aggressive and smiling through the pain? How dare you actually express your feelings and hate a character that has been treating you horribly instead of being grateful? How dare you be anything less than picture perfect?
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧

Did that get you fired up? Do YOU want to defend a badass character you have in mind that doesn't fit this main character mold? Reply to this comment with a link to the story or the title!
PS: I don't really mind this kind of characters, in fact, it used to be one of my favorite main character molds. However, it's everywhere and it's just exhausting when they keep appearing regardless whether I want to read a story about such a character at all. Oh, and I may be reading too much manhwa lately so the rant is so long (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
Lastly, I swear this was totally not a bait for badass main characters. Nuh uh. (⊙…⊙ )
Do not read unless you've read until chapter 99 (it's not exactly spoilers but still...)

I'm being delusional right now because of the cliffhanger BUT HEAR ME OUT! They said those scenes MC and ML saw were what they needed to "prevent", however, they clearly haven't seen the full thing of what happens in their alternate universe, so what if one of them ends up dying later and that's what needs to be prevented?
OR! THIS WHOLE THING NEEDS TO BE PREVENTED SO THAT THEY GET TOGETHER ANYWAY? WHAT IF IT'S FOR A SPECIFIC LINE UP OF EVENTS TO HAPPEN????
Or perhaps, it's supposed to be prevented BECAUSE it leads to an unfortunate event! Think about it, ML seems to become more possessive and overprotective, which may have actually made MC decide to distance himself and things escalated, WHICH IS WHY IT NEEDS TO BE PREVENTED! IT'S A SIGN MADE TO ML FOR HIM TO CHILL! MAYBE IT'S A META THING LIKE ORV!!!!
Overall, I liked this even though it had stuff I usually wouldn't like and its own flaws. (Long review incoming ( ̄∇ ̄") )
Things I appreciated/liked in this story:
- The main character's unique personality. I don't believe there is another character quite like him. At first, I thought he was just going to be yet another dense MC used for comedic relief and to show off how "smart" his love interest is, but he wasn't. He had actual emotional depth and he wasn't as dumb as we are made to believe.
- MC stayed true to his beliefs. If he didn't want to do more than simple guiding, he did not — even under manipulation/pressure. When he believed ML truly needed his guiding and wanted to guide him, he persisted through ML's discouragement and succeeded in doing what he thought was best for ML.
- The story successfully convinced me that the whole run away arc was needed for two main reasons —the ML's horrible communication skills that led to MC feeling upset and the further development of MC. Both of these reasons contribute a lot to the story, so I personally thought it was good thing it was fleshed out using this arc. Next, since I already felt that this arc was necessary, naturally, I didn't feel repulsed by them getting back together again. In fact, I think MC does the running away troupe well. (At least compared to the female leads of Otome Isekai)
Stuff I didn't like in this story:
- The lack of development for MC's relationships with ML's guild members. There was minimal interactions, and none of the members had their characters or backstory fleshed out. Their relationships with one another were extremely surface level.
- That one guild member lashing out at MC. It was understandable but there were no consequences at all (or perhaps there was, but it was shown off screen), which was mildly disheartening. Speaking of consequences, there were none for the guy who kept trying to make MC leave ML, worse still, they're acting as if they are friends. Perhaps MC is just dense, but it's disappointing.
- ML's improvement should have been shown more to readers through more chapters. It wasn't enough considering the amount of change the ML would have to go through for MC since he was originally a red flag ML.
DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE ACTUAL SONGS FOR THIS STORY ON YOUTUBE???? AHHHHHHHHH ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
I haven't started reading this yet so I just wanna know, when does the angst arc start? I'm planning on avoiding those chapters until that arc ends ( ̄∇ ̄")
Never actually read the novel and I only know this because of a specific fanfic on Quotev but I'm so excited ヾ(☆▽☆)
I'm gonna combust once the first chapter drops.
The ending was kind of rushed but the fact that I've actually enjoyed a story like this shows that it was pretty well written. It's not exactly the most intellectual story to read, but it did what it did best —and I like that, because sometimes authors get so wrapped up in trying make something a hit that they forget the original direction of a story.
This was really refreshing of a story, especially for the romance fantasy/romance genre because of how our MC found out reasonably quickly about her feelings and decided to immediately try to tell ML instead of stalling (I'm glad they made her character stay true to herself) and the way the ML's denial stage was surprisingly well done. On the surface, it's just like any other romantasy ML's denial stage, but since it was so fitting of ML's personality, it was so natural and actually fits into the storyline well.
While I'm curious about how the royal family stuff was actually wrapped up, I really enjoyed this, so if you want a chill, funny and non-problematic story to read, read this, it was a 10/10.
While waiting for new chapters, I wanna know if there are any similar stories to this. I like this kind of premise a lot but the MC tends to be a pushover or someone mellow which makes me hold off reading, so I want a MC similar to this MC
This MC is actually everything I've ever wanted in a main character
10/10 story btw (⌒▽⌒)
On one hand, yes, OG!Yise is being an absolute ass. On the other hand, dude isn't exactly in the best condition, and CLEARLY, unlike the story "The One Within The Villainess", doesn't get to see the protagonist work really hard for OG!Yise to succeed, and therefore regards him as a bad guy. So either he is acting just like usual... OR! He is being an ass OUT OF SPITE
Also! MC DID NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG. Did he ask for this? No. Did he try his best to improve his life and achieve OG!Yise's dreams? YES! SO WHY IS IT THAT PEOPLE ARE PICKING SIDES?!
I hate that this situation is happening and will probably skip this arc BUT I don't hate OG!Yise, and logically wise, there is no reason to! Because that is his character! Sure, some people change when they get what they want, but others DON'T!
Yeah no um pls tell me this guy leaves soon because if not, I'm gonna just be glancing through the chapters after 26 ╥﹏╥
No idea how but this guy grosses me out more than MC's previous manager which is a MIRACLE (and not in a good way) (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸
I love this though, and I'm trying to not read the novel because I know I'm gonna be sleeping at 1am if I even TOUCH the novel ( ̄へ ̄)
I just wanna say: Before you come to a conclusion, read the novel or wait until the manhwa finishes. (︶︿︶)
As someone who read the novel up until chapter 127, I'm honestly pretty torn between the scammer guy and the OG!ML. Yes, scammer guy is awful BUT there is character development, and y'all are gonna have to wait for quite some time until said character development happens. As for the OG!ML, my love for this character probably peaked at ONE specific chapter where I was just swooning all the way IN PUBLIC. (≧∀≦)
All I can say is that they are both massive yearners, except scammer guy realizes later than OG!ML
