how many times have i read this?? yes. love them sm ╥﹏╥
fast paced feel good plot. its not bad but could be better tbh
omg this is so good!!!!! each of the panels are chef kisss
is this good?
Yup
no. I read 20 chapters of mediocre art and plotholes story
oof can give me some spoiled examples?
sure. the mc is blackmailed by another character with a pic taken while the mc was giving them head, because of that the mc kept sleeping with them ,mc has a crush on someone homophobic and was afraid they'll find out and hate him, but suddenly he's ok with that person thinking he has a crush on ml (like, if you're gay and they're homophobic they're gonna hate you either way). ml makes the mc get blackout drunk, the mc kisses the ml and the ml proceeds to basically s.a. a drunk person and when mc cries about it in the morning ml thinks to himself that this is stupid because mc kissed him first. somehow from a phone call ml deducts the entire problem that the mc faces with the blackmail.
spoiler but i got to rant a bit. (novel reader here)
FL pmo tbh. her lack of communication is smth else. she also know her sis has no good intentions w her but still wna help her. srsly just communicate w the ml even if u wna save ur sis u can let ml know and he will def do smth abt it!!!! i thought aft they recognise each other it will be sweet and cute etc. but end up its pmo sm. they are gng in circles when the situation can be solved by just talking it out. yea anw end of rant. anw i dropped the novel will marinate this manhwa and hope it will not be as annoying
Girl, with the amount of times the fl got ridiculed for her looks, it's not surprising she's like that. But I do get ur frustration, even rn I'm actually so livid with he fl.. cuz WDYM U WENT BACK TO UR SISTER??? AND EVEN HELPED HER OUT???? It's crazy. But that reflects reality...
haahahaa yesss i get the part that she is insecure abt her looks but the way she keeps asking “why do u like me” “no way u like me” when the ml just told her why he likes her and that he likes her a second ago is just frustrating. but i get she has insecurity issues and probs need more reassurance so this is understandable but still lowkey annoying to me. however the part where she kept SIDING HER SISTER is what i dont get. she knows that her sis has no good intention towards her but she kept trying to help her. even if she wna help she could explain the situation to the ml instead of doing it secretly.
it could also be the way the novel plays out kinda draggy… maybe the manhwa may be better in terms of pacing.. hopefully
Looks like anxiety, self-doubt and low-self esteem dosnt exist for you guys. Just because paula and the author doesnt mention any mental health issues, doesnt mean paula never has it. Theres literally vincent has depression since chapter 1 yet you guys never pause and thought “paula has huge self-doubt in herself that stemmed from from her childhood and it sticked with her till this day because no one liked her like vincent does and she’s a self-sacrifice with how she kept giving up her own happiness”
We’re the readers so we know everything but try to put yourself in the character’s shoes for once. Well i doubt you guys can understand if none of ya’ll experienced a mental health issue. Must be nice to be living without mentality issues to bother you.
“Lowkey annoying to me” “its so frustrating”
Just drop the manhwa, both of you. Not worth reading this if you guys wont sympathize with Paula or understand people who are struggling with themselves and think this problem will be cured for one day. In real life, some people like Paula will resort to unaliving themselves even. Paula is already strong enough to still want to live. This manhwa is not worth reading like how it’s not worth talking to you both anymore after this. As if I wanna understand a group of people who can’t understand psychological behavior struggles of others.
People who can’t understand any mental health issues are the most annoying more than the sister or maybe no different than the sister.
A bit two cents, but I think the manhwa doesn’t depict much of Paula’s distress and trauma of losing her siblings. And if you are a novel reader, its been pointed a lot where Paula hold such a heavy guilt in losing her siblings in the past and not being able to help them. Thus, now that fear directs towards her one and only sister. She knows her sister is up to no good, but its the mental trauma and the depth of guilt she had hold the past years. she just can’t leave her behind.
I get the frustration but I feel like you truly need to feel being in Paula’s POV. Being raised poor, your siblings being sold at such a young age. Losing them. Them dying infront of you. It’s a lot to take in.
We’re lucky we dont get to live in this kinda era.
Omg... Actually take a walk outside and touch grass. Go talk to other ppl irl, and just have fun.. like genuinely u need help. Never have I said I never/dont sympathize with the fl, I even said "that reflects reality" CUZ IT ODES????? I love the manhwa for how it's so well done with showing complex emotions and situations. The author NAILED this. But that doesn't mean we can't be frustrated hello???? The very fact that were frustrated(while also understanding that the issues) with the fl, shows that this manhwa is written well. Like again, u genuinely need help and learn to reread my comment.
It's def plays a part with how she grew up. Unfortunately, ppl in real life who was abused, will sometimes go back to their abusers..... She has nobody on her side, and perhaps she believes that it's a lot better to just stick close to her sister cuz that's her only living proof that she's not "alone". Yk, cuz their blood related. I do get ur frustration, but isn't it also fun?? LMFAO idk if I'm(or we... hehe) a masochist or what, but I CRAVEEE stories like this. Just full of emotions and DRAMA. Tho I have to wait for this to up before reading, or else I'd lose all of my hair from the cliffhangers TT
Also!!! I hope the sister gets an actual karma. Like genuinely, not just some flimsy consequence where she gets scot-free..
My theory is that she's gotten so so so used to toxicity that to her, that's normal. She rushes towards it without realising. My mom is the same. She's not toxic but to her, toxicity is life(that's normal to her. And peace gives her anxiety)
Similarly, when before the timeskip, Paula got her money stolen and had nowhere else to be, her sense of home made her return to her natural habitat i.e. toxicity, i.e her sister.
I wish I could explain things as good as you.
The manhwa really doesn't properly show Paula's mental health. Reading the novel, at one point, I seriously thought that Paula has slight case of schizophrenia( I still think that)
Not everything is about fluff and love. Sometimes, actual issues need to be solved first before that. It makes the bond way stronger.
And the part where you mentioned that she's still living and moving on whereas others would kill themselves is so on point. Literally!
How can a person see the beauty of full moon if to them it looks like the most wonderful tortilla. Need makes people forget beaty and peace. Gives rise to doubt.
Paula, according to the story, is ugly, is poor, is petite, skinny, friendless
Whereas as Vincent is gorgeous, filthy rich, has attractive body and many friends.
one in Paula's shoes would always have doubts when someone having all that confesses to loving them.
That's human nature. I see this story as more of character development and less as shoujo. Not everything has to about love. This is not those boring highschool shit with multiple mls.
And the reason why she continues to help her sister is because that's her sense of self. To her, if her sister dies, she has no other family. She fucking saw all her siblings die in the most miserable way possible. She is most eldest sibling who love their siblings regardless. She has way too much empathy. And most importantly, she suffered for toxicity so much that she's used to it. That toxicity gives her a sense of home and she finds that toxicity in her sister.
Not everything is about love. Sometimes, it's about the MCs.
Thanks homie. I really liked this comment.
Yup... :C and she was basically just roaming anywhere, having no place to call "home". The only place she knows she can lay her head down is where her family lives... And look at how Paula even reacts with her sister's words and actions(after time skip). Just deadpan most of the time, and carry on with whatever she's doing. While the sister believes she won or whatever(honestly delusional) can't blame her, she's quite literally just surviving atp.
lmao u gotta chill, we can sympathize and feel annoyed and frustrated all at once yknow. u do know as a person - a human u can feel multiple feelings at once ya.
what i’m referring to is just this story that doesnt mean that i am not understanding to people who are going through tough times.
and what makes u think that i am not experiencing any issues or going through tough times?? it could very well be it hitting too close to reality which is what i feel how i feel
oh that put things into perspective. i think she is suffering from survivor's guilt. she probably kinda trauma bonded w her sister even tho she treats her so badly.
yea lucky we arent living in this kinda era
probably like stockholm syndrome? ahahhahah yes u can count me in, in the we. i like angsty drama plots - idky we do this to ourselves. but the frustration is rlly real like i just wna shake her and be like “can u look around u and see there are ppl who rlly care about u, stop gng back to ur sister pls” yes the sis needs actual karma, she need to face some actual consequences
here goes my nth time reading this. someone give me recs like this thanks
wow this is real good. i got sm goosebumps while reading this
