this is a very cut and dry childhood to lovers story and in an attempt to extend it and make it more...exciting (?) the author decided to bring in MR.Doppleganger. Had he looked even less like her literally deceased brother, I feel like I wouldn't have had such a huge issue with it. Instead, he's a carbon copy and it's honestly disgusting to even think about in a romantic sense. Sure our fmc doesn't even look his way, not really, but that is still a distracting portion of the plot. Had they just kept it to childhood friends to lovers with some grief and guilt spread in between, it would've been just fine.
the suffering and toxicity takes too long in the story and I'm not confident the ending is worth it. nearby dropped and will never recommend this to anyone. mind you, I read some fucked up shit but God damn
Yeah bru it was so brutalll
This suffers from the same thing these shoujo romances suffer from, unoriginality and pure boredom. There is nothing that sets this apart from any other dress wearing cover shoujo Manhwa. stop making these snooze fests
What would you do to make shine then??
cancel production. the story is inherently flawed and thus there is no saving this specific narrative
this had a great start. female gaze centered, pacing was good, porn but for the girlies. after their first time together it just becomes slop. I don't get how women write shit like this supposedly for other women but consistently miss the mark. female centered sex scenes are so fucking scarce and the ones that start good even get subverted. I'm so tired
so I know I signed up for this but goodness. I've never read something that's flustered me as bad as this has
I think all around it's a nice story. The last 5 chapters of the competition itself were atrocious, cringe, and unnecessary.
one of those stories that would've dragged had it gone any longer. perfect length, great chemistry.
