WHAT COULDVE BEEN (but really never quite got there)
what ruined it all? harem and bland ass mc.
look. i tried, i failed, and i unintentionally stumbled right into a harem. fuck my life. hours wasted. IT WAS CUTE. IT WAS CUTE. I AM NOW SO UPSET. I’m up to the beauty pageant art when i’m kind of like suspicious of the sexualisation of it all - hyper and that’s when the dip downhill begins to just fucking nosedive. PLOT CRASHED. PLOT GONE. PLOT IN FLAMES. WHY IS THE BEST FRIEND SUDDNELY SMITTEN WITJ HER BESTIES FIRST LOVE. LIKE STOP. WHY TF HAVE YOU FALLEN IN LOVE WITH HIM??? girl code broken. girl code in the grave.
FURTHERMORE. THIS FXUKING MALE LEAD IS JUST THERE. HES JUST THERE. WHAT EVEN IS IDENTITY? bc whatever it is, he doesn’t have it. it’s not in the room with us. He’s passive asf, letting girls invade his personal space and he’s “nervous” whilst rejecting them under the guise of his religion which i respect but is clearly just there as a cockblock to the plot so he’s not dating and sleeping and going out with every girl in the school. Like jesus christ. why is everyone OBSESSED with him. Love triangle, i get - it’s an unfortunate plot device used too generously in shoujo to the detriment of the audience’s sanity, and the satisfaction of no one. BUT TO HAVE SO MANY. TO HAVE A HAREM. BY GOD. MY GOD.
it was wholesome. it was sweet. i was excited by the sheer number of chapters. now i am but a sad readers, sorely disappointed and my time was properly wasted.
UPDATE 2: where the flying fuck is this story’s direction? i love the male lead. I love the art. The concept and premise is fantastic. HOWEVER, there is absolutely zero plot, i don’t know what i’m reading, i’m sorely disappointed and the female lead is giving nothing. Is the romantic chemistry in the room with us? I don’t think so.
Someone give to this story some CPR, every character (except for our gorgoeus male lead) is so frustratingly annoying with nonsensical motives that are just exaggerated to hyperbolic and comedic ridiculousness, and i simply cannot take any of it seriously.
The pink haired wench exists only to be an obstacle for the main girl, literally bending over backwards to ruin her life for absolutely no reason, literally engaging in supernatural witchcraft and for what? FOR WHAT? Petty dislike? There’s no motive at all and she only exists to be annoying, there’s absolutely no rhyme or reason and it’s fine for a while but my god to make 17+ chapters just of this tired drama is exhausting and simply stupid.
I have such a big bone to pick with the SML - bro wtaf. You lead the main girl on but behind her back kiss the pink haired girl and your whole thing is making fun of the main girl and excluding her aw how evil, but plot twist! You’ve loved her for 10 years. Un-fucking-believable. What do you even mean? It makes no sense. NO SENSE. Like make it make sense. Like what is even happening rn?
MOST OF ALL. the main girl. where did she die and lose absolutely every single redeeming trait about her? I’ve not seen one. Her development is embryonic, and that’s generous of me to say. She’s dryer than stale bread. Her only characteristics are glasses and high tight egg-head ponytail evidence of her bully’s influence (who may i add, once again, IS DOING THIS FOR NO REASON?), her uptight no-no-no-ness and her oh so poor siblings. She’ll get a glow up and wow more jealousy. more drama. more romance yay. It’s dry it’s tired and it needs rethinking. She’s so predictable i fall asleep every time she’s on my screen.
The male lead tiger is hard carrying everything, from serving looks to serving plot to serving chemistry with every character - he’s the only reason why i’m even bothering with this story any more.
IT STARTED SO WELL SO PERFECT SO LOVELY but my god do the later chapters make my want to throw my phone against the wall. There is so much unnecessary drama and like I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING.
plot? i don’t know her. pacing? she’s not even on this planet.
it’s just needless relationship meandering and it gets much too out of character - anyways read up to chapter 90, and it seems like that’s the end? or not? or perhaps infinite hiatus? idfk what’s happening in it.
if you read this i recommend you stop around the chapter 60-65 mark, that way the reading experience is not soured by all the events that follow
Exactly my thoughts, this is so good until the end of season 1 around ch 72 at first I thought Kisung would be like those clichés ML that will just give himself up for the sake of family and like oh God this is so gonna be unnecessarily dramatic but I was wrong he's so good until the end. After the end of season one I thought it's just gonna be a side story I remember reading this I'm sad I'm nearing the end.
I don't understand why the author decided to ruin the last chapters. Like tf? Female lead got so annoying I def love her in the beginning and I don't get why did the author do it for like 10 or 15 ch remaining I feel like it was so wasted. It could've been so good until the end. Anyway, still so good I'll read this again and just skip the part wherin the white hair guy appear and pretend it didn't happen. LOL.
This could've so good until the end haysssss
