imo you shouldn't read this not bc the uke is dumb, you SHOULDN'T read this bc of how fucking unlikeable everyone is. uke's love interest (now bf) is a fucking jerk that basically pressured uke into a relationship. he also is a toxic clinger like bro is controlling asf istg. AND uke was literally raped and abused by his boss and colleague like the majority of the story if he wasn't forced by his bf. like his thinking is rational enough but the situation he's been put in is basically fucked from the getgo. PLUS when he does starts dating his bf there's literally not chemistry or build up for their romantic relationship at all other than the boyfriend forcing himself onto mc(uke). i feel so fucking bad for this guy
if sowoon is actively writing like as the days come, why the fuck is the work handed like as a one time shit ykwim like he gave the TA the work already and the story is unfolding as it goes and it's not like he gave him like a daily update or smth so is the story just a prediction of the days that come leading to the other guy leaving? like imo there's so many like weird messy plot holes going on like a lot. hence why j feel like this is bad writing. it's a great concept for sure and the art is amazing but author should really re-examine their story flow again
Actually, it's not bad writting, just that you're a bit slow with the way it's written. Not being mean by the way.
Basically Sowoon submitted his real diary by accident. All stuff written in there were stuff that already happened, and Mr. Heo was basically imagining everything CONCERNING Sowoon's diary. The timeline might be off for you, because it switches to Mr. Heo having his daily struggles at school (LOL) and then the same Heo picturing the diary of Sowoon.
by accident? girl it was made explicitly clear that the diary IS the work he wanted to send in (with the full version being available for reading online, like what the TA found) . I'm saying the writing's off BECAUSE it wasn't made clear that it's switching povs and timeline, which the author should be aware of when making stories with multiple of them stringed tgt, that's basics of fiction writing
I suggest to reread the 9th chapter again. It clearly says that Sowoon turned it in by accident.
I'll type it for you:
Mr Heo: "You turned in the wrong manuscript, right?"
[...]
Sowoon: "So that's what happened. I'm such an idiot. No one else would've made that mistake. I kept on worrying that someone might have read it."
Now, if that doesn't make it clear for you that he turned his diary/novel by accident, I don't know what to say bro. Maybe fix your reading comprehension
but she's just a bit too naive for my tastes i think , i was trying to love her quirks and all but it feels too much of telling rather than showing ykwim?? i mean it's more so like I'm reading a novel with pictures rather than reading a webtoon rn and sure that can be fun as i do enjoy novels but this one is too much "quirky girl narration" for me and while i understand she's trying to be potrayed as being young spirit here, I'm literally the same age as her and i thought it was too corny , like someone who's never meet an 18 y/o tryna write abt an 18 y/o
You're right. And I thought I was the only one thinking it's getting kinda boring. Like nothing's really happening. Everything is being narrated as a letter.
