I also generally dislike the “playboy” trope, but you should reconsider dropping this, because it’s really good! I disliked Cárcel at first but he grows on you.
A LIGHT SPOILER as to why you should keep reading:
...
It’s revealed he was already interested in Ines when she was younger (~16), but (due to very valid reasons) she refused to see him, and he tried to catch her attention by flirting with other women... Well, things just went downhill from there, and so we get to the way things were at the start of the story.
He repeatedly affirms he was in the wrong and Ines is too good for him, and doesn’t excuse his behavior. Also, he finds Ines attractive both dolled up and dressed like a nun! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Yeah, the author had such a poor writing in this. Poor him, he didn't even realise he liked her, he had to go out and fuck other women in the hopes lf gaining her attention, but of course, this is only subconsciously, and he only realized it after marriage. Then after seeing how beautiful she is, he is suddenly loyal and in love. Pff get out of here. The art is amazing, I give that.
I mean in that case, she chose him first- made them get engaged at such a young age only for her to ignore and neglect him. It’s very clear he was like a placeholder or a tool for her to use. It technically would make no sense for someone to insist on marrying you, only for them to immediately ghost you as soon as you’re together. It wasn’t just him that was the problem. She wished for it to happen and her actions helped.
but still... she didn't force him to do anything. She just blatantly ignored him and it was enough to make him sleep with half of the city's women haha. that's just pathetic. Some people defend him and put all the blame on her like she was threaten him with a gun on his head making him sleep with all those women and that's not how I see it.
that is your opinion and we respect that, we have different views and i view carcel as a loyal husband and faithful one at that he might not be a perfect fiancee to ines at least as someone who read the entire novel, i think you will understand him more when this story progresses. Honestly they are just both broken characters just trying to figure out new emotions and trying out new things, though sometimes it comes out as bad we can't do anything about that we just have to understand that is the message of the author here. Its not because of her poor writing skills, it's just we lack the cognitive to think outside the box and not just state what is credible to our eyes.
im not young why would you assume my age? im not gonna read this if i am underage, atleast have some respect stop trying to sound like you have correct opinions, like i get it you are just stating what you think is right and im just doing what you are doing as well. for your information im old enough to read and understand this im legally capable of understanding what is happening in the manhwa just as i said i read the whole novel so i might have different opinions than you, im not saying you are wrong im just saying that i have a different view about this manhwa.
im not trying to be rude to you, if you think i am, i was just stating my opinion in contrast to yours hoping you could respect mine as well.
They were engaged and he still went out fucking other women. Not caring that it humiliated Ones and that it also destroyed other women's reputations if it got out. He only started showing interest in her after he found out she was hot. Plus he is super possessive. I honestly thought this was gonna be a different type of story where Ines got away from him, not that he was gonna be the ML. I just can't like Cárcel.
