True love? Well, blame the manhwa because what Ines said in context was that compared to what she felt with Oscar, she experienced genuine love with the painter.
Do you actually think the author would give her a love with a ML that doesn’t transcend her love with the painter that didn’t care about what would happen to the people they put in trouble? Author knows more about life than most readers. She made the best ML there is for her FL by giving her a love that makes all the other self-centered love in this story just what they are: selfish. You haven’t even read the full story yet but here you are passing judgement on the author’s work just because Ines in her naivety and selfishness thought that her love that trampled on other people is all there is to know about love when all along there was a transcendent love waiting for her. Even Ines will come to say that she doesn’t understand ML’s love. Why? Because it’s the first time she experiences such a deep, unconditional, unselfish and faithful love.
Another thing..this story has backbone. It’s not an immature story where the author makes it seem like love conquers all even when FL strangled her own child to death then stabbed herself in the neck. Another author would have IGNORED what she did and have FL act like none of that mattered and have no guilt about it. What about the man whose child she strangled to death. Another author would have him ignore that FL strangled his child and hook back up with FL as though nothing happened. Sorry, but not this author. There are very real consequences to FL killing her own child then killing herself.
You also said the manhwa made it seem like the painter is important but how many times has he been brought up in the story? In fact, in the novel, the man himself barely appears in the story. Instead the novel is focused on Ines’s guilt and overcoming her guilt towards killing her own child and ruining a man’s life. Who do you think helps her to heal and overcome all the tragedies? Not the man whose child she killed. That much is certain.
Too lazy to read, did she visit or bump int Emiliano yet?
