Dropped, may try later

Dropped at chapter 33 because I don’t think it’s for me. I don’t really like the ML, I don’t like these kind of dynamics of ML pretending to be innocent cutie pie in front of Eloise, just to be actually murderous, cunning etc irl. It just feels like he’s lying to her constantly, but because he wants her to like him or something, he doesn’t show as he truly is.

And I find it quite frustrating cause then - she doesn’t like your real you, and I just can’t bear a facade like that. The guy is really competent, strong, and he’s playing naive and loss of memories, and tries to keep it going. He’s also jealous and possessive of Eloise while bro she doesn’t belong to you??

And I guess the fact Eloise is so naive to fall into it makes it even more frustrating like, she’s supposed to be a badass intelligent character and she just can’t see further than that.

Otherwise, maybe it’s just me but the pacing is too slow to me. It may be because I got frustrated about Caein (the male lead) that still hadn’t revealed that he doesn’t have amnesia and it’s not how he really is and we’re almost reaching a third of the story, but I can’t find it appealing. I keep reading parts without reading them, with my brain not registering or wanting to just scroll through pages and skip chapters.

I think overall Caein is not too much my type of ML as he’s young, juvenile and looks frankly frail - thing that is accentuated by his act around Eloise. Such a shame! Cause I like the drawings, the premise seemed nice enough and Eloise’s character seemed nice as well. Maybe I’ll come back to try to finish it but as of for now, I can’t seem to keep going.

It’s only my thoughts tho, so make sure to have a peek by yourself to see if you like it or not!
