Yeah no worried, you can take your time reading the manhwa, let it marinate and see if it'll be a good adaptation. The manipulation is not that deep, is not "manipulation" perse... and DH did fall in love wayyyy to hard, but he didn't tell some things to WY that matter to him the most.
I'll recommend you to let it cook and take the time to enjoy the ride, as this one will be longer and messier than Omega Complex. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
^^ adding onto what this person said above me. There’s a reason why it’s called a review and not actually a neutral spoiler only saying facts. Those reviews were HEAVILY opinionated with bias against the ML. For a very long time before their relationship, ML was a nice guy. People who were reading the novel left nice comments about the two main characters in every chapter. Whatever “manipulation” usually stemmed from past events aka from 4 years ago in the story.
I love Wooyeon sm, like he's just fucking amazing to me. Spill the true to that bastard pls. The thing is that we're missing a punch, in the novel He punches the senior for being an ass, then everyone mostly respects him after that.
