If you're wondering whether this story is worth reading, it really depends on what kind of reader you are, and there’s nothing wrong with whatever type of reader you happen to be.(⌒▽⌒)

If you like stories with clear "good vs. bad" characters, this book might not be for you. Mathias, the ML, is a bloody red flag at the start, he’s arrogant, manipulative, and downright unlikable. His actions are hard to justify, and if you’re someone who prefers clear-cut morality, you might not vibe with his morally gray redemption arc.

But if you enjoy messy, flawed, and morally ambiguous characters, this story could work for you. Mathias has a redemption arc that digs into why he’s so toxic and how his past shaped him. It’s not a simple “bad guy turns good” story but more about understanding him as a complex person. If you’re into stories that make you think about human behavior, forgiveness, and redemption, this one might feel rewarding.

Fiction is meant to provoke thought, not just dictate morality. This story challenges the black-and-white view of right and wrong by diving into flawed characters and their motivations. It’s meant to make you think about things like personal growth and the boundaries of forgiveness, not just present easy answers. If that kind of complexity appeals to you, it’s worth reading. But if you prefer stories that stick to clear morality, this one might not be your cup of tea,and that’s okay!

That said, let’s be real: in real life, if you met someone like Mathias, girl, RUN! Don’t even entertain the “I can change him” mindset. People don’t come with guaranteed redemption arcs, and in reality, you wouldn’t have time to analyze behaviors if your safety or well-being is on the line. Fiction allows us to explore these dynamics safely, but it’s not a guide for real-life relationships.

Ultimately, this story’s appeal depends on whether you’re willing to engage with a character who starts off deeply toxic and see where his journey leads. Whatever kind of reader you are, there’s no right or wrong way to approach fiction, just find stories that resonate with you. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

    You should try reading the novel instead, the manhwa is still ongoing and might just leave you frustrated waiting for updates. If you don’t like it, you can always stop reading. No one’s forcing you to, after all. :)

    Oh, I just realized the chapters on Webnovel aren’t complete. Sorry about that! Wuxiaworld’s the same, and Novel Updates has taken it down completely since it got licensed.

    Your speculation about this novel is so well define.
    Yes, it’s depends on the readers view how he or she perceive it, and what kinda story they enjoy. There is nothing wrong about loving to read toxic fiction unless that doesn’t harm ones life, and one could endure it psychologically. But if not please be aware and quit it.

    I love your description so much i just have to leave a reply. (▰˘◡˘▰)

    Leaving a reply because I’m so obsessed with the way you wrote this review. I’m also reading the novel and I couldn’t agree more with your point of view. I love this story mainly because I’m attracted to flawed and imperfect characters. And lastly, to be honest, I think I would undoubtedly read whatever you recommended, your descriptions are just that good. Do you perhaps post reviews anywhere else as well?

    Thank you! That’s so kind of you. This novel is definitely well written, and we're all looking at it through different lenses, which is what makes it so compelling. The characters' flaws and complexities really stand out, and I think that’s what keeps people hooked, even if we all have different takes on them. (=・ω・=)

    Oh, thank you, that’s really kind of you! No, I don't really post reviews, I just saw a few comments asking if it’s worth reading, so I just felt like leaving a comment. The diversity of opinions really shows how powerful well-written, morally complex characters can be. (=・ω・=)
