Literally like I was reading those mental "thought provoking" parts and was just not getting it at all like how is this supposed to make me root for yall
The noti for this reply making me remember this comic existed and having me be like :/? all over again
In hindsight you’re right, the internal dialogue was so off topic and prose heavy that trying to parse what the hell it had to do with anything was a chore that required like 3 rereads per chapter. I liked the philosophical introspection, I think in isolation it’s a fun thought process to watch, but it made the mc look schizophrenic as hell because boy what are you thinking abt rn. This is not solving your problem this is just rambling abt something else in your head.
I can’t say with full honesty that I liked this story, but I can certainly say it was interesting. I found their chemistry to be absolutely STIFLING which was a big surprise, because I usually like introspective and honest MCs paired up with a dishonest lunatic. Something about it though… maybe the entire philosophical premise of lying to yourself about feeling secure in a relationship just to make it work is a bit depressing? Like yall met and went from ‘interested in one another’ to ‘married 10 years and only still together out of habit’ in a MONTH. Got a bit lost in the cyclical internal monologue spirals that never went anywhere satisfying, but were certainly thought provoking at times… yeah just a bit of an odd read.
