im ABSOLUTELY DONE with the fucking snake, and that "10 y/o" excuse is SOOOOOO OVERDONE. and its not just her forgiving him EVERY SINGLE TIME he tried to kill the ml, its also her basically shaming the ml into forgiving him, or even in some cases having to APOLOGIZE TO THE SNAKE??? and the heat thing is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GROSSSS IM ACTUALLY SO WEIRDED OUT ITS NOT OKAY. its like he exists to be lusting after a 12 year old, its so fucking gross.
the elders are more stupid than 15 y/o girls*, absolutely lacking in common sense, and the father is actually getting so annoying as well, like, im sorry i feel this is off topic, but i think the father is actually the worst. i cannot stand how he treats the ml, i so badly wish the snake would get a fucking personality and that the father would take off his tunnel vision, when he only named his daughter "hwa" because his boyfriend told him to (your adopted son is more directly related to your boyfriend! dont forget! why do we ONLY care about what happens to the fl, when the ml actually went through WAY WORSE DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. THE ML WENT THROUGH MUCH WORSE THAN JUST BEING ASLEEP FOR A WHILE, HE WAS ALSO GOING TO FUCKING DIE IF YOUR DAUGHTER DIDNT WAKE UP, LIKE, IF SHE TOOK A DAY LONGER TO WAKE UP YOUR DEAD BOYFRIEND'S SON WAS GOING TO BE LITERALLY WIPED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH, REPLACED BY HIS FATHER'S KILLER, AND YOU DONT CARE, LIKE, AT ALL)
Personally, in comparison to other stories, I'll give this a 9.0, and I would say I'm generous considering I'm about to drop it, I'm just staying to see the ending.
The beginning of the story was interesting, but it started going downhill from when snake boy was introduced. Snake boy is like the equivalent of those jealous bitchy side girls you see in mangas - possessive, narcissistic, childish and complete deadweight. "Why do you not like me like how you like them? If I get rid of them I'll have you all to myself!" It's not even a one time thing, it's literally his ENTIRE personality. AND every single choice he has made only served to inconvenience mc or put her in danger. Most infuriating part is how mc forgives him every time he tries to kill ml. I'm really sick of hearing the "he is snake, basically 10 y/o, dk human rules" excuse anymore.
Also why are all the adults and elders in the story dumber than a 20 y/o girl? If you alr know the war is instigated by a malicious third party why would you continue to do what they want? And as the story goes on, you would observe that literally no one other than mc helps to solve problems. Mc has to literally do everything herself. Solve this asura problem, solve that misunderstanding, get rid of this enemy, identify that enemy, and when she gets into danger boom father/ml appears to save the day. This is mostly criticism of the author themselves, coz they probably wanted mc to sound smart, but the "logic" given by mc is literally so common sense that it just makes everyone else seem dumb. Either that or it's plot armour, like how the original novel coincidentally wrote about the centipedes. The story is also extremely predictable, I saw the "mc dad didn't kill ml dad" plot twist from miles away. This is like Wattpad level of plot writing, aka even 14 y/os can write this shit.
Disclaimer, I'm NOT saying this isn't a good story, it has its merits but DEFINITELY not a 9.5. It's ridiculous how high this is rated but other, more well written stories get a 9.1.
