YES
THIS. THANK YOU.
agreed
u took the words right out of my mouth omg
Exactlyyyy and adding onto this - I also feel like the second volume also had a huge tonal shift to it as well.. I think part of the reason the first volume worked so well is the characters sense of humor but in the second volume the ml was so serious the whole time that the bickering scenes that worked so well on the first volume just came across as actual fighting in the second, and wasn't endearing at all. First volume the fights are mostly stupid and childish which is why they were funny but second volume was stuff like disagreements on their views on marriage... I think the author forgot this was supposed to be a romcom or something (￣∇￣")
This is exactly my experience with the manga. The first pass in 2022 or something was positive. My second when the first volume ended it was a 4.5/5. But after they started dating I realized I don’t like the ml. He’s a mean person who prioritizes himself and thinks ppl who think differently are stupid. It became clear that mc loved him more than he loved mc. I also don’t think he handled his brother properly. He might “love” for the mc but he doesn’t respect him, I.e. he is fond of the mc but doesn’t see him as an equal.
haaa....
i wonder if there's anyone else disappointed by this series? i mean, obviously, there are, but i guess i'd like to hear your reasonings and know that i wasn't the only one. people easily thumbs-down any post saying they don't fw a well-rated series so i wouldn't be surprised if this comment does as well lol
when i first read this in 2021, i really enjoyed it. however, now, reading it again and with the updates, after a year since my last read, i'm just severely disappointed. maybe it's partly cause my previous impression of it was so good that i had high expectations during my 4th reread.
firstly, it was sucked so bad how a lot of their fights was resolved through sex only. it didn't feel like a compromise but instead like the ml was just dismissing the mc's feelings and it sucks. honestly, a lot of my distaste for this manga is on the ml.
like i said, he felt so dismissive of the mc's thoughts that i didn't think he deserved being with the mc. to me, it felt like a relationship where the mc clearly loves the ml more than the ml loves the mc and not even the newer chapters made me change my mind. if anything, i just found it bizarre and annoying since my opinion of their relationship stopped me from viewing the ending to be as romantic as the author intended it to be.
we get 2 jealousy arcs but in both times, he really... didn't do anything, honestly. in the first one, it was still the mc who ended up confessing. the second time, imo he didn't even really give a fuck and was just upset over his brother and not the idea of the mc hooking up with someone else.
argh, i just did not think the ml was someone who i could cheer on. asshole characters are okay when their intentionally made that way but it seems as though the author's intent was to make him more charismatic and likeable and contrary to popular opinions, i just found him undeserving of the ending. don't even get me started on whatever bs family trauma that scene in the office was...
this comment makes it sound like i HATE this manga but i really dont. it was... okay. mid.ike a solid 2 stars and a half.
anyways that was my opinion of it :P if anyone wants to try to change my mind id like to hear it cause im kinda confused as to why i praised this so much in my initial review
