I really like this, but I don’t think it really makes sense that both male leads fell in love with the FL. The main male lead falling in love with a “side character” is fun, but when the second ML fell in love with her it’s just the original story w a diff girl…
It also poses the idea that anybody could be the FL and both male leads would love her anyway.
I’d agree with your point if this was another story but I think it works here because the second ML originally started liking the OG FL because she inspired him to swim again, the FL is the one who inspired him to swim again here, so it makes sense that he would like her instead, since that was the inciting source of the crush + FL is also likable herself. It’s not that anyone can be the FL and the ML’s would love her anyway, it’s that our FL is in fact lovable in her own right, and they see that and so love her. It’s not like in other stories where they fall in love for seemingly no reason and you’re left rolling your eyes. Circumstances just turned out this way where they had a crush on her instead, life isn’t a novel where your loved is destined and there’s no way you could possibly love anyone else. Honestly the FL is kinda delusional for thinking it is like that
Your reply def gave me a new perspective! I rlly like this story and the fact that it isn’t too cliche or corny. Plus, it’s only the beginning; hopefully it’s a long story.
Glad to hear it lol. I get it, I’m a certified hater myself (having to wade through the 90% of these stories which are the same dumbass pushover FL’s and asshole controlling ML’s really ain’t fun), so when things don’t spark the inner hater they really stand out :D
I also don’t like stories where the mc ends up basically becoming the original FL and all the original MLs fall for her. Like, what was the point when it just becomes the same plot as the original but with a different flavor of girl? I still really like this story though and I feel like the depth of their love for Mc is definitely different. Like, ML really truly loves her while second male lead is just starting to be interested in her. I hope it stays like that and second male lead realizes he doesn’t love her and just had a small crush because of her words of encouragement.
I agree with your point of view on how love isn't destined, also I think Jiseo isn't that oblivious it's just that she feels scared and afraid of change. Well in her perspective she went into the “romance novel” without inkling and warning on how it happened, so wouldn't she also be afraid of not knowing when she will go back to “reality” where yiwon and the other characters don't exist? I just hope it's not gonna happen like Inso's Law :/
Bro inso’s law ruined me cause why did you spend so much time developing the relationship between the mc and the black/blue haired guy when he’s not even the fucking ml??? He was even on the cover of the series for so long?? Like wtf???
I felt so fucking betrayed that when I saw this I saw it as my coping mechanism after inso’s law cause the main leads remind me of my original ship in inso’s law lol.
(Now, if they ALSO pull a twist on em like that I think I won’t trust manhwa covers ever again.)
Trueeeee broooooo I only watch the friendship part, the romance......meh
I think I’ll have to wait a long time before I pick it up again because of that betrayal lol
Lol, it's really a canon event for high school
Oop, replied at the wrong section, sorry
I enjoy this, it’s def something you can turn off your brain! It’s a little slow burn and isn’t too fast paced for me. It’s a light read for me <3
I know ml was pretty bad in the beginning, but this is honestly cute and interesting once you get passed the beginning!
not him raising his lover omg (pedo) and then in the following story they are basically raised as brothers, and then finally beastiality was the cherry on top wth is this
ikr the second vol. gave me whiplash
I got to ch 9 and I feel like he’s just plain creepy. The knight who caught her actually considered a human being and thought about how she felt. I think he would be the best match for her. She doesn’t need another obsessive person in her life. I’d enjoy if they both just moved to the countryside and had a slow burn.
It actually starts getting a lot better, just binged read it this morning and I'm hooked!
Just continue, it gets better
It’s so painfully predictable and the mc is an obvious mary sue…the art is questionable at times and I don’t see the appeal of the male lead. dropped.
I was honestly expecting something more from chaeri’s past maybe it’s just cause those situations are common in the us? Or there is more to it (there has to be)
there's probably way more but to be fair Korea is a lot more conservative than the US
The translations are a little difficult to understand. Is there any news of an official translation?
This is already on webtoon being officially translated and it’s at the same chapter as well so idk who tf is uplaoding bad quality chapters here for no reason.
can u give me the titel i cant find it with this one ?
It’s by the name Degree of Love!
thank u sugarplum
I love how stories like these get so much hate, but when it's a bl story with r@pe, creepy depictions of mlm, and the most toxic relationships it's praised and well-liked. Exp: Jinx, Full Volume, Painter of the Night, etc.
Those stories got plenty of hate and still do to this day lmao. I see comments and posts shitting on them at least once a day
I think he accidentally asked her to be his side piece he fumbled so hard
"a mistress"/ and "mistress of the house" are two different things.
