i started reading this one just bc the art was pretty, but now i see it was axed orz
anw i got as far as chapter 7 but her dad is seriously stupid lol
'oh just accept this outsider's help, what's the worst that can happen?'
*the guy tries to make her a concubine*
'oh i know how to fix this! accept this other outsider's help, what's the worst that can happen?'
like my dude come on

the ads, the editing, the scandals, the sns posts.......
i feel like this author really Gets idol culture
anw rereading the whole series you can see from when they're introduced who will be in the final lineup, right?
i do wonder if that .47 means they'll include an extra member (possibly lee sejin a?) if the shareholders reach a certain requirement or something

bad translation, missing dialogue, blurred out cleavage and legs (???) and this is still rated 9.1/10 lmao
even if you find the story interesting, please get better standards. this upload feels like i'm trying to read a comic thru screenshots on google lens

like the other comments said, what about the clothing line? his musical career? why did it stop so abruptly?
also ngl when this aspiring singer-songwriter had to be TOLD by Some Guy that music can communicate your feelings i sighed out loud. boy you've been writing music for YEARS why did you need to be TOLD that

the translation got so bad halfway through that i was legit checking to see if i had skipped chapters or if some images hadn't loaded. rating this one incomprehensible/10

sometimes a family is you, your gaggle of rescues, and your professional torturer/chef

this is gonna be very negative so skip this comment if that's gonna bother you
referencing chapter 37

"i have to stop acting like a child so i'm going alone to meet someone who's tried to hurt me at least two confirmed times before instead of letting anyone who could keep me safe know about it" god i hate this fucking logic so much it's actually giving me a migraine
i was fine with the story up until that point, it wasn't perfect or anything but it was Fine, but that's just the most stupid thing a grown adult could have done in that situation
the whole thing with the cousin getting casually brushed off is infuriating but this ticked me off more bc i can ignore the side characters but i can't ignore the main one
and seeing that there's only a few chapters left and their relationship has not progressed at all it's like? author you could and Should have used this time to develop the MAIN COUPLE instead of making one act like he got a lobotomy in between chapters

brilly brilly answered question about question
an older one but usagi drop for Sure spoilers but tbh read the spoilers, dont go into this series blind its about a 30yo guy who starts raising his grandpa's 6yo daughter after the grandpa died and it ends with them becoming a couple she even specifically says she wants to have a child with him bc he will raise the child to be happy just like he ra......

so ok i like this series and i like the main pairing, i think they have good chemistry
and in the pantheon of step-sibling pairings this might be the Least Bad one i've ever seen?
like, they didn't grow up together, since the ML went off to the academy shortly after the FL started inhabiting this body, and they never regarded each other as siblings
(him bc he didnt trust anyone, and her bc she wasn't from this universe)
he also apparently only became interested in her after the death of the family, when they were already older, and they only started really interacting with each other in their late teens/ early 20s
i also understand that for this specific set up, they would have to be step-relatives of some sort, or the whole succession plot wouldn't happen
THAT ALL BEING SAID
i still feel kinda uncomfortable with the fact the original characters were step-siblings idk
most of the time the story is Fine and it doesn't bother me much, but sometimes they bring up like 'oh yeah he's my little brother' and i'm like hm. don't like that.
it's a sweet webtoon overall and it's not enough to put me off from reading it but idk
as someone who grew up with step-siblings it annoys me how prevalent step-sibling ships are in romances

brilly brilly asked a question

i was talking to a friend abt tropes and i started wondering what other ppl thought abt this. what's ur favorite trope that isn't related to romance and relationships? mine is when a character is afraid of animals but animals love them and try to approach them anw lol

brilly brilly answered question about have an unpopular opinion
some people seem to think being mean and snarky for no reason makes them cool or interesting :/ i'm sorry they made you have such a bad experience, and i hope you feel better!
brilly brilly answered question about real life problems
tbh yeah like, you're allowed to read yaoi and enjoy it, idc what you personally do with your life. it's just Really frustrating that all discussions of mlm sexuality around here are led by people who aren't mlm and often by people who won't even consider mlm voices if it doesn't agree with what they already believe i read shoujo and yuri manga som......
