I'm not a big fan of stories where the original lead becomes the villain and tries to monopolize everyone. I think it's a lot more interesting when the "villaines" finds a way to get along with the original lead and helps her go beyond her role as a girl everyone loves. Like the guys are a-holes, it would be better if the girls became friends and worked together towards their own happy endings.
Oh yeah I understand that regarding this particular webtoon. But I was talking about webtoons in general that do this.
There a lot of webtoon plots where the mc reincarnates as the villainess and changes the story and the original lead becomes the bad guy and I just think it's a little unnecessary and boring.
But hey, that's just my opinion.
I think the intention behind this story is good but, in my opinion, the author didn't go about it in the best way. For starters the author makes it seems like, in the beginning, that only people with a certain "taste" would be into fat girls and that no one could just like them for who they are.
The way their relationship starts is a bit strange. He says he only likes chubby girls because one fell on top of him once and it felt good...? That's totally fetishism; it's the same as the people who like manga and anime say they only like japanese or asian people. Even though, through out the story, we are shown that he likes her beyond her chubbiness, chubbiness seems to always be the main attraction point. There is also a moment when she feels insecure about his feelings for her, wondering if they would be together if she wasn't fat and instead of saying "yes, because I love you no matter what you look like" or something he just asks her if she's going to lose weight in the future, she says no, problem solved; implying that if she actually did think of losing weight maybe they couldn't be together then. Even when showing that he likes her personality it always revolves around her being fat, one way or another.
On the other hand, Hiyami didn't have any of that. He may be a bit rough and straight forward, but he was never really mean to her. He cared for her and even after realising his feelings for her he only cared about her happiness. His reasons for liking her had nothing to do with her physical appearance. He simply fell for her.
When Tagami asks her if Hiyama's feelings would give her more confidence than his own I think it only makes sense that they would. From the beginning Tagami mostly focused on her body, while Hiyami never cared about her body and only saw her for who she is.
So I think the author chose the wrong character to be the main lead. I think Hiyami's feelings have bigger body positivity message than Tagami's. Hiyami shows you that love goes beyond appearance.
Uuuuugh... I read this when I was kid and I had really liked it, but rereading it now... it's not a very good story... both guys treat her badly because of some girl... ouji was just using her to make himself feel better and hiro was just giving mixed signasl and then blowimg her off because of his "friends girlfriend" who was also supposedly his girlfriend that he was taking care of until they got back together... wtf
The girl should've just gone back to the countryside or dumped them both tbh. She didn't even end up with either of them. It was just an ambiguous ending.
The story so far is alright. There were some things that annoyed me a bit, but it is what it is...
I bet the childhood friend is going to become the second male lead and it makes no sense. Through out the whole story they didn't give any hints and the characters have no chemestry whatsoever... now all of a sudden his going to get feelings for her just to add some rivalry or drama or whatever ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
