I don’t care what others think, they deserve this moment of comfort that only they can give to each other. This love will never be perfect and ideal, that’s why I adore this story even more cause it’s not the typical love story problems or rather relationship problems one can solve. When you’re sick of happy endings and actually read a story that brings you pain, anger, pity, and a range of emotions. That’s how you know it’s good (personally). When you read the novel it’s even more heart wrenching. Similar to stories like “what it means to be you” and “Into the rose garden”. I finshed reading all of them and I’m still waiting on the drawn chapters cause its THAT amazing. When I encounter monotone or average stories I go back to these cause nothing brings out the raw emotions better. Cheers to the author for being able to rile up the readers to even cause a debate on the characters HAHAHAHAH
I’m just here laughing at the people who really thought fluffy chapters would follow just because jaekyung is back ╮(￣▽￣)╭ amatures
This ain’t for the good and kind-hearted new readers. HOWEVER if you’re an avid reader of manga, manhwa, and light novels (and I mean REALLY deep readers with genres like this) this is a honestly a good read. Look, as a reader I’ve encountered both wholesome and toxic reads. It’s inevitable to encounter reads that are against your morals and even those that make you question the author’s creativity (or insanity). It’s somehow a culture to most fictional romantic stories to include toxicity, have you ever wondered why stories like these get so popular? yeah news flash it ain’t a surprise that people are messed up. Plus this concept isn’t exactly new, there are hundreds or possibly thousands out there (even back at wattpad). It’s just something that isn’t erasable and will continue to exist.

However this one stands out to me because of how the author actually wrote the character development, particularly Matthias. At first, he didn’t even seem human to me to ever do such things to a woman. But at the end I found it amazing how a character that started out so evil could change that much (yeah I actually judge after reading the entire story). I applauded how the author was able to evoke such emotions and giving us a perspective why & how Matthias as a character thinks, from his upbringing and then the changes after his love interest.
That doesn’t mean accepting what he did was okay nor even saying you should like Matthias *sigh (it pmo how some ppl read only to find a bias or a character for them to attach with) it was to be able to see and understand a written character of err and its development throughout the story. That’s just simply it, nothing about that means apologizing or forgeting his wrongful acts.
It’s you’re right to have an opinion to a character, that’s normal. But one thing I learned after reading is to finish the whole story and why it was written so before judging. You’re ultimately responsible for what you’re reading. Nobody is forcing you to accept the happenings in it just because others do. Plus it’s soo childlish to come against people who liked reading this saying they are grape apologists and all that. Having a different opinion doesn’t mean you should attack them for not agreeing with what you don’t like about a story, are you a kid? You can simply say you don’t like it or won’t recommend it for certain reasons. Unless you’re a child, an adult can handle this babe, don’t go around assuming they can’t form their opinions and how to take a story. Don’t rob them of the opportunity to do so as well because this is actually written for adults.
Read with discretion ya’ll and enjoy reading!
Exactly. Unfortunately, I feel that people don't have the emotional maturity to read a story like this and not be so affected. The purpose of a story is to make people feel emotions, various emotions, and then at the end express what you felt, didn't you like it? did you find it too slow? too mature? too empty? didn't you like the development of the characters? super valid! But there are those who liked the story for the drama, and that doesn't say anything about anyone's character, I see a difficulty in people separating this, which is being reflected even in the author and even in the char designer Vanji.... UNFORTUNATELY.
Happy? GURL you got yourself in this situation, you wanted to climb up the dirty way and now you wanna switch up because you fell inlove. Not only are you pathetic but you’re desperate.
When Karina was a child and she drew her parents as a loving version to her. When they hugged her and smiled to her like BRO IT BROKE ME SO BADD like OH MY SHAYLAA MY SHAYLA ┗( T﹏T )┛ knowing it was all little karina ever wanted but she only had the fake version from her miracles, she did it so many times so imagine the amount her parents WRONGED her, PLUS THOSE MIRACLES CHIPPED AWAY HER LIFE SLOWLY. Nah the leopold family should be scorned forever, even the sister, I don’t care if she innocent and naive, she should live in shame for the rest of her life
Wish I could insert that song from tiktok “A man” cause he really is the kind of man all genders would love to have in their lives (▰˘◡˘▰)
Some people are simply not emotionally mature to handle stories like these and blame its inevitable existence. There are so many toxic stories out there, even back in wattpad yet they don’t learn their lesson. Somehow, it still comes a shock to others that real life is messed up, what more in fictional stories where its all made up by different people. Sometimes I’m wondering if they even understand what being a responsible reader is when they read tags like “18+” “adult” “mature” or the intro itself because its actually written assuming the reader is a mature adult who can discern fiction from reality and their morals should not be changed nor accept the happenings in it. I mean if you see others romanticise it, then thats their fault for reading something they aren’t ready to take. Kinda like p*rn, you’ve gotta be kidding me if you think the actors or the video creators can control who sees their videos, don’t be dumb its a REALITY. Same with these stories here, sure you can express your opinion of disagreeing or educate them of your morals but atleast don’t come for ALL the people reading it assuming we all glorify the happenings or romanticise it smh read with discretion
Huh wait wait what happened
Please tell me the tea
Oh its just the haters of this story who come for the readers who like this one, saying we glorify its happenings or saying we messed up cause we’re romanticising the happenings in it. Esp the ones who say we’re grape apologists smh hurts my head with how stupid they are
I can see where they're coming from tho yo. The beginning chapters had rape that was NOT necessary to the story but i choose to just read the "safe" fluffy bits cuz its rlly cute. i stilk wouldn't defend the manhwa this aggressively. Theres no excuse for rape, that doesn't even seem to recognize it. But then again thats just my opinion
Oh yeah…it’s totally understandable. But then they go and support Codename Anastasia?! This doesn’t in anyway excuse the ML from his actions and yeah it was avoidable.
It’s funny how a lot of ppl who hate on ppl reading fiction (questionable or not) are the same ones telling people to separate virtual from reality at the end of the day they cant do it themselves and think they have higher moral ground lol
For me the rape isn’t the major thing I’m annoyed about in this story. I just strongly hate the ml bc more than a rapist he’s too obsessive of the mc and I’m not feeling it.
The only thing I care about is the mc’s friend and the kids.
It’s actually explained how both of them are connected and are bound as soulmates. The reason why the ml is obsessive of the uke is because he lost him in their first life and in the second he almost k*lled himself because the uke wasn’t with him. As he said that the only purpose of him being alive is to be with hosik. Although, that doesn’t explain how u should like the ml or even accept his wrongdoings, it only just makes u understand his character. Reading it as a whole makes sense for me, I respect those who don’t like that direction but it just saddens me how some readers didn’t get that.
I’m not trying to aggressively defend this story in particular I’m trying to aggressively respond to certain readers that come for other readers who liked this story as a whole, especially those who immediately assume we romanticise and glorify the entire happenings in it, worse, those who say we’re grape apologists. Its honestly insulting to generalize everyone who r genuinely mature enough reading it. In the first place there are alrdy warnings in place, tags, and intros that reveal whats coming. If ur sensitive and can’t handle stuff like that bec its hard to accept then please don’t read it. Like my previous example w/ p*rn, when u find out they watch it do u immediately deem them immoral and accuse them of being sinners. It equalized as that. Some of us know how to actually read adult stories like finishing it entirely and saying “oh I didn’t like that bit but it was a good read” simple. I’d respect opinions of disagreeing but “attacking” the readers and assuming their thoughts is triggering.
Exactly, its giving prime hypocrisy. This is a fictional story and they take it too seriously when it simply could’ve been a read to put down and won’t recommend if they didn’t like certain parts. They made it into such a huge issue and especially coming and attacking others for reading it and accusing them of being disgusting and all. Its giving me a headache
