I didn’t remember why I added it to my list but it came back to me the second chapter - IT WAS BECAUSE SOMEONE MENTIONED HOW BAD THE SECOND HAND EMBARRASSMENT IS WITH THIS ONE ┗( T﹏T )┛And how nothing phases them after getting through it. The way I gasped and turned off my phone on the ch.2

I really dislike the “overhearing one sentence” type of misunderstandings. Like, he could have said he’s not in a relationship because he was talking to his parents and it’s too early to explain and make it so serious. Or just because he was talking to someone he wasn’t close to and wanted to brush them off cause he didn’t want them interfering in his private life. Especially since he was talking in your living room, it’s not like he was hiding in the corners, making him look suspicious - why jump to conclusions based on a brief conversation you overheard? Ik it’s just a plot device but man, this is sooo overused

I’ve read the novel since people were saying how satisfying the groveling and chasing arc is and how it was so much better portrayed in the novel. And yeah, the last few chapters didn’t really translate the deep emotions that were tormenting both MCs quite well. But just so you know, this is FARRRRR from nearing the end, communication and resolution. I’m saying this as someone who eats that plot up every single time - this is NOT simy a chasing arc. It’s gonna be a dragged out miscommunication. Just to put it into a perspectice - this is around 118 chapter from the novel. I’m currently at chapter 165 and they STILL HAVEN’T FUCKING TALKED. I’m thissssss

In the beginning I was hoping that Rosalind let her body be overtaken by a shadow to keep herself alive or sth… I quickly realized that’s not the case and since then I was conflicted whether to keep reading it cause “shadow” seemed like a weird main character. I kept going because everyone in the comments seemed to love it and no one complained about MC so I assumed she gets accustomed to her body and more human as the story progresses …but nope.

I don’t dislike her character but I just really dislike her as a MC. She acts like a child or a dimwit, seems to barely express any thoughts, motivations, emotions. Her only personality traits so far are “omg food!!”, “doing something funny/cute that’s not socially acceptable” and “protecc!”. She really DOES act and kinda like a 3-5 years old when interacting with other characters. Which is cute, I love her antics, laugh out loud from time to time, I really enjoy her interactions with her brother and that knight friend… BUT I just can’t see her as a romantic interest, that’s the bottom line. AND I don’t find her relatable or enjoyable as a main character whose story I’m supposed to follow and cheer for. Simply because she feels cartoonish and unserious compared to other characters. There are some stories in which an outwardly being has to fend for themselves in the human world that pull this concept off in a bearable and interesting way. But I just can’t stress it enough, she’s neither emotionally nor mentally intelligent enough for me to see her as a serious character.

Which is a pity, I was really hoping for a reverse gender roles story with a damsel in distress ML and powerful knight FL.

I started reading it to have some dumb but not too absorbing distraction when studying for my exams but I’m literally choking on laughter every chapter help

Yeowoon doesn’t know it’s you ╥﹏╥ Wouldn’t him agreeing to meet offline with some random dude on the internet that’s been flirting with him and advertising himself as handsome hurt your feelings? (also, props to Yeowoon for prioritizing Jigu in this situation)

I was SAVORING each scene of this chapterლ(´ڡ`ლ)

I mean, I guess it might be kinda historically accurate. Nobility DID tend to drink alcohol instead of water, cause there was a smaller chances of infections…. So they might have been perpetually dehydrated ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

But a slow burn is when they take their time getting to know each other, falling for each other, you can see their relationship change and progress over time, how their attitudes change, how they become important to each other, all through some experiences that create a background and trigger this development.

But this story is just badly written, boring and dragged out. It’s not slow BURN. Their emotions and relationship are the same throughout the entire story, completely stale. Well, maybe not “entire”, the first 30 chapters were fun and promising. But after a certain point, all of their interactions are repetitive, they haven’t made ANY real progress in their relationship. It’s just the same scenarios over and over again. The only real trigger for some development being SLEEPWALKING of all things. And there isn’t even any plot to distract yourself with, the only plot being romance that’s just not romancing.

…as a way to procrastinate studying for my finals. But the starbucks plot so boring that it actually motivated me to open the books instead.ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
