I can't do this anymore. I've been reading the rest of the chapters with the thought of E in the back of mind, thinking of ironic the FL for not wanting the White haired ML because he feels like an "insurance" thing yet at the same time, she sees E as an insurance. She tells herself that E would be her end game in her survival but doesn't cherish him. She's putting all her money on E, it's no less than him getting out of that auctioned like where she first met him.
The FL is treating E as an object of protection, not as a person. I won't even find it baffling if E somehow turned over her (romantically).
hmm I understand why’d you think that way but I’m afraid you’re overlooking the most crucial thing here; how fl feels .. just imagine if you were put into that same exact situation
Imagine waking up one day to find yourself inside a game, where a single wrong choice can literally kill her. It’s a literal survival game and that situation isn’t one where love blooms freely. Every relationship is a potential trap, and every moment of vulnerability is a gamble with her life. When you’re constantly one step from death, you start to prioritize safety over sincerity and that's exactly what she's doing.
Now about E, yes, she’s leaning on him like an “endgame option,” and yes, it does feel ironic or even hypocritical but keep in mind her situation, she isn’t using him to climb a ladder nor to feel superior. She clings to him because he’s the only one who hasn't yet shown signs of betrayal, the only one who hasn’t shown signs of the death ending.
She wants to believe in him but she’s too terrified to let her guard down and see him as a real person. It’s not that she doesn’t care, it’s that caring in her world is dangerous. It’s not out of cruelty, but more as a defense mechanism. Hope is dangerous and trust can get you killed. That’s why she reduces E to a symbol of escape because that's the only way she can emotionally survive.
True but you got to understand mc point too, what if the one person who you believe you could trust in a world that wants to kill you brought back your main death card?? Not only didn't you ask for that nor were you even prepared for that but the person who brought them back was the one who you were hoping to set you free. I'd be pissed, no fucking furious at him to the point I wouldn't want to look at him.
Yeah, I know. I'd do the same anyway, maybe it's the guilt that made me think about it.
That's totally true. I've already read the recent chapters, and it's just disappointing to see what E has come to be. To think that he's already been used as entertainment, even if it endangers his life, that he's been put through struggles to meet his master's desires, only to be discarded and exploited as a mere puppet for something. The dude doesn't even have a purpose in life other than to be used and useful — all of it just pities me. But don't get me wrong, I don't want E to be our FL's endgame just because of that, right from the start, he already oozed untrustworthy behavior for me.
True, I can't help but pity him, his life is actually pretty fucking sad tbh, but play stupid games with stupid prizes...
why are unrealistic things inserted in it? it was all good until those happened
What are the unrealistic things?
A human killing a boar.- in a few seconds
girl.. it was pretty unrealistic since the beginning
Agreed
I don't know if you'll believe this, but a boar actually kill people, especially the wild once
Yeah boars kill humans but humans don't in a split second
Yeah, but a boar isnt that huge in the nature ╥﹏╥
But I hope it doesn't take the route where the FL finds out what the ML is doing and decides to forgive him because she sympathizes him because of his past, sum shi like that.
For teenagers, this manga shows good relationship with one another. It's nice that the couple are really taking their time in the relationship instead of hurrying things up just like most of teenage relationships. I like the chapter where the other side couple( I don't remember their name) was close to doing something more intimate but told each other what they really feel and respected it. How nice...
This is like a fresh air for me after reading those ykw genres
The fact that I forgot that the story started as a flashback due to the first panel with the ML(?) being old and FL not present tells me that I am going to experience another heartbreak.
It might be this dude too. We still don't know much
exactly.. we've never known, and this far into the story, I suspect it's this quirky funny suitor who loved and lost and thinks of it in his old age.
I FORGOT ABOUT THAT UNTIL I READ UR COMMENT… Oh my god
If im being honest, I’ve always known from the start that both the FL and ML are not going to end up together at the end of the story. Most likely they may either die together or the FL will end up dying before the ML does. ☹
In a fairy tale world I had hoped that they would discover a med for her ailment. But I don't think this is that kind of story. My real hope is the FL and ML are seen going off down the road together to live what's left of either of their lives together and the man reminiscing in the beginning of the story is the funny guy with pony tail who has fallen in love with her.
Didn't care if he had his dick to be sucked by a same gender and didn't care much when he found out it's actually not a guy. I guess if I hadnt got mine up for so long, I'd be desperate but not that suspiciously desperate type shi. To top it all of, no aftercare? That's mad crazy.
These straight smuts usually have no after care tbh these men ain't never beating the gay allegations
I didn't really feel the connection between Hanna and Saho, their start in the story seemed as one-sided then suddenly Saho had feelings for her (highly possible) because of the past. Idk, it feels like the author just put their connection for the plot. Tbh, Peace and their lover has a better story in it. I'm glad the ending was well, but author didn't give my girl, Mika, some love instead gave her the "second lead syndrome".
Overall, kinda bummed about this. I expected more from this.
The story was there and then it was swept under the rug for the mc to make stupid choices while micro-cheating. Girl, don't even get me started on how Hyomin was chill bc the mc had him reach that stage of "enlightenment".
The romance with Taesook felt like a force plot for me, why was he made as a love interest when he could've been a character that proves not to break social prejudice based on his character appearance.
On the other hand, I love Y being a complex character. For some reason, his attitude made it as it why he and the mc clicked — cause they aren't in their right mind.
The pace was just not it. God, this could've been good if it weren't for the unnecessary romance reverse harem trope.
