If Jian Suiying had been just a little less violent and not so light on his fists I could come to like him wholeheartedly, but it doesn't sit right with me that he's been violent from the very beginning. The brother and the ex both suck and I can't stand them either tbh. One thing I got to acknowledge though is that it's true that despite hating his step mom and step bro, he never went past hurtful words and humiliating them. He could've as well kicked them out of the house ages ago.
For those interested, romance is not the focus of the novel, and mc and ml only kiss at around the middle or a little sooner (we are not even on chapter 100 of the novel and there are 293 where I read the raws from). The misunderstanding takes a LONG time to be resolved and it's all because of ml telling mc to back off and then resenting mc for actually avoiding him because he forgot he even said that.. I'm on chapter 197 rn and so far ml is trying to conquer mc lol. Mc doesn't reject ml when he confesses his feelings but I think he's confused because he hasn't been asked out and ml wants to get chummy. We don't really get many moments of them together though, the story is centered around mc overcoming situations that endanger him, meeting special people in the process, and those ppl wanting to protect him back. I hope there's more romantic interactions as I keep reading but I still got to get through the sorbett conflict... it's sad this is a pg novel because the kiss scenes are so hecking cute and well written :')
Btw I loved when the prime minister was scared shitless because he was supporting Edward for the king position and noticed he fucked up for the way he helped while using the expression "죽고 못 살 형제/사이(?)", like he said they couldn't live without each other/have a deep connection and that harming mc for pushing for the trial could be costing him his life
do you have the link for the novel??
I read it in Korean on the bunny site, you could still mtl it but I don't recommend because I tried mtl when I got tired of looking up words I didn't know and the translation was chopped. The Korean title is 0과 1 in case you want to look it up on bookt0k1
thank you!!
