Oh. For a moment I thought it might have been an adaptation of the BL esport novel "I Can Do It"...

A family member has red-green colour blindness and this prompted me to go and look up those glasses. Disappointingly, it turns out they don't actually correct the perception of colour, they just filter out some of the wavelengths that confuse the impaired receptors and help the wearer see a bigger contrast between red and green. They also aren't suitable for nighttime or driving, and can be expensive. Could still be pretty useful if the inability to distinguish between the two is having an impact on daily life, but not a magical solution.

I'm so glad commenters dislike this ML's actions as much as I do, rather than excusing it just because he fell in love/is the ML.

I got to ch 10 and just couldn't stand him, so I jumped to 20, nope, no better. Jumped to ch 30, nope, no better. Jumped to 40, MC is planning to leave - yes! Go! Be free! Be happy! Please don't let them trap you with this jerk!

I should've read the English translation of the title before I jumped into this...

OK, no. I'm out.

I can't handle stories with two likable love rivals who both seem like good matches. So excruciating to read.

╥﹏╥

Well, obviously proposing to Emel is messy and unsatisfying (and a bit too convenient a contrivance for the romance plot), but it seems revenge isn't actually her primary motivation here, it's protecting herself from the royals. From that perspective, Emel's not a terrible choice. We don't even know how the proposal will pan out yet.

Thanks, Senpai, you've done your job as a stalking horse, now pack yourself off somewhere where we can forget about you now the main couple have got together.

(This wasn't a bad read, but it felt like a very childhood-friends-yaoi-by-numbers plot. You get exactly what you expect with this one.)

So, it turns out I'm still not used to being December already. I glaced at some of the recent comments and saw "December" and thought "Wow, these comments are OLD!"

...

Well, I'm sure there's more to this whole thing. He's clearly under pressure from his Dad to do certain things and behave in certain ways, not sure how much his thing with the MC is outside of those plans. It doesn't seem logical that he would let the MC see that he had that photo (that must have been deliberate), but then do something that would alienate the MC. If he wanted to do something to his friend, he would've done it anonymously, and if he wanted to show his power to the MC, he wouldn't pretend to be gentle.

So, either it's just illogical/out-of-character, or it's someone else's doing.

I'm sure we're supposed to become sympathetic towards the ML in the end (unless there's a big twist and he's not the true ML), but I do dislike how with stories like this we're supposed to ignore and forget that he still purposely blackmailed the MC's friend and manipulated the MC into dating him.

Anyway, on with the drama!

I can't help wondering if there's a bit more to her reason not to tell her bf, at least. Maybe there isn't, other than recognising the reality that he won't be easily able to carry out his studies and establish his career if he knows about the baby, as well as how society will view them both. Maybe that's enough of a reason for her. But I always wonder if there's a little more to it, considering that it's fairly extreme to lie to everyone when they'll eventually find out she has a baby.
