I gathered as such from the synopsis, but really, this has no plot other than our mc making a harem, huh? that's really the only aspect of this book. everything else is quite pointless, and plot seems to be nonexistent....
It’s still pretty good though
SHE'S LIKE... FOURTEEN... 14!!!! Years!!!! of!!! Age!!!! MENTALLY. HONEYYYYYYYY no.
14 yrs of age in Ancient China is an adult preparing for marriage. Like they literally just get married at the age of 15. 20+ is old maiden
Not supporting child marriage but that was just the culture.
Not just Ancient China, if I remember once I was told that the Virgin Mary was 14 when she was pregnant with Jesus and married to Joseph.
That's if you believe in that religion, not trying to dis on Christianity but for some reason when reading your comment made me think of that, the whole 14 thing. xD
oh ya, true. but technically she's in a modern setting so... (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Lol you can't break old school mentality
I'm rooting for henry with sam.
Henry with seth feels too... normal... lolololol, though that poor boy does deserve better. Hope his pure little heart finds someone, if he doesn't get Henry at the end.
Also, doesn't this give you Lover Boy vibes? Just that Sam ain't a cheating (?), horrible bastard? And like, Henry is Jinha and Seth is the blond mc? No? Just me?
just so awkward to leave. I find the mc creepy af, and the dialogue/emotions/plot just seems to jump all over the place? and what's the the sudden personality change of the dark haired guy? i thought he was portrayed as cold in the beginning?
The author keeps doing random shit that's completely unnecessary, like the one where the father hit Rudy because he believed Rudy to be bullying others, like dude, is it that hard to listen to your own child? I mean he's never bullied anyone before, so why the fuck would he start now? And the cheating thing, too... like, what was the point? Really? I thought the father was at least decent, even after the slapping-Rudy incident, but nope, apparently in the author's opinion, he just had to go and cheat.
I mean, I can't believe that the mother just let the cheating between her best friend and husbands slide so easily, Rudy aside. And what the fuck was up with Rudy, man? You're fine with your dad cheating just because the maid kept your stupid panties a secret? Playing those mind games, straight up, what the fuck was he even trying to accomplish? That whole chapter just sickened me to my stomach, and ruined the story for me.
Here I am trying to read this, but, again, the author keeps doing unnecessary shit. At this point, although I found him likeable the first few chapters, apparently he’s a pervert and he’s just gross and it's just plain unnerving. I seriously can't figure out what the author is trying to accomplish here... I really don't give a fuck whether it gets better, or not. Because I've read on... and save for a few decent points, the author just seems to be pulling shit out from here and there and "haha insert feel-good Rudy moment" and Jesus Christ, the longer I go on the more put-off I become.
OKAY THO honestly I felt that way when I read the beginning when I first read this. I was HIGHLY turned off by all the randomness and pervertedness of the manga but i was bored one day and read til the end and... if you push through... its decent. I'm not gonna sugar coat it and be like " Oh its fucking fantastic" like its the best one out there. A really good read for a boring day with nothing else to read. That's all I'm saying. (And they turn down the pervertedness later on.) (づ￣ ³￣)づ
lol i'm not the type to wade through shit to get to the "good stuff" ╮(￣▽￣)╭
idk how people do it. bc by the time i get to the "good stuff" i'm already too pissed off to acknowledge anything lololol (⊙…⊙ )
honestly I ignore a bunch of stuff and skim until it seems to get good. Although that's why I only go to these when there's nothing else to read.
ahhhhhh i do that sometimes too. i skim like crazy. like by the time i've grown to tolerate it, whatever happened in the plot is lost to me (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Because I can't see her as anything other than a selfish, bratty, child. You'd think being an adult, she'd realise that her family is poor, and thus unable to afford books, or any other luxuries for that matter. Not to mention, she always causes trouble, and doesn't listen to her family, throwing huge tantrums and refusing to do even the simplest chores. Jesus.
i dunno maybe she just wants books despite them being expensive is because its her source of comfort and she grew up with it in her past life, and maybe the chores are hard for her because she's sickly and frail, on top of having the consuming and not even being 7 years old yet. Despite causing trouble (half of which are due to her illness anyway) shes making more money than her parents and gives them money on top of paying for a temporary cure for her illness. i think she's at least allowed to complain if she has to go through all that.
besides i dont see any tantrums at all, just fainting, not once has she been rolling around on the ground screaming about anything
??...??????????? idek what to say to that...I guess we aren't reading the same manga.
ahaha that's not what I was referring to at all. I haven't even read that far, I'm talking about the beginning, where she's being a selfish brat. But just because she's making money doesn't justify extensive selfishness. Also, I thought she was in her late twenties, at least mentally?
i think her mental age has been affected by her physical age. it is better to think of her as a mature child. I understand what you mean. From the perspective of an adult it is strange that she is being inconsiderate to the financial and physical burden on her parents. however, as a child, she is not responsible for knowing how the world works, nor is she capable of taking care of herself. The way I see it, the same way a baby has the right to cry when they are hungry, she has the right to make her needs known as she is not capable of doing it herself. Also, as explained later, a lot of her behavior comes from her magically induced obsession with books. basically if she gives up on her goal of making books, she will die form magical consumption. As a defense for that she has been subconsciously single-minded about her goal. Making money is mostly incidental. as time goes on, she does try to take more responsibilities and help, but she is unable to.
I mean when you live in present-day Tokyo where everything is basically everywhere, you have everything you ever needed in life, then you're suddenly thrown into a world that has none of these amenities you grew up with that you're used to having, I think one would be a little bratty in the beginning. She's trying to find resources to keep herself clean (since no one really showers as often in the world she's stuck in compared to the world she lived in, which is understandable since a lack of showering could lead to bad health), and tries to find the one thing she loves which are books. Won't deny that she is a pain to her parents in the beginning, however, at the time she just wasn't used to that world yet and she did have tantrums but when thinking about it, it would be frustrating to live in a world that you now have to reside in that has regressed technology you're not used to.
Wait... so you're saying all this when you haven't read even the first volume?, are you serious?...
WHO WOULD DARE BEAT SUCH A PRETTY THING??????????????????????????? that bitch better get his country conquered Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
But... this was really just a big fat mess.
I'm not sure what I expected, and I get that this manhwa portrayed a "real relationship", not one of horny fantasy like so many others (not that I mind them, I like those too, just that this one is more of a take on reality). But perhaps, well most likely due to that, I'm just thinking that this manhwa ended up as, really, not much more than a clusterfuck.
I definitely wouldn't call it enjoyable. Most of the time I spent reading through was spent wondering wtf was happening. I didn't even realise that some situations were implications of cheating, until Lauren mentioned it. Hell, if someone asked me what the story was about, I wouldn't be able to say anything, just "um... two guys? in a relationship? no sex? that's a problem...? and then cheating and parental issues? they break up and get back together... the.. end...?" That would probably sum up the whole story. Even now, I'm not sure what happened exactly.
The ending just hit me like... ??? ok??? for the larger half of the manhwa, they're fighting and then suddenly Chip is cheating and then they break up and then they get back together and bam! its the End.
My feelings at the end were just... empty. No suspense, nothing. No excitement, not joy or sadness, just well... just 10/10 a disappointing read.
On the other hand, I find this so good. Binged read the whole thing too and I am so satisfied with the story and the conclusion. Was really looking forward to smut scenes but sadly, there ain't any but still enjoyed it nevertheless. Not really tryna argue but maybe the key reason why I enjoyed this is because as a guy, I kinda relate with the characters.
I mean, to each their own. Unfortunately, for me, this was probably one of the most mudane stories I've ever read. But I can see how people can be into that.
I feel the same. I was rooting for Chip up until he cheated. I get that the author wanted to portray that both were at fault for their breakup, but it ended up feeling... empty for me when they ended up together.
also, this is a bit late, but I'm a girl. So maybe that's why I couldn't relate lol
I was hella disappointed. I just realized now, but even communication didn't seem to be a factor in this story at all.
I don't think because you a guy. I'm a woman and I loved it, unlike the story are pretty far away from usual yaois (I like them too). There's something about real, twisted human being, their weakness, all those things that stuck down yourself.
I recognized characters I've met in my life and also parts of me.
My english is not very good... not unlike but thought
and I agree. It's not that it feels "incomplete", though it does, but more so that... I guess there wasn't any big huge climax, or drama, you know? So in that sense, it feels like something is missing, despite the fact everything felt natural and flowing throughout the story. I can see how the ending makes sense, despite everything that others are saying, though I would have appreciated there being a little extra something, you know?
she ends up with the prince, despite him again, pulling some douche shit, and she's gonna just forgive him for all of it.
So many people disliked your comment even though it's a fact ╮(￣▽￣)╭
