The MC strikes me as… well, dumb.
I mean, I’m still at chapter 4. But I want to comment cause fuck bro she just created her own misery. She’s dumb as fuck and idk if I can continue reading.
But I’m kinda interested. But she makes it so dramatic for no reason.
Do people just not talk? Mannn, I really can’t sympathize right now I’m so hungry. She can’t talk to his Father that she KNOWS loves her mom so much. She feels like the counTESS has more power than the COUNT HIMSELF.
Making the problem seemed bigger cause of being tight-lipped. She knows the count do FAVOR her. I get that she doesn’t love him or some shit but bruh use your fucking resources.
You’ve given yourself a chance to change your life by letting them take you away and that ha when she declared she doesn’t trust anyone. People change so why in the fuck don’t you tell your dad THE VERY THING HE TALKS TO YOU ABOUT.
The more I talk about it the more I get pissed off.
Also, I feel like the author is lost. She’s lost in what the hell the MC is. First off, she introduces her as weak. Then, could make a show as to not get bullied. Distrustful but open. And then, when she got older she was somehow meek?? When she was sly for exposing her teacher by luring her dad out.
If you didn’t get that, she USED her dad.
The author needs to get this maderfreakin straight cause it don’t make sense. Why she acting like she got no choice but be a damsel in distress.
Girl stand the fuck up.
It’s probably for the plot. I know that but fuck.
Come on.
I was sure when I started reading this it was up to 75+ chapters. I’ve read this before but even after forgetting and picking it back up again it’s still up to hear.
At this rate I’ll die first before all these unfinished stories gets completed.
This was so good ╥﹏╥ watch me pick this up again years later not knowing I’ve binge this twice.
——————
I kinda wanna do a life yap so you can go now
I’m somehow happy I’m forgotten. It’s done me a great favor. I felt my freedom in my hands again. I was feeling helpless but how strange how the very few words we exchanged broke me free from that feeling that I was trapped in for years. Strange. I’m grateful for it. It was sad but I’m free now. Ohmyghad what a cringy thing to say. fuck. I guess it needs that cringiness, it was quite the run. The memories might just be worth being cringy over. Here’s to my last dedication to you. Under a story that took two lifetimes to finish.
This is so beautiful what the fuck
Ah. I made a mistake of clicking something and erase my comment.
Great.
Now what do I do.
Why in the lovely fuck does this happen only when I forget to copy my goddamn essay of a comment?
Shit bro I don't have feelings anymore. Fuck everything ╥﹏╥
Lmaoo nooo i know just how much that sucks TT
stories like these are edging me goddamn
I should let this marinate but it's so good ( T﹏T )┛
Hmm.
It ended.
I was exasperated while reading the last few chapters. This is... a story... fr. I'm trying to think back without re-reading it, what the hell was that about?
Terribly plot-defective. (This was line was translated from Japanese. They got some sick verses hahaha went for the throat.)
First, they gang-raped him. There were spectators PLUS they sold his damn tapes.
WHERE IN THE FUCK ARE THE ADULTS?
I think, that's the biggest plothole there is. Cutting out a whole ass age range. Incredibly convenient for the plot.
You know, I kind of understand it. Them not condemning those motherfuxkers. Cause it was not him. He was not the one that got raped. And so I can see he wants to throw some punches but it wasn't that serious for him because he wasn't personally involved. The world can be messed up like that. But it's still shitty though.
For all that he did go through for the original owner of the body you'd think he'd want him to be given justice. But in the end there wasn't even an altercation. Just a threat. They just let evil deal with another evil. And they live their lives. Respect, deadass. Live your life, pookie.
Anyway, I got to mention this because I kinda got secondhand embarrassment. Pookie said he planned it all. But got his lover licked in the neck, battered, and kneeling. Yep. Sounds like a plan well thought out. Planned to protect, huh? Silly.
That scene could've been better honestly. It feels like it popped out of the blue when the characters are foreshadowing it so hard. It wanted it to be GRAND. But it didn't even raise from the ground. You're telling me with all that that was what came out of it?
Rape, bullying, manipulation, mental illness, bystander effect, social heirarchy, nature vs nurture, trauma bonding, and many more. Those are a lot of topic to get from. To write a scene from. It let me down.
It's like it was controlled. the scene. The author didn't let it free. I could feel it being gripped. Always just threading along the topic not ever confronting it. And I wished, I always wish these for stories. But I hope those who can write isn't afraid to write.
There are people out there who might not have enough tools with them to fight the evil things in the world. Through stories people can learn. Instead of letting it go why not step unto the mud for once? Let the ugly be seen. Let it bring chaos. Let it bring discourse. Make people think. Make them mad. Make them feel heard.
It feels like people are afraid to write because when the public finds a target they'll run them through the ground. Always the safe option. Always the milder take. Always holding back.
I'm straying.
Haha
This was good but it could've been more.
you know what i agree with you 100%
the gang rape and the tape being spread everywhere and everyone barely blinking - no adult intervention, neither the og taemin nor his love interest (woojin) being particularly bothered by it
i was so mad about it all, this story could have been more gripping and have more depth if the issues above were addressed better ….
Given for taemin's personality, I was expecting for the author to have this like "this person got bullied so I'll be the one avenging them" plot thing and we would see every bully (well not every bully but like the perpetrators) to be like dealt with and get their karma and woojin was gonna help. After reading tho, I kinda got disappointed cuz it was like as if siwon didn't really matter to the story, he got trapped, abused, and blackmailed, it would have been more interesting if we got more of his character other than the "bullied character that gets possessed by a ultimate tough guy" but nah he was just a plot device and honestly really disappointed me. This story is like a 7.1/10
I agree 100%. The premise of this story was good but it was poorly executed. The plot became underwhelming, I truly had no idea wtf they were even trying to do. Get back at Joohoon? The twin? Like what was even the point of any of it?? I feel like nothing even happened. And you're right, the twist was painfully predictable and also boring as hell. All the characters were super one dimensional. I hated all of them except Taemin.
And the whole thing about no adults bothered me too. Where are the teachers, parents, anyone? These guys literally filmed a rape video. I know the translator said bullying isn't taken seriously in Korea but he was quite literally raped on film. Taemin has been shown to care for people who suffer yet he somehow doesnt care about this person whose body he's in and whose life he is living. And the fact that the original Siwon was barely a part of the story is abysmal. The story is quite literally about his life and the horrible things he went through but nothing came out of it?? Siwon would've made a way cooler character. I would've loved to see his revenge.
Also I couldn't stand Woojin. His "cool and mysterious" personality seemed forced and his backstory was ass.
everyone in this comment section, you guys are all SO right and if i could like each one of your comment i would
I'm boiling with rage. I read this on my teens and back then I had to turn off my brain to not be mad about the lack of justice. Came here again to reread cause why not. I need to go to the doctor no kidding. My blood pressor is so bad I'm seeing the world going around. So much fucking hate
Real.
I shouldn’t have read this at this point in my life. I’ve read several stories now but here I am writing this particular story a comment cause it ticked me off when I promised myself to look on to the positive things in life.
Anyway, I was planning to go off on this story but mann why was I expecting adult problem-solving when these are kids. Ticked me tf off when I haven’t thought of it that way honestly. These are some dramatic people quite honestly.
Especially that Jinwook(?) Bruh that kid. I didn’t even read that bg story other than it was a snoozefest, what a fucking prick that one. I can’t be in that one’s mind. I’d puke. Imagine creating your own poison then blaming other people hahshahaha sick ass motherfucker. If someone actually defends him under my comment go to another dimension and kiss his ass bruh. I’m so appalled by him, i’d be appalled by his fans too. I’d comment more but I haven’t finished the story. I’m at chap 48 so I don’t want to put a dot Dot on it yet.
Anyway, you really can tell that the mc is a fucking dumbass. But like he can’t help it really. You can’t help choosing bad decisions when you’re dumb, you don’t have the right braincells for it, ya know? Yeah, but shit bruh he lived in the fucking streets all his life. Went on to live his life interacting with people. Surely you’d develop some instincts and life-preservation.
Ticked me off when he followed that Joohoon WHILE KNOWING WHAT HE DID WHAT HE CAN DO AND WHAT HE MIGHT DO
WHILE KNOWING THE BODY HE’S IN IS IN NO CONDITION TO PREVENT ANYTHING OR EVERYTHING THAT’S ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
I can’t be that dumb, right? I refuse to be that dumb. Anyone shouldn’t be that dumb. And he got save by the ml. How though? Like a fucking miracle. ML immediately knows where he is. When (we were given context) they don’t know each other. mc didn’t mentioned him. And the timeframe wasn’t quite right but like manga logic bruh I hated that. I would’ve been impressed if he used his street smarts SENSING DANGEROUS PEOPLE but no bruh he really went in to TALK. What a fucking idiot but yeah what can he do really. The author branded him that. An idiot that knows how to throw a punch that has seen the dark side of life but is a naive virgin. Well, people can be that.
But yeah disregard the years he’s been crawling just to get by. You can’t tell me he was out there without his brains bruh surviving for 18 years. And now that he is in highschool with a bunch of kids… you’re telling me he lost all that braincells? Ticked me off that one scene really. And many more but it’s the character the author wanted him to be… it was consistent.
But idk I sense something but I can’t pin it down. Maybe because I haven’t read it yet. Hmm. That’s a long ass comment for something I haven’t even finished ticked me off I couldn’t restrain myself to yap.
I really don’t know what to make out with this story. It’s such a weird vibe. Idk.
Been away for too long and this is what i read.
Ngl it’s hot. The kissing scene is top- tier mannn but bruh what was that?
And it’s completed already??
Because it was so short it didn’t root on me at all.
I just stayed for the plot cause the people were saying it’s sad. And I’m supposed to be emotionally unstable cause it’s my red days but dang this did nothing lol. Maybe because I just ate? So maybe I’m in a good state of mind? Am trying to understand what went wrong, why is this is just meh to me? Hmm.
I was going to drop it on chap 5(?)6(?) but when I looked it was just a short story I stayed and that didn’t made it any better nor did it add to anything really.
So spoilers ahead… I’m gonna dissect this or something
So basically Heewon altered this guy’s life like some god. And Mugyeong(?) fell in his trap thinking the spider that owned the web was the saviour that was going to get him out of it. But as he struggle to get out, the more the web sticked to him entangling him even further until he can no longer move. That was when Heewon decided to show his real self.
I wish this was climactic like I just described but it was so short it couldn’t be anything more. But the story had potential. It just needed for chapters. A more fleshed out plot.
Idk really. It wasn’t given depth so I can’t sympathize. I love me some possessive and obsessive seme but this seme didn’t make the cut didn’t make me feel “it” that delicious tingly feeing of over-indulging.
He felt pathetic. ill. Pitiful.
He was just an empty husk with a human form. Craving for love cause he doesn’t have any. Funny because he was supposed to have been raised in a “happy” household. His mother may be a bit twisted but she made his dad happy and in turn the dad was the healthy kind of loving. It may have been the genes. Begs me to ask the question, nature vs nurture? Haha.
But yeah, it was done before anything concluded. Like already folding the clothes while it’s still being washed.
It’s like the author wanted to be mysterious but honestly it just tastes stale. With a love for something psychological and the power to make stories author could have done wonders honestly. Rarely does something this serious be heavily tackled but like that princess rap battle song line, “it’s like you always choke once you make it to the balls.”
Had the potential “but like a pornstar, you blew it.”
Don’t take this seriously y’all I got me some serious case of yappinglitis.
Work experience with NO PAY? You gotta be fucking kidding me. And the owner wants to pay her too. Girl take the damn coin.
What the fuck is going on with her?
She’s a rich aristocrat daughter not lacking anything
How could he possibly pay her compared to her lifestyle ?
The duke’s son thought her dad bought her a shop : that’s the kind of money she could obviously ask for without any trouble :)
She take what she needs (experience) ans leave what she doesn’t (small money, obviously)
Yeah, that would make sense if she were a rich daughter born out of normal circumstances, but she had thought she was an orphan before she got found. Struggled to live life at a young age and even was the one to sell their stuff at the market got bullied and all.
What I was saying was that I don’t think she really thought she was part of that family. Otherwise why would she hide her going to work (when really in your line of thought she could’ve asked to be, what I think at the level of their richness, at a much better apothecary) and why she never told her dad her stepmom was threatening her. Why a lot of things she could’ve but wouldn’t.
That was why it would make sense to me she would want to make her own money. Cause heck life’s hard and you don’t even feel like you fit in the family you were absorbed to.
Anyway, she really did thought of finally getting paid because she didn’t want to ask her dad for money… idk if she ever did though, asked or got a damn salary, I havent read the updates and I don’t think I will based on the comments I had on here which was still getting traction for some reason even though 2 updates had passed (i imagined my comments would be buried by this time)
