like, the mc, she's a nice person, she's just uh very stone-like and when she was young she was foolish. The issue with people like that or her 'fault' is that it takes time to know her true personality. People make assumptions especially when there's a better example beside them of someone who is both nice and open. However, the story correctly points out, people who are openly nice are either stupid or secretly cruel. imo I don't think the sister is evil, but she is stupid. She's uneducated and lacking in sense of place or time or etiquette. She's never had to worry about anything so she doesn't worry about anything, whereas the mc has always had to worry about everything leading to a very blank face.
Someone like the mc who has to learn how to care for people and how to circumnavigate to other's preferences will naturally become 'better' people if they already know how. But the unique combination of her youth and her foolishness makes it so that she becomes stone like and difficult to understand. She doesn't have anyone to explain anything and even if she did the people around her don't talk about it. As such, she becomes isolated because she doesn't know she has people around her and she begins to habour a very uh ig unconscious hate towards the world and her sister. She loves and hates her sister.
Imo, people like this do so because they naturally have the feeling or need to defend themselves. She has to defend against the fear of her lack of ability to match the fiance. Which is also another issue; her inequality in comparison to him. If someone does a cinderella marriage, unless they're a golddigger, it's actually a very bad decision. The inequalities or small differences in habit or living style and structure make people feel like they owe something to make up for their ineptitudes. I feel like a lot of her 'love' isn't really love but a need to become someone who her fiance can see as an equal without feeling like it's pity. At least part of jt is so. So when he falls in love with her sister she can't stand it more because she fears it says something about herself than someone else.
I don't really agree with how the story makes it so that people are more interested in her; imo it's usually the opposite. People like the mc are difficult to communicate with, there's no sudden interest and they're liable to be mistaken.
but the order of events were excellent. sometimes stories don't need to be complicated, they just need to have good pacing and structure. It doesn't necessarily represent some godly philosophical ideal, but idk it's just well written.

Blonde girl is either the author or someone who read the novel and wanted OG blonde girl to win.
Things like two-faced-ness eventually come out if you know them long enough. I don't think OG blonde girl was evil, but ig was infected. Black haired dog twins probably fell in love with OG blonde girl and system manipulated to cover new blonde girl.
She also knows what events to trigger to become 'similar' to the novel. There's no variation, and I just find that highly unlikely if OG red hair did them originally. She should have had some degree of difference since she's not red hair. She's probably the author imo or some watered down version of it so she has some degree of precognition.
idk, I feel like that's where this is going honestly. Older brother probably gets married to someone else. Younger brother probably stays with red hair. Happy ending. It'll just be a seesaw until then..
(I can't remember what Blonde girl's name is, but I remember the two jerks, but it's not consistent... if I knew two and not one)
You have good deduction skills, also nice Phos pfp!!
ur so on the nose about some stuff
it is the phos picture that enables my hidden brain cells to function... they're existance is a source of intelligence...
(but thanks!)
that's just proof of how much of these types of manga I've read... ┗( T﹏T )┛haha...
this author... really like chinese stuff huh... it's not a bad thing, just pretty interesting cause in my experience beyond JP, koreans avoid chinese aspects like the plague if they can...
Oh it's a cool but bazi is actually a thing! It's a fortune telling general term uhh thing (...) for people. So like they can determine your uh innate human 'weight' and 'future' in a sense if you know your birthday (but it has to be accurate to the time). It has stuff called 'bazi' and there are sort of different poems to describe someone's life through uhh ig various stages. So uhh if you had wenchangxing, you'd be a smart student or something. qisha is another one (apparently it describes a prostitute in her youth...). idk it's cool until you realize there are tens of thousands of probably millions of poems for different people and character types. And most of then use a ton of metaphors... that most people (even chinese people) don't understand lol.
But that uhh wood, fire, water, gold thing? Also the same system. The idea is that you have two sort of sets ig for the date. If you have two opposing elements uhhhh good luck... ig. You want to have it's called liuhe or six uhh connection??? If you want to have a good marriage you want to have liuhe with someone as well as sancaipeizhe (???). Basically your weight as a human should be the same as the person you're marrying. It's not as... obvious or straightforward as water against fire, but that's basically the idea. I think. there's secondary uh terms like you can be wood, but dark wood or light wood. yinmu or yangmu. Apparently yinmu people are two-faced and opportunistic...
There's also name numbering systems (but it only works for chinese names) that ig tell you your personality? Like, there are manuals on numbers to avoid umm 9, 19, so on so forth. 9 is a pretty bad number to have apparently (it's like equivalent of a two-faced asshole).
so if you know someone who has the value 9 for their name they probably are a yinmu.
Honestly, I'd prefer it if the older guy was interested in a nonsexual sense tbh, then it'd be cooler.
Not everything has to be sexual for people to like stuff... idk when authors will get that. There exists something called aromantic attraction, which is more likely than romantic attraction at this age gap.

He just gets married? Like that? To some random person?
What???
Like the martial arc was good but that last one was just fast paced nonsense. Like I don't mind him falling in love but that quickly?
That's faster than the speed at which mangago users click to see their favourite yaoi get updated...
Nah it’s pretty good. You just hating
No, imo it was pretty sudden for a manhwa of this type. Usually romance is slowly built into the entire narrative, not set to a specific arc. Like one arc they meet, next arc they spend time, next next arc they get closer or something.
It doesn't make much sense to me to do shove all of that into one arc and I know he has regressions, but since most of those are skipped, it's not like we have a sense of time.
I don't hate the romance, I just don't understand why they speedran it when they could've found a way to build it in over time.
It's like if they spent one entire novel writing about Harry and Ginny instead of a few chapters over the series.
they were off to a good start with the martial arts story then when he willingly went into the romance story himself that’s when it automatically went down hill for me.. i literally had to take a break from reading it no joke (〜￣△￣)〜 and i agree! it was too fast paced but considering they were on a time limit due to having to complete other apocalypses or whatever i guess it’s alright though i wish the author would’ve taken their time with it. i didn’t like the romance at all but maybe it was just because it was too fast paced.
I just realized, this is a satan x FL story, isn't it? idk why that's so funny to me... satan x FL, would you join me in hell? hahaha...
the complexity of the characters, the depth of their emotions - this is truly one of a kind...
