sleepyhead's activites

I HAAAATTTEEE stories where MC uses ML for something and then it gets very messy. I can’t handle this drama that can potentially be the main problem for the whole story. But this manhwa has such a high rating and is praised a lot, so I really want to continue reading it, but it’s really tough to get past the first chapters. I just caaaanntttt.

Can someone give me light spoilers? Is the whole story just MC using ML in the beginning, they fall in love, but then ML finds out and MC is working to get back together (just my prediction and assumption of how the story will go but I actually have no idea how it will go down)?

I want to know, please ╥﹏╥

It felt like author plans to have stories tied to this one the way they just drop the other characters’ lore and problems (for example, the girl and her boyfriend), but then does nothing with it.

I’ve read stories like that before where author highlights that the character is important and shows bits of their struggles/backstory (like randomly mentioning the girl’s father, her connection to that CEO lady and etc) to then create a spin-off in the same universe. So it will be really disappointing and infuriating if that doesn’t happen now, because it just reads as out of pocket stuff that leaves reader unsatisfied and with more questions. Especially when the story is not that long and it makes main couple’s time shorter when author keeps focusing on other characters.

I love the characters though, but I just wished author made it a little longer to show more of the main couple and their development. Like, the fact that MC contacted his dad and was chill with him was just out of nowhere??? I don’t mind them reconciling, but not showing the process of MC’s journey that led him to accept his father is DIABOLICAL. But it’s just my opinion though.

The dude is so infuriating and their relationship is so doomed. I legit don’t know how author can make it satisfying when they end up together after all that shit and stupidity. He even admitted that he knew that the letter is probably forged (around chapter 48-49?) but CHOSE to hate and neglect her. And the whole thing with ‘while isolating her he also was isolating himself’ BOOHOO!!!!

The worst thing is that I can fucking smell that everything is going to be resolved with ML sacrificing himself, making FL cry and realise that she loves him. You know, how authors do all the time when they write these stories but have no idea how to mend the relationship.

I quit reading the side stories as soon as the red head story came up. Then I came back today just to finally finish this manhwa and put it to rest.

I don’t understand people who were genuinely rooting for him.

As a reader, I was disgusted with him for a long time for what he was doing to Suha and the sadistic shit he was doing. So I got really pissed at the idea that Suha’s close friend might get into a relationship with his best friend’s abuser of many years. That made me sick to my stomach.

I would understand it if the red head (didn’t even bother to remember his name, yes) changed a little. However, even if he went to therapy and atoned for what he did, I am still disgusted with him and don’t want to see his own story. Like just a mention that he got a happy end somewhere? Good for him. Reading his story? No, thank you.

And he didn’t even change. The story literally ended with him almost killing the person he was in love with, so I don’t understand people grasping for straws for his ‘character development’. Like, feeling bad for what he did is a BARE minimum as a person. And then he just started stalking the guy anyway and promised to never give up. A character development would’ve been him realising how much his life spiralled down and he needs to work on himself, letting go of the guy to let him be happy without him. That’s character development where he would’ve shown that he is starting putting someone’s happiness over his and stopping being selfish piece of shit, but no. He is still the same piece of shit.

Then there is constant torture of that red head. Yes, I fucking hate his guts, but that was just disgusting. Also, the fact that this fucking piece of shit needed all that torture to gain just a tiny fraction of character development (mind you, it still didn’t make him feel bad for what he did to Suha. not even a mention of him regretting), then it’s just a further proof that the character is ass and I don’t want to see his development.

Dear author, if you don’t know how to write an unlikeable character and their redemption afterwards, don’t fucking write then. I’m all for asshole characters getting character development, because when it’s written right - it’s mind opening and gain more empathy/different perspective. With this piece of shit story, it was going nowhere and led to nowhere.

Their side story was ass and nothing can change my opinion. The character is ass. The story is ass. Development is ass. Ending is ass. Everything is ass.

Put the fries in the bag and wrap it up

Just a few chapters ago, Dr. Seok was already flagged by the higher ups as untrustworthy and suspicious. Then, just one chapter ago, we find out that the First Master ordered to kill Dr. Oh on ‘grounds of rebel activity’. Right after hearing that, Kwak sees the code in Dr. Seok and him trying to contact Eden. Of course he is scared and pissed at Seokhwa. Scared that Dr. Seok will be killed like Dr. Oh and pissed because he works for Eden after we saw how fucked they are/still trying to do stuff after explicitly being told to keep it down. He is supposed to tell higher ups and execute him, but he doesn’t. Instead he is keeping it low and just brings Seokwa for detention.

His loyalty is not to Rainbow City and you could tell by his disdain towards the higher ups and from his background. He is literally abusing his power to SAVE Seokhwa. Even when he thinks he is working with Eden.

If he left Seokhwa be (in other words, turning a blind eye AGAIN), he would’ve been killed!!! Especially when the tension is rising between rebels and Rainbow City’s masters. Then there’s beef between masters themselves. It was only a matter of time before Dr. Seok would’ve been found out, so being found out by Kwak was THE best case scenario.

Reading some of the comments I feel like people just skip the dialogue and not understand what’s happening in the manhwa.

Major Kwak is doing the best he can in the current situation.

Wtf was the point of SA scene? It literally served 0 purpose. Absolutely nothing would’ve changed without it. MC could’ve gone to the bathroom, ML following him and then followed by them talking it out. I’m tired of authors using SA/rape as shock content or just browny points for ML to save MC. Fucking hell, we didn’t even see ML go crazy and crush that guy’s dick. Literally what was the point?

MC gets assaulted, the fucker gets away unscathed and MC says “yeah, anyways, I’m not even bothered by that”. WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFF

I guess Luke would just be in a wheelchair for the rest of the season because what the fuck is this monster size. My guy won’t be able to walk for months after being pounded by that holy shit

Also I saw someone on tiktok do the math and the lightsaber is approximately 30cm. 11.8 inches for Americans.

Running away from commitment, but loooooving the benefits of a relationship, while also being very possessive is the opposite of hot. In fact, I think I can never get horny ever again because of what I just read.

I devoured the first chapters of this manhwa, but I was feeling more and more conflicted the closer I got to the end.

To keep it short: author executed their idea poorly and rushed some things. I loved the plot-twist that black hair was actually a villain and how badass MC was, while discovering and setting traps for both of the guys.

However, author fucked up by spending so much time building up the black haired guy, leaving the actual ML in the background for too long. Probably (in my opinion), author tried to make readers feel betrayed like MC by setting this up as a perfect love story and slowly turning it into a horror. But it all felt too much and unrealistic in terms of character development.

It showed how much the black haired guy loved MC. He thought he wasn’t worthy, so he never pushed to be together with her and just wanted her to be happy. Then he saw she wasn’t happy, tried to manipulate the situation and just made her miserable. My problem is that it felt too sudden. As MC said a few times in the manhwa, people don’t do just stuff out of nowhere. If author showed his problematic behaviour before he just went from 0 to 100, then this wouldn’t be a problem. But this whole thing felt like author kept just throwing one thing after another to make the guy the biggest piece of shit without any redeemable characteristics. There was no build-up.

Then the actual ML didn’t get ANY attention or redemption. He got so overshadowed by the fake ML that it’s no wonder people don’t care much about the ending. If author included him more and showed more moments with MC then he wouldn’t be so bleak.

In other words, author backed themselves into a corner by making black haired guy more likable than the actual ML, so they tried to make him as evil as possible and as quick as possible.

Also, the whole thing with god just felt so cringy and unnecessary? God’s motive for sending both of them back was ‘to have fun’, but like… aren’t they omnipotent and omniscient? They know everything about past, present, future and all the alternative futures. God already knew from the beginning how the ‘game’ will go and end, so why????

Anyways, I still feel more emotions towards the black-haired guy rather than the actual ML. Not awful, but could be better. I wanted to like this manhwa so bad, but I just can’t T_T

I had to quit browser when I saw ML’s back and couldn’t come back to finish the chapter for a while… I actually got so scared for MC that it’s not even funny.

Thoughts and prayers, baby… Thoughts and prayers… Now I’m just going to let this marinate, because suspense on top of consequences of MC’s escape is too much for me.

I’m not saying that this manhwa is a 10/10. This manhwa is not perfect, but it definitely doesn’t deserve a rating below 9. Maybe a solid 9.0 or 9.1.

I liked the plot, because it didn’t side track anywhere. From the beginning it posed a problem and the whole manhwa is slowly solving that problem. Yes, there are some plot holes or stuff that author just decided to add and not elaborate further, but it was still good.

Main character, Elijah, is amazing. I loved the character development from a girl that just lived for one man to an independent woman that gained self-respect and confidence. She knows her worth and was not making it easy for Raymond to just enter her life again after all the shitty things he did. Unlike some characters… *cough cough* Seohyeon from “ How To Reject My Obsessive Ex-Husband” *cough cough*

The regret in this manhwa was good and I loved that it took a long time for Elijah to forgive Raymond (ML). However, yes, the chasing and actual earning of forgiveness was done poorly. I didn’t like that Raymond never directly apologised or acknowledged all the things he has done wrong with Elijah. He just passively hanged around her until she forgave him, which was… meh… However! Raymond didn’t do anything insane to Elijah for me to hate it. I’m not in any way defending him, by the way. He was still a shitty friend and husband that made Elijah feel miserable. However, his actions were enough for readers to dislike him, but not outright hate him. There are manhwas where ML just straight up r*pe and abuse MCs, but then get forgiven more quickly than Raymond did, so yeah. Could be better, but it wasn’t awful and rage inducing.

In other words, the author had the perfect formula for regret trope: just enough trashy ML that wasn’t actually disgusting and amazing main character who stands on business. But still, somehow, fumbled THE perfect setup for regret and chasing.

This manhwa has its hit and miss moments, but I refuse to think that this manhwa is worse than most of the regret trope manhwas that actually have diabolical MLs and boring plots, but somehow have a high rating.

Absolutely loved first season and I was one of the OGs for this manhwa. I was there when there were only ~20 chapters and was ongoing, so this manhwa has a special place in my heart.

I can list a lot of good things about this manhwa: battles, art style, perfectly placed comedy, magic and abilities, Sung Jinwo himself, and etc.

But second season was kind of disappointing…

I didn’t like romance, because it felt half-assed and put there just to be there. Especially when the FL had such a great potential as a character and a hunter/fighter, but was just reduced to a ‘powerful woman that is really in love with MC’ and it became her whole personality. Give her more screen time and character development or just not include romance at all.

Then when Sung Jinwo got rid of the system and fused with the OG monarch, it ruined the whole point of Solo Leveling. Before, he had to work through blood, sweat and tears to become stronger. That’s why the character wasn’t cringe or annoying like some other OP characters in similar manhwas. But then he fuses with the OG Shadow Monarch and everything goes out of the window. Now he becomes super OP and HUNDRED times stronger (not just a few levels like he usually does it after overcoming and obstacle), which begs the question: what the fuck was it all for. It just showed that all of Sung Jinwo effort to become strong was just useless in the end, because it took him a few minutes to just become a god basically.

And, finally, the ending was just ass. Going back in time is the same as ‘and then I woke up’ ending. Everything a reader went through emotionally and getting attached to other characters just went straight to a trash bin. All the character development got wiped. Then, after all that sacrifice from him, Sung Jinwo comes back and decides to STAY, knowing that it will have negative effects on Earth and everyone else.

DIDN’T YOU SACRIFICE EVERYTHING TO PROTECT EARTH??? YOUR FAMILY??? WHAT??? LITERALLY WHAT WAS THE POINT???

Readers were literally getting slapped left and right in the last chapters.

Manhwa is still amazing, but I’m sad that second season kinda fumbled.

I had to take a lot of breaks reading this, because the second half was so stressful and sometimes I just couldn’t stomach the villains.

Villains in this one are just vile. It’s been a while since I’ve been this disgusted and praying for these bitches to have worst possible end. Sad that most of them just died without much suffering and the doctor is still walking freely.

The main couple was amazing and I loved them. Wish they had more chapters where they just happy and all domestic with each other (especially after all the shit they’ve been through), so I hope for extras. I want to see Max and Chris happy :(

I also loved the police husbands with all my heart. I was screaming when Nathan got stabbed and almost died. I definitely gained a few white hairs after that one. I want more of their story and them be together/in touch with the main couple (they literally treated Chris as their son please )

I feel bad for MC, because he is genuinely such a sweet and kind guy. But Kotani, his love interest, is just an asshole 90% of the time for no reason. I think author is trying to make them banter to keep the ‘enemies to lovers’ essence, but it’s painful to read and just doesn’t work. It’s not a banter if MC always feels like shit or hurt because of Kotani’s words that are said out of pocket most of the time.

Furthermore, whenever Kotani hurts MC - they just fuck. No talking it out or sharing their feelings. Dude just fucks MC and doesn’t care if he is mad or not (literally what he says in one of the chapters). This is soooo romantic (*sarcasm*).

They are suppose to be fated mates. Soulmates. People that click together like a puzzle. But the only thing that ‘clicks’ for them is sex. Their personalities and outlook of life are just not compatible. Realistically, this couple just doesn’t work beyond a purely sexual relationship. For example, the desire for marriage and kids are a pretty big deal when people start dating. If your partner wants kids and marriage, but you don’t - the relationship won’t work. And it’s just one of MANY things that don’t match for both of them.

On top of that, Kotani treats MC like a fuck buddy rather than a long term partner, which just pisses me off (again, because MC is actually sweet and lovely). He is just taking MC’s love for granted, and I can’t wait for him to get his head straight later when second male lead (?) appears.

I really hope Kotani gets his shit together, because he does not deserve MC whatsoever.

Ever since Han Saegae was a child, he would constantly dream about this one particular man. After se...

Aaron Hunter’s got it all. Looks, talent, and he just won the award for best actor. He does ha...

I LOVED this manhwa so much. Both MCs are so cute and it was such a delight to read their interactions. It’s so refreshing to see a nice and green flag ML that is not an asshole or batshit crazy (it’s a trend with manhwas lately). I literally cannot remember the last time I read a manhwa with such a green flag couple that actually resolves their problems quickly by talking to each other and not just fucking to mend it.

I absolutely adored their expressions and their “conflicts”. The only downside is that it was too short. Just a liiiiiiitle bit longer and it would’ve been amazing. However, it still has a complete story and doesn’t deserve such a low rating!!!!

The special episodes, however… were disappointing. I was so hyped to read more about my babies, but was met with a typical manhwa toxic story that I literally mentioned above. It went from green forest to sirens blaring everywhere. The side couple just came out of nowhere and the doctor literally deserves better. And by the way the specials ended, he will for sure dump that fucker.

But even though the specials were bad, the manhwa still doesn’t deserve such a low rating, when ‘JINX’ AND FUCKINH ‘KISS ME, LIAR’ HAVE HIGHER RATING!!! RAAAAAAAHHHHH

He's incapable of recognising other people's faces. The only exception to that symptom is ...
