God, this author knows how to write infuriating and pathetic (not in a good way) male leads. I didn’t read side stories, because I’m not interested in side couples, so I only read the main story.
Maybe because I’m not a teenager, but the male lead pissed me off so much I wanted to jump in and just strangle him. He is fucking selfish in the most annoying way and it’s never truly resolved.
He throws tantrum and gets jealous when MC gets close to anyone, but he can woo and befriend anyone he wants. The whole manhwa started because of him and ran on his conditions. Bitch, he had feelings for MC for so long but kept denying himself because of what MC said to him YEARS ago when they were kids, but had no trouble kissing and making moves? Make it make sense.
ML is literally just a big child that throws tantrum and makes it about him when things don’t go his way. When MC finally calls him out on his bullshit, the fucker then makes the situation about HIMSELF. How HE is miserable and hurting when he is the one that made the fucking bed. He literally never thought about how MC is miserable because of his actions and just cared about himself.
The manipulation in that situation goes crazy. He is selfish until the very end and I just hoped he would suffer longer to get his fucking head straight.
Anyways, MC is a pookie and deserved so much better. He deserves someone more emotionally mature that would put him first. And not this fucker. God, I hate this ML so much.
