I mean he’s not wrong but Callisto what the actual fk was that LOL

She’s such a bad bitch and downright scary. This is what a true villainess is like and I hate her so much as a human being but damn is she a fantastic character.

Honestly love this story because we all know Naru was a sketchy ass person since all the other volumes, so it wouldn’t be in-character for him to suddenly be capable of having some super green fluffy romance. I’m curious to see where this all leads since the story has been touching upon some very ugly, uncomfortable themes and truths, the so-called ‘forbidden romance’ genre. I’m a sucker for doomed relationships in fiction lol

Akira ending up with the girl is the shittiest and dumbest decision ever, not because of the whole straight or not straight debate, but because as a story, Akira has ZERO proper development with that girl. The entire manga is about him and his interactions with the other guys, so if he ends up with the girl, that means the author wasted all those chapters of character development with the guys when they could’ve used it to justify Akira’s ending with that girl. The reason why people can’t handle the girl is because she came out of NOWHERE, got zero development, and ended up with the main character like wtf as an author, you failed if none of your readers can understand why he chooses the girl. You need proper justification through lots of dialogue, interactions, and development for readers to accept whoever the endgame romance interest will be, not just shove it in everyone’s face TADA surprise at the VERY end.

I’m literally dying every chapter wtf is this crack omg it’s SO GOOD, like it’s utterly hilarious but also sexy as hell??? Holy shit, this needs an official version immediately because I would buy the hell out of this—

I genuinely do not understand why people hate the ML or the FL. To be quite honest, they have the most refreshing slow burn romance I’ve seen in this genre so far and it’s brilliant. The FL is never a damsel in distress and their power dynamic is so equal and balanced it’s actually amazing. This is what it means to truly “support” eachother, not those other romance Isekai where the ML pushed their own agendas on the FL or overprotects her and vice versa.

Literally, this ML is one of the very rare male characters that actually NEVER forces his feelings upon the FL nor does he overstep his boundaries by making her decisions for her. He listens to her, but isn’t a brainless simp either. He doesn’t intervene unless she is genuinely in danger and allows her to do as she pleases. It cannot get better than that. Even if she puts herself in danger on purpose, he doesn’t try to “talk” her out of it or guilt trip her into stopping her plans because he’s concerned for her safety. He trusts her and accepts her plans as they are and tries his best to accommodate her wishes without intruding into her plans, even if he personally feels differently.

And the FL actually stays in character the whole time. She isn’t suddenly falling and blushing for the ML out of nowhere, nor does she immediately rely on him. She’s independent, but also not “dense” to the point where it gets annoying. She’s always honest and sincere with her feelings, and I think that is what makes her amazing. There’s no manipulation on her part and she treats him with respect just like he does. It genuinely feels like a friends to partners to lovers story and I enjoy every moment of their budding romance. It feels so realistic, well-paced, and subtle.

I have no idea how people think the romance is fast-paced and cannot wonder if it’s a problem with reading comprehension, because the both of them are definitely not crazy over each other after less than three meetings. They still treat each other as friends despite having some “feelings” for the other, prioritizing their plans and the other’s wellbeing before romance. There’s no stupid or forced blushing moments; it really feels like a proper slow burn romance. They are not lovers, and yet are always willing to stand by each other’s side. I don’t know about y’all but I seriously think their relationship is SUPER GREEN flag. Way better than most in this genre, in fact.

I was about to throw hands if the MC released the saintess because Midou wanted to be a goddamn hero and then ended up getting everyone even more fked. I’m so glad he shot her and ran off to do things alone. All the other kids are dumb and selfish as hell. He doesn’t need any of them.

Idk why people are mad at the story being fucked up because the story is…meant to be fucked up??? The genre is obviously tragedy and a shit ton of angst, clearly with lots of immoral and dubious things going on. Point is, it’s a melodrama story with tragedy. It’s supposed to make you feel angry and uncomfortable. It’s not supposed to make “sense”. People fall in love for stupid reasons, they do things that are illogical. The plot is going to make you frustrated af because the point is: no one in this story is mentally sane. They’re not perfect, they can be horrible human beings, they can make really bad decisions, and end up suffering with regrets.

They all have trauma and, judging from what I see in the novel, this is a story about healing for everyone involved in the whole bs that led up to the FL’s banishment. It’s not really meant to be a romance story in the most romantic sense. It’s about finding comfort and solace; finding peace of mind in the strangest of places.

You might think it’s stupid or “spineless” of the FL to fall for the kid, but it’s not like she’s doing it on purpose. She’s suffering from her past love and can’t help but see the traces of Bright in his son—which btw, is also Lloyd’s “trauma” because he hates his father. I think the idea is quite poetic: Wisteria moving on from her past love by seeing the “real” Lloyd eventually and Lloyd moving out of his father’s shadows, realizing that he isn’t the same person as his father. Basically, they are exactly the right person to help each other move past their traumas and I think that is what the author is trying to say.

I don’t care what people say about the weird age gap and underlying incest because yes, it’s fucked up and no one is going to deny that. However, just because the FL is mentally weak or the romance is disgusting doesn’t make the story “bad.” Those are two totally different things. A story can be fucked up and still be good.

Anyway, I just feel like all the people bashing the FL for her decisions are reading the wrong story because it’s clearly not the right genre for them. I’ve read a lot of really ridiculous angsty shoujo works and as stupid as they can be, they can surprisingly be incredibly moving. I think the best way to read these types of stories is to stop projecting yourself onto the FL and just read the story like what it’s meant to be: a messed up fictional story about a certain character’s life.

Good or bad ML aside, I kinda like this story lmao? It’s so entertaining to me and actually quite unique since we’re seeing a new generation of characters coming into play. I can already smell everything ending with tragedy and a lot of angst on everyone’s part and I’m all here for it.

You know a story fucked up so badly when at this point, I’d rather ship Yahwi x Cain than Jooin with any of these guys because holy fucking shit NONE of the relationships make sense. I might as well go off the deep end and create a random as fuck pairing and it’ll STILL have more chemistry than whatever the fuckfest the current plot is at the moment. I’m actually laughing so hard lol
