The boss was grown up enough to see the anxiety that dajeong has, and he fully, ruthlessly manipulated him into having no one else to depend on except him after the mom's death. And now that he has full control over dajeong to the point where he knows dajeong has nowhere to go and wouldn't want to go elsewhere, he is making sure to completely crush him. He almost killed him ffs. SCUMBAG.

Cliff's and Rise's endings in the novel were not satisfying at all. Rise became unbearably 2-D and got no comeuppance for her murder of all the ediths and all the plotting. She was punished after enjoying being the duchess for a long time. And then Cliff just stayed the duke and eventually married another lady with no consequence of having attempted to kill edith.
And all this time the main couple were away in the far off territory, receiving no rewards or apologies from the duke, duchess, cliff or rise. They were happy and they made the place prosper, of course. But what kind of a payoff is that for all the shit edith had to go through. So I much prefer this. The only thing i didn't like was how much they downplayed and removed the shit edith went through in captivity, and how much she was ready to give up. That would've made this entire comeback much more satisfactory.
I can see why the people who love the novel would like to preserve the original storyline. But honestly, even with the story changes in the manhwa, it isn't out-of-character for cliff, rise and others to act in this manner, so these changes are quite easy to swallow. Eager to see more.

if the ML's subsidiary pulling funding was the sole cause of the business's downfall, then the company wouldn't have survived anyway. The real issue is the father of MC taking out loans from loan sharks and getting his son to pay them all. The one responsible for MC's mess isn't the ML, its his father.

i would love every yandere and confinement arc if it was like this. This was just so sweet, I am a sucker for a ML who has a full hearty laugh. These two match each other so well, and it really comes across that they both care for each other a lot. In other novels it doesn't show at all that both the leads love each other, apart from them bleating about it incessantly and then acting the exact opposite of their words.
And i will admit I haven't revisited the earlier chapters, but it seems like she has to try very hard to keep up appearances and stay on her toes with tatsuo, and she was far more open and comfortable in her skin with kouya. What broke her and kouya apart was them starting to keep up appearances and pride in front of each other instead of being completely honest, the way she always is with tatsuo. He is a lot more mature and smoother, and she doesn't see herself as an equal and keeps sidelining and doubting herself in this relationship.
Again my memory of the entire dynamic is shaky so I could be wrong.
