I like this because it’s kind of a truer depiction of a Cinderella story. Subjugated classes have always struggled with the whims of the elite. The fantasy of a rich savior is just that. Plus, the art is so beautiful. It’s such a nice contrast with the dark content. I’ve never come across a story like this, and I’m really attracted to historical depictions of “romance”.
I’m someone that avoids stories that will hurt me, but I’m still hooked, even knowing that this story can probably only have a sad ending, there’s still a deep curiosity and some hope I suppose.

Honestly, what even is this story? I really enjoy certain parts of this story, but it doesn’t seem like the story was planned out well because the plot points are not being fleshed out as much as they should be. Also, since the story is written from Dokyung’s perspective, it’s frustrating because Dokyung doesn’t really know what’s going on half the time, so we are being left in the dark about a lot of things. If he’s confused, so are we. We aren’t even seeing everything from Dokyung either though like in the earlier plot line with his ex and bully. It’s kind of like the author is trying to shock us, but none of the information is shocking and therefore not coming off that way but rather like the author is just making things up on the fly, and so we are just left kind of confused with the wishy washy behavior of the characters and poorly conceived plot points. I don’t know. I’m probably being over dramatic.
I just watched the Anime, and I’ve had this in my Want To Read section for awhile, but I’m just wondering, you guys, how much will this story break me? Because the anime freaking messed with my emotions, and I’m not trying to get too fucked up. Is this like fruits basket level emotional trauma or full metal alchemist level?
Personally I dont think its as high as those two. I mean for now the only thing that upset me was Yuki's story. Throughout ep 9 of the anime I was like why did you do that Yuki??!!!!!
He was drunk and wasn’t thinking straight :(
Yeah but stilllll.... ╥﹏╥
Same!!! Wtf, Yuki!!!
Okay, now that I’ve read it, I realize I was making myself nervous over nothing -_-
