Big sejin reminded me of Caleb from the hit otome game LaDs. They both have the endearingly annoying older brother vibes
ugh i hate whenever i put emojis the rest of the text just disappear ( ̄∇ ̄")
anyways. i was gonna say I NOTICED THAT TOO!! not only their vibe/personality, even their visual looks similar!! and their height!! they're only 1cm different hahahah (≧∀≦)
even when caleb only appeared in chapter 4 last year, i already decided i'm gonna be a caleb girlie hahahah.
i immediately put him into the list of "oh, i fall for these kinds of men again." LOL.
in the list: kuroo tetsurou, keun sejin, caleb, and skylar from The In-Between (a supernatural, bittersweet, romance movie).
they're all so similar and make me head over heels... ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
I believe this story has good potential but here's some things i still don't like:
1. Focuses too much on FL's romance. Like yea sure this is a romance manhwa but like at least utilizes the interesting action(?) system part more.... If we're gonna focuses on the cliche romance anyways, then what makes this manhwa different compared to the others. Which lead me to the next point...
2. Her being this so-called expert in romantasy manhwas but not realizing she's growing her own cliche ML??? Like yea she DOES realize what he could be BUT NEVER DWELL ON IT??? Like if she wants it in the first place, then slay keep hustling ig but she's being half assed in wanting to not make her own obsessive ML. Don't get me wrong, i like these cliches too but i would prefer if she didn't claim she's all-knowing. Like girlll be fr, there's no a way a romantasy fan won't be aware of what's been cooking when all ur actions are legit the same as those naive airhead FLs legit she's following the exact step-by-step....
3. The system is a joke. Author clearly uses it only as a plot device. Other stories also utilizes the shstem in the same way BUT it's just too obvious???
"Hey do this mission"
"Hey go to this location"
"Hey search this"
"Hey follow this guide so u can conveniently make that child grow more attached by you!"
And FL is so reliant and trusting on the system, like does she even do something? Other FLs in other stories who aren't aware of manhwa cliches or systems acted better than her.
4. I thought they would conveniently time skip so ML can grow while MC is stuck in the time warp thing and then magically they're the same age but apparently not. Well ML already has that weird quick age progression anyways but still. I could excuse it if there was a reason FL had to fetch the hero but nope. The reason i'm annoyed is because logically, ML would be the one to save their FL. Imagine reading a manhwa where instead of ML saving FL, it's a random side character u only know for a few minutes (because ML only met the detective in the temple). How can you even trust a random person with this important task. What if that person was incapable and let ur beloved die. So stupid and reckless istg.
Don't get me wrong. I'm being nitpicky because i genuinely believed in this story's potential. But imagine having high quality ingredients and tools but they're only being cooked for an instant noodle. It was so disappointing for me </3 i'll stay around to see if things will improve but i'll def not have high hopes anymore.
