The comment section on novelupdates is kinda "sigh uffffff"
User
Akachi86 says for example :
"Novel is not great. MC's family is sh*t. They switch from telling themselves she just misunderstood them to blaming eachother, to blaming her for not understanding how much they loved her. The adopted sister is a sh*tty person but the only one with enough guts to understand she's sh*tty.
Her family eventually learns of her whereabouts. What do they do? Her brothers scold her when they meet and blame her departure on the situation with the sister. They need to be reminded by an outside party to let Lilia speak her mind and they're shocked when she does and it turns out they were the reason she ran away.
She did it to be happy.
This finally hits them like a brick and it makes them wallow in self-pity. Mother (singer) goes into seclusion sister (artist) is jealous MC is making it big as an artist (and alchemist, and adventurer, and mage), brother is reminded by his wife not to treat his own kids like he did MC. They also take their anger out on the adopted sister, despite the fact what she did was inconsequential compared to the 15 years of neglect MC suffered.
There's also the main plot where MC finds happiness in life, but honestly the tidbits about her family are more interesting."
And i others say its boring like

One of those stories where author has a dumb, but sorta believable reason for MC to run away.
Only for the regret of MC's family to basically only exist in the first 30 chapters after which the white lotus leads them to blaming everyone, but her.
Worst part is
Spoiler
The revenge on the family is weak and even worse the white lotus gets helped by MC just because she was the reason MC left her family. Like I get being thankful for that, but she almost got you killed and lied about it.
Gonna be honest though MC's story is not even good either there's only so many "oh look MC did something again" that you can read before you feel like Author doesn't get we know MC is a genius.
Mainly skimmed MC's parts in the middle and never felt I missed anything
So yeah now kinda bummed about this story
thank you sm for giving out this spoiler, i wouldn't want to waste more time on this bs tbh
Is this it?
The miscommunication/ side piece / emotional constipation / "he dont wanna talk about his complicated feelings" arc?
If so imma be back when that sht Show is over just the thought about ml having a side piece at all is making me hate this
Ok that was a dumbass misunderstanding/ quasi chase arc like what???
I just know they had to finish it asap thats why anyway
I could enjoy the story after that kiss with the chick cause ???
What your coworkers kisses you Infront off your crush
and u dont get mad at her
and when u talk to your crush afterwards u go
"were you jealous earlier?"
Dude even if i was in love with you I'd be so pissed id drop u
- mavi !!! They are acting together! Its just work!!!
Yeah no time and place, u dont see a butcher just chopping up flesh on the streets
OBVIOUS MANDATORY YAOI MISCOMMUNICATION/ MISUNDERSTANDING PLOT POINT!!!
(Im just playing i love that drama lmao)
The story us moving so fast it kinda off putting like the brother for example goes from
Meeting -> suspicion -> getting worn down by her cuteness -> using his power it goes rampage -> she calms it down -> realising his mistake -> rationalising his own complicated feelings -> accepting her as his sister and they hug and make up
All in chapters 10 - 15
5 chapters
other stories take like a whole season to build interpersonal relationships between the characters but here it reminds me how i played doll and between my ken doll and braz doll meeting for the first time and wedding & first kid not even 10 minutes went by
From zero to 100 real fast
I
I kinda get that but I also like this better than the ones where the distrust lasts too long to where they're mean to the MC and then that meanness just gets forgiven super easily.
Plus it was like the brother was convincing himself he needed to be suspicious rather than actually being suspicious hahaha which makes sense why he was so easily convinced
YESSS. I was also relieved!! Also with the fact that she’s gaining confidence in the trust and love her family have for her easily. Other manwhas take ages till they accept the fact that they’re actually loved. Its overused and boring so everything happening quickly is refreshing
Idk I enjoyed that it got cleared up fast. Now I can spend my time enjoying the simplicity and cuteness of the story without worrying about how they don’t trust her or wtv
