I’m kind of confused about the truth behind Gusam, that other guy, the evil detective etc. Some faces just confused me about who is who, so whodid what exactly?
Same I got confused at times too. But over all I really liked the story
Sorry it's vague but maybe it rings a bell for someone.
Not sure if it was MLM, WLW or a straight story but I remember three points
1. the main character was a transfer and apparently was kind of tired of trying to make new friends everytime, so they just kept their social interactions superficial
2. I think that also involved them always smiling or something (i think in my memory they were also portrayed as quite the pretty face, but I'm not sure)
3. And unless I mixed things up I think the romantic lead was bothered by that at the beginning. Maybe even called it a "fake smile" or something.
What stuck with me was mostly just this plot trope: the protagonist having been an outcast repeatedly due to repeated transfers and thus having given up on meaningful friendships
Even if this is a trope in several stories, maybe reading similar stories like the one I remember might be nice, too. So thanks in advance if anybody can think of one.
It does look familiar. Thanks!
(Kind of a cinderella plot I think?)
Only remember the vague storyline:
FL breaks out from some noble's home with I believe two children, where the head of the house is abusive (particularly abusing the two children for their magical abilities I believe). I don't remember FL's connection. Maybe she was a maid or family, idk.
On the run eventually one of the kids gets sick, so they need to settle down in a town and FL needs to find work to cover the costs, gets scammed by AH doctors etc., until she by chance gets help from another noble(definitely higher status than the previous noble)'s doctor and also runs into that dude at her future work place, which was sth. about examining gem stones I believe. So something magic related. It was pretty obvious that that noble was interested in her (maybe he even tried to recruit her?) but I don't remember how the story continued after that.
I also can't remember if this was some kind of regression or transmigration story or not.
Ngl, I'm a little disappointed how they handled the temporary fall-out.
Like really, because Suou isn't ready to immediately jump from barely coming to terms with his feelings to s*x? Come-on not everyone is immediately under the sheets when developing a romantic relationship. I definitely wouldn't be. Not even with my crush whom I'd openly pursue for a relationship. There are other ways to prove your love besides that.
I'm a huge fan of the angst and was totally on Ryou's side until that point, but I really found it icky that he tried to pressure and guilt-trip him into something like that. If the author wanted to express that Suou was still not ready to open up, and was in fact still running away, they could have used other means to convey that, cuz it didn't get across to me like that at all, just like Ryou didn't give Suou any tim to process things, then assumed things and unfairly pressured him. Also made it seem like in the end their first time wasn't happening due to steaming chemistry and mutually feeling in the mood but only because they had to do it to prove a point.
You're so right!
