The plot has potential. But the inflexibility of the FL, knowing that the storyline has shown change from the initial plot is just so annoying I'm sorry I can't stand it.
I'm the type of reader that doesn't want the FL to just 'depend' on the ML when it comes to the romance. Take the initiative too, miss ma'am. You like the man, get the man. They're not even together & the ML hasn't even expressed if he has 'feelings' for the princess.
Despite Raphel's cuteness, I remember dropping this precisely because of the frustration I received from ML's not taking the leap to fully express himself.
This is not a way to defend the top. The reason why a lot of people cannot comprehend the shift in the top's attitude is because his mental disorder was revealed very late in the manhwa and there is little explanation to it. It could also be that the readers don't know a lot about the disorder. But, if you research more about it, those actions will make sense and as to why he acts like that, ESPECIALLY, for someone who has not had therapy for a long time and just constant medication (I' not even sure about this one).
I REALLY HOPED that he would have at least restarted his therapy sessions before going into the relationship with Inseob, no matter how many years that took; and it would have been better to show that journey. People who have mental health disorders cannot be cured, they just get better (but it's still there), they will be in rehabilitation, forever.
i might have missed it. what was the disorder?
Antisocial Personality Disorder
I don't think it was reveal too late?? It's not actually difficult to figure what that he's not normal... I mean if people can understand killing stalking and I couldn't understand why people has problem with the fact that this dude is def not normal
It was revealed in Chapter 90, and this manhwa currently has 107 chapters. There is already 89 chapters beforehand where readers could make their own assumptions without a clear explanation, before we were told that it is a disorder.
So readers already settled in to the fact the 'he is not normal' or 'he is crazy' BUT it's not EXACTLY that 'he has a disorder'. If you search directly on google, what ASPD is, the clear phrase "disregards the rights and well-being of others" as a clinical description shows up. And it says a lot about the disorder.
All I'm saying is, had this fact been disseminated earlier in the manhwa, it would have dramatically shifted the lens through which readers interpreted his actions. Instead of perceiving him as just "unhinged" or "brutal" in a general, vague sense, readers would have been invited to analyze his behavior through a psychological and clinical framework. The tension wouldn't just come from WHAT he was doing, but from the reality of WHY he was doing it—and how detached he truly was from concepts like empathy, remorse, or moral responsibility.

Honestly tho... I doubt this. Because people nowadays in this site take things in writing too literally, without having the ability to consider things retrospectively let alone trying to analyze the character beyond superficial definition. But maybe you're right too.
I love gut wrenching heart shattering angst. SO PLEASE Hyeoseop, you better savor this heart break and avoid onaip. I JUST don't really want you to be hurt more when Andante will mourn or prepare the funeral for Ano. Just you know, process and don't meet with them yet until THEY'RE or ANDANTE is ready to tell YOU the story. Please, at least give that satisfaction. But you know, who even am I?
I'm trying real hard to be like, "I love men talking about feelings," but DAMN that is WAY MORE than just feelings that is ROMANCE. All I see is gay "I fell for you" GAY "*blank* never stops talking about you" GAY
The fact that Togame and Endo were previously Sakura's opponents speaks volumes beyond the universe. (￣y▽￣)╭ .....
Real & true
HE WAS PREPAREEDDD!! Oohhhh I love that. He was like, "Ain't no way I'm letting a mere experiment drive us apart"
All that and before we get to the begging, mc's just going to fold so quickly. Like make that alpha suffer. No empathy asshole.
sorry to spoil but there’s no begging in the raws, they just get together and that’s it yknow? it’s very frustrating and rushed
damn
Ugh. Damn it.
FUCK THIS SINGLE LIFEEEEE AAAAAAGGHHHHH
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA IKR LMFAO
