As if their personal flaws aren't enough as conflict, they add an obnoxious follow up. Here I was thinking the high school scum was a foreshadowing, but no. We get a worse example of backstabbing btch. Our glasses holder doesn't communicate. Our glasses loving fool is too spineless. Our cool cousin can't even confront properly. And of course it's because the author liked this white haired "pitiful" character and hence gave him more spotlight to show off his insecure and scheming wretchedness coz unless he gets to pour out his "oh so dreadful ten years of unrequited love", the author would have made the story all about him and the main couple is just a distraction.

Coz look at how smooth their relationship suddenly becomes LMAO. Gosh I feel so bitter at how dragged out that was

1. Their shift in friendship to lovers is vague. Must be the suspension bridge working there. It's not just the "intimacy" but the lack of explicit romantic acknowledgement. So somehow the romance feels forced rather than "omg, they really are in love"
2. Family dynamics is so alienating. My mindset just doesn't click with something so indirect and cold. But it is giving "practical and realistic" with the way it imposes "self-actuality" in being a CEO or someone worth standing beside the other. It's just really cold. Esp with how the apologies came and went, relationship strained and cut off, and the ever consistent controlling attitude of the dad.
3. It just feels like a waste or a shame (can't find a word that weakens the negative connotation) that it relies heavily on reading between the lines and a few nuggets of gold to remind you that they're not just friends (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

Hurt me more than it should. I know apologizing itself is difficult, especially when it seems too late and I'd rather wallow in regret. But I also understand how deeply uncomfortable it is to receive an apology that I thought I was ready for until it happens.

I have mixed feelings with glossing over the process of "we had a deep talk". It feels "too easy", but also just right because it makes it their "father-and-son" moment (even if it's fiction). Besides it pulls me away from investing too much emotion lol.

However, I feel mostly glad they had that implied talk because (this is me projecting) the last time I received an apology, they didn't bother waiting on me to vent or reply. It was so one-sided and done in the most vicious self-centered way.

But i dont wanna hear "you were overconfident" from the person who messed up in the first place in thinking she could easily complete her mission and then "smoothly have a plan b" ~ idk.

Tho i understand the hubris of a 100% success rate, she just seems to be more arrogant here compared to how the author wrote the villain who actually had the "am i really overthinking it?" mindset which is honestly refreshing. She's the smartest villain in this series ngl. (It was a good thing to stack chapters lol or else i might be as annoyed as the other comments)

But also, yeah, I'm just waiting for her to get enough crystals (was it?) to finally get her hubby and child back (coz as far as I remember, that's her new goal, or maybe my memory is too fyzzy brcause of these very short yet stretched out chapter uploads)

The quality was falling in terms of art and consistency in story details. It attempts to tie the loose ends via a cyclical domino effect revelation, but maybe because they were rushed to meet a deadline or so, it wasn't executed well.

Caveat: they don't communicate well, hence their initial separation. However, when the mind takes over one's will to persist in love, it also takes love to give courage for the mind to open. Too philosophical? Lol, the story just does that to me and I love these two perfectly imperfect couple

moody_bish created a topic of Nakanai Aigan Dorei

The emotions were honestly intense. Suzune's past. The King's insanity. Kuro's speech. The overall state of the kingdom. It's just soooo tragic. And i thought it was better off ending it at 13 when theyre happy and off to wherever. I don't even want to go thru more of the King's insanity coz I expected him to actually be executed instead of hide away, like that's the most merciful "romantic tragedy". Like die together, yknow HAHAHA. Be twisted till your last breathe. But I dont have more energy to give to wait for that to happen on the next chaps (as it is on going) and ik more draining moments to be had for the next arc. It's better off stopping at 13 lmao.

But ngl, i enjoy the MC's direct and indirect way of fcking up the hierarchy coz whatever job level he's at, he's got the air and wits of a CEO (which is a little wasteful given how a mere change of intention can differentiate a puppet to a competent leader)

The age gap in its purest obvious form is killing me HAHAHA but gosh, it sounds like grooming with the way the elf doesnt fully explain what they did. The poor pure guy is going thru culture shocks one after the other.

moody_bish created a topic of Moscow's Dawn

He knows what he wants, no he doesn't. Someone is guiding him, he resists. Someone shackles him, he complies. The fck? It ruins the stubborness and wastes the frustration i felt towards his persistence over something when he goes on to fall back to basically losing everything after the ingenius "lets pretend i follow, but look at me actually fall off a cliff".

And the empty narrative about "whose body this is, who's in control" when it's just the physique that actually changed. Also if he even bothered to search his past self in the internet too. Or the fact that for someone who gives no fcks about other people's opinion, she gets a 180° fall and from who? From a classisist (?), traditional pianist who'd rather everyone plays like the composer and kills off any potential signature. Heck, the whole interaction was full of something and nothing at the same time. Big info was revealed but we've derailed from there. And she's just jumping from one boy to another as well, already cozy by romantic thoughts. Even Anastasia feels more convincing with her lack of interest towards romance.

Tldr, while he is indeed human. Complicated and self-contradicting...the pacing and direction is so messy that I don't feel like following his journey (despite my long rant and given how i care this much).
