Chapter 44 really was what I needed. Saying out all yhe grievences. I was once at her position.. not getting any love from my siblings. They looked at me with hate and I was constantly mocked, and my mother was abusive due to her depression and my dad was hardly home. I remember i was a 12 year old girl who cried out "i want to die" but I was too afraid and I occasionally remember the pain and lonliness I felt back then living everyday. I'm sure penelope has went through much worse and for the fl to finally say everything that she wanted made me feel better.

In case you guys want to read the novel from where ch 12 is: https://lightnovelheaven.com/series/under-the-oak-tree/chapter-43-i-am-thirsty-for-you-1/
The novel is way more detailed and elaborate than the manhwa..

The storyline was ok... but not really impressive. There were holes and jumps that made me confused. Their character development could have been built up more. There was a lacking substance although i can see why the author tried to embed some elements of 'fear' to justify what the ml did. More could have been touched upon the world she came from earlier in the plot. A great ending would to be showing both of them in their deathbed like in Hana to Akuma..
Thats righttttt. That face of contempt is what i want to see!!
