Is it just me or is the story REALLY emphasize that Eden is always the "bad guy" is most situation when literally he isn't and it's just him being himself?

Even from the start, it honestly reads to me like this is a torture fantasy written by an idol sasaeng after their bias left the idol world for producing music.
Let's break stuff down from my pov;

1. Eden being labeled like an asshole bc he plans not to renew his idol contract in the past to pursue his actual interest, producing. Which is hella weird bc why are you so affected with a coworker choosing to better their life?? I get that it was an asshole move to bring it up in their anniversary Livestream but other than that, it's completely unwarranted for the system to force him back into the idol life when he CLEARLY doesn't want it and have been spending years building his music career??? AND THE "PENALTY" FOR DISAPPOINTING FANS AND LITERALLY JUST CURSING IS DEATH??? THAT'S FUCKING INSANE. NO FANS IS ENTITLED TO THEIR IDOL'S LIVES. NONE AND I STAND BY THAT FACT. ITS WEIRDDDD.

2. Eden is pretty blunt and some times rude with his words but I guarantee you that is completely normal and most of the time HE WASN'T EVEN RUDE. Like legitimately irl Korean culture & language is always a little aggressive-sounding and literally most asian countries do the same. I'm telling you the author wouldn't survive one day in my home country if they think speaking bluntly warrants the penalty. Also the group members in this story is portrayed hella unrealistically. They're wayyy too sensitive on wordings and stuff , they don't feel like how real people act and behave .

3. There's multiple times where Eden legitimately isn't in the wrong but the story portrayed him as the one at fault but I'll use our latest conflict as evidence. Eden is literally obligated to interact with that Ex-friend hajun is so jealous of, THEY'RE RECORDING A SHOW TGT. Eden can't NOT interact with him, that'll only make stuff worse . And even when Eden clearly make it known that the Ex-friend apologizes and he asked if hajun was okay, hajun immediately makes it known that he genuinely doesn't care anymore but then he turns around and lashes out on Eden Infront of their whole group? Mind you this isn't just a friend group, they're literally professionals working tgt . They're coworkers, it's so weird that hajun would do this kinda thing and js not communicate what's wrong to Eden, AND EDEN ALREADY TRIED ASKING AND STUFF, but for some reason everyone look at this and portrayed it like "oh Eden you should've told him he was a precious friend yada yada" BRO WHAT WHY IS IT ON EDEN TO COAX A GROWN ASS MAN WHO'S SULKING OUT OF NOWHERE???

there's more , really but you get what I mean, in every turn the story always portrays Eden as "problematic" when really it's just him being him. And I think that's genuinely INSANE bc there's literally artists irl who does literal crime but the one who's getting penalized is someone who js wanna change career and have a new start? Weird ...

Holy same face syndrome

Dropped at ch3 ,
Okay we start with a dragon loving FL who js love the stead keeping lifestyle, who was then summoned back home to her bitch ass family bc they were asked to send someone to be the wife(caretaker) of an old duke , fl having no spine and literally tied to the family and already sold without even a glimpse of the dowry going to her is then sent on her way to the dukedom, only to find out that the mf who sent the request for a wife lied bc the old duke already died and he's the one who is searching for a wife . Why did he lied? No solid case to be made here, he js likes to fk around with people who have no choice but obey his requests js bc he's of higher standing. Now this fkn poor girl literally came over and had to leave behind the only thing that gave her solace (the dragon job) for this damn liar. He literally could've just requested for her to be his wife without all that bullshit lying . Or even better, he could've just send in a request for her to work for him. But no, ofc in these stories the only way to get your plans moving is to unnecessarily tie someone into a "business" relationship with you and not actually respect their choice in the matter.
Ml act like he's a know it all who planned everything in advance but his plans are flawed and he genuinely irritates me. He's the type of ml you'd see in badly written Wattpad stories where he's bland, emotionless and selfish. Fl on the other hand is spineless, and frankly irritating to follow as a protagonist . Bad story, bad execution, even worse characters

Would she name drop her crush and basically savior and friend 's name when she knew damn well ryu min told her not to speak of him and his info.... IN A WORLD WHERE THEY CAN GET TARGETED AND MURDERED INSTANTLY WHEN IT COMES TO ABILITIES AND SHIT so FUCKING DUMB

Then you feel empty asf :(
Come back isagi I need more of this asap

And my previous rating for the whole thing was literally

"I wish they'd both just date each other (MC and Violet) and these stories be taking the long and complicated way to get their objective"

It's a story that's js a tiny bit complicated bc our MC isn't able to differentiate the love she feels towards her sister , unfamiliar on whether or not it's romantic love or familial love, but she never act on the love itself as romantic, crossing her sister's boundaries.
Now MC and mamiya's love are a quiet one, it's more so like a comfortable love that takes its pace and isn't aggressive, which is a rare kinda relationship in the romance genre.

The people who's freaking out in the comments are insane imo this story is so unproblematic that it's weird people are even fighting abt it.

Sure in terms of characterization and world building, it is a little flat because a lot of the lore are discussed very surface leveled, but it could also be because the main climax and twist of the story is yet to come.

Overall on ch.96, I'll give it a solid 7.5/10 , it's engaging and entertaining enough to be read fully but might reveal some plotholes when you read deeper. Would recommend tho!

Is there any romance/ harem I should look out for? There's none in the tagging but I wish tp confirm before starting this lol

I'm seeing wayy too many death flags and like doomed flags from the way these characters worded things bro.... I'm scared

But atp it's frustration.
dohu is not wrong.
Juheon been the one WHO HAVE NO FUCKING COMMUNICATION SKILLS, he doesn't tell anyone what he's feeling Abt decisions that's made and when said things happened, he'll talk shit to dohu like dohu's the one who forces him into stuff, when he's the fkn adult who can't speak up for himself.
He had a problem with dohu's past actions, tells dohu not to contact him and is shocked dohu indeed doesn't try to contact him before he blocked dohu.

Saw someone in the comments saying "oh it's juheon who's been giving his all trying his hardest to make sure their relationship stays afloat boohoohoo"
BITCH DID WE READ THE SAME DAMN STORY AT ALL??? since the start of this story, juheon have been carrying himself with 0 attachment to everyone. He's been saying shit like "no one can understand me but me" since fkn chapter 2/3 , and the only person who actually contributed to their damn relationship was dohu, dohu stayed with him trying his best to understand and accommodate juheon while juheon was processing through his issues and that's great! We love partnership! But the moment juheon finds an issue with dohu's actions, his first thing to do was one sidedly yell at dohu Abt how fcked up dohu is (literally bringing up things dohu only ever told him bc of dohu's own trauma btw) and he expected that after putting that shit on someone, dohu should be able to say his piece instantly and not even given like some time to process all that shit. Then he lashed out and told dohu not to contact him, so dohu doesn't, until when he does try, he was already blocked.
Then juheon just disappeared. Like kapoosh .YOU WERE GIVEN GRACE IN YOUR BEHAVIORS AND WERE COMFORTED WHILE GOING THROUGH YOUR TRAUMA BUT THE MOMENT SOMEONE ELSE'S TRAUMA AFFECTED THE WAY THEY BEHAVE YOU RUN AWAY ??? yea sorry I don't have the vision some of y'all is seeing of
"oml juheon never did anything wrong, why are people calling him an asshole?"

Girl he's a jackass.
Fuck ts dohu pls de-attach yourself from this man and go live life I feel like advising a friend who's in a toxic relationship to get out

No actual establishing of our characters and their backgrounds, just jumping over one meeting scene to the next , it's really is showing author just wanna see scenes and not actually a story

"father will make sure your brother is safe"
THE MOMENT BRO SAID HE CAN'T KILL HONG KNEW IMMEDIATELY
WHAT YHE HELL IS THIS ANGST.
UFKC WHAT IF THAT WAS MY LAST STRAW MY BABIESSSS

JUST FINISHED THE SECOND SEASON OF ANIME , where should I start reading to pick up from thereeee

I'm praying so bad for there to be no end game girl and no girl at all if not the classmate. Like GET SEO ARIN WEAK ASS OUT OF HEREEEE ,,,, I get that's she's realistically scared and fawning due to her circumstances but she genuinely irritates me with her meek damsel in distress architype the author got going for her.
Also legit the Ma ceo guy and his subordinate is so weirdddd like they're bad bad ppl even before the world went to shit and they constantly use the word "bitch" for women it's giving misogyny, as per usual with Korea ig

meh

loved the plot and how it's going, but EVERY SINGLE PERSON that he has actually functional interactions with outside of family is all women. like the hell, I'm happy for more female casts compared to male casts in action, but the taste it's leaving in my mouth is the exact shit i taste when i stumble upon harem actions and reverse harem stories. like, even one i thought was a guy, the guild leader ruina, boom actually a girl in disguise.
an suspiciously strong demon offering external help? women demon., like where's the male casts at bro... i genuinely feels like it's lacking

also the sigh of relief i let out when it's revealed that it's teacher x teacher romance and not a literal child chasing after an adult is insane

why everyone gotta be cold to haneul when she needed company most?? man yall pisses me of

???? you're HEALTHY AND IN GOOD SHAPE, why was that scene so clunky??? YOU yourself can make runes when it's fun and games but when actual fighting comes you're hella ass?? IT'S A HIGH PRESSURE TIME BUT YOU'RE HERE CONTEMPLATING WHETHER OR NOT YOU'LL BE A BROTHER FOR THE KID??? WHAT. i thought you said that you were strong??? why did you perform well in fights that isn't as reliant on you winning but when you're facing someone YOU'VE BEEN WARNED ABT BTW?? YOU'RE SO LOST AND SLOW???

i get that this is supposed to be an emotional scene and stuff but it genuinely infuriates me when a character WHO'S BEEN HIGHLY COMMENDABLE, reacts slowly and illogically when it's pretty easy to think how to act BECAUSE AGAIN, THEY WERE BOTH WARNED ABT SAM.

(i love the story guys, this is a genuine confusion)
