In my previous comment, I told that the guy must've liked Kiyoko but she was too concerned with others and what they thought that she totally would've missed his signals. And I was right ! She's doing it again here. She's just too concerned with what others think (including Mikoto) that she doesn't even stop to think about her own feelings. Now she's just too selfless to the point that it's hurting people who care about her. Hope she learns to put herself first and think about what she wants instead of just taking care of others.
Putting on a a mask and hiding your real self is one thing but I don't like that he hurt himself and others because of that. The truth is, he deserved his current situation. It's the consequence of his own actions. Plus I don't like him. I wish the author would just end this if they don't have anything new for the main couple instead of making a whole arc for an unlikeable character.
Why do these types of manga always have an annoying bro-con or sis-con? Like get a life ! They bully others because of their selfish reasons and their obsession with their "sibling" is always so creepy.
I don't know but this so bad that it's kind of good. It's like you realize that this is going to be bad anyway so you're in it for the ride.

I think that new guy used to like Kiyoko but gave up after seeing that she was too occupied with taking care of others. That's why he's warning Mikoto. I can understand why she's that way. I was the same too. She finds purpose when she takes care of others and likes feeling needed by other people. But the problem is that she'll never be satisfied if she's by herself or her partner and she'll never depend on anyone else. She needs more people to take care of to feel like her existence is important. She doesn't feel like her other traits are attractive or loveable. I've been that person and trust me, that's the most loneliest thing you can experience. That's why even when Kiyoko dated tall guys, it didn't work. Like the saying goes "If you can't love yourself, how can you love someone else?". I think she'll have to come to a huge realisation if she truly wants to date Mikoto.
I'm getting sick of the little brother (second prince). He still views everything as part of a game even though he's living in it. He's talking shit about someone he hasn't even met and keeps pushing his brother like a puppet in his play. He's such a brat and yet he claims Lily to be the immature one. I hate him !
Hey you stupid woman, delulu is not the solulu ! I mean from where did they get the idea that they'll be welcomed into their family?! Someone please smack some sense into them, this is getting unbearable to watch.
The writer is absolutely right about bohyung being the cheat key to the drama. I've always fallen for the second male lead more than the male lead. I don't know why but they're sometimes more charming and interesting to watch. Bohyung is triggering my habit of rooting for the second male lead
I don't know why the author suddenly wanted to give Jinseol (the jerk actress) a redemption arc. Like she is unstable, moody and impulsive. Even now, just because people are complaining about working with her bad attitude, she wanted to make their lives a living hell. But suddenly after a few minutes, she's turning a new leaf? If she was serious about acting, she should've treated the child actors better, not disrupt the filming environment, not harass innocent actors and treated people with more respect. It just feels so disconnected to see her being a Villain in one panel and suddenly a determined woman in the next panel. Atleast give her one more chapter or something so she realizes her mistakes and has proper character growth. The sudden change in her personality just feels random.
I get why Leniel is worried. Giselle is inherently nosy and gets involved in things because she cares about people. But she's not cautious and always puts herself in danger. Leniel who's also naturally possessive, can't help but lock her in his mansion since she tends to run into chaos. However I understand Giselle as well. Being locked inside without having the freedom to go outside can be suffocating. It's not a nice feeling that you're basically a prisoner caught by a yandere man. So I just want them to find a middle ground.
Even though I wanted to drop this a few chapters back, I kept reading it hoping that her biological family would realize that they're pressuring a small child who's still recovering from her past and present trauma. I was waiting for them to regret for pushing her and realize that they're making her feel unsafe with their selfish wish of wanting her back while that shitty queen was still in the Palace. But no! Every chapter is them forcing her to come back while shushu is not able to refuse them while she trembles in fear. Is her biological family dumb or are they just pretending not to notice that she's uncomfortable ? I'm finally dropping this, maybe I'll pick it up when it's completed but knowing the ending I'm not sure I'll enjoy the ending either.
That gay uncle gets on my nerves. Even though he is gay himself, he just can't admit that he's just drowning in self pity while others are leading happy lives. His words that he told to "protect" children ended up hurting Hiro instead. His self hatred is now hurting innocent people. He can't accept that he's jealous of Hiro's parents. There are many people in real life like him who don't put effort in finding happiness and want to drag others down because of jealousy.
I get that the author wants to continue the story but that doesn't mean that the asshole jerk needs a redemption arc. This is going to be that cliche of the immature jerk side character who is full of self pity because he had a bad experience. So he'll just hurt everyone around him and blame everyone else for it. Then he'll meet his true love and magically become a good person. I've had enough of this storyline, the author can just end the story but they decided to drag it out by using the worst side character
Personal opinion here: I loved this story in the beginning and though I still like it, it just feels too dragged on now. I still love the characters and the story but now I sort of want the ending because eveytime when it seems like it's going to end, the author introduces another Villain and another new character. So now I'm confused with the story. It's starting to get muddy and I wish it was more cleaner. This was my comfort read but now I have to use my brain power to understand the story.
I'm already spoiled about the ending but I still hate the biological family. I know the author wants us to like them since they had their own circumstances in shushu's first life, but I seriously hate them at this point. They are just selfish and act like Villains. They don't care about her and only think about wanting her back. She's practically scared right now and they're just making it worse. Since I already know what happens with shushu and her biological family, I'm just gonna drop this. The recent chapters are just making me angry. I thought I'll forgive them if they repent but nope! They're not repenting and just making shushu's life more difficult while thinking they're the good family and the duke family are the Villains. Yeah I can't deal with selfish people.
I get the Uke has some sort of trauma which he is coping through playing around but I'm getting tired of how the author is going about solving it. The uke just goes back and forth between being a playboy and an innocent maiden, it's like he's two different people. And you can't solve everything by sleeping around. I thought the seme would help him heal but he's also reckless and is almost love bombing him. The whole thing feels messy. I'm okay with this if the story is supposed to be dark and messy but the author is showing it as cute and sweet which it isn't.
I get that she felt isolated from her peers because she had an abnormal upbringing. But now she's just projecting her insecurities and jealousy onto the chief and Ho became they seemed happy even when they're having an "abnormal" relationship. She just gave into her own insecurities while they're facing it head on. So them being together reminds her that she's the problem. I don't get why an immature adult child is butting into a grown man's relationship. He isn't even related to her, he's only a village chief who helped her out. He's almost 40, why does she care? Isn't she one of those people who's "giving him a hard time in a small village"? The author gave such a bad explanation for her meddling that I had to reread the chapter to make it make sense.
Again, they're treating her like an object. Is she some kind of doll who has to do everything they want ? Why are they treating the duke family like the abuser when they actually gave her a home to feel safe? The biological father (emperor) doesn't do anything about making the Palace safe for her, he's just so weak that he can't even go against the woman who killed his wife and hid his youngest daughter. But he treats the family who saved her like a criminal and wants her back to live in a toxic place where she might get abused again? The Prince is also acting like a brat and treating her like his possession. He's not even trying to understand her. I don't care about the circumstances or the past but her biological family is just red flags currently and I just want her to live her life safely with the duke.
I actually like this. Everything makes sense. All the characters have depth and great back stories that feels realistic in the story. The hints of romance suits the story and I like a MC who's pessimistic and learning the joy of living slowly. Nothing is overdone or cheesy. This story definitely needs a higher rating.
