Brett is one of the most interesting characters I've ever read.
Sorry for the rant I'm about to do, and I know it's going to piss some people off. But I'm tired of ML's never taking accountability for their actions.
What's worse is he knows that what he says and does is unfair and hurts the MC's feelings but he doesn't ever try to make up for it or improve his behaviour. He knows he has a victim complex that he projects onto the MC and that he coerced him into a relationship and yet he hasn't apologized, taken accountability and continues to make excuses.
This entire relationship completely relies on the MC having no support system, being too nice, and a pushover. He overshares because he has no one outside of work that he can talk and complain to, outside of the ML. Coupled with the MC being constantly steamrolled and abused at work makes it so he can brush off the ML's crappy behaviour. If the MC had any sort of support system/friends, he and the ML wouldn't have moved an inch forward and he would still hate him (it's the proximity principle in effect).
Also before someone mentions the desserts, it is the least he can do considering he threatened him into this contract and continuously crosses lines and acts rude (tbh he's barely doing anything).
Their relationship is barely surface-level. I fell off my chair when the MC started having feelings because GIRL STAND UP. I'm tired of storylines having ppl fall in love just because physical intimacy is involved.
Anyway, that's my rant. Thank you for reading if you got this far. If anyone has spoilers about this story, please share them with me as I can't decide if I will drop this story or not.
oh honey... your brother is f-ing crazy. You are never going back to how you used to be ┗( T﹏T )┛
womp womp. keep it moving blondie, we don't have time for your sob story
YOU DIDN'T EVEN CLEAR HER NAME?!?!?!? These people are useless until the end ╥﹏╥ I hope a 10 yr drought hits that kingdom because wtf
Those who like this story and gacha/adventure games might enjoy 'Choose Your Heroes Carefully,' it's a slow burn, but the game aspect, as well as the world and characters, are great
So when you thought your little brother was mentally ill in your first life you;
- locked him up
- isolated him
- didn't give him the time of day/didn't interact with him
- pretended he didn't exist
But now that he's an esper, he's worthy?
This guy is an ass in every category
As someone who has a hard time cutting off their narcissistic father, this chapter hurt. It's tough to give up on wanting a loving parent, especially when you witness others receiving warmth and support from their dads and you're left wondering, "Why not me?"
╥﹏╥
I'm ngl I laughed at this chapter because what is this?
It may be just me, but it feels like any interesting or big problems or obstacles are resolved in two chapters, while the small, insignificant stuff lasts forever (most of the school issues seem irrelevant to the story).
For example, they constantly hint at the aunt and uncle being hostile but never directly address it and when an incident does occur it's solved almost instantaneously. (it feels dropped/forgotten and then picked up again at random times through the story)
In regards to the dad subplot, there hasn't been enough development up to this point, and then suddenly they have an argument and she blows up at him for one chapter. Only for them to not even follow up with anything other than him crying (like that was a huge emotional bomb dropped and we are just not going to acknowledge it??).
Going forward, my prediction is that they're going to gradually have him do things for her, to convince the audience that he's a 'good father', but it'll mostly be superficial stuff like helping her clean up (fix her hair, dab her mouth), or buying/winning her something. Additionally, the father will probably be hurt or nearly die, so the MC realizes that they really love and care about him (I call it forgiveness without the effort of redemption trope). There will be little to no communication until they are unable to avoid it (possibly when she cracks her mother's super-hard research and uses it publicly later).
I feel like a hater. However, there is just this feeling that the author keeps coming up with new ideas and subplots for the story, but forgets to include/maintain the existing subplots.
oh Maythan, forever being caught in the closet. (づ￣ ³￣)づ Also, Big shoutout to Jae for demonstrating that when it comes to annoying a sibling, younger siblings will stop at nothing!
Idk about y'all. But if someone invites me to dinner and then serves me ants on a log, we fighting.
Welp... I can tell this is going to drag out forever this was an opportunity to hint at the misunderstandings and make things less toxic, but I guess magical dick cures Anaphylaxis
1 in 3 chances to find a lover
1 in 3 chances to find a brother
Could be both, Could be one
You won't know until you're done
Does anyone else roll their eyes whenever an ML seems angry/surprised about an MC's mistreatment/being used like a tool while they do the exact same thing? Like???? You also treat him poorly and only use him for purification? Why are you shocked that others do the same?
