pluckaduck's manga / #Shoujo(42)

I can tell he's the ml, 1) after regaining her memories, she has no feelings of disgust or resentment, in fact, she was anticipative of him. if she had those said feelings, it would a lot harder for romance to develop. I don't think her character is unreasonable bc she's introverted and lonely, thus, emotionally weak to handsome men who help her. I mean, who isn't? it's totally natural to become so damn dependent on him, even if he's cold and neglectful, it's fine! you, your heart, and your body belong to him, so you don't get to have a sense of individualism and identity, or be allowed to feel angry! even right before her death, she was thinking of not damaging his reputation. fck ...fcking exasperating as hell how women are portrayed like that. bc her self-esteem is so damn low, she can't get mad at him or fight back... shes subconsciously always thinking about how to please him (ig that's why she didn't kick his balls when he was raping her). 2) apparently, he's was in love with her 3) apparently, the whole angsty drama was merely a big misunderstanding. I seriously hate redemption arcs. maybe cuz I'm petty, I think your source of misery should be repaid 2x over. but with this kind of softhearted mc, I bet it would only take ~6 ch for her to blush and feel shy towards him, and after the cleared up of the misunderstanding for her to fully accept him again, totally disregarding his previous coldness. 4) he didn't treat her so badly that he couldn't be forgiven. in our perspective, he did all the things a bad husband would do- rape, cheat, neglect, emotional deprivation- but he didn't cross the line, such as abusing her, or killing her. sigh, I really hate how authors draw the line there, and, in addition, he had loved her, so it makes the ml redeemable... but I don't care if you like her or not, I doubt there's a legitimate reason to treat her like shit! 4) mc is not totally faultless. she never stood up for herself (until the last moment, she had an act of rare courage), or confronted him regarding the rumors, jumped to conclusions... she's pathetic tbh. but the reason we despise the ml so much is that we read this from her perspective. ig the author wanted to make both characters at fault so the ml isn't completely undeserving for the mc.

well, this is a twist of the cliche otome game manga. I'm very glad mc is self-aware that viewing their feelings as nothing but a game is scummy.

i already read this three times. this is probably one of my favorite shoujo manga! it's so pure and wholesome! mc is an adorably dense, pure, and strong gal and ml is a tsundere who had an unrequited love for mc for a long time. lol this dynamic is just too good...!

this kind of innocent adorable energetic girl is who I wished to be... anyway, wished there was no love triangle.

extra half a star for mc. i want a sister like her. ml is tsundere, and kinda dense. he's relatively more fleshed out than the other brothers

read this on webcomics. despised it. dropped it. i felt that mc was dumb and overstepped her boundaries on the grounds of helping the ml (when she barged into ml's office, declaring that ml's fiancee is cheating on him), but realistically, she could get in big trouble for that. like, I'm sure there were other ways she could've helped him, such as writing an anonymous letter, urging him to investigate. of course, if she did do that, she wouldn't be exposed to any danger, thus it would not lead to her cohabitation with the ml.

I read it somewhere else and looking back on it, I must have had the tolerance of a god to continue this mess of a manhua. just here to give my rating.

i typically don't like the popular girl x loner boy dynamic cuz it's just a wish-fulfillment story, but this is just adorable.
