The revenge story was satisfying, but chap 80 was like a 100 to 0 real quick for me cause I wanted more of the other candidates ending and more of the leads ending.
HOW DID THEY RUSH THE END LIKE THAT?
Nevertheless, it's a great ride but just warning you about the last chap.
This was a very fun read. I couldn't put it down when I first picked it up and looked forward to updates every week afterwards. I loved the art and think the underlying kind of message that it has about loving yourself and being willing to work on yourself for your loved ones and your well being was welcome.
I really hope they decide to give us a few extra chapters as an epilogue. While the ending did everything it needed to do and was cute I would have loved to see more of the couple outside of the show and see how all the other couples are doing afterwards.
Overall it was short, sweet and to the point. I do agree it had potential to be so much more but was already surprised with what I got. I didn't expect it to grip me just from the synopsis but it did and at the end of the day if I enjoy it and it keeps me engaged that's a good webtoon in my book. It's a fun read and now that it's finished you could blow right through reading it in no time. I'd honestly recommend from the art and amount of times it made me laugh out loud alone.
I was always at the edge of my seat waiting for the moment of climax, and it never came.
Spoiler ahead
Ended suddenly, the main couple just had a few moments in the last chapters and that's all.
It gives me the same dopamine I get from watching terrible reality television shows. Except I am also given 2 people to root for, the protagonists! Usually in reality tv i find it hard to believe any of them, but that's not a problem in fiction. I am glad this scratches the same itch.
I may adjust my ranking as the series progresses.
This is very much a standard getting revenge after being cheated on kind of story on its surface, but there are enough glimpses of future character development to be intriguing. The art is beautiful, and the story is entertaining enough if you enjoy the genre.
I haven't fully decided how I feel about the pacing yet, but again, all the basics of story-telling are solid. The motives of the different characters are pretty clear, though it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone is on their best behavior. I do wish there was more relationship development with the new couple, but I'm not shocked since the entire premise is that they're doing all this because they can't move on. That said, there is enough foreshadowing that the whole revenge scheme is going to blow up in their faces, and I am looking forward to that. My final note is that the female lead is probably the most likable character, so if you don't like her, you probably won't like this story.
