The Kind Older Sister Is No More Chapter 10 Discussion

I stumbled across the promotional webtoon for this novel and was so intrigued by it that I decided to read the novel version. What interests me about this novel is the characters. One of the reasons I tend to drop a webnovel after a couple of chapters is because I am not a fan of characters that are one-dimensional. When the villians of the novel of just characters with no morality whatsoever and when villainy is the "bad guys" only characteristic, it just doesn't make for an interesting story. This black and white categorization of characters can work quite well for revenge novels, but I feel like I've seen a trend of these types of stories lately. For this webnovel, I can already see some complexity in the characters and their motives, both in the ML and FL and the other characters, and it makes me excited to read more. Spoiler

I will say that I think at times the FL's family feels a little one-dimensional because all they care about is Riel, but, since I think their "favoritism" comes from Riel's sickness and their neglect of Irene has become so habitual from this desire to give Riel all the things they can because of the limitations she has, I'll give the story a little bit of a pass on this because truthfully it's more complex than some of the other stories I've read. Plus, I think Riel's sickness makes an interesting combination with this greed she has to take everything from her sister. It makes her a little more understandable than a villianess who is simply fighting for the ML or a simple greed character who wants to have everything. Her greed comes from somewhere and that makes her a lot more interesting than many other characters I've encountered.

I am not too much of a webnovel reader, but, in the last few weeks, I've been coming across more webtoons based on webnovels/promotional webtoons for webnovels so I have been exploring the world of webnovels. Since I haven't read much, I can't really compare the quality of this to other works, but I will say that this has set up a story that is quite interesting. I have really enjoyed what I've read so far, and I think that this novel has a lot of potential, so I would highly recommend giving this a try!
