I'm at chapter 18, so I'm going to start that I'm a fan of Grumpy crabs' novel Please Confess to me, I really really love that novel, how they wrote it esp. How the character development. This novel also strives to be like that, but fails in my opinion.Sure it's cute, and has many potentials I just hoped that the author developed their characters more instead of turning them into matinee idols that is too typical in school web novel setting. They already have a great premise: the ML having a stutter due to ptsd and fML with a likable personality. I'm at thier middle school phase, and frankly I'm getting bored, it seemed to me that both MCs are acting ooc. At one point I felt like the fMC is getting on my nerves and is seemingly a white lotus, the ML as well is showing typical domineering, I hated this. Also there are too many misunderstanding, isn't one lifetime enough that? FMC in this tl is supposed to have already experienced one lifetime, and have several achievements of her own as she was raised to take over her family business but this is downplayed by the author they made her act like your typical teen, sure a sentence or phrase gets thrown to the reader that she wasn't like this at all when she was young but still her actions were very immature unlikely that of a woman tested and tempered with time, she's too passive and concerned about her image. The author made her prone to misunderstand the ML, idk maybe for comedic purposes? She never strove to get to know the ML better imo. I was dissatisfied, that the fMC never got straight to the point of her objective. I can't help but compare her to the fMC of PCTM. I felt disappointed that both characters are falling into the CN trope of school life matinee romance drama: good looking poor boy turned domineering 8 pack abs PEERLESS CEO and oh my goddess goody two shoes alabaster skinned who can do no wrong rich girl.I know that this is a second chance novel with the premise that the MC wants to make it up for ML, this novel could've been more. Still I will read this to the end, I am still hoping that the writing will go smoothly from here on out, I was just so disappointed while reading the first few chapters that I couldn't help but comment.
