I don't usually write my thoughts after finishing stories, but because this novel got me hooked from the start to the end, I decided to logged in to my account.The novel is so good. It's very rare to find well-thought novels these days. Although Devil's Warmth is not the best of the bests, the emotions of the main characters are still well-conveyed which I very much liked. Kudos to the translator-nim as well.Since this is fiction, I have accepted the "impossibleness" of some plots since they are keypoints to the progression of the story. The ML is not that OP, I should say slightly...? But whether he's competent or not, as long as his heart is sincere, the FL would still love him because the FL has awesome personality -that whoever guy she ends up fall in love with is blessed.I've ignored this novel so many times before because of the synopsis. It didn't grab my attention and since I was looking for something to read, I decided to give it a try and I'm glad that I did.This is not a shallow-type novel. It's a worth-read type for me. It got me emotional, inspired, and also got me worried because at some point his life has become dark and he chose to live in it.The ML has a deep inferiority complex and this causes him to build an impenetrable wall but his well-built wall is no match to FL's deep love and pure sincerity.The progression of the story is kinda slow on the first half, but I think it's good because it gives the reader a chance to take a look --not just a quick peek-- on the lives of the main characters from when they were so young and as they gradually grow older. It's nice that the author didn't just write a few chapters of their younger years and then suddenly jumped up to when they're already young adults. And so, I didn't feel deprived.There are many characters that I like in this story even though they don't come out so often as the story progresses. Two of those are the nth time entrance exam repeater friend of the ML and the mother of the FL. These two give weights and colors to the story.Others may have hated the FL's mother but she's just thinking of her precious daughter's welfare. She's not a perfect mother but she's far better than all the mothers in the story.Although, I don't like transmigiration/reincarnation genre that much because it gives the character a low-key supernatural power although they are not in a magical/fantasy world. But at least on this one, the FL has no clear- as-water memories of her past. It's like she just got some hints from the bits and pieces she remembered and she wrote it down the paper when she was young. And that's it. (And it's hard to find novels that still clings to morality these days.) In conclusion, this is a GOOD novel.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 👌
