This is the second time I'm reading the novel and it's still as gut-wrenching as ever. Super thank you to Cookie for picking up this novel after months and months of begging on the forum. Thank you for making the translation so smooth that my one brain cell could actually pick up ❤️----------I'm not going to talk about the characters whether they are good or bad because this novel isn't about "best ML" and "best FL" award.In a way, you can think of the characters as a bunch of anti-heroes meshed together. The characters here aren't heroic characters who are the epitome of goodness and love. Instead, the characters are the type of people you would meet in the street, the kind you hear in the news or social media or the maybe the type of people that looks at you when you look at the mirror.So no, there are no nice characters in here. Just characters with reasons.This so far my most recommendable korean novel because in the sea of villainess-centric novels here in NU, this novel was able to capture the essence of regret in a villainess story that I've been so desperate to find.The way this was written was also something I definitely love. The ending.The possibilities.The pain that lingers.And you know what, I'm a firm believer that a really memorable story leaves a little bit of itself in us after we read them.----------I've read this story (in a crude MTL copy) way before Everything Everywhere All At Once was released but I think this quote perfectly sums up two characters in the story.
