he failed at running away
[collapse]For those who don't like the tropes where the MC swears they won't interact with the novel characters to change their fate but proceed to unintentionally interact with them.... I got bad news for you, although this one is pretty light and not very serious like those villainess manhwas lmao. This is a cute, lighthearted story with the occassional existential crisis in it so don't take anything too seriously. MC and ML talk anonymously so MC doesn't realize the other's true identity, and because of that humorous misunderstandings occur. From what I've read, MC is really likeable. He is nice and courteous but isn't a pushover, and is trying to do his best to live a normal, peaceful life away from the dog blood of the novel's plot. The character he transmigrates to was a villainous cannon fodder who gets pushed towards his own death, and so the first thing MC does is run away and stay in his own little bubble. However this makes him pretty socially isolated with no real sense of reality, and while he does talk to his coworkers, he doesn't make any deeper connections. But with his interactions with ML online, he begins to reach out and his monotonous life slowly changes for the better... For ML, he's pretty sheltered and internet illiterate. He is perceptive, genuine, and kind, but because of this he has many unwanted suitors and he doesn't know how to respond. In a way he is kind of naive because he doesn't understand people's ulterior motives and takes things very literal, but this doesn't make him dumb. He gets better though as MC teaches him about this stuff, and it's pretty endearing seeing him copy MC with his emojis. But overall he isn't very unique compared to other ML's I've read. Him being rich and handsome is a plus though.MC is basically like ML's counselor in the beginning and their interactions are pretty cute. There isn't too much drama between them, and they learn and grow together. But eventually, I kind of lost interest. This novel isn't bad by any means and I didn't hate anything, but I didn't particularly like anything enough to keep reading either. Maybe it's because I didn't get the nuances from the MTL, or maybe it just isn't for me. The build up between them is slow and sweet, but I was really only fond of MC. I still read to see if this might grow on me, but nothing else stood out to me unfortunately. This novel is fluffy and lighthearted without too much drama, and I'm sure many people will enjoy it. I loved reading about MC and how he lived his daily life. Maybe I'll pick this up again, but for now I'll just put this on hold and read other novels. Those who MTL won't have too much trouble understanding it.Edit: I accidentally rated this... so I'm just gonna give this 4 stars
