The story is a bit bland compared to other QT like "Everybody thinks I'm a good person", or "slag shou system" which are of similar rating. (or perfect destiny however the ratings changed). Although they weren't the best they all have their own charm like revenge, viniger, death, dogfood, ect. So at least try out an arc or two to see if it's to your taste and if you're easily influenced don't look at the reviews or even a decent story will taste bitter afterwards.
Now let's get to the review.
ML may come across as creepy cause there is little development twords the establishment of their relationship in the TWO arcs I've read.
[ML not into MC -> finds his eyes soul stirring-> turns possessive-> chases MC after rushed interaction.
- MC chill I think your just ace.
MC calls himself heartless a few times cause unlike most main characters of romance stories he is less emotion driven and doesn't feel his heat race in romantic scenes and feels calm when seeking revenge.
For the revenge part it's fine cause it isn't without reason and at least so far he didn't plan out r*pe scenes as revenge. Also you can love someone romantically or not without your heart beating or constant emotions swirling when you talk to them. He could be ace or just slow in the emotional department which is fine👍
- [Relationship In summary bland]
The MC and ML only have a love of a face value level. Not saying their only into each others looks but I'm saying that their emotions and love are told and not shown. Don't tell me he felt nervous. Show me how he feels nervous.
The lack of discription about how the characters feel make me not care about the situation their in.
Mc- bland (innocent on the outside, clever on the inside)
ML- (cliche of overbearing possessive president type)
I'm simply not invested in them. ML only has MC on the brain but doesn't express any real expressive thoughts or emotions twords MC. Seen this too much it's tiring.
Problem: I'm simply not invested in them. ML only has MC on the brain but doesn't express any real expressive thoughts or emotions twords MC. Seen this kinda internal dialogue too much it's tiring. MC... I love his shameless and blackbellied personality but that is all.
- The lack of characterization made the characters too bland. Readers don't care about the characters so why should they care about the story?
MC has an external goal/conflict from the beginning- survive the world so their soul doesn't dissapear.
Internal goal/conflict- so far I can only see one his "lack of emotions".
He brings it up a few times but I wish he expanded on it more cause this is the only thing MC ever thought about besides the external problems of the plot.
- Fluff? /Dogfood? - Forget it... Even if they skipped the development of romance straight to romantic feelings. Their is barley any sweet or interesting interactions between the characters. Again don't say they talked online once in a while. Show me the interactions! Clearly ML in that world grows more attached in that time frame but show the readers. Why do I care how he spoils you. Show me the care in his eyes, the environments reaction your the dogfood. Something. Talk! INTERACT! Internal stugles! More internal dialogue! Make me care about this story and characters.
Sorry the comment is messy.
