Im sad..

But because I had difficulty reading this- it saved me to be emotionally infuriated..

Nonetheless it still made me cry throughout the end.. Short story like this that had moral lesson really change my perception in love.

In fact it doesn't matter if your rejected or not, what is important is, your able to express your feelings.. Otherwise, , one day you might regret that you've missed an opportunity that you might've not even know just for being too coward. So speak up. Don't let ego get on you. Confess your... more>> true thoughts and emotions. <<less

It felt like I was reading a true-to-life story written in the diary of an infatuated, broken-hearted r*pist. It was saddening as we all know that no matter the intention and no matter the remorse and regret the perpetrator felt, once the deed was done, the trauma and despair that the victim has will never be washed away. Time heals all wounds, but what if it can't?

I feel like, the ML must have felt something for the MC from the start and that made him more miserable when the MC... more>> r*ped him then tried to act indifferent when they talked again. I kind of expected the ending because I can't see them being together. I don't think that the abused will truly and genuinely be happy with their abuser if ever they end up together. <<less

Just what the other review said, the characters had their flaws. Being teenagers, we made mistakes and growing up we've learned that it was wrong. Same as the characters here. And same us some of us they regretted it way too late.

The story is good for me though some may drop it because of the first few chapters but there's a reason why those are written.

One thing I can say after reading this short novel is that:

... more>> Karma is a bit*h and so is Regret.

So while you have the time don't make decisions you'll regret for the rest of your life. <<less

30 minutes of reading my goodness my heart is beating too hard. This story is good but short and because it's short it's interesting.

I feel sad for both MC & ML. The lack of courage and ignorance is the cause of the downfall of the MC & ML.

ML is too cowardly and MC is too much introverted. After losing what you love you understand the value of it but it's too then.

If just If MC tried to reach out to ML about his feelings then the results would have been... more>> different.

ML if ML tried to apologize for the things he did and told his feelings the outcome would be something good perhaps.

In the end, it's their story.

Thank you author for this. 🙂 <<less

The message given by the novel at the end was really good, and probably something that would stick with me for some time. I knew what I was in for, but I still cried a lot. The only good thing in MC was his regret, and a regret so strong that he knew it could never be mended and hence could not even if tried.

I read this long ago but it stayed with me. I can't remember the last time I sobbed so hard after reading a story. This one hit me in the gut and ripped everything out. If you're looking for something to tear you up inside... this might be it.

Even though this story is not the best I've ever read, but I also don't have any reason to not rate it 5 stars. This story is not quite dark. This is the inner monologue of the MC who is regretting his bad deeds. This is realistic. Not quite tragedy except for the ending. I would rate 3/5 for character development. I don't see much on the perspective of the other MC. I can't really figure him out. There isn't much description of him. The protagonist is so-so, lack of... more>> personality. Overall, it's an okay read. I did enjoyed it. If you are curious, why don't you try to read. <<less

This novel felt very realistic, I was even doubting whether this was fictional or not. My heart aches for these two, life was not easy on them. A tiny bit part of me was hoping for them to mend everything and yk, love eachother for a lifetime, however, another part of me is thinking that the MC deserved the pain that was bestowed upon him. I feel really upset for ML, he deserved better.

I finished it within a few minutes, defo worth the read! I didn’t really cry but hell,... more>> my heart was breaking inside. <<less

All I felt while reading this novel was rage. WTS????? The MC is so amazing? It is like he doesn't have a brain to think about the actions and his behavior is right or wrong? There are things that should not be done no matter what the situation is or whether someone instigated you or not and obviously r*pe is one of them.

Even though I understand the misunderstanding is also partially caused by the ML (class rep) because tbh I also don't really understand him myself, all I can say... more>> to the MC is 'serve you right'. He deserves to bear all the regret from his actions. Saying sorry and feeling regret can't reverse time and remove the pain felt by the other. <<less

When I started it, despite seeing the tragedy tag, I didn't thought that this story would hurt me so much. The way it was written made me want to keep on reading without stopping, even though I fancy fantasy settings more than real life settings. I did cry throughout this story, too sad, but also worth reading.

Spoiler

The main characters did stopped in time and could never move on, as others reviews have stated. It was really sad that the regret, misunderstandings and their inability to express their real feelings led them to such tragic ending.

What can I say.... I read the novel in one sweep. I could not put it down! It was just sad how misunderstandings and not expressing what you feel can lead to such an outcome. The author did a great job portraying that. Not telling the people that you really care about your feelings, can cause regret later down the road, and sometimes it may be too late, and you can only live with that memory. It was deep. Hesitation and not expressing our feelings may lead to a critical... more>> outcome. My eyes blurred so much, I would have wished there was a better ending but sometimes, that doesn't happen and reality is what it is. I do hope that from that experience the MC can live his life. They were both frozen in time and could never really move forward....... This was definitely an impactful novel!! Thank you for the translation! <<less

Heartbreaking.

It's a hard read but it's a good story. If you need a cry though, 100/10 recommend.

MC and ML both hurt because of each other and miss each other's love in life. Neither has the courage to speak, neither can move past the moment their heart stuck on the other.

Also, why is the "age regression" tag on this story?

Rating: 5/5: Absolutely heartbreaking, you will bawl your eyes out.

In all honesty, the POV that the MC tells this story from, shows you that the timeline and flow of the plot for what it is and what his though process behind all the actions and sequence of events were.

At the end, you can’t help feeling satisfied even though your heart has been destroyed.

This story is a MUST READ. The way it describe the characters make you hooked to the story itself. I can really feel the melancholy of the MC. Also it has a tragedy tag so run while you still can.

I love how the story didn't romanticize anything. The MC got his punishment. Regretting for a lifetime (I hope). I just wished that the ML got everything he deserve, but that's not the trajectory so... That's what we get.

But!!! This is recommended for all of you who like to read tragedy. The story is good and quiet enjoyable.

It’s a really beautiful novel that you should check out. I wish it turned out a bit differently, but the ending is more realistic. Usually the main character is the one that’s being targeted, but this time we get to see the story from the perpetrator’s point of view. It was enjoying to read.
