Heartaches and anger what I felt in the beginnings. And then Calm when MC finally alone in peace. And Sweetness when he finally meet ML.

But also feeling wanting to explode when annoying people made an appearance as if they had a right!!!

But of course I LOVE how MC handle the situations because he's truly has the freedom to do it.

Truly Sweet and Super nice till the end! Sooo happy!!!

Cute short story about cutting out the toxic things in your life, moving on, and focusing on your own self and people who will see you for who you are (the villagers).

As the saying goes, gold will always shine.

Very cute story. There's some angst (well, tbh, a good amount of angst) but it feels like the MC is healing. The romance is very subtle and warm. It's not out there, it's not spoken about a lot, but it can be read between the lines.

It's clear that the MC is suffering from depression. Even till the end, the haze doesn't go away. I can only say that he's healing, and just like any other mental illness, it will take time. I'm glad the ML is with him.

There's not a... more>> lot of melodrama, the story is too short for that. That's also the reason it doesn't feel frustrating. It's not a revenge story. It's just a story about the MC slowly getting out of the shadows of his past. ML is a catalyst, but the MC had been doing fine by himself tbh. Idk what would've happened if the ML hadn't been there, but I have this feeling that the MC would've found a way to survive and grow.

The best thing about this story is the MC himself. He's strong, he's rational. He doesn't indulge in self pity. He does everything he can to be happy, and he's also very kind. Life has given him so many lemons and he decided to grow lemon trees in his garden to force those lemons to provide him (and others) shade. Weird metaphor, I know, but works for him. He somehow makes something good out of the situation. He's not weak.

Translation is fine. There are typos, but it's still a lot better than unedited MTL. <<less

I’m going to put the translators as my fav now. I love all their works and can’t wait for their next translation.

This is a nice quick drama with slight face-slapping and how to overcome your depressions

Love it, haha

This is quite a short strory, but oh man, even after the happy ending, it left me depressed after the first chapters

It's cute, and like most short stories, it's not as detailed as a novel, but the ambiguity of some moments makes it even more cute (atleast for me)

This story is sweet yet leaves a slight bitter feeling at the end. I'm happy that the protagonist was able to find peace with someone that truly loves him. I did want the perspective of those who wronged him and how their life fell apart, but I understand why the author didn't include it, it may be a way to show that the MC has truly moved on and wants nothing to do with them.

I do wish it was longer😩
