FINALLY! After rummaging novelupdates and going through countless novels and dropping them eventually, I finally found something that might just hold my attention until the end.

It's still quite early and I haven't yet caught up with all the translated chapters BUT I felt like a person lost in the desert that finally found an oasis. This novel is right up to my tastes.

We have an ML who's like a robot - high IQ low EQ kind of person that lives a rigid life following a bunch of algorithms he ingrained... more>> in his head. As usual, the FL, hardworking and smart, is gearing up to be a character I will potentially root for. Anyways, for now I like where the story is headed and as I said, this is the kind of novel that fits my tastes almost perfectly. The translation is also done well. Another underrated novel I am gonna obsess over. <<less

Thank you, WordExcerpt for choosing this and translating. The blurb is a little vague and I just tried to read because I liked how @caramelaxel described it. Thanks to novel gods it didnt disppoint me. I love this Korean novel; I like how the story is unfolding. I like how ML and FL have both the strengths and weaknesses; ML like a robotic boss since he is genius in terms of computer decoding who also the strenght of our FL. However, our ML has mental problem/illness which happened to be... more>> his weakness. Our FL has this family realtionship weakness which her baggae intil now. That particular family relationship is what they connected most. The relationship is subtle. The yandere characteristic of the ML aint that suffocating. I like how FL is smart and how she is still modest. Everything is perfect. <<less

An intelligent and manipulative ML who uses all means to get the FL dependent on him. Plots breaking her away from her fiancé. There is great s*xual chemistry between the two leads and ML always trying to exploit her vulnerability.

• The way the story was described through programming content was awesome and cool
• The ML condition is pitiable how his childhood was spent and how he was trying to understand human emotions feelings based on sudden impulses leading to dominance towards FL but in the end he developed his character because he cared for FL and their relationship
• FL didn't have a good childhood she saw her father cheating on her mother and witnessed an intimate scene between her father and his mistress at such young age that she was afraid of trusting other people with her heart and s*xual desires and she was lonely because her mother left her early she has noone from her family to rely on except her not so good father who tried to be good to her in the later episodes of novel
• Both characters had a terrible childhood incident and experiences to deal with ML luckily had his step sister and step motger helping him in knowledge human values moral values and natural feelings but when they met they both were lonely that's how they completed eachother
• Spoiler

  ML did a huge mistake which FL later forgive him for it he actually was responsible for breaking FL marriage with her original fiancee he ordered that girl (heeyeon) to seduce the fiance of FL and fiance got seduced and cheated on FL and that's how FL broke up with her ex fiance from the starting ML was controlling all these things like he owned her he was totally a bastard for doing this that's why FL got angry on him and then he realized he loved FL and FL forgave him because she was too lonely she choose love over hate and happy ending

• It's a happy ending
