First of All, Let’s Hide My Younger Brother

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I got into manhwa 19+ of the BL genre. And so it turned out that I became the only sister of the protagonist …

This story has a very tragic ending, in which a madman destroys the family of the protagonist and kidnaps him, imprisoning him.

Unfortunately, the first victim to be killed is me!!! A character who goes to save her kidnapped brother and dies a terrible death.

Now, I need to think about this carefully. How can I, my brother and my family be safe? First, get my brother out of the public eye.

Therefore, I carefully hid my younger brother and decided to go out in public.

But that’s not all.

“Haven’t seen you for a long time, Kayla.”

“!..”

“Now, should I take a fee for what you did to my eye?”

Now the madman’s target was me, not my little brother. All my 5 years of hard work have gone in vain.

I wish this was translated more! 😭😭😭 I read up to the train scene in one of the translations and it's so good man. For once, I can understand and agree with the FL's thought processes. And the 'ML' is creepy enough too. I like it.

I tried to search for the untranslated raws but I didn't have much luck. All I could find was the comic version which is not my preference.

The pain is real.

Dude, I don't understand why people read novels with the tag of psychotic MLs... and expect a healthy relationship.

If you can differentiate fiction from reality, and enjoy messed up characters this is it. This got the epitome of a black-bellied ML who crossdresses and collect pictures of the FL, and lock her up and attempt to assault her kind of messed up. The kind that makes you want to admit the ML into a high-level psych ward.

If you're sensitive and can't ingest dark themes... then this novel ain't it cyst.... more>> Find something more fluffy and wholesome.

Either way, I want to bump this novel's rating up because I'm burning with curiosity how this story would play out. <<less

Dropped this piece of garbage into oblivion and burn it into hell.

Good plot but sh*tty romance you know why..?

... more>>
Spoiler

Cause the damn ML is the r*pist who abused and r*pe the MC's brother in the past life and even killed the OG MC by ripping her into pieces and feeding to the dogs.

Do you think the ML will be changed in the new life? Nope!!! Still tried to r*pe MC after abducting her. I don't know what kind of ret*rdation the MC got eaten to accept that tr*sh bastard. It's funny how she can proudly get mad about her fiance when he don't even hate the one who literally abused her brother!!

This novel is tr*sh! This suppose to have good beginning. But it end up into psychotic story about a r*pist and an idiot MC.

This is problem with some women, r*pe is fine as long as handsome bullsh*t.

THIS IS A DARK NOVEL, DO NOT READ IT IF YOU'RE WEAK HEARTED. Im convinced that the 1 star reviews never read the full story or read BL r*pe stories and never complain about it. Stop spreading false information.

... more>>
Spoiler

There is no attempted r*pe between the ML and FL, thats why theres no r*pe tag. Though there relationship is not the best, I do not like the misinformation that the ML tried to do that to the FL. The ML is obsessed and heavily dedicated to the FL that he cries and wants her to be affectionate to him, why would he want to r*pe her? And if there was r*pe why isn't this rated 18+? Read the full story or read the scene correctly before making sh*t up

[collapse]

Spoiler

this isn't one of the best stories with a good ML but it has a unique plot. I get it that ppl are uncomfortable with the ML about what happened in the OG novel but I don't get how these 1 star reviewers came to the conclusion that the current time ML is a rapist. The FL changed him completely in terms of what he feels about her in THE CURRENT TIMELINE. (He still is obsessive and a yandere though).

It's so good!!! I really like this one~~~! Kayla is pretty entertaining as a female lead, ahaha. She's adorable, honestly.

Also, I love Franz?? He's such a cute child...

Spoiler

It's entertaining that he doesn't even try and he's so much better at using the shield. Versus Kayla, who tries really hard, but fails even harder. Ahaha.

The MC seems like she has a good head on her shoulders. And I hope what was shown in the promo webtoon comes to pass quickly

The brother is adorably innocent and I can see why so many people fell for him in the OG novel

I like how this novel acknowledged that even if you were a master at kendo it's still different then medival sword fighting. Most kendo masters in novels become experts at european sword fighting even though everything about it is different

A lot of people have a problem with the past... but in this story she didn't live through the past she only knows it through the novel so I didn't let it stop me from reading. I'm glad I did because I absolutely love the female lead in this and who knows how the ML will act since she hasn't interacted with him in the chapters really yet. All I know is I've enjoyed what I read so far for her story and I wish translations would continue but the... more>> one who was doing it dropped them and said they'd give raws to whoever wanted to continue: ( <<less

Spoiler

This novel is actually really good, I think many people are misunderstanding the story without reading the full novel and just yesterday I read it all.

[collapse]

Spoiler

There should be a tragedy tag, I cried so much about the female leads back story. In the previous life her parents were the owners of a kendo dojo before they died in an accident, she sold it and got a job as the sole guardian of her younger brother. Stressed with work she ends up ignoring her brother who is being severely bullied and commits su*cide, in response she goes after the people who bullied her brother and kills them with a training sword before being shot dead with a gun.

[collapse]

Spoiler

I know full well that the Male lead Astair is not a good person because he tortures and kills people, however in the novel he didn’t do that to Franz because he liked him. On the contrary he hated him and was jealous over the fact that everyone was looking for him and he felt upset because if he died or disappeared because no one knows who he is no one would care. Astair has a really shitty and tragic life story, so I think the author made him so OP to counter that. Astair Liche is the grandson of the Duke Liche and the illegitimate son of the Emperor with the dukes deceased daughter who was his mistress. Because of his special identity as the only survivor of the Spirit Kingdom, made up of powerful elementalist mages and being cursed by the Empress a sorceress should he be a Male by his coming of age ceremony he will die. Astair lives in isolation between the duchy of Liche and count Aizar, cross dressing as a woman.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Astair actually falls in love with Kyla at first sight, in contrast to Kyla who gets kidnapped by him she never blames him and at first starts to treat him as a lonely child and a sibling. She is amazed by his magic abilities and comes to want his happiness as much as Franzs. When she is kidnapped she has dreams: 1) where Astair tortures Franz in the dungeons. 2) Where Og Kyla and Astair meet for the first time (actually Astair made Rittaus and Franz believe that he killed Kyla, in fact he manipulates her into making him stay with her and keeps her in his room and puts an invisibility spell on her so that no one except him can see her. This part was in the side story, so if you didn’t read the whole thing how would you know?) 3) She has a dream about a bloodied pink haired woman who tells her to let Astair go otherwise he can’t go and do what he needs to. The pink haired woman alludes to the many deceased of the Spirit Kingdom that surround Astair as ghosts urging him on, making his mind more mu*derous in the hope that he’d destroy the Erbach empire which destroyed them.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Astair can communicate with the spirits who can read kylas thoughts to a certain degree, that’s why he starts to like her who knows who he is without having met. Eventually she tells him partially that this world is a novel (actually it’s a webtoon) and he asks her about her previous life and her brother that committed su*cide. However, Astair is able to figure out alone with regard to what Kyla has done so far that her brother is main character and he is the villain.

[collapse]

Spoiler

What makes Astair the Male lead in my eyes is that he helps her face her previous life, even though the reason was because of a bet to prevent her from leaving him. Astair has powerful magic and is able to go into the past even in another world for one minute, with schuette he says that if she can break the dimensional wall she’ll be able to speak to her brother and he’ll let her go free. She eventually comes to rely on him and when he kisses her, she never disagrees to it.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Astair kisses Kyla and tells her that she was the only one who recognised him for who he is. It was a consenting kiss but Kyla pushes him away because of her last dream. They fight and Astair falls on top of her, he tells her he can do anything to get her to stay. She apologises that the reason why he’s not growing is because of her and that he has always wanted to go outside. But then he cries and begs her, Kyla Managing to push him away she stabs him in his eye with an envelope knife and leaves.

[collapse]

Overall it’s a good read but the aftertaste is a bit bitter. There could be development in the relationship between the Male and female leads and what I didn’t like was that in the side stories there was no in the future chapter. Whether they had children or what...

This novel is beyond words I can speak.

First there's the ML who's just shitty, then there's the FL who just seems bright but not really insightful or smart with words.

Spoiler

I don't know if they will have any character development (mostly the FL) I mean- how does one know that the ML tried to r*pe and confine his brother in the OG and not feel any disdain or utter disgust?

Like all the 5 star reviews if you read an obsessive ML Don't expect a healthy relationship like "they just met and they're already inlove" genre, and if you're uncomfortable of the things the ML did in the book the MC transmigrated in don't worry he changed, of course he's still obsessive but not to the point he'll r*pe the MC like what those 1 star reviews are saying.

I don't know about other people's opinion to this novel, but I actually like it. Something that suits my cup of tea~ Other than that, I'm still far from the spoilers of the other but the way the story progress piqued my curiosity.

Besides, I don't expect a good relationship between the ML and the FL, especially when the ML portrayed an obvious obsession. Something that never really end to a good and desirable result. So, I'll have to wait for more chapters before saying anything more than what I have... more>> said~ho ho ho~ <<less

i genuinely love this novel, and enjoy this kind of mysterious dark psychological plot. I just don't understand why translators drop it. The ML is a great psycho twisted character and FL is a brave and deciesive, strong character. The plot is unique and interesting. You can't even guess what will happen the next chapter. Now i've been reading the manhwa for some times, cause these translators got no taste for this novel. So I recommend you to read it, if you can. Whether it's its manhwa or its novel.... more>> Both are great. (I just prefer novels, which I can't read. 😭😞) <<less

I didn't find myself getting particularly attached or invested to any character throughout the series for some reason, but it was still a fun and decently entertaining read.

Spoiler

As previous reviewers have said, Astair straight up has just lost his marbles. Or rather, he never had any to begin with. He's a loose cannon who can and will do messed up things. His motivation changes throughout the series from himself/his own satisfaction, to Kayla. She's truly the only thing holding him together at this point LOL. Rather than saying love changes him, love makes him act in line with what Kayla wants and hiding some of his actions from her. In the end he deliberately draws assassins to himself so he can let off steam on them lol.

[collapse]

Kayla

Spoiler

She's an interesting, strong FL. I liked that she had a clear goal of protecting her family only and made sacrifices toward that (even though she ended up giving in and siding with Astair). She has her trauma and I think the series portrayal of it is more than what we see in other series (at least it's addressed lol). Glad that she could finally let go of her past, even though it was only possible due to Astair being extremely overpowered. But hey, at least she addressed and got over her trauma, right?

NGL her development with ML didn't really draw me in. She just started with sympathy which turned into attachment and then somehow they kissed? Maybe it was just me missing the nuance. Anyway, you already know from the summary that they'll end up together so it was just whatever for me.

[collapse]

Ending

Spoiler

The last we see of them is their wedding (cute I guess) and Kayla assumes position of Empress and basically does all the political stuff because Astair is... you know.

Side stories focus on other characters like her academy friends. Nicholas (bully guy who fell in love with her) falls for her friend Iris when she smacks him with a pot. Her other friend (who I totally forgot the name of) falls for Astair's older brother who's like.... 40. I was a bit nervous about it but their side story ends with him rejecting her and her first love ending.

[collapse]

Something that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth

Spoiler

Basically before the main story ended, there was a bit where they elaborated on the world that Kayla fell in. TLDR it was originally supposed to be a rofan with Kayla and Astair as the protags, but the author fell ill and her sister (who was illustrating it) went out on her own and changed it into a tragic BL starring Franz.

We know that Astair tells Franz that he killed Kayla and ended up imprisoning him in the dungeon forever.

However the final side story shows what really happened in that BL!timeline. Astair is torturing Franz and looking for someone through him but he doesn't know what. Kayla breaks in to save her brother, and ends up being trapped by Astair in the mansion (much like she does in the main story). A bunch of stuff that happens in the main story also happens in the BL timeline, drawing them closer and implying that they are still fated for each other. Franz escapes but he's determined to find him to hold him hostage as leverage against Kayla. The side story ends with Astair holding Kayla tight, as he'll never let her go.

I feel like the author wanted to "tie up loose ends" and show they were always fated to be together, whether in a good way (main story) or a bad way (BL timeline). Putting this side story last just really killed the vibe for me though.

This is quite the cup of tea for me, had been hoping for a new chapter to come:)

I am not sure what others feel about this but lots of people were ranting about how tr*sh the male lead is (which I agree but hey hes hot)

I find it unusual for them to expect such a healthy relationship with such a tag and a genre, and to clear some misunderstanding, the ML didn't r*ped the protagonist

Bruh, what's worst is that the MC broke her engagement cuz' she knew the ex fiancé will just look at her bro being r*ped by the sc*m ML and now you end up with the ML who did those nasty thing to your bro?
