Honestly the ML is teetering the lines of scum and caring. Ive never seen a novel on here that has such a unique MC. She's weak, low self esteemed, and isn't "oh no! Im so ugly : (" but a ten out of ten 16-23 year old who has countless of men salivating over her and willing to do anything for her even after countless of rejections. " She's nearly 30 years old and doesn't take care of herself to the point people laugh behind her back and has semi-in*estuous/codependent... more>> relationship with her stepbrother. She's an average woman with real problems.

The ML helps build her confidence by transforming her appearance and attitude while also taking interest in her and kinda grooming her into eventually bedding her. Its really well written. Even though the characters are morally gray, you kinda find yourself routing for them even though in any other circumstance or book you'd probably hate them to death. The fashion advice sprinkled here in shows the author researched fashion quite a bit and it feels very immersive. Can't wait to finish it.

Also the smut is SO refreshing. None of that insert slot A to slot B and unrealistic virg*n cold MLs being some form of s*x gods. The ML is a man with experience and it shows how he handles the scenario into seemingly realistic good smut. Usually in novels it just feels nearly boring when it comes to interc**rse since it never feels anywhere close to what real life experiences are like. This had just the right level of creativity and suspended disbelief to make it feel more artistic and less graphic but wasn't so vague you might as well not add it. 100% would recommend and thank you translator for doing such a good job! <<less

Loved reading this novel, not too many chapters but it was still a substantial satisfying read. My only gripe is how ... more>>
Spoiler

everything accelerated into marriage... iirc they only knew each other for a month or two?? Timeline is wack imo, that's all I could tell. Wish we saw a bit more of their dating life but oh well.

[collapse]

Also, who put those tags? Abusive and manipulative characters?? And what is that BD*M tag doing there?? A bit of spanking and a blindfold (used non-sexually) does not equate to BD*M y'all. And yeah, what the brother did wasn't cool but I wouldn't label it as far as abusive and manipulative (maybe a tad manipulative but he had good intentions and the MC was mainly upset he didn't commute his concerns for her in the first place). The love triangle tag is also confusing me but... ok.

One of the author's better works, 9.5/10 recommend! Note: the novel is fully translated unlike what NU shows. You just have to go to the ToC on the translator's website. <<less

The ML and the FL is definitely not the perfect character you would encounter but!! I think that's what's make them so realistic. The ML doesn't have a likeable personality but he's not someone I can hate so much either. Afterall, he's the one who change the FL for the better. He's soooo rude but he cares for the fl. He's grumpy and hot headed but secretly takes care and thinks of the FL's well being.

And while the FL is just so relatable to me! Low self-steem, not much fashionable,... more>> caring too much from others opinion of oneself, not knowing her dream for herself, keeping everything to herself in a fear to burden your family and many more. Maybe that's why I really love her character and how she's grown to have more confidence and takes better care of herself along the way is just so inspiring.

Also, about her brother

Spoiler

She doesn't really love him as a man. Although, they're not blood related, she loved him as a family and in her fear of burdening him, she mostly kept everything about her a secret (where is her job or what is her job, how she's doing etc.) which made her brother fear that she might abandon him and he won't know where to find her if she ever just dissappear. Her brother also felt guilty that she spend her years devoted to him and wanted her to be more free that's why he did that. I think the problem they have here is their lack of communication. They should have tried to be more open to each other but because they try to take care of each other in their own way without proper communication, they only ended up hurting each other.

And, although, it's on the last part chapters, the smut is sooo hot! The translation is great and good job to the author! <<less

A wholesome story with no 2nd mls and a very unique storyline.

It was extremely slowburn to the point that the ending seems kind of rushed and left with a cliffhanger. Wished the author made some few extra chapters cause it definitely wasn't enough.

7.8/10

It was such a flowy read. I love the author's style of writing as it kept you wanting to read on.

The ending was a bit too quick. I wanted a bit of development for them beyond s*x, which was already great for them. She also forgave them a bit too quickly for me. While I appreciate that we didn't have endless misunderstandings, I wanted some more groveling from both the brother and the ML. The brother's redemption arc was also done too hastily, I wasn't done thinking of him as scum, and yet we had to forgive, love, and understand him. The ML definitely deserved way more groveling given how manipulative he had been in the first half of the novel.

Anyway, the smut was good. Tasteful and helped progress the plot. And it had consent! Informed consent.

It's not the best but it's really good. Would definitely recommend. Thank you translator-nim for the great translation. <<less
