Description

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

Erable Vermilion (23 years old) often found her life rolling toward the lesser of two evils.

A life filled with frequent mental victories of “at least it’s better than the worst!”

“You look like someone who knows me, don’t you?”

In her 9th year of being trapped in a book, she had vowed to never get involved with the protagonist, but…

At the very moment when a path home finally opened for her:

“Young lady, would you like to enlist in the army?”

She got caught by the protagonist.

A person whose number of victims was so vast that administrative records were needed to keep track.

The very source of the despairing ending, the one who even used their lover as a plaything for the division.

And, on top of that, completely devoid of remorse, a perfect moral-less figure.

Getting a job is definitely better than getting killed.

“I’ll work hard!”

For a stateless person from another world, survival was always the main issue.

Tbh I really can't understand what's happening in the middle of the story, when the FL changes her working place and then some god or thing attacks?

That was confusing as hell.

And just back off if you are here for romance, because there's absolutely none of it here, at the very least not the humane way, ig?

... more>>
Spoiler

So how did I know that mb the ML loves the FL, it is after her body literally blasts? Is torn? Idk?

And he being the immortal? God? Whatever he is, repairs it. And this guy is fr emotionally constipated, I mean it.

Loved how the FL didn't give two f*ck's about this guy wanting to sleep with her, and kept her wits about it always. But it hurt me so bad, to see her health deteriorating, and how she was never her own priority. Her workaholic behavior made me want to literally pull her back out of her desk and forcefully make her rest.

Overall, I can't actually recommend this. Because even if, the FL was personally likable to me, there are almost no plus points about the ML. This guy only exists to scare the living hell out of the FL.

[collapse]

The story is very confusing after the middle you'll just get lost about what is happening? And by the time they introduce the forced romance (in my humble opinion, I think it's forced and how both the parties accept it) you'll be too bored to care. It actually had a lot of potential, I thought mb I would see smthing like 'Olgami' but goodness, wasn't I wrong.

So don't bother wasting your time, especially since there's no idea abt what is happening? Why is it happening? And a lot of other things.

Spoiler

Read it till - The FL is brought back to life. The ML sends her to rest to her family. It gets too boring till this, so I just gave up

Horror and comedy are two sides of the same coin in this story. Because some of the implications of the off-hand description's are dark. But what the protagonist goes through sometimes leaves you trying not to laugh.

She is unlucky, that much has been established, and her bursts of good luck only happen because her bad luck runs out.

But seriously, as is with all protagonists. I am rooting for her. With all my heart and soul I truly hope she gets a happy ending.

Still reading this but this is so good. But let me get this out of the way: the author world builds with "show, don't tell" in every sense. They never tell you upfront about what the "original story" supposed to be, only that it's a combination every genre there is and a BL. They would suddenly drop unfamiliar terms and never explain it, just expect you to understand from the context. So often times you have to keep your confusion to yourself and keep reading, and then once you get... more>> the context you just shelf it into your mind.

Erabelle or Min Jinwoo, our protagonist. Her very personality roots in her will to survive another day in that hellish workplace and world. She is very resillient and adaptable. She just wants to go home to her previous world, and for that she must survive. She did everything she could to increase her survivability. Modify her own body, use drugs and boosters, build her own bunker, and serve her inhumane boss.

Speaking of the boss. He is our male lead.

Spoiler

He (and his Dogs) is literally non-human of cosmic proportions. It was hinted here and there that him and his Dogs keep looping in the timeline. So for him, Erabelle is an anomaly in the current timeline. That makes him interested. And then she proves her usefulness again and again. That, and their compatibility rate is high like 97%. Plus the way she always draw a line between them even after their passionate nights together makes her different from others. He keeps testing her by putting her as a bait in a warfare, showing her kindness after their nights together, and showing her his true form; to see whether she would prove him right-that she is the same as anyone else. But she always, always prove him wrong.

I don't know if I were just being too sensitive, but ch 58-59 made me cry unexpectedly. The translations is SO GREAT btw. <<less

😑😑😑

my thoughts and face while reading this.

first, I don’t see romance at all. The FL is scared all of the time and the ML has no genuine and sincere concern really for the fl.

... more>> second, I’m confused many times. There are things I don’t understand just like the FL. Like, what made the ML act that way or when FL feels like the ML is angry, I’m also confused as to WHY.

There are also times that I don’t understand the scene... so I’m not sure if it’s because I’m too s*upid to understand the scene or the writer is too vague about the actions in the scene probably for the writer’s purpose to have suspense. Regardless, because of that I don’t really appreciate the story.

I also pity the FL so much to the point that I don’t like the ML.

so yeah, I’ll just drop this. <<less
