If you want to find the most wildly hateful internalized misogynists then look no further than the comments section on any shoujo/romance comic.

#so interesting how much some of these girls hate the fl for literally no reason than the crime of not being a blank slate to project onto #its especially obvious on webcomics with ml that are drawn excessivly attractive #like its a strange equation.... #the more hot a ml is the more hated the fl is #esp annoying when like i see comments before i read that are like /UGH!!! she is so ANNOYING always whining!!/ #so i expect her to be like that but then shes not #like she actually quite strong and mature and a but bratty but otherwise not whiny #and she only actually cries in one chapter and its a pretty valid reason to cry #and its like hmmmmm...... maybe we didnt read the same comic just now #personal

assigning my favorite music albums to the main cast of "nevermore": part one.

lenore — "viertel vor irgendwas" by betterov.

it touches on themes of loneliness, isolation, feeling out of place, scared and lost. but there's also hope, an urge to change as a person and, of course, love. the music is very beautiful too, I'm imagining lenore sitting at the rooftop and listening to "nacht".

duke — "bunka" by eve.

I decided that this pop-rock album could reflect his mischievous nature. some songs are a bit circus-coded, if that makes sense, the others are more chill with a comforting flair to them.

pluto — "the birds outside sang" by florist.

this album never fails to break my heart. the melodies are light, but strong. the songs use simple, every day imagery, but it's impossible not to feel how much emotion and trauma is hidden between the lines. take "1914", for example: "please remember to feed the cat, please remember that I'm never coming back". ugh.

morella — "flip that" by loona.

I relate to this character in some ways, so I think we could share the same favorite group. but while I'm more of a [xx] girl myself, something refreshing and cute like [fl!p that] would suit morella perfectly. I can picture her enjoying "pale blue dot" very clearly.

eulalie — "ad mare" by nmixx.

even I disliked this album at first, but it grew on me a lot, and I just know that eulalie gets it too! and appreciates experiments in music! she seems like a real enjoyer of bizarre noisy pop.

berenice — "совершенный пустяк" ("sovershenniy pustyak") by нежное это (nezhnoe eto).

she's a bit of an enigma for me, so it may sound like a strange choice. the songs there are chill and cheerful, but often touch on some pretty dark themes, creating a puzzling contrast. that's probably something berenice could like.

note: I wasn't aiming for 100% accuracy, just choosing the albums that I actually love, listen to (no skips!) and heavily recommend. it's all purely based on vibes that I get from the characters.

I think you’re one of the best Coryo writers on here tbh, like I’m so captivated by all of your series and I haven’t been this obsessed with a series in so long. Souls to Crush and the arranged marriage series are superior, I love the way that you don’t make MC feed into a “weak, damsel in distress” stereotype and even if she isn’t physically strong, she is mentally and she’s intelligent (big slytherin vibes) She always seems to be at least three steps ahead of Coryo, even when he thinks he’s better than her. Ugh it’s just such wonderful writing omg and don’t even get me started on the Ethan fics 🫶🏻🥹

-🌺 anon (can I name my anon?? Is that annoying? Idk)

Thank you doesn't seem adequate enough to reply this ask, but thank you for your kind words, thank you for liking my work, it means a lot to me.

honestly, i was fed up with weak, damsel in distress mcs, like no offense they're good just not for me, especially when it's dark romance, it's just boring for me, i like my couples to be equally insane and that's exactly why Reader is like that

I think she would be a Slytherin along with Coriolanus! Personally I am a Ravenclaw, and it's actually really fun to write the FL like this, a bit unhinged , really smart, I don't see it as much as I would like too, so I took the matters in my own hands

And YES you can name your anon! ❤️ and it's definitely not annoying

ps. I can't believe you have read my Ethan fics as well, ily <33

ps². can you give me your pronouns if u don't mind? thank you

CDramas I finished in January 2024

Well yes, they are mostly dramas with Dylan in them.

Also, possible spoilers ahead.

• Only For Love: 8.5/10

Was it cringe? Yes.

Did I get second hand embarrassment many many times? Yes

Was it one of the least good performances of Dylan? Yes

But I had fun and the spicy scenes in the last episodes were *chef's kiss* So yeah, it was a feel good show and I loved Bai Lu.

• Meteor Garden: 8.5/10

Despite its obvious issues (acting, abusive ML, ridiculous situations) I still loved it. I was so nervous for these two towards the end and I did cry like a baby with the episodes in England. The ending could have been better, but I am ok with it. I think it was fitting to the rest of the series.

• The Rational Life: 9.5/10

This was sooooo cute! I absolutely adore the main couple's dynamic and how the ML cared for her all the time. FL was so beautiful, charismatic and a strong character to aspire to. I am not giving it a 10 because I needed more kisses and cuddles and stuff and maybe even a wedding 🥹

• Hidden Love: 10/10

My sweet babies. I fell in love with their story so hard. I honestly have no words to describe how incredibly beautiful this drama was for me. There was a permanent smile on my face whenever I watched an episode. It's definitely a rewatch for me.

• Unchained Love: 10/10

I was so reluctant to start this because of negative comments about the deleted scenes. Well, I didn't feel anything was missing. The story got me hooked, Dylan was as sexy as he can ever be, FL was smart and resourceful. I was so worried and nervous about them towards the end that I had to pause for some days. That evil emperor ugh. Ultimately, it was a great watch for me.

Currently watching:

• My Boss

• Meet Yourself

• The Princess and the Werewolf

• Till the End of The Moon

I haven’t vaped weed since I left NY over three months ago. I have been taking literally the teeniest hit at night to wash dishes and cook dinner while in Spain because Kevin only bought $10 of 🍃 We had a baby water bong and because I was forced to drag it out to last 3 weeks, I took only what I needed to elevate the moment. To make me cross from states of “ugh I have to do the dishes” to aww, “what a privilege to have all of these dishes in the sink, because that means I fed my family”

It’s “I get to do the dishes” a lot easier when I have a tiny hit at the end of the night.

My FL medical card ran out after I left the state so last November when I was here, I bought like 6 pens

I put it on a super low setting when I got home from the airport and took one hit. It felt insane, WAY too high given what I took in.

I lowered the pen significantly more just now 7 hours later, because my toddler smashed my brow bone with the metal armrest of the plane seat while I was laying my head on my husbands lap. It hurt so bad and I iced it with a cold ginger ale can 😂

My head still hurts and I’m going to need ibuprofen, for sure. But I took this small hit on the setting so low I had literally never used it, and I now feel like I’ve been blasted to outer space. This weed is too strong like, how did I used to do this. Damn.

I even miss the weak but much better for me weed from Spain. I even miss that.

#fuck #this is now the I must do everything to go back to BCN bitching blog #sorry #🥲

Kai and Isabella did not give anything but we’re not ready for that conversation. At all.

Actually, the concept of Kai was a waste when you think of Isabella’s character deeply. Kai is just like Rhys—total green flag, strong, brilliant, not morally grey, even the way their love for the women unfolded.. amongst all of Ana’s ML Kai & Rhys are v similar, the same way you can put Alex & Christian together and Dante as their love child.

So what Kai needed was really a strong FL. This whole coward, insecure FL plot reminded me of Stella who was the most forgettable in the Twisted series as Christian carried that entire book.

Her breaking up with him made no sense, her back story was barely did anything for the plot, the revelation that she’s infact a rogue heiress also did nothing for the plot.

And this is all outside the fact that their romance was just generally flat. The side characters did nothing for the plot as well. His mother was a strong contender to thicken this plot but no. Her family was mute for most of it too.

I don’t even understand why I’m upset. The book gave me nothing omg I’m so hurt.

Let’s actually break down the FL that I’ve experienced from Ana’s book so far:

Ava was this traumatized sunshine with a psycho dad that tried to kill her

Jules was a sex-positive lawyer that had a rough childhood and a crazy ex blackmailing her

Bridget was a queen. Of a fucking country.

Vivian Lau was a typical heiress that was ready to do right by her family including marrying a morally grey man she didn’t really know.

Then there’s Stella, who was an influencer that had ptsd from being harassed & stalked online

So tell me how Isabella is just a bartender-rogue-heiress where none of that actually comes in to help her plot.

At least, we understood why Stella was the way she was, why she would have found Christian weird given her history with Stalkers. Even though this story too was meh for me. There was so much more potential.

I’m rambling now but ugh. Not it at all.

That Feeling when everything a series has done made you think the ML is Guy A (introduced him first, enemies -> friends arc, strong chemistry after they bond, the promo material heavily feature Guy A and FL). Then it turns out it’s actually Guy B...

HINDSIGHT IS 20/20 BUT... RETURN ME MY INVESTED FEELINGS, GDI!

And worse still is when you can’t even argue with it...

Guy A : Innately noble and very intelligent, but heavily resentful of many things due to tragic backstory, a bit of a bastard, needed FL to break him out of his poisoned mentality, FL was very afraid of him at first

Guy B : Gentle, warm and kind towards FL (for real, not white lotus), FL has had a crush on him forever

Logically, it’s absolutely the sane option for FL, who is also traumatized with a tragic backstory of her own. She thinks of Guy B as safety and warmth, which is probably better for her mental health than Guy A, frankly she doesn’t need the burden of being his therapist??

Yet... yet... UGH. MY SHIP. MY FEELS. BAH.

Finished “Moonshine” and I have so many [good] feelings. I’ve seen other people review it and post about it and it did not get good reviews, and I just disagree wholeheartedly and will fight about it. It’s not the perfect show, but it was perfect for me. I will say upfront - the women are 90% of the reason I loved this show...

Women + Friendships

First of all, I actually LOVED every single woman in this show. So many times in Kdramas the FL is a pushover who does dumb or reckless things because of some emotional whim. And a trend I’ve noticed in historical dramas is that the women are just motivated by blind ambition to get their son on the throne (or something along those lines) so you end up hating them for being malicious. Often, the women side characters are not given any depth or character development and they’re just used to move along the ML’s plot or character arc. In “Moonshine”, I ended up understanding and truly enjoying all of the ladies. Even the Royal Consort who at first was questionable became a character that I loved. She just wanted to protect her son, and she could’ve just blindly followed what the Chief Royal Secretary made her do, but in the end, she made the right choice. 

I loved that the women weren’t pitted against each other. In most other dramas, Ro Seo and Ae Jin would have been rivals and Ae Jin would’ve inevitably been made to be petty or something. But the way that they worked together to smuggle alcohol and later to defeat the CRS, was so good. I loved that they became family. When Ae Jin slapped the Crown Prince for being an idiot, I literally cheered alone in my house lol Also, Ae Jin having a shoplifting phase because her life felt out of control? I felt seen. The Queen could’ve easily been a villain who only wanted her child to be on the throne, but she ended up being such a morally strong character who wasn’t blindly led by some bad guy in maroon on the court (they always wear maroon). Ro Seo and her bestie were so such badasses, never backing down no matter how many times their plans got fucked up. Ugh I love all of these women. It was so refreshing to have these fully fleshed out, strong women who weren’t just doormats. I think that’s also why I loved “Rookie Historian” so much as well. 10/10

The Rest

I saw a lot of reviews that complained about the pacing, but I actually didn’t mind it. Maybe because I binged it in three days, but either way, I was hooked and always excited about the next episode. I loved how there really wasn’t a huge Noble Idiocy plot line and even the misunderstandings were cleared up pretty quickly. I loved the dynamic between the romantic leads. He started out as a stickler for the rules who saw everything in black and white, but his character grew so much because of Ro Seo’s influence. I thought their chemistry was really good and the fact that they both had their eyes closed on their first kiss and didn’t just do a dead fish moment - FINALLY GOD IS IT SO HARD!!!!!! Also, I’ve already posted it, but when Nam Young says “I will count to ten and to ten again. And even then, it is you for me.” ARE YOU KIDDING?! One of my favorite confessions. I replayed it multiple times tbh

I loved that the Crown Prince and Nam Young became friends and grew because of each other as well (even though the Crown Prince was a massive idiot for some bits). And Oh My God...the thugs becoming her loyal followers. I LIVED for it. I love any storyline of rebellion against the ruling class, and doing that by taking over the illegal alcohol industry? They really said “gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss,” and I’m here for it. 

One of the best things was the storyline between Woon Sim and Sim Heon. It was really well done and even though I didn’t love that she took her life, I definitely get it. Losing someone you love, whether it’s romance or family or friendship, is devastating and after facing so much loss, I truly understand not wanting to go on. Plus she took control and took her death into her own hands when she would’ve inevitably been used or killed by the Chief Royal Secretary. (As a side note - Sim Heon was so fine...)

Also, I loved the random goofiness - from the music that sounded like the “Seinfeld” theme song to the like moments where it kind of broke genre and did like comic book things...it was so good to me. 

Final Thoughts

Yes, I understand that this drama isn’t perfect. I think they revealed the bad guy and his intentions a little early so that did feel kind of dragged out, but honestly...I think this is going in my top 5. It just hit all the right notes for me, and I think the fact that the women were so strong and truly led the show really set it apart. Anyways...go watch “Moonshine”.

What the actual fuck happened this morning. Fucked up dream. Fucked up amount of back pain. And a fucked up amount of sweat.

So. Last night. I went to bed at a decent time. About 130. Took a melatonin. I was READY to SLEEP. Then comes this sharp and throbbing back pain. So. I go about doing a few stretches i know relieve that. It. Got. Worse. I ended up laying awake until 7am. Just. Pain. And Suffering.

Finally, i fall asleep for about an hour. I ended up having this whole goddamn elaborate dream that i don’t remember half of. But it felt so damn real. I was with my ex in some huge hospital like building, hiding out from these gang members whose leader was trying to create a harem of men. He was after my ex. I saw what was going on with this guy and was like ‘uhhhhh fuck that’ and went about trying to escape from this place. There was this whole thing of running from some tall guy with lots of tattoos, accidentally walking in on him sexually warming up one of his men, and then finally getting out the doors and ending up in a disused train tunnel. Where. Take a guess. MORE of the gang were. I don’t remember what all happened in there but it couldn’t have been good. 

I woke up. Drenched in sweat. My back still ACHED. It was 830. I have not had such strong suicidal thoughts in literal YEARS. Possibly the most ever. I wanted to Fucking Die. I was Tired. I Hurt. I was Nauseous. I felt like shit. There’s a goddamn spider that’s been chilling on the ceiling in my bathroom since midnight and i was too high/tired to deal with him. He’s still there. I still don’t have the energy to deal with him but the door’s shut and that’s the spider’s bathroom now. He’s a kinda big cellar spider and Ew. Anywho. I ended up giving up on sleep and heading out to the living room. I remembered how the bout of back pain in FL went. I miss the partner. I need a damn hug rn and they give the best ones and that night ended up with me realizing it was food poisoning, throwing up, and then literally just crawling into bed with them holding me and passing tf out even tho i still had major back pain and was able to sleep through the rest of the night no issues. THIS TIME. It was 8am. I was like. Okay. Maybe i got food poisoning somehow again. Might as well get rid of that. I tried to throw up. I failed. That was going nowhere and my throat hurt. I went back out into the living room. Turned on the tv. Sat there for a while just wondering what to do. Not even turning on a show. Just spaced tf out and wanting to cry. Then my sister comes out at like 930 for breakfast. She’s making cereal. I’m trying not to cry. I tell her i haven’t slept and would rather her stay quiet and leave me alone. So. She just went on her way. ate. All that shit. Once she sat down i was like. I want to lay down. My Bed. Was Still Fucking Damp. From Sweat. Like The Fuck. I made the bed so i was laying on the comforter. Grabbed my pokemon throw blanket bc that was the closest thing to comfort and i didn’t want to use my weighted blanket and sweat tf out again. I layed down. Turned on music. And just sat there pressed between soft fleece and even softer fleece. Soft and cozy. But it wasn’t the sheer comfort i had back in FL with the partner but it sufficed. SOMEHOW. I passed tf out and slept another five hours and didn’t get up til 1230. Not enough sleep still but Holy Fuck I got some.

And now here i am. Pain free in my back. Still tired as all hell. I have a headache. I was clenching my teeth bc pain most of the night and my damn wisdom teeth are killing me. I’ve taken so much fucking advil through the night I’m scared to take more. At least my back doesn’t hurt now.

Ugh. I need to eat, shower, and change my damn sheets today. But I’m tired and depressed today so. Fun.

#taks speaks #tread lightly under the read more. there's mentions of vomit. spiders. and dream crime syndacates #literally. Fucked. Up. Nightmare. #and I DON:T HAVE NIGHT MARES #i swear my brain was like 'ARIGHT PRIDE MONTH OVER HAVE A GAY CRIMINAL WHO WANTS TO STEAL AND FUCK UP UR EX' #and i'm like 'WHAT THE FUCK MAN' #i swear i spent that dream trying to keep my ex from getting pulled into human trafficking #i was realistic and goddamn horrifying #i don't need some gay yakuza member coming in and doing that. uh. no. that's fucked up man #my ex is a good dude. i wouldn't wish that on the bad ones. #didnt help that i felt my current pain in the dream either #one thing i missed tho #there's a song by tom petty on the playlist i was playing while trying to sleep #and it still has the uncut album version #so it goes silent for a few seconds and is like 'for those using cassette or vinyl you will need to flip to side b' #and it distracted me from everything for .2 seconds long enough to not have pain while skipping the last thirty seconds of the song #just something that felt so unreal and confusing for long enough that i didn't feel as dead #*o shit gotta flip my tape* *wait. im streaming this* *why wasn't this cut* #*i was like 6 the last time i used a cassette* #...fun distraction via classic rock ig

[nobodycallsmerae]

I 100% recommend I Love Yoo!! It’s more of a drama based webtoon with not really any romance to it! It’s a reeeaaalllyyy long slow burn to the point where it’s not obvious who’s endgame atm (although there are very SUBTLE hints to it that will go right over your head the first time you read it), it’s so good, trust me. Yeong-Gi has my heart forever

Oh myy...

Um gonna be honest, my heart is too soft for serious drama, and I'm more into romance.. but if the story is good.. I might just give it a chance!!

Thank you!!! ✨

#Also the frustration of not knowing who the love interest is too strong and deep 😩😩 #Like. I like him and the fl likes him. He's sweet and charming and good and all #But then there's himmmm #Ugh you never know which on to choose 😩 #And it's easier for stories like ALYLM cuz we see doyun in the cover and we know our heart won't be broken... #But then in I live yoo there's both of them!! #Tbh I've just been too scared to start reading it ig #But now that you've recommended it with such great words... #I should definitely read it!!! #Thank youu #Ask #hemmingsbirdy

Review -the princess wars

Part 1 of this....review (it's more like rambling/reviewing/ranting) ((I will upload a part 2- when I get further into the story)

But Imma give you the official run down of this story before we start:

'After the Princess died, the soul entered a life-betting game! She will be the famous Pea Princess and other princesses in a fairy tale who will pursue the only prince. Only a princess who has successfully married a prince can return to the real world and continue her life and receive a huge bonus! How can she fight powerful princesses to capture the prince's love? ! War of the Princesses!"

interestingly enough- I read this one a while back, dropped it like a hot potato too, I'm in the middle of re-reading it right now, and I can safely say- that save for the fl and the art, can't forget the gorgeous art- I have literally nothing nice to say about this story.

I'm serious.

This will probably be the meanest review I ever type (for now)

Reading 20+ chpts of this series in one go was like going to a pig farm with no shoes on. Yes, I'm actually kinda upset that I had to re-read this story (it's not you, I just kinda hate this story) but I wanted to give it somewhat of a fair review, so to compromise I sort of speed read it.

So let's start with the good:

Well- ok, I might have a few good things to say about this story- mostly with the fl, Juana (I think that's her name).

Smart, resourceful, loyal and pretty funny! Not to mention that she's pretty strong and knows how to handle herself with weapons or maid work.

And the art- holy cow this art-

SHE KNEW WHAT WAS UP- GET A JOB! GET AWAY FROM HER!!!

The concept: Is also kinda interesting too, with the princess having special abilities, and whatnot, and you sorta feel bad for them, as there are actual stakes in the story! I also appreciate that the princesses seemingly follow their original story rather than a modified/watered down retelling, especially with the creative liberties that they take with the pea princess that technically doesn’t break the original story as:

-the original pea princess for all we know might not have ever been a princess to begin with 

and

-her test was kinda rigged because anyone sleeping atop of so many mattresses would definitely complain about something, so I’ll give credit where credit is due- the concept is fairly interesting and inspired. There.

NOW ONTO THE BAD:

Now look, this is isekai, right? And let’s be honest most isekai isn’t perfect, but we can still enjoy it for what it is.

Bad/corny villains? Eh ok, bearable I guess.

Basic/uninspiring side characters? Ok a little tolerable, but not unbearable, if you got a good fl and ml, the story can still be ok. 

Terrible/stupid fl or ml? Ok now you’re just going too far~ and that brings me to this story.

YIKES.

THE ML- PRINCE VINCENT.

Prince VINCENT

 ugh this Ml

Like imagine taking Cardan from The Cruel Prince- and removing his microscopic redeeming qualities and 3-5ft deep character depth (obviously I'm exaggerating/joking here) BUT- if you did, you'd get Vincent. In fact, if I were to just jump down a nearby rabbit hole- this whole story kinda feels like if we were to do an uninspired 'eligible bacherolette' for the prince- Cruel Prince version. Yes.

One thing I hate hate HATE about this story is how society gossips about the princesses acting out of line, yet no one says anything whenever Prince Vincent, who's supposed to be the morally upstanding future emperor looking for a wife- A WIFE- YES ONE, willingly eggs them on against each other, because deep down I think he wants a harem of toys. He gets off on manipulating them and kinda egging them on against each other which is just...weird and kinda gross. He obviously wasn’t held at ALL as a child. Sadly this isn’t even the worst he does

I hate the ml (the way how he mistreats and acts like a terrible person to the fl is just ugghhh- I think he has a thing for humiliating and threatening her (with death or just pretty much anything whenever she doesn’t comply with his demands)- I actually think it’s a kink too. You know he's only getting a pass because he's the prince, the art is pretty and he's hot. Otherwise he'd be dragged and shredded.

I'm serious- mistreating her as having her spend her punishment as working as a maid (even when he had the same suspicions and in the end had no problem humiliating that princess who they were accusing of, in order to humiliate her own country into submissiveness), and then when she (I think) becomes something akin to a knight, his personal knight *unfortunately* he kinda just annoys/harasses her. 

And let's not forget that time when he tried to kill her for her ending up in the library late at night and then forcing her to work for him. Maybe it'd be cute if they were like itsy bitsy kids or something- and this was just left to cold/jilted banter, but nah, I think he's abusing his power against her in an uneven power dynamic relationship. 

He knows he can make these demands and sometimes he blatantly does when she clearly doesn’t want to do something, but he knows she can’t resist because he’s the one with the power here. They’re obviously not equals in this relationship- I mean, it’s kinda clear that he only sees her as an asset to completing his own mission rather than her being an actual person. He doesn’t berate her for almost killing herself in order to fullfil a mission for him, nor does he have any problems with using magic against her when SHE’S VISIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT, and even after he uses it ON HER, he refuses to TELL HER WHAT HE DID TO HER. That’s SUCH A VIOLATION OF CONSENT- IT ACTUALLY MAKES ME ANGRY. ESPECIALLY WHEN WE KNOW HE’D THREATEN HER LIFE IF SHE DID ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY SIMILIAR TO HIM.

 This isn't like some harmful flirting, nah- he's making power moves against her. Publicly mocking her, privately putting her down while just leveraging her for whatever reason, pressuring and threatening her to ride a horse when she’s showing FEAR (which is kinda understandable, I can see why people would be scared of horses) and then stuffing her in an uncomfortable carriage when she’s still too scared to ride a horse.

He really doesn’t deserve her, in fact he doesn’t deserve anything at all, well except for the worst.

Also him painting using this as a test on only someone he can ‘trust’ aka so he could manipulate her into doing it is LAUGHABLY PATHETIC/MANIPULATIVE- given how he saw how said magic almost killed her in the first place, and despite her proving her worth to him MULTIPLE times while putting everything on the line, despite the fact that he treats her like utter GARBAGE. Just say that you want to exploit her for your own means, since it’s worked so far, and if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, because that’s all you want to do.

Just to be clear, I have nothing against a 'mean' ml, and in some cases it does make way for great banter/relationships, and character depth- but I think that ultimately fails here- with the stakes being so high and the power mostly being in his favor. The dynamic fells uneven- and it feels like she’s being taken advantage of someone who doesn’t even see her as a person. Heck, I don’t think he sees anyone else as a person- as it’s shown how he can so easily toss away people for his own gain, which sure, is politics, but that doesn’t make him any better suited for her, in fact it shows that he’d probably sell her out too if he could politically one up, or just humiliate her (because that’s his kink- I’m 100% sure of it)

People call him complex, but no, I’m sorry. The most complex thing about him is how the artist blows their back out weekly trying to make him look good. Being a flat out terrible person who takes advantage of others is not complex, it’s poor writing. If he were the villain it would be ok, and understandable even, but he’s not- he’s supposed to be a deuteragonist that we’re ok seeing Juana with when she deserves BETTER. 

You wanna know what actually is complex? Maybe a conflict or some sort of inner dilemma which the prince never has. If it’ll change, I’d like to see so, but I’m like 40+ chapters in, and I have yet to see anything.

 That’s really sad that these are her ‘last thoughts’. 

It also doesn’t help that literally any other male in this story would be a better male lead for the end game. Not even joking, I’d take the gardener or even the prince’s uncle over the prince. (Does anyone know what the gardener's curse is? I haven’t figured it out yet, but if I reach that point Imma upload it in part 2, if any of you know, please feel free to spoil it for me, the less I have to read outside of spoilers- the better).

I would not recommend this series to anyone - AT ALL.

the only way this story can redeem itself is if the females band together and rip his head off.

Taglist: @soobin-chois​

The sun streamed through white curtains. A brisk November breeze blew gently through the barely cracked window. Woodsy blackberry cologne tickled her nose faintly from the fresh linen pillow. And that’s when Y/N panicked.

This was not her apartment. She glanced from the window to the man behind her, arms wrapped around her midsection, and suppressed a groan as her recollection of the night rushed back.

~

They had stumbled through his apartment, him pushing the door closed with his foot and her kicking her heels off as they didn’t want to part. Falling together onto the couch, Jinyoung hovered over her, leaving love bites as he trailed over her exposed shoulders.

She had been freezing outside the club, having left her coat with Mina—she would have to get that back later—but with Jinyoung’s lips, tongue, and teeth on her, she was heating up fast.

He pulled back when she gasped. He’d bitten at a particularly sensitive spot on her neck, and goddamn did it feel good. “Tell me you want this. Tell me I’m not crazy,” Jinyoung rasped, voice rough with desire.

Y/N leaned up, pecking his lips and trailing her own feelings down to pop a few buttons open on his shirt. “I want this. I want this so bad.”

“Good because I really don’t want to stop.” Jinyoung growled, diving back down to suck dark, flowering bruises into her neck. If he was getting this chance, he was going to make sure she and everyone else knew who she belonged to now.

With each whimper and whine, she could feel him grind down against her covered core, rock hard and making her wetter by the second. She bent her knees, trapping his hips against hers, hoping for more friction with each grind of his pelvis against hers.

“Baby if you don’t stop, I’m going to take you right here, right now.” Jinyoung warned.

“Maybe that’s what I want,” she hissed back, leaning up to nip his ear.

Jinyoung pulled back swiftly, readjusting them both while he did. He yanked her to the edge of the sofa, falling to his knees in front of her and pushing her mini dress over her hips. He peered up at her, gaze unwavering with lust as his fingers danced up and down the insides of her thighs. “Last chance, baby. Are you absolutely sure you want to do this?”

“Ugh!” Y/N threw her head back, frustrated, “I swear to god, Jinyoung! If you don’t do something, I’ll–” She squealed, suddenly cut off by the feeling of him pinching her clit harshly.

He glared up at her, leaning closer to her panty-clad center. “You’ll what?” She panted as he gently stroked over her sheer thong, dipping his finger to feel how badly she wanted him. “Go on, baby. Tell me what you’ll do.”

“I’ll– hm… I’ll do it myself.” She managed to whisper as he traced her lips and brushed gently over her clit with his thumb.

Jinyoung smirked, leaning down to kiss her thighs. “I’d love to see that, baby… But not tonight. Tonight you’re mine.”

With that, he slid her panties off, tucking them into his suit pant’s pocket, and gently spread her legs a little wider. Jinyoung leaned down again, lightly tracing his tongue up her slit; both of their moans loud in his quiet apartment.

He bit down repeatedly against the soft flesh of her thighs, marking them up to match her collarbones, while he gently played with her clit. Y/N’s whimpers and moans quickly turned to small screams and pants of want as he increased the pressure on her clit, dipping his middle finger into her heat slowly. Jinyoung retreated, only briefly, as he sucked on his finger.

“Fuck, baby. You taste amazing.” He leaned closer, nose brushing her clit and whispered, “I’ve gotta have more.” And with that, he dove in. His tongue mercilessly flicked her clit, licked strips of her dripping cunt, and repeated; all the while his fingers grasped her thighs—a particularly sensitive part of her body—his grip tightened and put pressure on the bruises he’d left. The tinge of pain and the unending assault on her pussy pushed her over the edge before she even realized she’d gotten close.

Y/N threw her head back as he slid his middle finger back into her, giving her something to clamp down on. She cried out his name while she came, and he simply leaned back with a smirk, licking his bottom lip.

“C’mon, baby. I’m not done with you. My bed. Now.” He pulled her to her feet, but had to catch her as Y/N’s legs gave out. “Now that just won’t do.” He tsked, swooping her up in a bridal carry and heading to his room.

She giggled as he carried her, feeling giddy with the rising emotions following her first orgasm and the underlying promise of another.

For a second she was weightless, while he tossed her on the mattress, and then the soft foam hit her back, and she was enveloped by his silky sheets and subtle lingering signature cologne.

Jinyoung straddled her, hovering while he undid the rest of his shirt and tossed it to the side. He rolled over to the side and wrapped his arms around Y/N’s waist. Leaning in to gently press a kiss to her lips, he whispered as he pulled back. “You look like you belong here.”

She furrowed her brows in confusion at his words but didn’t question them nor reject the continued press of his lips to hers. And then her jaw, neck, and back to her collarbone. He suckled, once again, at her sensitive spot, sending a fresh wave of tingles through her body and straight to her oversensitive core.

Jinyoung scooted away just long enough to remove his suit pants and boxer briefs, help her out of her dress, and roll on a condom. Once they were both bare, her lying under him with her hands stroking up and down his chest, he let out a deep breathy moan.

“You are so. goddamn. beautiful.”

And with that he nudged himself into her. She gasped at the tightness. No burn, no resistance; he’d made sure of that with his teasing fingers and tongue. Just a wonderful fullness.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, his own strong grip grasping her waist as he dragged himself in and out sensually. Every roll of her hips reminded her of his dancing, and—in the middle of him giving her the best dick of her life—she let out a giggle.

He paused, sweat beading on furrowed brow, “Did you just… laugh?”

“Um… yeah, I just…” She gasped as he pushed back in a little more forcefully as punishment. She shuddered out a breath, “Yeah, I was just thinking about how you dance on stage. They really trained you to roll your hips, huh?”

Jinyoung’s small smirk blossomed into a full grin, and he let out a breathy laugh of his own, burying his reddened cheeks into her neck. “Ah, yeah, I guess they did.”

He continued rolling into her, both of them approaching their high. Not rapidly. He was making sure to take his time with her, making sure she wouldn’t forget this feeling.

But when they did approach it, it came on strong.

“Fuck, baby.” Jinyoung growled, pushing in a little deeper, a little harder more and more. “I can’t stop. Fuck… You just. God, no one feels like you do.”

“Jinyoung…” She gasped, “I’m gonna cum.”

“Then cum, baby. Cum with me. Let me feel it…”

And she did.

She felt like her soul left her body. Maybe it had. Maybe this was as good as it was ever going to get. And when she returned to Earth’s plane of existence, she could hear him panting and her own whimpers as he slowed to a stop and rested above her.

Y/N’s eyes fluttered open, hooded eyes meeting his soft gaze. He pecked her forehead as he pulled out. “Rest, baby. I’ll clean us up.” And with that she was out.

~

Why had she been so weak? This was sure to ruin whatever fragile friendship they held.

The only logical thing was to get out of there.

Maybe Jinyoung would be hungover and wouldn’t remember what they’d done. Maybe if she quietly left now, he wouldn’t bring it up, possibly scolding her in front of their other friends and reminding her that they couldn’t be together. Maybe he wouldn’t continue to break her heart.

So she left. Sneaking out, her chest filled with blossoming heartache of her own doing. Gathering her clothes, her mind flooded with regret that she’d made their friendship painfully awkward. Closing the door behind her, her eyes full with forced back tears at what she’d both gained and lost in one blissful night.

~

She spent the following two days avoiding Jinyoung. It wasn’t super hard with them not sharing any courses, but she still felt bad about it. It was very immature but very effective. Until it wasn’t…

Jinyoung finally caught up to her the third day of her avoidance spree in the cafeteria. She had meant to bring her lunch as money was becoming a bit tighter without her cushy corporate job anymore, but she’d forgotten. That also meant she couldn’t eat alone in her car, and instead was spotted by her friends—including him.

“Hey!” He grabbed her wrist as she moved through the line carrying a salad and juice. “Y/N? Where’ve you been? Nobody’s really seen you in a few days except for in class.”

He looked concerned but not mad at her. Maybe he really didn’t remember the night they had. Or maybe he didn’t care?

“Oh, um, yeah… I’ve just been busy with a project. I put it off this past weekend so that we could celebrate with Mina, but now I’m kind of regretting not getting it done.” It wasn’t a total lie. She did have a project, but it wasn’t due until finals week.

Jinyoung hummed, “Well, are you gonna join us for lunch since you’re here?” His eyes sparkled, and he held a gentle smile.

Y/N couldn’t help but return a warm smile. It didn’t seem that their friendship was ruined after all. “Sure, let me just pay, and I’ll join you guys.”

“Oh! Here, I’ll pay,” He handed the cashier his card and glanced at her food, “Is that all you’re getting? You won’t still be hungry?”

A small blush creeped across her cheeks, “You really didn’t have to pay, but I’ll be fine.”

“If you say so.” He says, leading her to their friends’ table with a hand on the small of her back. As they approach though, he pulls away, and she feels the disappointment in her chest.

~

The following weeks were… different. Y/N went back to hanging out with her friends, joining their study groups, and eating lunch with them—Mina made sure to question her odd behavior from earlier that month and got the details from after her party.

But what was odd was how Jinyoung had started to act.

They had been close throughout the whole semester, even dancing around flirting with one another. But after Y/N stopped avoiding him, he seemed to be acting even more so.

The first thing she noticed was when she would arrive on campus, he would greet her outside the building for her first class with her favorite coffee and a granola bar. She had tried to tell him that he didn’t need to do that since she eats breakfast before she leaves home—which wasn’t always a lie, but was more often than not—but Jinyoung had insisted that he noticed her stomach growling in the library the day before and she needed to eat properly. He continued to greet her that way every morning following.

Then, another day came when she forgot her lunch and was in line with a small salad and water. Jinyoung, who was in line behind her, noticed and bought an extra sushi roll, pushing it over to her when they sat with their friends.

“I’m really fine with just this, Jinyoung,” Y/N refused.

“Stop being stubborn. Just take the sushi. I know it’s your favorite kind.” He insisted.

Jack cooed, mouth full of burger, “Aww~ Look at JP, treating his girlfriend so sweetly.”

Jinyoung had rolled his eyes at that. “She’s not my girlfriend. It’s not like that. It just bothers me that she doesn’t eat properly.”

And that was that. Whenever Y/N didn’t bring her lunch, Jinyoung bought a second of what he was having and gave it to her, despite her argument every time.

The teasing from their friends didn’t cease, especially from Jack and Gray. Mina at least had the right mind to send sympathetic pouts to Y/N when she would frown.

“No boyfriend today?” Gray snickered, one afternoon shortly before finals.

Y/N scowled. She wasn’t having it. She didn’t need the incessant teasing on top of the news she had received that morning.

“Oh c’mon, guys,” Mina nudged him, “Leave her alone. Can’t you tell she’s in a bad mood?”

Jack scoffed, “Why’s that? JP forgot your coffee this morning? Or not enough kisses on the cheek?” That was another new behavior Jinyoung had picked up. When they would leave lunch or study group, he’d sneak a quick peck on the cheek before swiftly leaving. It had taken her by surprise to say the least.

“He’s not my boyfriend.” Y/N ground out, rather angrily, while avoiding the real question. She’d rather deal with their teasing.

“He sure acts like it, though.” Gray shrugged.

“Well, he’s not!” Y/N snapped, standing from the table to leave. “We did have sex. Happy to hear that? It was great, and he keeps acting like he wants more only to turn around and remind me and everyone around us that we are, in fact, not together. So if you could kindly fuck. off. That’d be great!” And with that, Y/N had stormed out of the library. She hadn’t even noticed Jinyoung there as she rushed out, her shoulder bumping into him. She simply muttered out an “excuse me” and continued on her way, tears forming in her eyes.

He approached the table, unsure of everyone’s shocked faces. “What’s going on? Why was Y/N about to cry?”

Mina looked at the boys disappointed, but they just shook their heads and looked back to their books.

This is why Navier is still my favourite female lead out there and she's superior than others.

All these other leads, especially the villainess reincarnated FLs always falls for the dudes that were ignoring them, belittled them or killed them. Like why? Have some self respect girl. They should have loved your all aspects. Not the modified version of you. The carefree, the immature, the adoring, the temper throwing, quick to anger version too. Cause they themselves have the same qualities times ten.

They're all bratty, catty boys but if the FL act like that, she isn't worthy of them 😠

Navier doesn't take bs from anyone. She'd throw back the insults in return and doesn't forget or forgive.

I'm pretty sure now that the writer of remarried empress got fed up with the trope and wrote a character like Navier to deflect all that.

Can't blame them. I have dropped many webnovels cause the FL starts strong then slowly develops feeling for the asshole who basically humiliated her, verbally abused her, threatened to kill her. Like screw them all. Ugh.

Edit: Spoke to soon. Dropped the manhwa cause instead of leaving Sovieshu, she got kicked out by him. And guess what she does next? Marries her stalker. I've dropped this manhwa.
