Ok. I just finished the novel. I was SUPER excited about this novel when I first came across it. First and foremost, the translations was nice, clean and easy to read. Thank you translators and team. Now for the novel itself. I was DISAPPOINTED. I believe it was due to the synopsis and the beginning chapters… I was expecting a cool, analytical and fighting type of MC. I felt it fell short and nowhere near that. She was AMAZING in the beginning of the chapters where she used her analytical abilities but somewhere along the way it felt like she lost that? I thought she would be a stronger and more self-aware type of MC. What do I mean by that? Not only was she unable to analyze her own situation, she didn’t try to improve herself as a precaution. I can slightly grant it that she may have unconsciously been running away from her past but WHY in all the danger and glimpses of her past shown that things were dangerous and SHE DID NOT PREPARE AT ALL? It didn’t seem to fit the character she portrayed when introduced and certainly not in the synopsis. She acted very unorganized and impulsive. Have you ever watched one of those films where you “yell” at the character that goes towards some place “suspicious” out of curiosity without any self-protection? That’s how the MC started to be seen in my opinion in later chapters! She acted like two different people. The following is the basic on why I felt disappointed but this may contain some spoilers. So read at your own risk: 1. The synopsis stated she knows how to fight so you expect there would be some exciting moments, right? There was NO such type of fighting until a VERY SHORT bash the bad guy and escape moment at the end of the of the novel. I understand that she has amnesia and if she only had “light” training in fighting I could accept her being unable to fight. BUT! Her past indicated that she had “hell” training! Even if her mind forgot, her BODY should have a memory of it. It is similar to when you are distracted while driving (not a good thing, I know. LOL) and you automatically take a road only because you have done it so many times! I have always understood that when fighting, your body may very well “remember” on how to do it instinctively if it is “harshly” ingrained onto it and considering she was beaten to hell and back when she was young, her body should have remembered! But did that ever come out throughout the story? NO! 2. When she got into some dangerous situation (serial killer moment, almost raped and kidnapped), she NEVER initiated to carry something for self-protection or even learn self-defense! This still didn’t change even when the ML suggested that she should learn the self-defense after being almost raped! Hello! The MC was in a COMA due to all the injuries she had. After encountering more dangerous situation, you would think like, “yeah, I need to be more cautious cause my luck seems to SUCK”!! Nothing like that happened. It was made worse when she heard she was taken away as a child by the MAFIA! It was a HUGE HINT here on why she was so messed up and in a coma right!?!? Where is her “analytical” mind on this?!?!? But nothing was done! She just continued on with no real planning!!! 3. The ML seemed to fit his character a lot better than the MC. He was emotionally scarred when he was a child by his parents so it made sense why he is so closed up and cold. Only when he met the MC did he start opening up and even when he started to “explode” and seem “unreasonable”, it still made sense since he has NEVER come out of his self-isolation and this was his very “first real” relationship that he was being completely open with his inner self. Other relationship was all cold. 4. The MC is somewhat in a similar situation “emotionally” with the ML. So I guess I can’t pick too much on it but I can’t agree with the way she handles it. An example is at the end where she just takes off to give each other some space and THERE WAS NO PREPARATON FROM HER? As someone with her past history, she should know how dangerous it is and preparation should be key! But nope. There she goes, almost dying at the end so that they can finally have some forced happy ending….and it was certainly a bit abrupt of an ending. No I love you, no glimpse on how they plan their life together or how others will react. *sigh* If this novel didn’t ask for SS and I didn’t have any expectations after reading the synopsis, maybe I wouldn’t have taken it so hard. Well, this was only my opinion. Hope others would have enjoyed more than I was able to. I just felt it was a real pity since I felt there was so much more potential then it was shown.
