The only reason this is a high rating is because the translation quality & stability of updates, otherwise it'd be the lowest score. I've been keeping up with the current updates (don't ask me why) but I want to save others from falling into the trap of investing time/money in a story that doesn't deserve it. There's a lot of chapters that feel repeated because it's just the characters saying/thinking things they've already said. So, it feels like a scam to pay to read something that adds nothing new to the story. Aside from the way they met, there's nothing really to dislike about ML - he values FL & does everything in his power for her. Because of what FL has experienced, she's a character that needs to rely on others to the point of not being able to do anything for herself. It's not until around the 2000ish chapters that she starts to speak out/try to solve things herself (though she's still using the backing of others) but there was no good development for that so it seems a bit out of character for her. Her brother is a loyal to her too so that's nice, but it's silly how his true identity just so happens to still leave her with a connection to her. Also, the novel begins with him needing surgery & 2000ish chapters later & he still hasn't had it yet. I also don't like how he never showed signs of liking this one character (whose family doesn't have a good relationship with FL) but suddenly he does like said character. As for FL's friend, I'm sorry but she's annoying & it's ridiculous that she just so happens to end up having a relationship with the person she does (who happens to be much older & that's whatever but it feels sick as she just turned of legal age). The "love rivals" pose no actual threat to the relationship & serve as nothing but waste of chapters, often repeating the same schemes/conversations over & over again. I like ML's grandmother but his mom is a fool, to put it nicely, stubbornly acting like a child even though she knows her sons/family will not budge on their stances regarding the relationships. & one of the most irritating things about this story is how a certain character will get badly exposed (to the point of being a social outcast) yet somehow they manage to survive, even though the story made it seem impossible. Even after the things they've done, they still hold a high level though they shouldn't based on the writing, it's like the writer made everyone have amnesia.

Totally agree with this review. I've only read up till 300+ chapters and already felt that annoyance. ML is great and all but FL is too useless. What I hate the most in reading romance novels is having an FL that is too dependent on ML and they have no other qualities except for their ethereal face and their so call "kind" personality and their dumb luck in everything. It's akin to having a bimbo that you just can't get rid off throughout your life. So yeah, I might be dropping off this novel until I have the mood to read it again god-knows-when. Translation is good though and that's the only plus for this novel.
I think I dropped it shortly after writing that review. It doesn't get better so I think it's better to spend time on a story that you actually like.
