The comment made by Noobzilla made me realize why I was enjoying this story in the beginning, yes, it is like the shoujo version of Cheese in the Trap, and I LIKED IT A LOT. But then, in this story the misunderstanding between the characters grows and grows and everything seems absurd because, even in Cheese in the Trap, the misunderstanding was more, well, understandingly.
There, the FL knew nothing about the MC and vice versa, but as time goes on we see how things happen and how prejudice is born between them, and is believable.
But in this story, it's just ... MAN, FL, PLS THINK. You have been with ML all your life, yes, he did some shit even in his childhood, and most of the time he was not being a good friend (and he had reasons for that, which is not an excuse, but is again, understandable. ) Still, if you only THINK and really analyze the situation, you could at least have some doubts about "Is he really bad?"
Of course, ML does not help the situation, with, not talking and explaining things, but he is like that, due to the environment he grew up in, he is afraid to speak the truth and with this, lose FL's trust and friendship. Everything is really a mistake, but it's on such a, so unrealistic level in my opinion.
Besides, Alice and Aaron don't really help the situation. I just can't seem to like Alice. Yes, I understand her and her fears, but I still can't agree with how she acts and how she's turning FL against Nocton without trying to understand?
IDK, this review is a mess of my emotions.
Aaron is also a coward who looks like he doesn't know what to do with his life, his problems could be solved very easily if they just talked. I don't like to be comparing, even if I'm doing so...but again, in Cheese in the Trap, even why they couldn't just sit and talk made sense (due to the fact that FL was ignored several times when starting a conversation, here Aaron had so many opportunities to talk to Alice and explains, yet he don't, and end up using the FL for his owns selfish reasons.)
I also find FL a bit hypocritical in many ways, first for the reasons of becoming friends with Nocton, these being, avoiding her own death, but then also for criticizing him when HE IS trying everything to stay alive, even doing some gray moral acts. And really, really, I can't understand how she can't see that he was not being loved in that family because ... well, she knows, but 😕?
in the flashback in which he is sick because of the holy water, we see that she realized that his mother was making him a little nervous. She even tries to help and that leads Nocton to do the hypnosis that, HE DIDN'T WANT TO USE, even though he was suffering a lot, that was his last resort.
And again, his promise to not kill anyone, because of FL is just ... so pure. Idk, please, someone give this guy therapy and lots of love. IT'S JUNG ALL OVER AGAIN, BUT WITH SHITTIER PARENTS.
Overall, I really like this series and the twists and turns of the story. But, we are in 30 chapters and things do not seem to develop. We are in a circle of blaming Nocton repeatedly ...
I will continue to read, but I think I will wait for more chapters to come out first.
