Isn't the web novel the original draft?the Web novel hasn't gotten there yet, but every tenth chapter or so revisits her with her life wrecked bemoaning her stupidity. You'd think she had eaten a dozen new-born babies rather than being a kid who had totally messed up. But the immature fan base want to see her skin peeled from her while awake.
I mean, that's the question isn't it?Umm excuse me but why do you wait kissing from mc? Isnt it something to do you both agree before doing (well that shit just stole her lips that doesnt count), it just means she says he was boring but it shows she didnt try anything too.And honestly i cant give my limited empathy to a fictional cheater character, even author gave up about redemption for her not my problem. People are free to want a redemption for her but it wont come from me bc im not interested, it could have been different if she chose to come clean before it escalated to the point he wanted to die. You all are forgetting about the fact he almost died bc of her since mc is fine later on but that doesnt mean it changes what she did in my eyes. You can cheat its fine, you can just fck his heart but if you fck his life completely too and dont take responsibility for what u did, there will be no empathy from anyone. Am i harsh? I agree that she is kind of a victim too but its %30 her fault for almost killing him and she didnt even go to jail? If we count her as victim then that shitty guy also a victim of someone else since he get manipulated. Maybe bc she finally confessed what happened they didnt held her as guilty but i cant forget the fact she almost killed him. That point is the most important imo.
Nicely done, author probably left it for our imagination but it seems it feels unfinished bc of that for you and i agree on that. I dont care if its good or bad an official ending for her would be good.I mean, that's the question isn't it?
There is no redemption for her, she lost everything one can possibly lose, she is a husk completely hollowed out by the guilt and the consequences of her actions. What is left to take from her but her life? And what life even is that? She is just existing at this point, based on what I can glean and it's been that way for a while. Everytime the story goes back to her, it's to show how deep in the gutter she is, with no way out.
Where are we going with her? Is she just meant to exist in a constant state of guilt until she can't take it anymore? Should she just awkwardly be around to be reminded of what she denied herself each time she sees Eiji and Ai together? Should she go rot forever in jail? Remember that she is a teenager. A shitty, idiotic, selfish teenager, but a teenager nonetheless, and one who is aware of how hard they fucked up and cannot escape that reality as everything around her reinforces how much all of this is due to her hubris.
Personally, it's because of how far she drove Eiji down the path that I wonder what is being said here. Is it okay if she gets driven all the way through that path because she is guilty and everyone knows it? Will it be justice if she ends up on the rooftop like Eiji did but there is no Ai for her and she goes through with it because she has nothing else left for her? She can't even "blissfully" live out her days as some douche playboy's mindless sex pet, she is fully aware of her situation and her role in it.
This is not about sympathy or anything like that (at least for me), I couldn't care less if she gets torn to pieces or whatever. This is such a unique position in a story, and I am just very curious to see what the author (and the audience) deems appropriate as a conclusion.
But I have yapped enough about something I could not even be bothered to read myself so I will just peace out and come check back in a few weeks/months to see where it all goes.
"Nothing of value was lost." - future me when this happensThis isn't even ragebait yet.
The real ragebait is when it gets picked up by a publisher half way through and gets nuked from all free sites.
I can see why it won awards, this shit can happen really badly its almost comicalHere Continued Spoilers from Light Novel Volume 2, Don't click if you don't want to see spoilers
Satisfying? Yes of course, I also very satisfied too### Ichijou Ai's Story
★ Ai's parents got married mainly for family connections. Her dad wanted the Ichijou family name (which was famous), and her mom agreed to bring honor to her family. They actually loved each other since childhood, though.
★ Ai’s parents always cheered for her school successes. But one vacation day, her dad canceled last minute for work. Ai was upset, but her mom drove them alone for "family time."
★ In a tunnel, a landslide crushed their car. Ai woke up trapped, hearing her mom groan in pain. Her mom urged Ai to escape: "Find help! Don’t worry about me!"
★ Rescuers pulled Ai out but couldn’t save her mom. At the hospital, Ai learned her mom died. Her dad became cold and distant.
★ Media called Ai the "Miracle Child," but jealous classmates spread awful rumors: "She lived because her mom died for her."
★ Heartbroken and bullied, Ai moved to a faraway high school. Alone in her despair, she almost jumped off the school roof—but Eiji saved her, risking his own life. His kindness made her fall for him.
### Miyuki's Mom Confronts Her
★ At the hospital, Kondo’s dad (a rich official) offered Miyuki’s mom "hush money" for the love-hotel scandal. She refused angrily, feeling insulted. He left cash secretly anyway.
★ Miyuki’s mom stared at her, disappointed: "Why cheat on Eiji? Do you like stealing boyfriends?" Miyuki stayed silent, too ashamed to answer. Her mom sent her home immediately.
### Endou Kazuki’s Revenge Plan
★ Endou (Kondo’s past victim) wasn’t satisfied after getting Kondo arrested. He wanted to destroy Kondo’s life completely.
★ Years ago, Kondo stole Endou’s girlfriend, Eri—a top student who became obsessed with Kondo. She dumped Endou, ruined her grades, and got kicked out of her home. Endou dropped out of school for a year until Eiji helped him recover. Now, he’d protect Eiji at all costs.
★ Endou anonymously faxed scandal photos of Kondo/Miyuki to the school and soccer club. He left copies near the clubroom, smirking as panic spread.
★ When his friend Satoshi asked if he needed help, Endou brushed him off—but knew Satoshi suspected his revenge plot.
### Soccer Club Panic (Watanabe’s View)
★ The team found scandal photos before a big match: Kondo/Miyuki at the love hotel + Kondo’s arrest. They realized they’d bullied innocent Eiji based on lies. Fear spread—they’d get expelled!
★ Kondo walked in, and Watanabe yelled: "Explain this!" Kondo lied ("Not me!"), then boasted: "You can’t win without me!" He even bragged, "My dad’s an official—nothing will happen to me!"
★ They lost badly. Trust shattered, the team blamed each other for the photo leak.
### Endou’s Next Move
★ Watching the soccer team lose, Endou felt satisfied but planned more. He knew Kondo would seek comfort with another girl—likely Eri (Endou’s ex).
★ Endou photographed Kondo entering Eri’s house and sent it to Miyuki.
### Miyuki’s Regret
★ Miyuki missed Eiji terribly. She told herself the fling with Kondo was "just a high school thing" and dreamed Eiji would take her back after graduation.
★ When caught cheating, she picked Kondo to avoid losing both boys.
★ But after getting photos of Kondo with Eri, Miyuki finally saw the truth: Kondo played her. She ignored his calls.
### Eri’s Breaking Point
★ Kondo ruined Eri’s life. She was a star student until he seduced her. She dumped Endou (her childhood sweetheart), failed school, and got disowned by her family—all for Kondo.
★ Seeing photos of Kondo with Miyuki—wearing her necklace—Eri snapped. She decided to end her life… but first, she’d drag Kondo down with her.
### Ai vs. Miyuki Showdown
★ After learning how badly Miyuki hurt Eiji, Ai confronted her: "You broke Eiji so much he almost killed himself!"
★ Miyuki cried, "I never stopped loving Eiji! Kondo was a mistake!"
★ Ai fired back: "Your lies almost destroyed him." Shocked, Miyuki sobbed apologies.
★ Later, Ai saw Eiji reject Miyuki coldly: "I love someone else now." Relieved, Ai ran to Eiji afterward.
### Teacher Takayanagi’s Investigation
★ Mr. Takayanagi got anonymous photos of Kondo/Miyuki. He met the principal, vowing to protect Eiji and find the sender.
★ He recognized Eiji in a viral video where two teens saved an old man. Tracking down the YouTuber, he learned police had the full video—proving Eiji was attacked by Kondo while trying to talk to Miyuki.
★ Enraged, Eiji’s mom filed a police report against Kondo.
### School Assembly Explosion
★ At a school meeting, the principal announced:
- ⚠️ Bad news: Police are investigating violence against a student (Eiji).
- ✨ Good news: Eiji and Ai will get bravery awards for saving a life!
★ Students were shocked—how could a "hero" be a "bully"?
★ Miyuki fainted from guilt. Kondo fled the gym. Teacher Takayanagi thought: Running makes you look guiltier.
★ In the nurse’s office, Miyuki confessed everything to Takayanagi: the cheating, the lies, causing Eiji’s bullying and near-suicide.
### Social Media Justice
★ Ai posted online: "You all know who the real liar is now."
★ After Miyuki’s fainting and Kondo’s escape, students finally believed Eiji. Former classmates defended him: "He was always kind!"
### 🌟 End Notes:
- Secret Mastermind: The lit club president is pulling Kondo’s strings (foreshadowed!).
- Endou’s New Hope: His childhood friend Yumi (who stood by him after Eri’s betrayal) still loves him. They reunited.

Oh, yeah, definitely. Once she gave that up, too, they certainly had sex at every opportunity. It just isn't clear when, but definitely well before the breakup.it felt more like they did have sex all the time and he asked that in the bed too. so it seemed like she still wants him as boyfriend but cant give up sex so she turned into a pet? well even if its not like that since she choose to stay silent about him not being abusive which almost made him sui himself at the rooftop just bc she didnt want to get bullied instead, shows that she is unsaveable. bc thats not random guy you dated that was your 10 years childhood friend you probably know his family too, like wtf. also i got spoilers from wn readers and i dont like how it goes too bc late help doesnt mean anything to me.
Unfortunately, you know that doing that will get you in even more trouble. They were already able to convince everyone that he is evil to an unrealistic degree, so they would absolutely be able to twist that as proof of how bad you are.The issue was he didn't just start a fight with the NTR guy. After getting slugged like that in public its fucking personal. All you gotta do is lunge for the knees and take him to the ground. Piece of shit deserves worse.
