It seems pointless to "refute" this. Clearly, this story isn't meant for women, but for horny guys who like NTR.
Listen, I understand you feel some type of way and you're upset the story didn't go the way you wanted it to. I'm not sure what preconceived notions you had about the author. I genuinely don't care. It's "pointless" to argue anything because you and I don't contribute anything. We didn't pay for this so our voices are just going out to the void. We aren't reflected on the sales/success of this manhwa.

I'm referring to the pornhwa industry at large and that while, sure, this one may have been so superficial it appears to have been designed for the male gaze, it doesn't mean that rangrarii's exclusively working on projects that are catered to men, because her projects aren't necessarily on the platforms that do so.

Hell, the one time she WAS on toptoon, it got canned because the outline included a word that was "feminist/anti-men".

But this is clearly not going to go anywhere so... idk, i hope you have a nice day or something.

I liked this manwha more than I thought I would. Honestly the bad ending feels better for me, I mean everything was wrong, the manipulation, the NTR, drama, why would I expect a good ending from a story this toxic. Also Anna deserved a happy ending, and that was not with Lily

It's not like I didn't expect this from the start. I could even tell from the tittle. Lily of Valley, the not so special beauty.

All things considered, I thought this was a good ending for how the story went. Everything that Lily wanted was right beside her, the opportunity finally came to get out, and she said no. Now Anna has a chance for a good future and Lily... has her "love" haha.

This is just dumb. The plot, the characters, the setting, and the premise is just garbage. The exploration of the difference between lust and love is embarrassingly simplistic, with the most ridiculous character ever created - Lily.

All I can say is that Rangrarii should stick to making art. I have a lot more respect for authors after reading this.

Good art with a whatever story
I didn't like this authors other writing so my expectations were already pretty low anyway

Welp, there it is. The most typical NTR storyline ever. Lily even knew about the Duchess's debauchery, and she allowed herself to be manipulated by feelings of "love".

But, I have to call bullshit on the ending. Lily knew that her family's debt was paid off, and she could have gone home to repair her relationship with Anna. But, for some stupid bloody reason she thought she was abandoned by everyone.

This is why I can't stand NTR plots. There is always a moment where a smart individual should have realized that they were being manipulated and decides to go back to their loved ones who actually care, but, they end up deciding that to just stay with their abuser because they are "happy".

"Bad Thinking Diary" was so much better in handling the NTR plot that tried to worm its way into the story.

That was embarrassing and a complete waste of time. Rangrari failed at everything she tried to do here, which is impressive in its own way. The only way to enjoy this is to turn off your brain or not have much of one to begin with

I absolutely hate ntr. Trash for weirdos. I don't think Rose looks that much like the author. But there are some features that are similar, so there was probably some inspiration. The author is so weird. Anyway, Rose was clearly her favorite character. She was the only one the author consistently drew well from start to finish. Even the sex scenes with Rose were drawn better. But really, who the fuck makes a ntr story and then draws themselves into it? I can't wrap my head around that. You got issues lady.

The reason Anna can't enjoy sex is your typical bullshit manga psychology nonsense.
Otherwise I think all characters are pretty standard as far as characterizations go.
Fucking sad ending if this is the ending. I don't think Lilly deserves this. I don't think people deserve to suffer because they as individuals have the bad luck of not thinking in a way that produces the best results for everyone.
The Duchess just saw a cute girl that was easy to manipulate and had her fun.
Not Lilly's fault that she was easy pray and got Anna hurt in the process.
Blame it on the people who were in control and made poor decisions: Duchess and author. Not on the people who never had control.

Wonderful art and the story - while not my cup of tea - was executed fairly well.
The way I see it the MC had two bad choices. Either an unfulfilling platonic relationship or a purely physical one. She tried to turn the relationship with the maid into what she truly wanted and was refused. On the other hand the duchess promised her an ideal relationship. She should've asked if the orgies would stop once they are together, but that would've ruined the story flow. I can't blame her for choosing the duchess. At least there she had a glimmer of hope for getting her happy end.
