honestly I've read the whole web novel and was wishing the "tsundere" girl (she's actually abusive, shouldn't even be called a tsundere) would get her redemption arc and be better then she realizes her mistakes or something and get him back but nah. She just decends further into more manipulative and abusive stuff while dude just suddenly had a transformation and everyone starts liking him. Basically a boring wish fulfillment story.
Guy's surprisingly great at track and fun to be around so he becomes everyone's friend and wins the sports festival. Glasses girl has always loved him because she noticed how kind he was due to him always...watering plants™. Ex does increasingly batshit things (stalking, false bullying accusations against glasses girl, kidnapping) until the MC just yells at her real good and then she cries and apologies for all the bad shit she's ever done and acknowledges that she is twisted and wrong. Glasses girl heals MC's trauma with love. The end.
The unrealistic part here is how easy the dude detached himself. He acts like someone who's mentally healthy, not someone who grew up with wrecked self esteem.
Also mc is good at everything, he is incredibly handsome and charismatic.
On top of all of this, a cute girl falls in love with him because he...watered plants™...
Look who’s talking 💀 guess ain’t no one ever taught her to treat others the way you want to be treated, or well, even just regular old decency in general. Her friends ain’t any better, ngl.
”After all/Do you know how much I’ve done for you?”
Author really wrote the most unlikable person, huh? Even if they do genuinely like MC, lol. If you’re tryna make them dependent on you or whatever, this is NOT the way to do it. Not that you should ever do that, but yeah… Lol.
Ignoring her messages…wasn’t she blocked?? Either way, guess that still makes sense… technically.
No one can change in a day, so he’s so cool for taking the step to change that much. That manipulative bishsss I hate her how can she be so cruel in that young age? I hope only good things will happen to him now (of course after cutting off that bish completely)
Exactly!! As he said, he literally came out of his shell. Not exactly instant, but pretty much considering the transition. Very much a role model for many—got that confidence that people aspire to have, lol.
Honestly deserved. Justified emotional damage dealt. One might argue it isn’t enough, but our MC obviously isn’t the type to dish that out themselves since they want nothing to do with them anymore. They’re as good as strangers for all he cares now.
Guessing she’s like that even when she was a child because of both her parents, possible misinterpretations of their words of advice, an inherently bad personality (or the potential to have one), and just falling so hard that they’re too far gone to actually change from that point onwards since no one called them out on their BS for all those years.
Hell yeah, good riddance we say!
To a prosperous life for our best boi MC!! 🥂👌✨.
Feel like she might try to do that herself, although I guess by they, you mean the author, in which case yeah. Could be written in a way that’s interesting though. Like maybe she’s been acting that way for so long that no matter how hard she tries to change, old and nasty habits keep bringing her back to where she started. I dunno. That’s also one way she could suffer. But yeah, MC deserves someone way better, ngl. Too wholesome for her, lol.
Ah, this makes me think how he got that confidence. Guess he just had enough and exploded, y’know?? And sure as hell it had all the time in the world to grow, lol. I’m surprised he didn’t do more. The bottled up feelings burst the cork right off the bottle and into her face. (Not to toot my own horn, but like that analogy I just made.)
Honestly impressive regardless, since a lot of people can’t move on completely right away like he did when he blocked her.
Always. Gotta love life-improvement stories that just get SO wholesome, lol. Even just the former bit makes it a worthwhile read most of the time, ngl. MC mental health after breaking up: 📈📈. Hers? 📉📉. But who cares about HER, amirite or amirite??
Legitimately human scum with a beauty filter on, icl tbh. Like damn. Guess they have their vulnerable moments and aren’t rude to everyone (like at the hospital), but that obviously doesn’t excuse her behaviour either way. Just because she can be polite, doesn’t mean she isn’t a bad person.
That, or just got her personality twisted at childhood and it only grew worse from there. Like, literally. This is NOT the assertive you wanna be going for.
Reminds me of my mother in how she is talking down the kid.
Seriously, I would prefer physical abuse over mental. Sure, physical leaves scars, both physical and mental, but pure mental abuse has this way of just... digging itself deep inside and gradually break down everything you are.
Ofc, mix of both is likely the worst and honestly, I don't wish such experiences on anyone.
Ah, I get what you mean.
Like physical is a combination of both, but basically distributed in a way where they both steadily and slowly increase, whereas the pure mental abuse is solely focused on said area, making it increase astronomically in a way where it can actually be debilitating. I think that’s what you’re getting at, anyways. But in general, the combination is often worse in real-world scenarios, yeah.

Straight up not even a tsundere atp. Sure, it might’ve been the original core building block of it all, but it just eventually got buried by all the shit she’s pulled.
A redemption arc would’ve been okay, depending on how they approached it, but getting back together? I feel that defeats the premise of the story. Maybe some melancholic reunion where he wishes her to find happiness elsewhere since he’d already moved on. That would’ve been cool to see, maybe.
Honestly bro deserves to be liked and fawned over after 13 years of hell, tbh. Get what you mean though—like how it could be interpreted as just lazy writing or whatnot, lol.
Confused at what you meant by how she apologized and acknowledged her actions, since earlier you said “nah” to realizing her mistakes. Could be that I’m just reading too far into it, but I dunno…
Guess you’re right in a way at the sudden 180°, since that seems kinda shocking to see, but I guess you could also just chalk that up to the shackles binding him finally being cut off in a way where he’s finally experiencing freedom. But yeah, by the way you’re describing things, I can see how it’d be odd how he just doesn’t acknowledge his past and/or it isn’t even mentioned often.
Feel like you’re reiterating some stuff from your spoiler message, which is fair since there’s other stuff to be said about it in a slightly different context, but y’know. Yeah, just watering plants CAN show some bits of a person’s character, but maybe not enough to actually have someone get a crush on you. Maybe too quick to fall in love for comfort, lol. Of course this is fiction though, so of course it’s possible, maybe.
Oh I'm def gonna enjoy this, my take on this is that she fed him all that bs for 13 yrs to make him dependent on her company, basically to fuck up his self esteem and isolate him from others
She really tried to monopolize MC, unfortunately for her he's actually attractive, which would probably explain why she made him grow out his hair like that, so the other girls wouldn't notice his actual looks
I can't wait to watch her sink into an abyss of insecurities
I mean, it makes sense, but they gotta realize that that also isn’t a great look for themselves either, no?? Not exactly “someone to depend on” material. More like she was going for “the only option for him to depend on”, if that’s what you meant, lol. But yeah, that shit’s messed up. Literally tried grooming someone older than her, basically.
I feel like to monopolize something, it has to be made public—but yeah—guess not. Doubt others would even say she’s “one of the hottest” in the school, but she probably said that since she knew she already did enough to the point where he wouldn’t bother asking, in which case, damn her for pulling that shit.
Found it interesting how she just knew he’d be a looker when he grew up to the point of mentioning it as far back as when they were kids. Probably not like it’s never been cut though, else it’d be way longer, lol.
Folks, if your partner doesn’t want anyone to know y’all are dating for reasons regarding popularity, dump their ahh. Should just embrace who they themselves are and disregard social boundaries like that in that way. In this case, less like she was ashamed and more so like she was trying to cover for the fact on why she didn’t want him telling anybody though. Don’t want him getting suspicious, especially in regards to the hair, basically, rip.
No, but yeah. That’d be satisfying to see for her. Getting all the bad karma she accumulated after all those 13 years, lol ngl.
Kind of makes sense since she started doing it to him young and before he’d supposedly had any other social interactions, but still, he DID realize she was just plain mean pretty early on even so. He ain’t dumb, lol. Not sure what her end-game was, but it sure as hell wasn’t going to end in marriage. Like, what DID she expect…?? Marry an abuser? Like seriously, c’mon. She ain’t the brightest bulb, huh?
But yeah, glad he managed to set himself free after he had enough and was at his breaking point. This could’ve gone an entirely different route if he did actually go past his breaking point and didn’t break out of his shell. I think you know what I mean by this.
Yeah… so much so that I wonder if she’s actually into him or not… or just insane and sadistic. Like damn.
Great start despite some rough edges and spoilers pointing out some of the not-so-satisfactory endings/outcomes and such. Can’t wait for the next one though, lol.
He’s her senpai?? Huh. Guess he was a year older then.
Look who’s talking 💀 guess ain’t no one ever taught her to treat others the way you want to be treated, or well, even just regular old decency in general. Her friends ain’t any better, ngl.
You mean leave him in the rain? 🙄
Author really wrote the most unlikable person, huh? Even if they do genuinely like MC, lol. If you’re tryna make them dependent on you or whatever, this is NOT the way to do it. Not that you should ever do that, but yeah… Lol.

Mhm, loving it too. That ease in to the more or less 180° vibe was smooth. Very nice.
Exactly!! As he said, he literally came out of his shell. Not exactly instant, but pretty much considering the transition. Very much a role model for many—got that confidence that people aspire to have, lol.

Don’t think she’s the latter, but agree with the former pretty much. Might be a tad bit drastic in terms of gore, but eh. No mercy, lol.
Mmmmm…silver perhaps??
Got the sheen and the shine of a newly unshackled dude enjoying his freedom and such, lol. Maybe, maybe, fr.
I mean, it makes sense, but they gotta realize that that also isn’t a great look for themselves either, no?? Not exactly “someone to depend on” material.

this progression is too fast, it is hard to believe that a hair cut would turn him into a extrovert angel, what about the 13 years of abuse? he should need time to interact normally with others specially girls
