Ok, I know Baraha most likely isn’t the ML, right? But DANGIT I LIKE HIM! I mean, I still prefer Yurien, but DANGIT I LIKE BARAHA TOO!! HE'S TOO ADORABLE! 😭 If the author doesn’t give him a DECIDEDLY HAPPY ending, I’MMA RIOT!

This man will never be the male lead, but I wonder if the real one will show as much character as he did in this one chapter in the next 20.

And so, she continues to play dumb. I was looking for a manhwa presenting a swordswoman as a MC, but if the whole purpose of the story is how she continues to play dumb until the end of times, i will probably seek a different story elsewhere. From my experience, the type of story i came to appreciate most lately, are actually chinese ones. Only those shirk pretty much all the tropes i can't suffer anymore.

And gosh, i am a guy, and let me tell you... the cliched nice manly guy who sees his protective instincts enabled by a girl next to him, really has grown old. Especially when said girl is much stronger than him but plays dumb for the sake of the author trying to make teenage girls among the readers squeal and swoon over the 'nice protective manly guy'. When you are a grown man though, you know that we never behave like that: just assuming that the girl is a weak creature than needs to be protected and playing the muscledheaded type of cringe character. Guys shut up until they are needed, they don't show off all the stupid things they assume like he does. Girls, this kind of guy does not exists, and for damn good reasons.
