DNF. Ang panget talaga ng story kahit nakakatawa humor ng main character. Also, sobrang problematic talaga ng male lead. Muntik nanaman akong magkaroon ng reading slump dahil dito. Haha

Dzuh maganda siya tsaka may tw naman na red flag mga ml sa series na to. Anyway gigil lang talaga ko kay Jonalyn 'di manlang nagpasuyo. Si Mayor naman in denial din. Bagay nga talaga sila, parehas na boang. Nakakairita lang na need niya pa talagang pagbabarilin si Jonalyn nung pinalayas niya sa mansion niya. Alam kong may problem din siya pero di deserve ni Jonalyn yun. Si Vaughn naman ahmmm siya na lang dapat binaril ni Mayor.

Pwede na.

1.5★

alam ko namang tanga si ayen dahil sa warning nung author, pero grabe, sobrang tanga niya 😭 natatawa lang ako sa ibang internal monologue ni ayen at kagagahan niya. pero overall talaga daming hole sa kwentong to wahahha pota tsaka walang grovelling kairita. di man lang naghirap si arken kay ayen hayop. tapos dagdag pa sa turn off ko sa storyng to ay ang pangit ng pangalan ng fl; jonalyn ampota ang bantot 😭

I picked this up because I was intrigued by the hype and the premise, but sadly, it wasn't my cup of tea. I almost DNF'ed this one, but since a lot of you requested a review, I pushed through, and honestly, it nearly put me in a slump.

The characters were infuriating.

The writing felt choppy, the characters came across as flat, and the drama was so over the top that it pulled me out of the story rather than pulling me in.

The dialogue also didn't feel natural, which made it harder for me to connect with the characters or care about what was happening.

They say this is tagged as dark romance, but to me, it really didn't read that way. It felt more like romance with suspense and heavy drama, so if you're expecting a true dark romance, you might come out disappointed.

I will say I admire the ambition behind the plot, but the execution just wasn't for me.

Still, that doesn't mean I'm closing the door on this author, I'll definitely check out her other works, since this one just wasn't my match.

— what worked for you might not work for me, and that's okay. we all experience books differently, and the more you read, the higher your standards can become. every story has its own audience, so let's respect each other's reviews. and just go be clear, my review is about the book, not the author. critiquing a story doesn't mean discrediting the hard work behind it.

Love,

i honestly like it, though it's kinda chaotic but i really love how they went back together after a year. and i love the way how Arken confessed his feelings to Ayen.
