Status Updates From 희란국 연가 [Heerangug Yeonga] (...

finally finished “book 1” (of the original two book split)!
took me forever… this is the longest book i’ve ever read in korean.
things are picking up now though!

jahyun is incredibly unlikeable but it takes talent to create such a disgusting character.
soru… can we PLEASE stop infantilizing her.

TLDR: good writer, interesting korean folklore + dark fantasy worldbuilding, TERRIBLE main characters

oops accidentally spoiled myself by looking up the webtoon... turns out i've tried reading the webtoon before but DNF'd it, no wonder the story felt oddly familiar

the big plot twist might not be as impactful anymore BUT i've been hating the husband so far (pedo vibes + anger issues = yuck) so i'm happy with the direction the story will take

finally continuing this book... and remembering why it put me in such a bad slump 😭
why must we compare the female lead to a child every couple paragraphs bro 😭💔 if i wanted to read about pedophiles i would read lolita or something 🤢

Sure so maybe I cried a little over this stupid novel, but I’m still gonna give it two stars when I’m done unless she hooks up with Yato in the end amen 🫶

Jahyeon me estabas agrandando y la cagas, hasta creí que el spoiler que me hice era falso y resultó verdad. Pésimo servicio, Soru vete de ahí y se feliz.

Me ha tocado leer vidas trumaticas y sad de protagonistas, pero se pasaron con Soru.
