having an affair or sex in general is a foreign thing to most people i guess
Haha I think the fact that affairs are NOT foreign to people that has everyone bitter. We already know how much cheating and ntr stuff enrages people. As for the sex in general, I'm sure that's not what people are getting their panties in a twist for.
As for hating on Remi, I think it's misplaced. They should direct it towards Sachi. Sure Remi is manipulative, but everyone she makes a move on seems to be aware of that part of her personality. They know she is doing it to screw with them, and they go along with it anyway! Sachi could have said no a lot of times, but she didn't, so really, I was more disappointed in her. She even laughed at herself for pretty much ending up the same way as her ex boyfriend. Sachi was completely aware of what she was doing and she stayed with the intention of going along with the sex.
I think Remi has some ulterior motive that, in the real world, could have probably been solved in a more reasonable way, but of course we need dat manga drama. It would have been nice though if she wasn't the one behind EVERYTHING. Would be nice if some of the character development were spread out more evenly. Oh and it would be nice if Remi gets her own character development... I'm hoping that gets solved in the future chapters.
I think ending wise it'll still be better than Fragments of Love since you're already prepared for the train wreck. FoL was a good story overall, but it felt like such a bait and switch. FoL had a hopeful atmosphere around it, while this had a depressing air around it from the get go, so I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't end with happy rainbows everywhere. It's why I feel sorry for Ruki since she's so excited about love and like a puppy and I just want to hug her.
While I think that this isn't Shuninta's best work, I don't think it's that bad at all. The pacing is a little messy and I think the character interactions feel awkwardly forced, but it's not as all over the place as some of the other works uploaded on this site. It's still a fun read and I look forward to seeing what happens next. (Of course my opinions may all change in the last few chapters lol. Still plenty of opportunities to majorly screw up.)
