This has certainly been the lowest point of this creative endeavor. ― I knew it was only a matter of time before the series reached this point.

Betrayal of Dignity Volume 1 Novel Review

May 22, 12:00 korean novels

If you aren’t a fan of jerk romantic interests, I’d recommend looking for a different book. ― This is a beautifully written and well-translated book about an absolute horror show of a man.
