An empty classroom..
A warm-colored sunset illuminates the two people inside.
[Ed, I've actually liked you for a long time...]
A blonde female student confessing her shy feelings.
A red blush bloomed on her face, where excitement and worry coexisted.
And hanging on the ear of the male protagonist who turns around at her confession.
[Huh? What did you say?]
A white Bluetooth earphone.
"Ah, fuck."
I've been had.
I kept rubbing my eyes in disbelief at the unbelievable scene.
But cruelly, the content on the screen didn't change at all.
I had my suspicions all along.
But to think it would actually drift into a harem.
With that scene just now, my suspicions turned into certainty.
The author decided to change this webtoon into a harem.
Otherwise, there's no reason to waste the most important confession scene in a webtoon like this.
It was clearly an ordinary romance fantasy webtoon at first.
The sweet, heart-fluttering atmosphere between the two was satisfying enough, and that's how we arrived at the final chapter of the story.
The two who finally confirmed their feelings for each other should have started dating properly.
That's what should have been depicted.
But.
Suddenly, new female characters began appearing around the protagonist.
And the screen time of Elena, the heroine, started gradually decreasing.
But until then, I thought they were just supporting characters who would strengthen the relationship between the protagonist and Elena.
Something big is coming soon.
With that thought alone, I endured the meaningless episodes with other female characters.
And finally, the important confession scene that would mark the conclusion of the emotions between Elena and the protagonist that had been building since the first episode.
But here, out of nowhere, the protagonist pulls this idiotic move.
"Wait, wasn't this supposed to be a fantasy?"
Where the hell did that wretched Bluetooth earphone suddenly come from??
There are so many things I want to call out.
To think they'd put a Bluetooth earphone that was never even mentioned until now into the protagonist's ear.
Of course, there were many loose parts that showed whether the author had roughly constructed the world.
Despite being mentioned as a traditional fantasy, the designs of clothes and buildings appearing in the webtoon were extremely modern.
Even a world with air conditioners and refrigerators.
It's only because it was a romance genre where detailed world-building wasn't that important.
If it had been an ordinary fantasy webtoon, its ratings would have plummeted long ago.
Still, the only reason I ignored such aspects and continued reading this webtoon was for one reason.
The heroine, Elena, was exactly my type.
And I wanted her to be happy.
But.
"You're backstabbing me like this?"
I rubbed my tired eyelids.
Let's calm down first.
The content of this episode isn't over yet.
Right.
I'm already furious, but.
If they handle it properly now, I might let it slide as a simple mishap.
Continuing to scroll down while suppressing my anger.
[It's nothing.]
"Shit."
Please stop this nonsense.
[It wasn't anything important.]
You've got to be fucking kidding me!!!
Seeing Elena's expression as she forced a smile, I jumped up from my seat.
I thought I'd hit rock bottom.
But what awaited me was an even deeper abyss.
Author, you fucking bastard!
Did you really choose this kind of development??
Arghhhhhh!
Unable to contain my boiling anger, I grabbed the back of my neck.
But Elena on the screen wore a heartbreaking expression.
This is why I hate harems.
They toy with people's hearts and make the characters unhappy.
Except for the protagonist who receives everyone's love.
A world where no one is happy.
Harems are too cruel for someone like me who gets overly immersed.
If it were a harem where everyone gets along sweetly, I might understand.
But such harems are rare to begin with.
Most of the time, the women fight among themselves.
Or some characters just fade into the background.
The feeling of watching the character I'm rooting for slowly being forgotten is indescribable.
I should have just stuck to reading shounen manga as usual.
I started reading this because I was in the mood for some sweet romance after a long time, but what kind of misfortune is this?
I happened to discover this webtoon while passing by and started reading it after being captivated by Elena's appearance...
The result was the worst.
The author has shattered my expectations for a pure love story that was clearly described in the work's description and tags.
If you were going to do this, you should have made it a harem from the beginning!
-I'm amazed by the author's drifting skills. If you retire and enter a racing competition, you'd probably win. ^^
Suppressing my anger as much as possible, I opened the comment section and wrote a comment.
I tried to moderate my tone to avoid getting sued.
It's far from enough to express my current feelings.
But if I don't do at least this much, my head might explode.
But as my excitement subsided, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.
"What if I get transmigrated or reincarnated?"
A development that frequently appears in popular web novels these days.
It's a completely unrealistic thought, but for some reason, I start to feel uneasy.
No way, that's impossible.
...right?
Actually, this doesn't even qualify as a malicious comment.
Of course, there's no possibility of that happening, but I still feel an inexplicable unease.
"...Let's delete it."
I finally decided to delete the comment.
I immediately went back to the comment section.
But it seemed many people agreed with my comment, as the number of likes was already rising rapidly.
In normal circumstances, I should have been happy.
But I couldn't just be happy.
Because I might become the author's sacrifice if they find fault with me.
I hurriedly deleted the comment.
"Phew..."
Am I safe?
I sighed in relief after confirming that the comment was successfully deleted.
But then.
Wait, why am I suddenly feeling like this?
My vision became dizzy, and my head started throbbing.
Wait, could this be...
"Ah, fuck."
With that short scream, I lost consciousness and collapsed.
