Long After the Ending — Chapter 9

Readers are absolutely loving the vibe in Long After the Ending Chapter 9! The slow and sweet development between the main leads is getting a lot of love. Everyone thinks they are adorable together 🥰, enjoying how their relationship is building slowly and how the chapter beautifully touches upon their past traumas, showing how they're both scarred in different ways.

Many found the main characters' conversations super relatable and fun, especially the moment when our FL apparently joined the "brotherhood" 😂. The ML's internal struggle with the idea of "practicing" romance while trying not to fall for her definitely didn't fool anyone – readers are collectively saying, "Yeah, sure buddy!" and finding his blushing moments utterly endearing. Some also related hard to his 'hate-reading' tendencies towards certain romance tropes, even critiquing how unrealistic some romantic gestures are in real life!

However, the original pair, Crown Prince Lian and Astel, still drew strong negative reactions from some readers. There's a lingering feeling that they were wrong for cheating on the original Elena while Lian was engaged, with some commenters feeling strongly that they were the cause of her becoming a 'villainess' and expressing significant dislike or even hate towards them for their past actions, wishing they had apologized sincerely or handled the situation differently from the start.
