Kahu the sudden 2nd ML Syndrome...

MangaAnger9 February 4, 2021 10:34 pm

I think his existence was quite unneccessary. I mean in the novel he is just there and stupidly loyal to FL who doesn't really appreciate that he was the only person who really cares about her and died while trying to find her in the original timeline...

Now I am pissed off... Why even bother introducing him at all???

    yea that pisses me off too, author probably put him there to use him as a tool to make ml jealous or be a stepping stone for ml and fl to get together. wish they stop adding love rivals for no reason LOL

    IKR in this case just 1 ml is fine. We don’t need someone as precious as Kahu to suffer from unrequited love, it’s too unfortunate. For the mc and ml love side characters will always have to suffer from this in these kinda of novels and manhuas.

    That is the problem. Probably because the chosen ML himself is so problematic that the author either has to introduce male antagonists who are cartoonish worse than manchild ML or the infamous wasted unappreciated better choice 2nd ML whose main purpose is to force ML to become a better lover/boyfriend because his positive existence pose a real threat.

    You know by introducing Kahu the author unintentionally demonstrate why Dylan is not a good catch/partner for Charlize.
    First of all it is quite bizarre that she ends up with the son of the emperor who made her into a sword suffering for hundreds of years. And second after the successful rebellion when she saw that Dlyan turns his father into the same immortal thing she became so terrified because she knows how horrible it is to be stuck forever as a sword.
    And when she wanted to leave Dylan for good and ran away he recaptured her and forces her to stay with him until she reciprocates his love for her...
    I don't know about you but that is just too messed up and unhealthy!

    And big pluspoint is... Lancelot is not a complete idiot/simp.
    He is very self-aware and self-reflective!
    You have to admire him that he let go of the original heroine on his own because he realized that she didn't appreciate him enough ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

    Yeah exactly, I mean he was the shadow emperor right? So he probably knew about her being turned into a sword right? And even still he didn’t do anything. I might be mistaken on this part because the emperor killed everyone involved in the process of her turning into a sword but I don’t think he would hide it from his descendants and the future kings. It would kinda make the whole thing pointless lol. Yeah in the it’s sort of the same cycle again. Stockholm syndrome, from what I’m guessing. She has no choice to love him or else he won’t let her go. Common trope which is disappointing.

    I mean...him being toxic isn't exactly surprising? I'm not saying its acceptable to be in an unhealthy, possessive relationship like that, however, he is literally a tyrant. He's been introduced as batshit insane from the start. The toxicity is just the cherry on top, compared to his manipulative nature. I'm not happy about how their relationship ends up, but it isn't a surprise.
