Er...that's the whole point of love triangles isn't it? A third wheel thrown in just cos.
I mean I get it but not here because the reincarnation was random to even add here. Usually love triangles have the MC developing and participating with both but Jooin never did with Cain and usually the 2nd ML will serve some kind of purpose or "lesson" for the MC but it didn't for ytc.
I disagree. The author can make the ML2 as strong or as weak as they want. Fact is, they NEVER get the girl in this trope. 'Nough said.
Nah there are stories where the second lead wins but they rare. We still fools for getting our hopes up doe
Yup, couldn't have said it better myself!
Cain is an extra his purpose is be an obstacle between Y&J. He is a living proof that jooin feelings with yahwi will never change
I agree with Godzilla cause I get what they meant, I also made a topic where I wonder the same thing! I think the author didn't handle the characters and the story well... Usually in love triangles you already understand from the beginning who the main couple will be, and the third wheel is clearly added just to create suspense. In this case we have Jooin who strongly rejected Yahwi for more than 60 chapters, meanwhile he bonded more and more with Cain. Then we have a thorough story of their tragic past life that makes you believe they are destined, and then suddenly he ends up with Yahwi after a time skip? They literally just had a toxic relationship in the first 30 chapters but that's it. So why did the author give Cain's character so much importance and such a development to just end things that way? I swear this ending shocked me.
There aren't any rules as to how you incorporate your third wheel. So, the author is entitled to do whatever they want with the third wheel. Some choose the weak impact and others choose a profound impact on the story like this story and "Love or Hate".
Ofc the author's entitled to do whatever they want, for all i care they can add their messed up rape scenes too, but then they also gotta handle the criticism they'll face
Trust me, the author doesn't care about what you or anyone thinks. The popularity of this story (negative or not) is money in the bank for them. That's what it's all about. 'Nough said.
I don't think you understand. My problem is that you can literally take Cain out of the story and it would not actually affect the story itself. That's why I find his part unnecessary. This comes down to the writing process. You say he's an obstacle but he is not because Jooin was the one purposely avoiding yahwi due to yahwi own actions. This had nothing to actually do with Cain. Cain was simply just there. For no reason. If you're gonna make a love triangle at least add purpose and to where if you removed 'said character' it would affect the story.
My bad I mistook another comment mention of obstacle as yours. My apologies
Yes this. You said exactly what I'm thinking and was about to say
Exactly. They're allowed to write what they want but that doesn't mean it's gonna avoid criticism. Reader will be expressive in what they read.
A love triangle is just that, 2 main characters and a third wheel. There are no rules as to how the third wheel is used, how much or little they affect the plot. The fact is that there has a to be a third wheel. If you remove the third wheel as you're saying, then, it's not a love triangle any more. So, the aurhor has done nothing wrong with their plot because it suits the trope.
oh girls dont try to reason with these people lol its not worth the bother. they have a very narrow way of looking at things and tbe only thing that matters to them is that yahwi is endgame and everyone who didn't like that is wrong or stupid. youll never convince them because they have 3 comebacks and stick to it lol
you are so right. like right now it actually seems like they gace the reincarnation backstory to cain so that they domt have to write an actual personality for him lol. and no a good love triangle makes both characters sort of have a purpose to the story, which cain didnt really have, because like you said, jooin rejected and distanced himself from yahwi all pn his own and not because of yahwi.
I MEAN CAIN
I agree with you. It's as if Cain was meant to be a filler character than an actual third-wheel character. Removing him from the story wouldn't handicap the story itself.
I'm not saying that Cain was a bad character, what I'm pointing out is the fact that the author did not take advantage of him, as a second lead character, to create intrigue/suspense in the reader's mind whenever he was absent from many chapters. And, I agree that the reincarnation story was far-fetched.
It kind of feels like this started manifesting more after the hiatus. Where the author was taking more advantage of Cain to boost Yahwi's insecurity or fear of losing Jooin. For Yahwi, having Cain around Jooin felt like losing what was supposed to belong to him. So the author showed that which gave Cain an important role in the story. The role of a healer or a savior rather than a breaker or an abuser. But then, after the hiatus, all of that was gone. The story became separated into two stories. One of Yawhi and Jooin and another of Cain and Jooin. In both stories, Cain and Yahwi are the ML characters. That's why if you remove Cain from the story, it does not impact Yahwi and Jooin's side of the story.
But basically the point is that me and many other people feel tricked, indeed I've noticed that many people are unhappy with this ending... The author literally made us believe that Jooin and Cain were soul mates with that deep and tragic backstory, I mean, they were able to reunite as humans in another timeline, I was sure they were destined or something! Also cause Jooin bonded a lot more with Cain than with Yahwi, who got rejected for most of the story because he was toxic all the time. And then the author made Jooin come back to the guy who only hurt him, so of course I wonder what's the point of all this, cause I feel upset :') Anyway it's just an opinion, like you have yours, and the author of course can do whatever they want with their story, I just wanted to show my disappointment
After chapter 100 I'm starting to wonder why Cain was even added to the story. It seems a bit unnecessary now. Would've best if his character was saved for a non love triangle.
