this kinda interesting. strong MC and strong arrogant ML just like penelope and calisto. ...

Aye no no no don't compare him with Calisto This ml is nothing like him not even close!

they are basically the same. calisto arrogant toward MC too. it's revealed he was inlove bcs it's already folding the thruth meanwhile this one is still started and the truth not being revealed yet. dont too biased bcs they have good arts

But they've different public image Callisto was known as tyrant even before fl met him and that's why he pretended to be arrogant and continued to tease Penelope not order her around rudely. This ml has no situation that force him to be this arrogant to fl and to keep interfering between her revenge. So no matter what they are very different both in attitude and situation. It's not bias these are facts.

u forgot this ML forced to be married with his sister to protect the "pure" blood. from here he has dull life already. and he finally found something interesting.

u can defend and said all of those abt Callisto bcs it's already revealed. can u said it when its still 30 ch.

as i said u are too biased. this manhwa still early too judge while penelope and Callisto alreade on climax story.
please be rational and dont to biased.

Nope i did not forget that but it still does not give him the right to be so aggressive and meddling without telling the reason why when fl has full right to know.

Ps. I am talking about Callisto in early chapters so I don't see why you keep on mentioning climax and stuff.
Nvm I still stand strong with what I said if someone else can prove it otherwise they're welcome.

"u forgot this ML forced to be married with his sister to protect the "pure" blood. from here he has dull life already. and he finally found something interesting."
I do not understand this, so you said ML is married with his own sister? So currently he is married?.... And you sais his sister? Can you give me same clue?

(at Ch 15)The audacity to compare this nosy brat to Callisto. Callisto had his problem and he grew out of it. But this brat is nothing but a burden on the MC, and frankly, easily replaceable in the plot so far.

^ to you and the person arguing for Callisto. Just to make it clear: their point is that you guys defend Callisto because you already saw that he changed and found out about his reasons either cause the story has progressed a long time ago or just by spoilers.

Whereas here, you guys judge the similar type of ML but don’t care for his reasons and don’t care to see the point he changes. There’s literally only like 20 chapters of this story out vs the several chapters of the manhwa Callisto is from. You’re already are biased since you have seen Callisto and gave him plenty of time to change as opposed to this dude who you don’t care to see change as well.

Okay, I need you to go back and literally read the chapter where Callisto was introduced. I am not talking about the character itself, instead about how good the writing was. Things were already set up and the story had already progressed to a degree, and all love interests were divided into 'maybe' and 'hell no'. Till bam! We get another guy, and although he's dangerous it's pretty obvious that he is a product of his environment in the exact same chapter.At first they lull us into thinking that he's just going to be one of those psychos villains while Ecklise is our true ML (remember now?) Plus, they purposely limit his presence and relevance into MC's personal life to keep him a mystery while our anger was directed to her family instead. It was only later that they started on getting us to warm up to him, by showing his vulnerability instead of some sort of rizzed up image

While the emperor in this story, from his intro to ch 15, comes off as an entitled brat who's getting in her way. To the point that his sole presence can make the story unreadable, no matter how 'good' he will get.

Then isn’t that you having an issue with the writing instead? Anyways I’m not arguing about the MLs as I don’t hate or love either of the MLs from that manhwa and this one lol. I’m just explaining how op was pointing out that both you guys have similar reasons that you don’t apply to other characters. It’s still the general “Both MLs with bad attitude/image supposedly having reasonings behind it- but giving a pass to one and not to the other based on personal preference.”

You guys are of course allowed to hate and love whoever character you want. The main point was that it’s true, you both did have bias for one ML cause you like him and don’t allow the same for a new one.

This this this. You worded it perfectly! In story writing, their personalities and situations are very different, even though superficially they both seem arrogant and threatening to the FL. Callisto's behavior pattern makes a lot more sense given his situation, where he is constantly targeted by terrorists and powerful people who wish for his demise or humiliation at every opportunity. On the other hand, the situation is much better for the ML here, but his attitude and the impression that he is only interested in the female lead because she is special gives me the ick!
