I just can't express how much i love the way you worded this. It's so true. It's complex. It's...human.
Yup its humanly complex. Alot of people have an issue with that and i understand- lotta peeps want something ideal, something not as complicated, something beautiful and nice.
They dont want to escape from reality from a hobby- in this case to a webtoon that is based on reality and human complexity as ptsd or trauma. Romance readers esp want a smooth road for the couple with a little drama here and there.
Though sometimes it does feel like the authors and readers are romanticising abuse and trauma so it does feel weird to follow stories like this ( ￣￣||)
You worded it so well
In depicting the severity of human nature and trauma- forgot the title but its the guy who has a scar in his left eye area and the fl who went back in time.
In real life it's really like that. people and their experiences arent only white and black but in numerous shades in-between. Some of these experiences cause us to think or act irrationally or depict the world in a certain light.
Him idolising her was a result of his experiences and when he saw reality it kind of shattered. If he was 'normal' he wouldve just went "ahh she was just normal shes not a saint nevermind" but he's not.
She wasnt as strong as he thought. He wasnt the type to surrender to death and he thought she wasnt, but she was. He didnt really see her for what she was but what HE 'thought' she was.
She really was naive, spoiled(in a particular way). But she is pure of heart and would've developed emphathy and understood the pain common people went through
Agggh need to marinate this more
But really, for once i hope this or another webtoon doesnt let the FL end up with ogML but another guy instead in these types of stories
Sometimes theres just too much trauma in the relationship that it feels weird seeing them together happy.
--(the common ones are them not actually happy in the relationship and there is a mistress on the side in the and they immediately introduce the actual ML of the story in the beginning. Almost never do we see the leads go through rough patches for a long time, separate, recover, and them getting romantic partners. Usually they go back to each other)
