i get her existential crisis as a isekai-ed character but regardless of it ( since nothing can reverse it ) she FINALLY understand that not centering your goddamn life around the same mfs you hate dont even mean you are playing the bigger person its just not worth the energy you could dedicate to yourself, i can relate to being a generational vengeful mf but it should never make you turn into as much of a loser as your opps otherwise your revenge totally lose its purpose
how tf did we go from pedophile beheading to this broooooooooooooo!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? when a healthy relationship with the heir was right here !?
we got certified pedophile ruler death, we got shojo ai, oppressed class backed putsch, girl inheriting the throne n now the conventionally uke looking dude toping the seme looking dude dawg long live to woke yaoi authors fr
the healthiest relationship developpment involving two traumatized characters i ever saw in fiction actually
So true
we fr cooked fame, starember has started her own new manhua now so basically consider this masterpiece dropped until further notice but go read the novel or download them if yo cant buy it for now ( yea there is #places ), last chapter in the manhua = chapter 24 volume 2 for the tgcf book if i remember correctly, on every mangago gooners souls this story gon change the trajectory of ur life
jaekyung can compete w diddy himself in predatorial behaviors n now the author tryna squeeze out a redemption arc outta this garbage, ik Mingwa themself is flabbergasted to see ppl legaly eating that shit up despite how ass they purposely made that story
bro got abused so often he ended up normalizing it ( meanwhile his sisters brain straight up erased these memories to cope )
<< it always feel like my patience is on its last thread >> we either one chapter or a few chapters away from Haesol giving up n pining him against a wall ( to hold n kiss him btw )
keeping my thoughs to myself til the next chapter bc its possible they gonna have that "talk after sex" and adress the issue
Hyung never even started the healing process before chap 80. I mean, look how he was still centering his rapist upbringing/feelings in his internal monologue. What he assumed was desensitization in the mental health professional sense of the term was in fact him developping a unhealthy coping mechanism, he became hypersexual ( common trauma response to SA/rape or growing up surrounded by unhealthy ppl ), exposed himself to porn content until he fully got used to this twisted version of intimacy, had reckless habits and casual sex with men he *choosed* in spite of what he couldnt consent to, making the abuse seem less impactful than it really was. What he needed the most wasnt people who indulged his urges but adressed the root and challenged his self-destructive pattern resulting from his internal victim blaming, "no its not your fault, you played no part in it, whatever you think you did to deserve it, you didnt and it shouldnt shape your path" but the men around him were broken or as broken as him so nobody could really reach to him from outside this circle of pain, turning themselves into a real ouroboros. Imo this story explore how without the right support system, the line between "healing" and "trauma bonding with your abuser/normalizing" is way thinner than ppl think, especially under patriarchy where rape culture is a core component of its structure and how mistaking the first for the second in a borderline desperate attempt to relieve the pain can lead you right back into the arms of the devil or to makes one with that devil whoever or whatever it might be ( as demonstrated when he tried to ride Boguk as he was asleep ). Didnt see such a realistic depiction of similar themes in the medium since Lost in the cloud ngl
