Does the manga describe itself as a romantic comedy or did whoever upload it decide to describe it as a romantic comedy in the summary? Because it feels very false even in the very few chapters we have. The main couple (?) does not have any chemistry together at all, let alone humorous chemistry, and the female lead honestly seems like a creep. Or is it just supposed to be the inherent humor of a masculine girl and feminine guy?

I know it's not gonna happen because it's not that kind of webtoon, but just once, I'd like to see an MC escape their toxic love interest for good, whether that's leaving them or by fighting back and winning. Or maybe not even escape, but at least give the toxic person as good as they get. Poor Tay only got one good sucker punch in before he went back to getting steamrolled.

This manga sure is something. In Chapter 1, we learn the MC was mostly fine with the possibility of an old man sneaking into his room and sexually assaulting him. And in Chapter 4, we learn the love interest was an adult when he met and fell in love with the then child MC. I guess they're a match made in heaven then. And let's not even get started on all the bullshitery going on in the brother's story.

God damn. I was rereading this manga and the vibes really have been downhill since chapter 179. That's almost 5 years and 100 chapters of the author making me sad on purpose. Don't get me wrong, I love the drama and the intrigue, and I think everything is well-written, but what I wouldn't give for a moment of triumph or fluff to alleviate the soul-crushing empathy I feel for these characters and their suffering.

So, the dragon king cut off the arm of his own soldier and was about to genocide the whole bird kingdom and they just... moved on from there? No discussion, no reckoning for the destruction and possible annihilation wrought by the ML? Just cuddles and kisses? I mean... if you want your story to be confusing and unsatisfying, more power to you. Also, what was the deal with the bird kingdom? They were evil enough to kill unarmed attendants and turn on each other, but that was the first time they'd attacked in a millenia? Why?? Did this story get axed or does the author just have absolutely no skills at writing conflict or ending a story?

I'm glad we got a happy ending for Hari and Moogil, but damn, there was so much more I wanted to see. I wanted to see Hari get introduced to Simon. I wanted to see Hari and Moogil go out and find his grandparents. It seems like Hari has decided to start acting again and I would've loved to see how she made that decision. But here we are at the end, so I suppose I'll have to be happy with what we got. Maybe we'll get lucky and there will be bonus chapters.

As angsty and harrowing as all these new developments are, I do think it's kind of funny/ironic that Penelope didn't forsee this possibility with Eclis before now. Like, the whole reason any of this is happening is because girl got herself trapped in an otome game. Bad ends with an obsessed yandere are a pretty common feature in otome games. Penelope's gotta get good.
In all seriousness, I understand why someone realistically would forget about game mechanics when they're constantly afraid for their life, but still. Kinda funny that all this drama is still par for the course in a dating sim.

I disagree. Like the other person said. She never finished the game. She died every single time before the coming of age event. Eclis never became a yandere (wasn't twisted)in the game both in Yvonne playthrough while in og Penelope playthrough she couldn't have known.
Imagine getting isekaid in idk Code realize or Tokimeki girl side games. There are no yandere in this game (some say Saint Germain is a yandere. They're delusional. The guy kidnapped Cardia/mc because he was ordered not because he loved her). If you get isekaid in this very fluff, optimistic, raindow colored games you wouldn't expect the character to be twisted. Same way if you get isekai in an otome you haven't like Tengoku struggle (a new otoge coming this year), you have no clue how the characters will be.

I don't think initially in the game if you play as Yvonne (the super easy route) that there were many bad ends at all? It seemed that she was loved through and through by all the male leads too.
Yes I'd agree with the survival instinct really killing away all rational thought about game mechanics lol. Now it ain't as simple as 100% = clear

No. I don't remember where in the novel, but no. Penelope's playthrough was an expensive and money grabbing DLC. It shows once in the webtoon too. If Penelope dies in a bad end she has to PAY real money to restart. The Penelope's story is hard because 1) too many unreasonable bad ends 2) the Penelope micro transaction of og Penelope's playthrough discourage people to play it ergo there ARE no guide online = Reason why Siyeon (sorry if wrote wrong) keeps failing and never went past the coming of age event. He can assume the dlc was added later recently.
There are a lot of reasons why this webtoon is fun and good, but I would just like to shout out how much I adore the designs of all the elemental lords. I'm not sure if this is an original webtoon or if this is being adapted from a web novel, but kudos to the artist either way for their creativity towards that aspect of the story. I only wish we saw them more so I could admire them more, haha.
