i know i might be shooting the gun too soon since this is still ongoing but i genuinely believed they would talk things through on that bench. and by that i mean alllll the issues. why even set up and show in detail the issues on their relationship? well mc's at least, what the fuck is ml's problem? am i the only one who thinks him being out of the blue cold at the littlest things manipulative and odd behavior? even i as a reader who got to read his pov is still clueless at the way he acts. and worse, he knows that it affects mc, yet does nothing to fix that behavior. although tbf, mc hasnt talked to him about it, but still
it's impressive no one crashed out in the company yet lol. workplace dynamic aside, no one also knows how much yi-tae is being paid, but i feel like in the real world, hr would gossip, and ofc the info would make its rounds to the company.
i reread the previous chapters with this new upload (chapter 8), and his actions come off as worse the second time around, the time when u really got to think about an information because processing it the first time has already been done. even with his side laid out, there's just no excuse. it's still true what nicole said, he's still thinking about the princess even when he was with her, even if for him it was pity. but like, literally your fiance was there with u. i can feel sorry for someone, but not to the extent like he did when i'm with my boyfriend. it's just different you know. idk why in his perspective he's making himself look like a saint or is justifying his neglect to nicole by basically thinking/saying "it's not what she thinks"... it is though, the truth is, he just didn't care that much about her. i think their social roles and hierarchy also plays into this; he's so used to being the prize, what with being the heir and the norms in his country are, that before (and y'all cannot change my mind about this), he thinks Nicole's lucky she gets to be with him (which is why the arrow struck him when bob-haired against-DV defender leader said something like along those lines).
.
then u think about their traditions, like going together in the soiree, or eating together at lunch... those are there because the men liked their fiancees enough.
.
lowkey i want to see what he would've done if he came upon the realization that nicole doesn't care anymore without others' meddling. remember, it was the student council members who urged him to have lunch with her, even go on a fricking date! like, is he a mama's boy or something that can't do anything without being told what to do?
can someone who understands the raws confirm if he really got his memories back bc i dont believe it i think he's just feigning
even my heart hurt for yi-tae at the omega question
i know it's just a misunderstanding but i still don't want him to end up with her, unfortunately. him trying to win her back isn't even bc of his own will, like, u see ppl around him telling him to go to his fiance's side, yada yada. wtf? makes me think that even if he was able to win her back rn, the issues will still come back later on. he's extremely self-centered, and i am questioning if he truly has no idea of the norms or just plainly doesnt care, as he is part of nobility. those norms made others pity his fiance. again, very wtf behavior.
despite the story on chp 7, i still think they'll end up together. i'd have hope if this was a manhwa, but like mangakas are the most extreme male glazers ever, so like, i dont have much hope. i'll read only for the angst, then dip when they start getting together
oh you'll regret this so bad geum dan HAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAAHA
wtf this manhwa is so underrated like i actually like this than the mainstream angst/revenge manhwa recs i see on tiktok. i get my recs from tiktok and i have never encountered anyone who recommended this manhwa ever. had to discover it from a random list here in mangago
I love reading egoist MLs suffer when the FL moves on from loving them, apologising & regretting.
Ratings /10 on how satisfying the angst is:
》9 - 10: Will make you both angry+satisfied.
》6 - 8: Good, but doesn't DELIVER angst
》4 - 5: Disappointing. Scum didn't suffer enough.
》1 - 3: Cancerous material. Will lose brain cells.
Added really good "haha suffer more you piece of shit" novels with novelupdate links. Highly recommend u read them.
i want more side stories but this time of them living happily; no anxiety looming beneath, which is probably not possible
ummm, would everyone even allow her grave to be nameless considering her standing in society??? also her son not knowing????
plot twist: sunggyeon or whatever her name is is actually posessed by the author who's crazy about the blond guy like some of the readers here lol
she had to die for him to come to that realization... that's a very expensive price for a measly realization. if this was real life, there'd be people who aren't completely allied with him that could have already made him realize that, esp because they both went to war. but idk the finer details on the author's mind so...
usually manhwas of this nature (and genre? lol) have this (tolerable, but still) cringy aspect that i find to them bc of how much they praise and glorify the main character, reinforced through those in between art that depicts them like a goddess, an angel, or whatever. even though as a reader, it's already clear that the main character is the heroine of the story and will succeed no matter what. i find that this manhwa has minimal of that and its so refreshing how i was able to read this smoothly without that feeling.
the duke of the north keeps regressing too for some reason so what if the four guardians family with the powers (important distinction bc the ex fiance doesnt seem to have any power) regress too every time lea dies.
i just finished reading all the chapters today and this manhwa is actually so refreshing. its nice to see a not so toxic dynamic between a dominant alpha and dominant omega. i've been wanting a manga like this between the two since forever T-T. and i like how the seme actually acts like a gangster! esp if it's his family's way of life since he was young. i even like the little details of his father not kicking up a fuss when ml beat up his brother, just went to buy a new table lol. i do wish we can see seonu and him interact more, like dote on your son-in-law or something like that. and i wanna see the baby and babies moreee
*sigh* you cant blame dae for not communicating properly too (and by that, i mean telling yoonwon that this ambiguous relationship is confusing him, etc). he likes yoonwon but at the same time owes him too much. the power dynamic between the two of them is getting in the way. he doesn't even open up unless yoonwon demands/commands/initiates it (gf misunderstanding previously). unlike previous instances when they were on relatively equal standing.
