Guess I'm one of the ones not being green minded enough to see the "romantic" vibes people are saying about Marian and Theo? It felt like brother-bigsis vibes. And I've read romance (and all kinds of) books from non-fiction novels to these manhwas for the past 20 years...

Also if I recall correctly the white roses don't necessarily mean romance in flower language?

I don't care much about age gap as long as it's:
- both are consenting adults
- even if they met when one was a baby, the one that showed initial interest is the younger one (I'm not slut shaming people who's into D/MILFS)

If your moral compass is striking you hard, the exit button is on the top right of your tab for your benefit, have a nice day.

For me however, if the younger person was a legal, emotionally mature adult, and they chose to pursue the relationship, then the moral issue is diminished, especially since they likely weren’t manipulated.

But that's a lot to say for chapter 1, who knows.

When did the Frontera parents find out he wasn’t their Lloyd? Considering they said “that person who’s like our own son”

In Chapter 5, MC makes a face that makes me think he'd fit perfectly if his role in the plot was more anti-hero.

Reminds me of another webtoon similar to this, forgot the title but the crown prince there was unhinged.

I want 50 chapters more... （/TДT)/



Lowkey this story would be hilarious to shoot in an adaptation.

If it follows the novel page-by-page, it'll feel complicated. Despite making use of the FLs POV for the storytelling, the plot still revolves around the ML.

And then there's a whole lot of drama and backstory. I should probably just wait this one out and let it finish before I read.

I noticed a lot of dissonance in comparing the lead characters from the manhwa to the novel as well as their future plotlines. I'll be honest I think the manhwa adaptation is going for a shorter happy ending route than the twisted novel, not to mention the rushing of the story. Thankfully someone in the topics section listed the timeline and personality differences of the characters in comparison on its novel counterpart so you can compare there.

Anyway a few things I think regarding the characters, tho can be proven wrong, but for now what I'll settle with.

- Edric here is written to be more of a pushover by his mother, lacks a bit of cunning and horrendous side of his novel counterpart. Basically, an idiot prince scenario (I've read too many books and scripts and see this as a typical character stereotype, especially in K-Drama)

- Mellie is still a damsel in distress. Unfortunately, still barely has any substance aside from being a damsel in distress and being stupidly-in-love with Edric. It may be uncomfortable for others, but it is a common plot driver in both stories and reality. My cousin being one despite her husband's irresponsibility and being a violent drunkard.

- Francis, is written now more to be a plot driver supporting character, I still don't see the second male lead role others have said about him as he doesn't feel like he harbors any romantic feelings or even if he does, there's nothing that makes it appear he wants to pursue it. In the novel he was just a rescuer to Mellie, nothing deep.

It almost had a plot. Almost. But they had to fuck it all up, literally.


To the bin.

I guess some readers forgot that this world is apocalyptic. Which means morals are down the bin, and laws which could also be inhumane are made to control the community. I’ve watched and read a lot of these apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic scenarios that if anything else I’m more surprised MC had the guts to slap their leader.

But I guess the drama starts here…
