I'm amazed that this manhwa is actually commiting itself to being historically accurate.
I came back to this after months, ofc checked out the most recent chapter asap, and ML being a baby is like the reddest flag and lowkey tells me this one is for the streets-
now is side story.main story ends at 118.
I mean if you wanna check the ending,look at 118 :-D
I love how the temple's conspiracy is being undone.
Like, I get so mad when a shoujo with good lore has the main conflict established and it's time for the characters to act, but for some reason they're stuck in a near endless purgetory of villains bullying the protagonists without them taking initiative.
Nah Kael is valid af here. Like I get him, he's very over whatever his "friends" did, wants to move on and all, but Hestia has her thorns stuck in place. She stubbornly insists to keep dragging someone down who she already kickflipped and fatalitied into a bottomless pit. I don't blame her for her crashout bc it's literally been the purpose of her life but like, listen to hubby. Not all men suck, just most of them.
Fr, can't believe how little people are supporting him
truuuee letting that type of dark emtion with for that long takes a toll on you and would be better to just let go for peace of mind.
he's healed by her (emotionally and mentally) so he doesnt care anymore about whatever the friends say lol
That outfit wants to be complimented with "SLAY QUEEN", like unironic slay if you ask me.
It sure is easy to romanticize what the husband did, but I think that comes from a place where most women kinda expect and accept assholes, and are desperate for guys who openly show their affection.
Personally, MAYBE I'd find the husband appealing but only if he wasn't aiming to confine her through potent misery. He clearly never showed her proper consideration ever, she's his object of desire, a trophy whose well-being will be sacrificed just to possess it.
And what's worse is that he DIDN'T even learn his lesson in the first place!!! She fucking shot herself in front of him because of what he did and he's STILL tryna do it again!!! The AUDACITY of this guy
I don't think cheating on her with several women for 7 years, killing her father, having her entire country ruined, putting her in a monastery and driving her to suicide is easily romanticized
OH, sweet summer child, with enough yearning and sad boy gimmicks readers WILL fold, some already do. We just built like that.
Maybe not easily romanticized, but romanticized none the less. It gets easier because he's a hot anime man.
Are you projecting?
I've literally seen a comment or two on here already lmao. I'm also very familiar with romance tropes and their respective enjoyers. Yes, I belong to that same breed, that's why I SMeLL IT IN tHE AIR. IT STINKS TO HIGH HELL AND I HAVE NO HOPE FOR HUMANITY, SO YES.
I'm so ready to see Phillip's excitement fall away once he realizes he left a whole child in that village
I hope he doesn't take advantage of the situation
I'm hoping this'll be a turning point for MC's and the Empress' relationship. MC has been side-eyeing his mom this whole time without any proper confrontation... Or really any major moves to try and shift the tide in his favor. Either Eti will straight up collapse bc his mom fucked up his liver with her dumbass trait-hiding drugs or he'll reveal his true feelings of disgust. Anway, it better get ugly bc I'm starting to argee with most comments here, that this is coming out to be a whole nothing burger.
Ah yes, let's outright rebel against the single most powerful person in the country without a plan or even a solid backing. Fighting against someone even more powerful than the king himself with maybe a handful of people while she's got a majority of the ruling class under her thumb.
That should go wonderfully.
Exactly, I want the drama. Make it messy, make everyone cry. Make Eti go actually rogue, and perhaps the Empress will really be faced with the facts, that she made her own child miserable because of petty greed. I want to see whether she'd be capable of actually caring once inevitably faced with the consequences of her own actions.
Ch.16 is so disgusting. Like that's not even fap material at that point, just torture. I can't relate to people who can get off to that when the couple's dynamic ONLY involves "I'm gonna hurt you bc I want to" and "I am and will be in pure agony".
Btw, idk if that's a plothole or not but like, if ML knows that MC is that disembodied voice that pitied him, why was he surprised that she knew his weakness and what not? Like, it just makes sense to assume if she knows of his "fate" she'd also know a lot about him.
Or was that moment where she yoinked his side like a confirmation of sorts? Maybe I'm too neurodivergent for this but if that's really it they need to make it a bit more obvious. Put a big circle and jiggle some keys over that shit idk.
I think the ML didn't exactly knew it was her. He just heard her voice and Anrie's sounded familiar to him.
maybe it's gonna be explained in more detail later, perhaps that's it we'll see
From how I understood it, he doesn't know she is the voice at all.
Instead, to him, Anri represents change and something new. It's not quite love yet but it is budding. Anri is the representation that he CAN move forward with his life away from Elze and the Book. She's a new variable that had never existes before in his previous life.
