You'd think for a story depicting a couple with a large age gap, the author would do their best to show us that "age doesn't matter blah blah", instead, they really went the opposite way of showing us exactly why age does matter. At first it's cute, then later on it's revealed that all the things the ml did was to manipulate the situation on his favor.
Anyways, I'd just turn a blind eye to that cuz it's still engaging but damn it, ml is really making it hard lmao. Also, the feeling of hopelessness mc has got me tearing up. It's my top weakness in stories lol I can take tragedy and loss but when it feels like there's nothing else that can salvage a situation I cry. He's doing his absolute best to stand confidently by his side but it's never gonna be enough. The age gap really plays such an important part fck. Mc is too young and too naive while mc is too experienced and aware of how to weaponize said experience. Cut out the parts where ml reveals his plans and it'll be fcking wholesome ohmygod ignorance truly is bliss.

Even if it wasn't their intention to hurt Munryeong, the fact that they did cause him pain will definitely make Paljae discover a new emotion lol. He's about to unleash some righteous anger ahhhhhhhhhh I can't wait to see it!!!
Going berserk cuz someone hurt the person you love is a trope that truly never gets old for me. I can never get enough of it

I was honestly prepping my heart for a slow burn cuz ml is actually really fcking respectful and mc seems really chill y'know. His focus is on his child and he had a girlfriend before so I thought it's gonna go the "wait, but I'm straight" trope but ooohhhhh we got a kiss!! Initiated by mc!! And he did it unconsciously!! They like each other ohmygod it's mutual!!!!! Ugh I hope they won't just let it be a moment, they need to talk about it. Ml at least ask why he did that, don't let him get away with it!
Props for mc though, I didn't expect him to be so bold as to kiss someone cuz he thought they have pretty eyes. Fck please don't make it seem as if it's an american thing he got from living abroad ugh

Wait, reading back, I noticed they seem to always gravitate towards each other and have their faces and bodies in very close proximity. They've actually been actively flirting!!! And I never clocked on it cuz so many webtoons do this and still give the narrative that the mc is oblivious and it's just "friendship" lol

I thought it will be a typical fantasy where the details of the world was left to the imagination of the audience and previously established tropes but the author actually did really awesome world building!!! I also love the fact that the difference between status and races was made clear. Like, nobles are basically government officials, they have a heavy responsibility with lives depending on them. The elves were also not humans, it was established that they have different values and beliefs. I must admit I got so fcking tired of how soooo many stories made them like the difference was just the ears ohmygod. So much potential wasted just for the aesthetic lol. It's the small things like this that makes up a great world building and the author did amazing with this one.
This is a solid read with amazing plot, characters and execution. Tbh I just wanted a cute father-daughter duo sorry but I'm glad I got more than that.
(It's so sad how something that should be a foundation of a story was usually overlooked. World building was a favorite of mine too so quite a lot really tested my patience lmao)
Holy sht their chemistry is so fcking good ugh they are one of the best couples I read, and I read a ton of love stories. This romance arc is definitely one of my favorites in this story. Gongja learned a lot about love here and it also addressed one of the things I was stressing over.
(I see you nonbelievers but this arc is so important for the next few arcs to come. I also hate romance in action manwhas but only because it was handled so bad. The author did well with Gongja and Raviel tho. There's actual Chemistry between them and Raviel is such a great character. I love her!!!!
I accidentally downvote your comment T_T I’m sorry!! I want to agree with your comment. I mostly dislike romance in action manhwa(not all!) too because mostly it seem unnecessary to me but not this manhwa. I approve the romance in this story! The love story is written properly, not just an add on or something
