...Based on the cover page, I was expecting tentacles.
...I got _plot_ (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Sorry, meant to like
It’s two snakes
I count 4 heads. And it might be more. It looks like they are all connected to each other like a Hydra
Those are snakes But they can serve as tentacles, but that would be a horror LMAO
I don't think I've read anything as unserious as this that doesn't crash straight into cringe territory. Don't judge it by the first chapter - it's the little girl who has the crush, and MC doesn't really seem to actually have a romantic arc at all.
True, most of the single female characters who are not MC's disciples have something of a crush on MC and MC has his little fantasies about them, but the story doesn't really focus on any sort of romcom shenanigans. The story is mainly about MC and his disciples being OP and cool. There's very little stakes to the whole thing, it's just a silly comedy.
so no romance at all?
All the romance is in the background, I think the only time MC has done anything even semi-romantic is one very slapstick sort of date with 'oh no, the love interest can't cook anything edible!' gag. I think there's also this one cultivator sect master lady who likes MC and is pretty overbearing, but she doesn't show up a lot where I left off (though it's been a while). But no, none of the romantic melodrama or anything.
This contrived conflict, brought to you by Selective Hearing
idek at this point, there could be some bastard violating the Geneva convention like it's a checklist and still be 'redeemable' because hot+tragic.
There was a perfectly good Argio right there, and MC has to go around first sleeping with a barely legal kid young enough to be his student and a rapist eggplant. MC's standards keep dropping so low they're going to drill up oil soon.
huh, blind/vision impaired dad? That'd be really different!
It could be that general light is too bright for him or he doesn't like his red eyes.
Purple eyed magic obsessive hotties. So much fanfic potential right there.
There's just a ton of unfortunate implications to a relationship if, say, you are the only one who can charge your abusive, neglectful spouse's pacemaker - a pacemaker that sets off a nuke once it stops - then either you're stuck sacrificing your life and happiness for your abuser or you walk away knowing the damage you may cause to not just your spouse, but to others potentially around him. It's not just a matter of finding a supportive family at that point.
Not that it matters though, since it looks like the author is going the cowards route of gaslighting the MC - how everything she experienced under the ex was really just someone else's fault and how him neglecting and isolating her is all fine because he did it out of love/to protect her/whatever BS the author pulls. And if the saint, some random side chick becomes the 'real' villain to wash away the ex's transgressions - that hits way too close to real life 'justifications' for abuse.
Hopefully they bring in more guides and espers and unbond the ex so MC can live her new life without baggage, but I'm pretty sure that's too much to ask of a story like this.
you said everything so well, but ya I was hoping for too much with this story lmaoo
mom, I'm scared
That has to be a mistake lmaooo
i also think it's a mistake too
The girls crave evil
Did ML ask the prince at some point to break up MC's supposed engagement/marriage to her 'childhood friend'? I'm not certain what else it could be...
...uh, I hope I'm wrong about that because the implications...
Nah, I am very sure ML wanted a same sex marriage to be allowed since he thought Lobel was a boy? ╮(￣▽￣)╭
You’re right!
That was my thought too!
Lmaoo.. he's thinking that far already so his goal really to make robel his wife
I thought that at first, but I think ML found out before the timeskip - there's that chap where he stalks her back to her hometown after getting the background check from his dad, and he talks as though he knows her gender.
...but if it was a request for same sex marriage...that's still pretty bad cuz it'd be like 'lol, idc about that since it no longer affects me personally'. ...yikes.
