its giving count of monte cristo twink edition. the set up for this plot is wild.
also andrim and malaki r so cunty, i hope they become platonic life partners and adopt juliette (i choose to forget abt the "i want to be my brother sigrud's wife shit" for my personal peace).
last thing, whats the end game? im sure andrim doesnt want to be stuck w his late wife's lover forever TT and im still confused by the dragon's involvement, like what do they get out of this other than "entertainment"?
what's the point of drawing your weapons if you just let the opponent flee? what kind of revolution is this lol, did they think they were j gonna scold the clearly deranged emperor and he'd be like "ah okay I'll give up the throne"? I was really hoping for a slowburn revenge with a banger of a final act but this aint it
To start off, I'm not defending Heeseo at all. Sure, he's a really troubled guy with a tragic past but the same could be said of Taekyung. Nothing about his past excuses the manipulation and sexual/physical assault committed by Heeseo. Period.
With that said, up to a certain point before all the literal crimes, I understand the feeling. Wanting to be needed by the person you love so badly that you want to suck them into your own little world - just the two of you. And feeling a twisted resentment toward them while loving them absolutely.. because you know they have people to fall back on, even when you're not there. And you don't have that in anyone but them. It took me so much therapy and self reflection and screaming arguments to figure out how fucking unhealthy and obsessive I was.
And the thing is, it's so irrational. A big reason why I could overcome it is because I had someone who was honest with me, who loved me enough, and that I trusted to tell me I was WRONG. And as hard as that was to accept, I was able to because it came from that person.
I'm not saying Taekyung deserved what happened to him or that he's emotionally responsible for Heeseo, though. I just think that what they really needed was trust. They couldn't trust each other at all. And I think a big part of that was Taekyung's desire to be a savior, to make "amends" (whatever that meant for him), in order to make himself feel better. I think in some way Taekyung always treated Heeseo like a child and a stranger, despite wanting to be his benefactor somehow. Everything he did was contradictory.
Ultimately, this is just a tragic story that I can painfully find pieces of myself in, at least in the past. I reeeeeally hope the author won't do incest as a subplot though (I know they aren't blood-related but it's still incest, idc). If it were mild codependency, that's one thing, but after everything, I hope Heeseo and Taekyung don't end up together.
I'm so frustrated by Riftan's overprotectiveness and dismissiveness around Maxi's abilities. Maybe compliment her once in a while? I guess he really does care about her which is like his only redeeming quality, BUT lowkey he knows nothing about her. They just fuck. A lot.
In earlier chapters, I was frustrated with Maxi for not communicating with him but he's so much worse! Like atp he would become EVEN MORE overprotective if she revealed her abusive upbringing. Ugh, he needs some serious growth and FAST. Not saying it's impossible but he's really insufferable at this stage cuz he's mad disrespectful to Maxi.
Long story short, Maxi is a saint and I love her, Riftan do better :/ He don't deserve her rn.
I’ve always been a little bored with kind, heroic main characters, especially those that refuse to kill anyone. It’s just a bit boring. So, I made a list of Mc’s without those morals
- absolutely evil MC, through and through.
- MC wasn’t evil at first, but something happened to him/her that made him/her a the way they are now.
- pretends to be nice and innocent.
- MC is emotionless when killing, and seemingly show no emotion/remorse.
This list includes links to WEBTOON,
It's super unsettling how Inseo ignored his clearly desperate friend who is so OBVIOUSLY trying to avoid somebody. Red flags all over the place. I know the author wants that scene to appear "funny", but I was so uncomfortable reading it. If a friend is obviously in need of help and is indirectly BEGGING FOR IT, it's not cute or funny to leave them high and dry because you "don't wanna get involved". I'm disgusted.
I honestly love a VERY wide variety of manga genre's, but one my (less?) guilty pleasures is when the main character is portrayed as the bad guy, acts as a bad guy, or is simply really just the bad guy (^~^ hehe).
We really FEASTED this day. Miss Queen showed up and showed out, 10/10 baddest bitch
