Idk why but i really relate to this main character so much. I feel like he’s so I guess apart from his feelings, from his body. I feel like for children like us who were abused psychologically or physically we make personality’s for ourselves instead of what we actually are because or at least for me the real self is more despicable, more ugly than what normal society can take. As we get older these personality’s become us, and we feel utterly disconnected from our emotions and life. It’s kinda like playing doll house but having no idea you’re playing it. I struggle day to day to think about me physically being here instead of actually realizing I’m alive and things are happening to me.. not the doll. I see it a lot in this character because he has a forgetful memory (yes I know he has tumors) but I believe it’s because of how disconnected he is from himself and the realization that he is going to die forces him to become the doll. His true self is just someone who wants to run away, who needs comfort, and someone is obviously internalized. I find it really interesting as it is explored and I fear many will see it as bad writing from the author but you have to live it to understand it I guess.
Can this side couple actually get out of the way
Right?!?!! I'm so glad someone else agrees. I didn't care about them at all, and it seemed like they got more focus than the actual MAIN COUPLE. Their scenes were so excessive I just wanted to skip them all(and did). The amount of explicit content was wild and and luckily leaving them out didn't affect my understanding of the plot at all. However it’s definitely still worth the read ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
They consider the dude with dark blue hair and his partner as a side couple cause they weren’t the focus in the first season. Which makes sense because the actual main couple/character is included in the cover and description. Just the fact that neither of the side pair is mentioned in the description shows they weren’t part of the mains originally. If this story had two main couples, they should’ve included that in the description from the start rather than adding it in later or in the authors note at the end of the season.
Thats fair. Altho the author's saying is already enough reason for them to be the main characters too at this point. The author can have a change in mind while working on the story. Maybe they realised that they can flesh out more from them as 4 so thats why they clarified that 4 of them are the mcs and main cps
Thats why calling them side cp or side chara will undervalue the author's placement for them. They are not side cp/chara anymore and they have more role in the current arc, thats why they are mentioned more. I'm sure after this arc is done (hopefully soon because the jaw is kinda dealed with by now) the author will go back to eunjae-san
Even now 704 and the goblin's love story has no progress at all. The current arc seems to be focusing more on the fantasy genre and the world building. Its like the author just throw 704-goblin's moments for romance flavour so it still feels like a BL
Yeah but no one can be mad at readers who don’t like how the story went in a direction they didn’t initially sign up for. I feel like the author could’ve changed the description once they decided to have 4 main characters instead. I doubt the description is permanent. It also shows that there isn’t a good balance between the screen-time of characters when so many readers point it out. If the author really did a good job of writing the story so each pair has 50/50 screen-time I doubt there’d be as much of an issue. I mean eunjae who was named in the description hardly has screen time anymore.
It feels like bait. It’s the same case whenever an author promotes their story with a specific couple everywhere (cover, description, art on social media), only to make the mc end up with some other random that was never shown in those promotions. The only exception is make for the author switching up the couples is if it’s a spin off sequel already. (Ex: golden pair being a spin off/sequel of safari game. Which should’ve been expected that the OG main characters would come back in the sequel/spin off). IMO I think the only way authors can easily make good balance for more than one couple is giving each couple their own full season or having the second couple be in their own spin off story.
Oh btw I'm not mad to anyone, I'm just saying calling them side cp isnt right anymore. For the description, it might be because 704 and geumsun doesnt show up early and their appearance is kinda "spoiler" story-wise. They are not the mcs at first anyway. Altho I do agree the author should've change the cover so its 4 of them, Idk if they changed it on the legal website or not
I didnt like how 704 and geumsun progressing because for me the author throws them to the current arc "just because". I wish they stop doing it but it seems that they are kinda progressing now, kinda too late for that but anyway. They might throw 704 and geumsun for the romance flavour because they saw a portion of the fandom liking their dynamic and its still not the time yet for san and eunjae's development. Maybe san and eunjae's story will clash with the current arc's problem because their relationship has more depth in the world setting
In my opinion I believe that people who call kwon Ido an evil person are wrong. Ofcourse everything he has done is absolutely horrible but I don’t think he’s evil, instead I think he just did this because he felt utterly betrayed by Sejin. when we first meet him he did give off horrible vibes but we need to understand that in that corporate world he probably saw Sejin as some type of spy, as many corporate leaders learn to not trust anyone other than family. We can see this in the multiple times that sejin overhears something and Kwon asks him if he will betray him. Now until Kwon Ido learns of Sejin’s betrayal Kwon slowly warms up to him because he thinks he’s an honest and kind person and the end up falling in love with each other because they grow closer in the time they spent. Now the fall is when Kwon is betrayed, and personally I hateee when people are like this situation means nothing and that Kwon Ido shouldn’t have been mad, like bro if you got betrayed like that you would be mad. Now in the context Sejin knew that this is betrayal, he knew it was wrong, and I still believe that half of it was his fault because he still did it. But he was also pressured by family and that leaves it half not his fault because I don’t want to victim blame him but it is HIS FAULT, he had a play in that don’t be making characters you like saints and he is a saint but not in this situation. This is where Kwon Idos fear of betrayal really shines, as he completely isolates Sejin and gets his revenge in the things that happen. Now I think everything Kwon Ido does to this point is horrible and not warranted, but idk if it’s been confirmed but I don’t think Kwon wanted Sejin to be raped by his brother, I think he never even knew it happened until they eloped. Now the biggest evil Kwon Ido did was rape Sejin, I think before that (excluding the forced dick shoving) Kwons actions were somewhat fair, he isolated Sejin, didn’t talk to him, and ignored him which is horrible don’t get me wrong but I don’t believe this is evil, he is still a person and he felt utterly betrayed. Now think his “evilness” stems from his sexual abuse towards Sejin. Overall I just believe that before the rape and the sexual abuse towards Sejin, Kwon was understandable and not a “evil” person but a hurt person and I still believe that he was written REALLY REALLY well because he feels such immense guilt after what he did and him understanding Sejin. Idk if you disagree tell me why, just a reminder I am not excusing anything that Kwon did, I just believe we can’t choose sides here because both of these characters have done something wrong to each other.
I think you captured it really well. It's very hard and I feel conflicted when I think about it, but both of them did their fair share of bad things. Sejin for betraying him and revealing secrets about his company and Ido for taking revenge (what he did was more horrible and disgusting that's for sure and nothing Sejin did justifys it) but how would you feel when you are utterly betrayed by the one you fell in love with?
But the most horrible person is Sejin's father, if it weren't for him, nothing like this would have happened.
All in all I think it's really well written. Ido's character is growing and changing - maybe to slow or not good enough. Is it to late for forgiveness or should he suffer more? In my opinion Sejin is too timid, but with a family like his no wonder.
It's a deep story where you feel a lot of different emotions.
Yea I agree with u except the rape part and forced bj which haunted Sejin even in his rebirth all of the other actions were somewhat consequences of Sejin's betrayal. And I think in Ido's rebirth he had come a long way. He did try his best for Sejin which was very unlike his true self tho I don't understand why he bonded when he was about to let Sejin go. Maybe for the plot but okayy
I wouldn't call him evil. More sociopathic, like all seme who think nothing is wrong with raping a person.
You forgot that he raped Sejin before he betrayed him. The first time his heat came, even though it was kinda dub-con due to the heat, Ido was unnecessary brutal with him for no reason and felt zero remorse.
He did have all rights to feel angry and betrayed when Sejin did betray him, but Ido was already treating him like garbage from the very beginning and didn't give him the benefit of the doubt.
We understand his viewpoint and it makes sense for him to feel disdain towards Sejin from the start, but he went overboard from the beginning. You don't treat a person like this, no matter how low your opinion of them is or how bad you think they are.
Again, not evil, just sociopathic imo
“This manga is so sexist”, so what? Even as a woman I can understand different stories rooted in different problems… guys it’s not that hard to have a literature mindset when it comes to these topics. Not every story is going to be in the confines you want, it would make writing useless if anything. Personally I enjoy the topics being discussed and the edgy mindset if you don’t like that, then don’t read it no need to bash an author or story when ur literally reading on an illegal site lol.
