Wwwwwwait hold on why's there a tragedy tag, I'm not on board with that :(((
I’m glad you said something
I said before that Yuri is now officially dead, but now we're officially beating the rotting corpse of Yuri with a bat. "My feelings for you and Her Majesty are completely different." "If they're different, which one is stronger?" Just pull the trigger for the love of god.
YES!!! YESSS!!!! YESS!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Obviously, confessions are usually the most important part of any romance manhwa, but in this story specifically, it had an extra weight!!
This isn't just two people realizing they love each other, this is Penelope breaking the curse she thought would follow her forever!
Since chapter one (and her previous life) she had no one she could trust. This isn't because she's your classic shut off heroine, but the opposite! Looking at the whole plot, Penelope tries again and again to out her trust into people who disappoint her or betray her.
She thought she would die if no one loved her, accepted her death, yet when she survived, she decided to try and live despite everyone. I think it's perfect that he came to her, that he's there to convince her of his feelings.
I remember reading the start of this manhwa as it released and the relatable feeling of isolation was potent in every chapter, yet now, there's the feeling that no matter what happens, Penelope won't have to face it alone. I LOVE YOU PENELOPEEEEEEE ASTTGAGAGSJEJSKSKKAKAKA
It's crazy that someone can read the "breed, milk and finger as many of the trapped farm animal boys as possible" manhwa and wonder about what healthy monogamous relationship will be the end game.
Actually really good, the first two chapters made me wary, as they seem really rushed and I thought that if the whole story will be like this, it won't be worth it, but it gets a whole lot better immediately afterwards.
The mc is great, he's obviously badass, but he still managed to be unique imo. While he wanted to leave Murim, it was more so out of convenience than any guilt, so the brief moments when he relishes in fighting are exciting. I like that he's sometimes fooled, as it goes perfectly with his character. He's very wise, really intelligent, but he's kind of lazy to plan anything too far ahead. He's so kind with his daughter, I'm glad they aren't pulling any thundered bullshit and just let them have a nice relationship.
I like both the old men, they're great, they're cute and they're cool. I think they both should be a bit more responsible for their sects, but then there'd be no story haha.
Samtae is god. Samtae is peak. His progress is soooooooo satisfying. I think it's impossible to make such a satisfying protagonist, as improvement is obvious there, but with this punching bag side character it's peak. He's so funny, but he's also really cute with Sumi. Give him back his hair though pls.
Namgoon girl.... even ignoring her typical design an personality, she suffers from "female side character in an action manhwa" syndrome. It shows itself when a female character is supposed to be strong, is said to be strong, is admired by others for their strength, yet loses every fucking fight. The last time she won, it was in her introduction against a group of weak bandits. Can't we just.....can't we just give her one win???? I know her grandpa said she's incompatible with Samtae so that's why he won, but so far she's incompatible with everyone?????
I do wish the eyes were drawn little differently, all the characters look a little crosseyed all the time.
With the amount of sex they're having, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a lore reason lmao
Bitches who call this trauma porn when Rubekia is now healing in a safe environment, aided by medical attention, with her loved ones supporting her and learning of her difficult circumstances
I hope the specter of Dubu haunts all the studios that are trying so desperately to copy his art
I love Cale, he's like ooooh I have this selfish lazy scheme and then it's always just helping people and being kind to them.
I know some people take these thoughts of his at face value, but c'mon!! He could've had much more peace of he hadn't involved himself at all. He practically made himself the centre of international politics, how is that peaceful in any way? I personally think he's deluding himself, because he doesn't want to feel burdened by those expectations of virtue. I'm not even saying he's this selfless hero people see him as, but instead of caring for his own peace, he cares for the peace of everyone.
A lot of this has to do with his past trauma and a specific adult who led him to think, I don't want to be the protagonist. Cale has a lot of trauma involving death and security. He tends to burden himself with the weight of his own expectations and not allow the people who are closest to him to suffer. Cale is incredibly efficient and he will take on a responsibility if he so deems it to be the best course of action. Though I agree with you don't trust what Cale say's man is incredibly lonely.
