But I can’t stand this MC. Like something about him bothers me so much yet I can’t put my finger on it, because I actually appreciate how the author sets up the realism of a transmigrated individual handling memory fade + the struggle to get back to their loved ones and original world! I think MAYBE it’s the unrealistic way he’s so desperate to get home only to turn around and fall in love within the drop of a hat despite telling himself every five minutes “do NOT like this guy because he’ll fuck you over in the plot” or “you HAVE to follow this plot line to finish the story and get home” just to fuck up the story.
If the MC (ML??) didn’t suck so bad this story would have SO much potential. I fucking hate when they stick the personality of a toddler into a grown ass man and try to play it off like they wouldn’t get their shit wrecked immediately in the real world. The poor fucking seme has so much going on and dumbass balls mcgee over here is in lala land thinking about sex all the time and trying to WALK UP TO YAKUZA HQ like it’s a 7/11??? Crying all over the place like people don’t have actual problems like OH my GOD.
I don’t think I’d expect anything less from someone who picked up a roach with bare hands
Didn’t someone say the original art was going to return by now? I can’t stand when they start with one style and switch to another, it’s not that it’s the worst I’ve ever seen it’s just not the same. They look like they got chubby cheeks and bland facial features. I’ll just reread the novel at this point if it doesn’t go back.
Does Guwon not sleep? He’s giving “I’ve never know peace.” My gut feeling is that he is incapable of sleeping but maybe he is staring at that damn boulder waiting for the other boot to drop.
I also thought the stitching around his vitals (pulse points/ligaments) were potentially tattoos since they are drawn pretty simplistic (no signs of tugging or tearing.) Sutures are usually removed/dissolved after a period of time unless it’s for a cadaver that experienced trauma. Which would imply he’s undead, a fact everyone else would surely pick up on. So unless that’s normal for the post apocalyptic world they are in (cognizant undead and unaware undead) then he’s potentially just an overpowered human/human experiment.
Also, I adore the theory correlations for the myth of Sisyphus. I’m excited to see how it falls together, wish we got more mythology works.
I do agree that baby ML deserves sympathy as all children do as they are not to be trusted with major life choices. We can essentially look at the spirit as a very old adult who deliberately entrapped a child into a slave contract. Now, for some of older MLs choices in how he treated MC, I agree responsibility can be taken and MC deserves better. HOWEVER. The decision ML makes at the end of this season??? CONE OF SHAME FOR ML; you can’t tell me this man can’t afford a psychologist to work through this break up instead of doing what he’s done. It’s about to become so problematic because of his desperation.
That mama knows what’s up, that man was garbage so vile it couldn’t even be incinerated. Good fucking riddance.
Has more depth and intrigue than this piece of shit the author wants to call a story (art aside, 10/10)
Why do authors make up names in their works like Maythan, Rudius, Leticiel, Zythalomus or CARNE (I’m looking at you JBA). Like, are the authors not able to do research into whichever culture they’re basing their plot in/on to find names that exist? Or would ya’ll consider this more creative and give kudos. Genuine question, sometimes it works for me, other times it doesn’t fit with the story at ALL and pulls me out of the immersion because it looks/sounds ridiculous depending on the setting.
Please let Yeonjo successfully kill himself this round and be free of this burden he’s placed on himself.
10/10 would recommend, bittersweet; extremely healthy depiction of a partner during life changing circumstances
What constitutes a redemption arc for a man orchestrating a gang rape for his partner, even if it wasn’t carried out in the end? He has done nothing but antagonize what he viewed as a purchased punching bag. If this man was not attractive I fear there would be far less open arms waiting in this comment section. A tired trope indeed.
Also, I agree with the comment(s) saying it’s odd how the author displayed the inconsistency in his character. He’s shown no remorse for his behavior until this point and then cranks it to 100 with the waterworks/ manipulation (I’m including the raws but won’t spoil the buffoonery.)
Like, it makes you wonder when you read these stories, what inspires the authors. Do you have a friend you want to fuck over? Or were YOU betrayed by a friend to such a horrific level? And let’s all not forget that the professor is the one who actually gave the jank medication to the wannabe model to fuck over ML who is fucking over MC to… well… fuck him. Everyone is trying to fuck each other on subatomic levels, I fucking hate this. MCs parents and friends better snap to it.
I want to tear Mori apart like mochi and consume his squishy, adorable little babyness but then I’d have no more Mori
So tired of the doormat MC and toxic seme trope, it’s beyond outdone. Seme has every reason to be bitter and CUT OFF HIS FAMILY and I’ll never understand holding a candle for middle or high school feelings for a decade of no contact like all these things get under my skin in manga/novels I swear, but I’m trying to hold out to see if there’s something at the climax that makes me go OH SHIT THATS GOOD because we didn’t even get to see the technical antagonist (the brother) have a satisfying death.
I understand what the author is doing but in reality that’s so fucking rude, this pissed me off for Guwon.
In the raws is it just me or did they change it up? I could have sworn in the novel MC had a much harsher reaction to learning of his pregnancy/gilded imprisonment as empress. He and ML were on horrible terms regarding the ascension and baby. Yet in the raws Zigryl says he loves Kay then Kay is all bashful and while bewildered about being named empress, but doesn’t seem that torn up about the baby??? And doesn’t seem that pressed to escape either. Maybe I’m remembering the novel wrong I just swear it was more angsty.
Why do I feel like these chapters in particular are drawn oddly? Like all the other chapters/couples are shaped and colored well and then the actual couple I’m invested in is slightly… off? Almost like a different artist took over. Maybe I’m tripping but I swear the older chapters when they were in the fortress didn’t feel/look like this.
