What happens when you get a name change or have a name twin. There’s like a million John Smiths or Park Ji-hos.
But I always get so thrown out of the story when authors make “sleep talking” (or in this case drug induced sleep talking) characters speak in full sentences. Like, many of us have done this or experienced someone do this and no one has ever held what is basically half of a conversation it’s so offputting I see it in so many works to push a narrative.
I just KNOW you aren’t the same motherfuckers who were wishing death on Gren right before this because please lmaooo
After reading all the novels can I just say I fucking HATE all the characters except Christoph and Kyle. Do they all have moments where you go, “oh wow how romantic was that line” or “how badass was that action”? Sure. (Except for Richard he can die in an Iron Maiden.) But are those few micro seconds worth the rest of their actions and overall arcs? Absolutely fucking not I’m so sick of them. I was ESPECIALLY appalled during Diaphonic Symphonia at Richard and Tae (separately). You can disagree with me as is your taste and opinion and I did choose to read and finish these to give them the benefit of the full work but. All of these are atrocious in character building, I’m horrified at the gratuitous rape fetish and inability to create any type of satisfying resolution beyond rapist+victim=true love. That’s all, I had to get it off my chest after sitting through all those novels.
Please let the MC be the one who died tragically, so the ML can be healed by them living together peacefully. Something tells me the MC would have preferred it that way as well.
You were supposed to say “I apologize if that’s how that came across and for my abhorrent behavior until this point. What I’m actually proposing is renewing a partnership in terms of work AND sexual compatibility, separate from each other, as I have come to realize I value you both in the ring and in my heart. I hope you could come to forgive me for past transgressions and return to our home in Seoul once we’ve finished the transfer process for your grandmother, whom we will of course bring with us.”
I definitely believe in the twin/half brother theory since he called both of those men young master in the dream and only one ACTUALLY looked/acted like ML. And he might have agreed with MC saying that about the dream because they WERE happy together and he had to protect MC from others in that time but MC is confusing him with his brother. Poor baby no doubt experienced something tragic to trigger his obsession and it’s gotta be linked to MC being cursed to have everyone around him die to keep him isolated. Starting to think as well that the ML that was hit by the car wasn’t a reincarnation but maybe part of the bloodline which allowed him to take over the body.
The man calling himself “husband” is doing it as a title of possession. MC was most likely his subordinate and that man was a rebellious or declining noble lashing out and forcing himself on a man of lower status he took a shining to (hence the violence we see.) The ACTUAL lover is clearly going to be ML though that bond is yet to be explored until the new chapters. My tentative theory is that, since MC mentions sending the “young master” away, these two may have been family and the volatile one posed a risk to the one he cared for so he sent ML somewhere safe temporarily. ML comes back and their relationship will either eventually be discovered or ML will retaliate after seeing the state of MC. Either way MC will end up dead from trying to protect ML or from revenge of fake-ML. After reincarnation and trauma injury his ghost (?) is now obsessed with their happy ending. That’s all I’ve got, thanks for coming to my ted talk.
While I’m so gratified we are finally getting into the Duke and the brothers side story after this chapter I’m equally DEVASTATED there is NO interaction sexually between them. Like as hot as it was I didn’t need the scene with the guards I wanted to see it with HOMEBOY. Worst blueballing ever though their ~censored event~ was precious.
You’re eating Byul up because he’s cute but so far his personality has given wet sock :( come on Fargo I believe in you, you can’t create Love is an Illusion and not deliver on this
I like the theory of there being multiple tapes per person, leading to Badas fucked memory. I also like the possibility of Yongtaek having forgotten his and creating another.
HOWEVER. We do know Doha has set himself as active obstacle between Bada and Game End which they both acknowledged. Could it be possible when he noticed Bada begin to take more of an interest in allowing a three party partnership (thereby furthering the chances of a successful game completion) he decided to move the tape to generate distrust between Bada and Yongtaek? Bada already has trust issues due to his memory and maybe Doha wants to play on that by doing a “look, I told you we can’t believe what he says, how can there be two tapes? His memory is fucked up or he’s lying to double cross us!” Situation.
I truly hope it’s actually just a clue, I want them to work together and fucking end this already omgggg.
Yall need to leave Yanagi alone fr. Chapter after chapter he’s proving that he’s waiting until Rindo is available and it’s his crazy wife pulling weird shit but yall can’t stop blaming him for breathing in his direction. Did yall forget Amane started this whole relationship yall fight to protect by raping and stalking Rindo??
I see Byul is a cutie but just as annoying/ dense in personality as his mom was T^T sure hope it gets better the more the plot develops because my god Love is an Illusion was a tough read without the development arcs.
I am prepared to claw my way from the echoing, fathomless abyss like Rasputin seeking the blood of the Russian nobility if that fucking actress so much as tries it now that these two are entering their fated orbit.
He just tried to eat you and you got lucky he couldn’t, why was the first thing you do not cooking for him Mr. Jack of All Trades? You literally went to go track him down and hoped for the best without any solution in mind.
Good ole reverse psychology. They all say they ARE him but the one that IS says he ISN’T which makes him credible.
If you can hear me universe, I do NOT want a devilishly good looking and misunderstood billionaire to become dependent on me in the near future.
Every time I see fork or cake I’m immediately ripped out of the immersion of the plot, it’s the worst. Couldn’t they have just made up a term or gone with some like “the delicacies” and “the ravenous” or something like please it’s killing me.
I always find it so annoying and unrealistic when one partner has an absolutely meltdown when they don’t hear from their partners for a day or get a text back, especially in new relationships. Like obviously in this case he’s hiding something but usually it’s nothing and people get busy I’d be embarrassed to be chasing down my partner and their friends like this, have some pride and boundaries. I certainly wouldn’t expect to know everything about my partner three seconds into a relationship, they’ll tell me when that trust is built.
Married AND lifetime bonded on the first official date? That’s some wild pacing there author!
