i dont have the heart to read this again, and my memory is FAILING on what in particular he did wrong to her, like, i remember even at one point leaving a comment that was like "i wish she could just die" (NOT in a hateful way, in a sympathetic way (maybe that was another manhwa)), but i dont actually remember what in particular he actually did to her besides neglect and isolate her, and also kill her cartoonishly evil father.
so all i remember right now is his entire life, and im like, NOT on his side, dont get me wrong, but i see all the comments saying "fuck him" "your sob story doesnt matter" "this made me hate him more", but, tbh, this made me like him a little?? obviously hes mentally unstable, but this made me more like "ok true, relatable" for his points (minus marrying her, he shouldve sought out help, not a spouse).
Can anyone in the replies give me a quick refresh on why this literally shitty, awful, i-would-rather-die-than-experience backstory/childhood combo is making people hate him rather than be a bit more sympathetic or at least understanding of him as a character??
I’m guessing it’s because he punished an innocent woman for her father’s wrongdoings.
I mean, he physically and mentally broke her because of his own selfish obsession and insecurities so I can see why many don't sympathize with him. I'm just glad it at least gave him reason? Not valid but 'a' reason.
Neglect IS abuse. Isolation IS abuse. Idk what you mean by 'What else did he do except neglect and isolation'.... what else did you want him to do? Is this not enough hate him? Tbh, the fl wanting to die is not just because of the ml. She is hated in the entire capital by everyone and has no one to rely on, not even her husband. The shift from priviledged and sheltered to hated and scorned was quick and it clearly affected her mentally. So, here is a quick background of what the ml did. He knew Fl's family was gone. He knew she was ignorant but innocent but he still blamed her for being a noble, something that she did not have a choice in. He knew people's criticisms and hatred of her was making her feel guilty and he deliberately reminded her again and again of her noble status. He knew she loved him and craved to restore their relationship to the way it was before. He would accept her when she threw herself at him but then immediately turn around and tell her that he doesn't love her.. in fact he hates her and their entire relationship was a lie. It was never real. He knew she had no one else but him but he neglected her. Even when she had just one person reach out to her, he withheld the letters and isolated her. He wanted her to have no one to rely on. The fact that she had to sell her jewellery in order to prepare a donation and when he saw her donation slip and wondered where she would have gotten the funds because she can't get employed.... it is clear he did not give her much support financially except for basic needs. She was surrounded by hate and the ml loved to remind the fl that he hated her. He pushed and pushed..... her mentality slowly broke until she was so depressed that she turned to suicide. He did not physically abuse her or r**** her. But he mentally tortured her.
i dropped this previously bc it was updating and i had no patience. Can anyone not really "spoil" for me, but let me know: when does the romance start like, developing properly?? like obviously the connection starts fast, but when do we see the MC start to be less stone wall super-computer and a bit more human?
like what chapter has the first "oooooooooh" moment
Uhm... I don't know how to explain it to you but...
That was my reaction too
For real HASHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
We can't really tell anything without spoiling... Lmaoooooo
just read it, honestly. it's great. can't recall which chapter, but the romance is there.
LMAO i know she proposes if this is what yall refer to?? maybe im misremembering
ill give it a retry yeah
Tbh, my big "oooooooh" moment is a spoiler, and it's pretty recent in the manhwa too. It's pretty much like a neon sign, if you read the latest updates lol. There are probably earlier "oooooooh" moments that are more subtle but sweet, but my brain fails me lol. I read too many manhwas that I've forgotten some (if not everything lol) details in all the manhwas I read
i remember why i dropped it the first time, its because the last 40 chapters make me feel so debilitatingly upset for the duke it actually gives me a headache to read
"slowburn this" "slowburn that" at this point in the story, the "slowburn" is DONE. they both have been fucking since chapter 20 and basically dating since chapter 50 and they both know (and have BEEN known) they have feelings for the other. The only thing keeping this from ending on the note expected to end on is the main character pussyfooting around giving a proper answer, being noncommittal and indecisive AFTER THE FINAL ACT HAS ALREADY PASSED. there's NOTHING else that the author needed to build up to, the relationship was ALREADY THERE. This is just obnoxious and spreading the story thin.
HE ALREADY KNOWS HE LIKES HIM and vice versa. the only reason
(SPOILERS)
,
,
the only reason he even says "yes please date me" in the end is because he finally gets it through his fat dense skull that he cant lead on, fuck, and date around with youngchan without actually committing to a relationship, because youngchan actually has some SELF RESPECT. oh my god it pisses me off why did the author decide to strain this story, making it uber-cliche and stressful in the last 10 chapters for absolutely no reason.
Well ty for those spoilers, i can drop this with ease now xD
Where did you read the rest of the chapters
ML- "REAL bad luck is shown through MULTIPLE events people usually go through only ONCE in their lifetime"
MC- "oh yeah ive definitely been through THOSE, because I had an accident ONCE"
bitch, your grandma dying when you were 6 and being in an accident ONCE do not constitute some horrible lingering heaven-defying bad luck. this main character syndrome "my past is the darkest" bullshittery from the MC is kind of pissing me off.
Like, if were gonna do the trauma olympics, lets consider the ML getting trapped in a fucking tree box and then again later in another box, losing everyone he has ever loved, hundreds of years in solitary confinement, turned into a fucking ghost, child neglect and abuse, + more. And MC you had what?? granny died and you broke your leg?? you had a mid child-hood? like be so fucking for real i right now i cant with your gaslighting ass
ur so real for this
Why do I understand you but I don't wanna
ok to be fair its been established that his memories have been fucked with and also the ppl around him keep telling him he's bad luck and refuse to work with him cuz pf it so of course he thinks its true
his attitude is actually more than i can bear man
yeah im here to reread again, if anyone has any recs like this (doesnt have to be soul-swap, just love the character dynamics) plsplsplsplsplspls lmk ty
You can try read these:
1. Where The Wind Stays
2. Night Song
3. Bad Friend
4. My Master
5. Two Empires, The Slave of The Empire
I highly recommend number 5 because the MC is such a powerful badass
if this story is stressing yall out now, just wait for the cliffhanger we get at the end of the season
You sound like someone that has seen the raws..... where? Oh, do tell (=・ω・=)
My poor heart can’t really handle cliffhangers , so please spoil me ..(〜￣△￣)〜
I just read the raws puh ... please authornim continue soon
Spoiler? ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
The story is in America, the land of the free, so there's a at homecoming.
Fellow reader pls share the raws
I just googled the Korean name
Ok spoiler:
So the French guy is getting bullied. They go to a party and the French guy comes with a gun and shoots at everyone and Brett happens to stand in front of him .... and of course Hayden throws himself between him and the Bullet and gets shot ... they fall to the ground and we can see Hayden bleeding from the shoulder and that was it
Otherwise I think Hayden panicks because he realises he feels more for Brett ... that also happens in the next chapters
SO FAST??? tysm for uploading
