ML is the prime description of a manipulative, destructive, and crazy. I can't believe he thinks it's all right to flat out torment the woman he "loves" in order to reach his end goals. The majority of his deceptive practices against the FL would have been moot had he gone to her and said their first meeting, while argumentative, made him drawn to her and wanted to marry her. Instead this Crazy ML went about his proposal in the most threatening and manipulative way. ML thinks his cousin, the Crown Prince, is crazy he should definitely take a long look in the mirror. A very long look.
I applaud FL for her elaborate plan for running away. And being able to stay hidden for as long as she did against her battle with her crazy husband. I do wish that her miscarriage hadn't been real and she escaped not only for her peace of mind but to remove her child from their father's manipulative influence.
That poor happy family got all messed up once the ML set eyes upon them. He is scum!! SCUM!! SCUMMM!!
I got that off my chest!! Can't wait for season 3! (ง ° ل °)ง
Kaelus -- it's always the quiet beautiful ones that become the beast of the sheets. But I don't hear Hestia complaining too much.
Diana -- I think she has lost her divine healing powers because she no longer was using them as they were intended when she was gifted them. Her abilities were to help the poor and unfortunate people, but, it appears, leading up to her marriage and afterwards she only used them on the nobility. Hence why her powers diminished and then disappeared; she stopped helping those she prayed for the ability to help.
I'm only sticking around because I wanna see the eggs hatch -- she's been "pregnant" for a super long time.
I know this is the author's story, but, to me, the revenge plot would have been a lot better if FL was set to return to her home country as a business rival and not just under the guise of a fake noble who happens to be the prince's lover. I think it would have slapped harder towards her ex and in-laws to see her returning super wealthy AND as the prince's lover.
The MC isn't a true necromancer; he's a swordsman with ability steals. I've read up to chapter 80 and he's used his "necromancer" abilities one time for a short weak moment. In the beginning, I didn't mind him learning some sword arts to protect himself as his necromancer abilities grew, but that's all he's done is sword arts. I don't mind authors giving a new spin to old ideas, but the fundamental skill of the Necromancer class is summoning. A necromancer is a dark mage of the summoner class!! A necromancer summons others [the dead] to protect, defend, and fight on their behalf!! Yes, the MC absorbs souls, but it's supposed to increase and develop their horde not sword!! The author should have just left the necromancy out if they were only going to focus on swordsmanship. I feel cheated by this fake necromancer story!! ☹☹
If only Dawoon had spoken to someone he trusted when he first started having symptoms of auditory hallucinations. And if only his parents had been more concerned instead of apathetic towards his sudden change in grades and personality that could have gotten their son help before he fell further into psychotic outbursts. They were so worried about the stigma of having a mental illness and the effects on their son's future and their family that brought about his destruction (and the family) by not getting him treated sooner. I felt bad for everyone in this story, but especially me, because I kept waiting for the boyfriend to turn into a red flag and do something crazy, but he was a green flag all along.
The story starts off really strong, but it starts to fizzle and get convoluted as Ze gets closer to the village in his dreams. Honestly, I think this story needed about 30 more chapters to fully flesh it out. I needed more information about the deaths and why the astronomers died in succession and its importance. How the shadow moved? Why his parents hid everything. I just wanted more...more fleshed out motives instead of weird ending. Also did MC maintain his powers?? So much left to explain and explore.
Ummmm, no, sir, you will not be doing what I think you're about to try on the side of the road. Do not attempt to place that 3rd leg in your mouth. You can't dislocate your jaw to make this work!! You are not a snake!!
I am liking how this story is progressing. Sure, I would have liked the FL to put more effort in knowing what happened to the ML to make him suddenly change his tone and yell at her, but after her initial run-in with his mother, she wasn't feeling too secure in his love and acceptance any longer. What I really can't forgive is the ML. He lost 3 years and, so far, didn't make any efforts to find out about his life beforehand? College life? Friends? Clubs? Job? Social media?? Did his parents pay off all the people in his life to hide the fact that he was dating FL?? He knows he can't trust his mother, so why hasn't he hired a PI to find out about his missing years?? So illogical!! Nonetheless, I'm gonna ride this drama train and watch as it all unfolds and connects. (▰_▰)
Catch y'all in season 3!! I honestly wanted some backstory to Soliette and Brian, so I didn't mind the first few chapters in season 2. Just something to show their relationship and commitment. Just some!! I know this is the author's story to tell, but they have dragged the flashback on way too long. They could have emphasized the importance of some plot points and grazed over the rest and the audience would have still gotten the gist of what happened. Like many other readers, I came into this story for Ian and Soliette (Jack) and not Brian and his dragons. This 2nd season I keep skipping chapters looking for the return of Ian's story. Sad, I really liked this story too.
One great cheating circle. Honesty is nowhere to be found in this story. The weak-ass Alpha should have been honest with the Beta after the first incident. Sure they would have fought, cried, but I think they would have gotten past it, since, at the time, it was an anonymous encounter. But then it got bad...and even worse. Cheating nonstop!! The Alpha had plenty of times to end his relationship, but nope, he's too weak. Played the distant card and now the Beta is cheating too. Cheating for everyone!! I don't feel bad for anyone.
I don't mind a lot of chapters for any manga, manhwa, or manhua, but you gotta at least keep the story line interesting. All long series have areas where they drag and the between feels like filler, but if you have it too often then you risk losing your audience and plot. And this manhwa has accomplished that for me. It dragged on way too much and I feel like it's deviated from the original premise of why Calliope went back into time. So, I gave up. It started off very strong but somewhere it lost its plot.
I'm more interested in Renee using her skills than seeing her hookup with a potential ML. I actually want to see her use her abilities in fighting monsters and training Seydin. What's the point of taking him as a disciple when we don't get to see her teaching him anything. I need my girl to let loose and shine in front of everybody and not get held down by a love side quest. Also, you know, if she has time, find out what happened to Larin and the OGFL.
She keeps mentioning her former brother in her last life, but is he going to show up? Is there going to be any resolution on this major-minor plot point in the storyline? Or was it just needless background filling for the protagonist? The story kept hinting that her brother was in this world with her, so I figured that's why she was pushing so hard to be a commoner in order to hide herself better from him. I'm disappointed if this is how it ends without any major conflict with him that leads to a better life for her. Because as she is -- she is still very much broken and in need of more therapy than making bread can bring her.
Re-read. While the unofficial translation was full of grammatical errors, I think it was slightly superior to the official translation. The official translation changed some minor details to connect to an international audience. That being said, I also noticed that the original scanlation has been removed or uploaded over, which is a shame as it gave notes and cute translator reactions to the storyline.
As for the story itself -- too short. Juheon forgave Kang way too easily. Kang should definitely thank Muchan for being tsundere/yandere type toward Juheon and tried to use the sister to trap him. Forcing Juheon back into Kang's arms. Instead I wished Muchan would have changed since HS and seriously sought a real relationship with Juheon and challenging Kang's right to be back in Juheon and Taeyang's life. Kang barely repented, still struggles with trusting Juheon, but he still won in the end using his family's money and power.
WTH??!! That's the ending?? What kind of redemption arch was that? I feel let down!! I wanted to see the CP suffer more; I wanted to see a chase; I wanted to see them reconnecting using communication. I wanted to see the General have a good ending. I wanted to see the sister get what was coming to her. There are so many threads left blowing in the wind with this sudden ending. I know the original novel was hugely abusive so much of it was toned down for the manhwa adaption, but whole sections were missing!! So, the CP (now Emperor) went on a bandit killing spree; found Yeon after 2 years; rescues him; says I can't live without you -- and I'm supposed to accept that ending?! Trash!! I refuse it!! >_<
I'm having a hard time reading this NOT due the upcoming manipulative behavior, but for that nasty apartment. BLEACH!! Use it please!! Yes, you're in a financial tight spot and you don't live in an elegant neighborhood, but that's no excuse for your living environment to be so dirty. The amount of mold in that apartment is driving me crazy and grossing me out. I can barely focus on the story every time the main characters are inside that cramped area with all the mold growing around them. All I wanna do is donate a ton of bleach and mold resistant paint to the MC to clean his place adequately and make it actually livable.
Dang, Sooyoung!! How big of a red flag do you need?! It is flashing furiously in front of your face!! Open your eyes!! Also, you have crappy friends!! All of them can see that huge walking red flag named Jihwan, but none of them are saying anything to you -- not even a secret message!! Red flags. So many of them. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
