Okay this devolved into such wish fulfilment fantasy. And the rich overnight part pisses me off. Like yeah, get rich overnight by inheriting a fortune or discovering some lost treasure Count of Monte Cristo style, but a gold mine? and an untapped one? first, how tf is is untapped when you dig a couple of days and get a couple of buttloads of gold, could've tripped over that shit and figured it out. Second, let's say no one has ever seen how glittery gold the water from that mountain is, developing a mine still takes time my dear, and there's a limit to how much I personally believe you can get on credit. Like... the creditor has to truly believe that goldmine is bottomless to borrow you so much money that you can just go around mansion-shopping. And she's supposed to have grown up poor but be smart, yet she's spending that money like she gonna die tomorrow. I know I know, I'm just being way too expectant of this story, truth is she has a gold mine so now she's hella rich overnight. Great.
I'm actually fine with stupid obsessive ex main lead character being stupid and obsessive, and she deals with him fine, it's the other guy that sucks. Like, he's all "I'm in love with you cause you're so independent and cool" but also he does everything for her and is there to save her from anything. Had she not done the whole love letter trick to the crazy one ro win the trial, I would've said she's quite useless. But she's fine, it's him that's a violent walking cliche.
Anyway this is boring and i bet i can predict the rest if the story. Everyone suddenly simps over her (as they've been doing up to now), duke father of crazy one is the main villain of the story, son kills father but doesn't get full pardon from the story, at some point we'll have author ex machina to talk about how there's a hidden force that makes people act according to novel, she has to decide whether to stay in the story or go home because for some reason this is also an into-novel-transgression story, something gods of novel writing aka author turn out to be extra big bad final boss, everyone helps to win final fight but she deals final blow, then marriage side story, then kids side story. i think former fl gets forgiven. dunno, won't return, it was boring up to this chapter and it got me to not care for the characters.
Stockholm syndrome is a complicated thing that is hard to write well, not this simplistic stupidity. even adding masochistic wake up call doesn't cut it, the ending was so badly written. if you wanted a happy (sort of) ending, the twist should've been that all this tine they were a couple doing a kidnapping play and the flashbacks were from long long ago.
Anyway good porn I guess, just don't think much about the plot and you're gold.
It's not really a stockholm syndrome. Mc just realized that they both are in simmilar situation with no one from their closest ones caring for them, so he prefered to stay with the other guy than with his shitty family who didn't even noticed that he disappeared for over a week. It is a happy ending to be true.
I can never get into car sex, the reality of the act bothers me too much. Like, we are shown that these 2 men are huge...and cars are small... and my man was giving a blowjob and had his head all down in redhead's junk and I guess his whole body was just squeezed into the leg compartment for the copilot... (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
I am generally particularly angry about the fact that the rest of the world does not know that erna is trying to get a divorce and leave that asshole, and they still believe she's just recuperating in the countryside. To those who finished the novel (cuz I gave up when he was already in the countryside imposing like crazy on her and she was just taking it like a doormat, and yes I insulted her too) do they ever get to know? does it ever get out how trashy their beloved prince is? or does erna spend the rest of her life covering up his ass to protect that shining baby butt image?
Why do I hate this so much? like, the art is gorgeous and it even has a mystery plot.. but by the rime they get to the sex scenes I'm already too annoyed with the characters that I can't even look at them properly, I just skip to the end to spare myself some cringe
IMO they don’t balance out the shitty characters. Characters can only be so unlikable. And the sex scenes would be good if he wasn’t constantly screaming stop. And if there was at least an attempt to stretch him out. Like you can’t just shove a dick in that hole. He’d be torn. Just a little more effort and the story wouldn’t be so annoying. I’m still going to read it when I have nothing else to read though….
I read here some time ago a comment saying that the manhwa gives us a lot more of Bjorn's perspective and that humanizes him, and I kept thinking about as I was reading the last chapters. I tried reading the novel a while ago as I wanted to se Bjorn grovel, but couldn't finish it as I was annoyed at how fast Erna was giving in to him while rationalizing it, while I would've liked her to rather play the madwoman and say no. Anyway, somehow, I hate this Bjorn even more. I think the fact that I was only seeing him from Erna's perspective in the novel was helping, not being in his mond allowed me to wonder what his excuses were, and imagine them for myself, even when I was still imagining sociopathic excuses. Now, seeing his mindset a lot more (personally I don't think it's that much more than in the novel) he just seems more shitty, but thinking of the difference helps me empathize with Erna more. It's a lot easier to make excuses yourself for someone else than to accept their excuses.
Fuck him.
This was so shit. Everyone here needs to go to either prison or a mental hospital. but mostly prison.
these plot points were written by a 14yo and the story was goven then to adults to expand and put into writing and paper without being allowed to change the plot points in any way to make sense, and I will die on that hill.
in the first place, WHO ON EARTH JUST ACCEPTS A RANDOM DRUG THAT YOU WERE GIVEN BY A PERSON YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IN 6 YEARS AFTER A 3 MINUTE HURRIED CONVERSATION????? AND HE FUCKING TOOK IT THAT NIGHT? uke, are you stupid? are you mental? are you that slow, is it that kind of a story??? fuck, on that page I was having alarms ring in my head already, fucking disaster leven sirens screaming at me, but the idiot was just idioting around. And after he got tricked into turn into an omega, kidnapped and raped for days straight, he's still like -im gonna kick him cause he was mean- no no no, you gonna go to the police you fucking dipshit, go report him imidiately! and the other dipshit that saved him is like - i kno you got kidnapped and raped and drugged and other stuff, but instead of police or hospital, how about I take you to another one of your attacker's victim and tell you my backstory?- and what do you know, the other victim magically wakes up from the coma that moment, yey. funny thing is, you could explain it actually, say that because dipshit 2 didn't even let dipshit 1 take a shower before dragging the rape victim into coma person's hospital room, dipshit 1 was still covered in rapist's pheromones and maybe the coma person felt them and reacted and that's why he woke up, but guess what, story doesn't give a fuck to imply that. coma person just magically wakes up after his story was told to +1 persons, and proceeds to say rapist is of no blame for what happened to me, it was me who OD.ed. which is fair enough, they were both forced into fated pair pairing as children, but after coma person sais he forgives rapist, everyone is like... you go girl, go fight for your lover - to dipshit 1. and I hate it. literary, rapist ml is my favourite because he's just evil and selfish, and not stupid, he knows he deserved prison. and fuck that other doctor too, he deserves prison as well










that felt so wrong... I mean, since uke doesn't remember, for him it's basically having a friend/ former colleague break into your apartment, use your kitchen, u say ok weird but gonna let it slide cuz food and friendship, then he jumps you and forces you even tho you say no...and insist it you who's weird because you accepted this before...I expect a lot of guilt from silver head in the morning
