Both the overall plot and relationship developments are trite and contrived Σ( ￣□￣||)
Not Taekang being like “you’re too ugly for my man to cheat with” ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
She is definitely not perfect, but she’s a normal person dealing with an insane situation. She came up with that lie out of fear for her life in the heat of the moment. She’s not a master spy, so she’s not great at spinning a web of lies.She has no papers, ID, pictures of, papers, or marriage registration for him, so it would be easy for someone to start digging and find out the ruse.
I’m not saying she hasn’t made obvious mistakes or things that are emotionally hurtful to him, but she is operating with the awareness that her lies could easily be discovered. And remember that if he leaves or gets discovered by others his brother said he would kill her.
She reasonably believes that if his memories return he will kill her to silence her as a witness or as revenge for tricking him. If he doesn’t or can’t kill her and leaves, his brother will hunt her down. It’s impossible for her to separate him from fear of death, which is why she misses obvious things because she’s still thinking of him as a threat while he’s thinking of her as a companion
I know it was unintentional but “let’s call the doctor, you seem to be having trouble with basic comprehension” is such a sick burn.
Is anyone else concerned about the fine print they didn’t get to read since Pung smashed the iPad and the “kid is IPO property and will be repossessed after the assignment is complete” clause? Ain’t no way they’re letting that kid go without a fight.
Also, where was he living before this? Was he raised in a lab, or just grown in a chamber until he was old enough to be utilized for the assignment? Did he have an actual human surrogate? Are they planning to dispose of him, or is he a genetic abnormality that won’t be able to live long anyway?
I’m guessing by killing the parents, they can assume all legal rights to the hybrid children while completely isolating them, then they can brainwash them from birth to do what the family wants them to.
I love it when “transmigrated/reincarnated into a novel” series subvert the og plot by revealing that the mc or narrator was subjective or biased! It just adds a lot more depth and intrigue to a story that can become stale when the mc always knows and prepares for everything perfectly. It adds more mystery and keeps the reader on their toes. ヾ(☆▽☆)
Ok sentient jelly hand curse is definitely the weirdest mechanism of the forced proximity trope I’ve ever seen…
The royal family pisses me off the most, because it’s their weakness and negligence that lets asshole Duke run rampant all over the kingdom ruining everyone’s lives. If he has properly protected his subject from bs drafts, Deon’s tragedy would have never happened. The king could have let Deon know the Duke was behind everything late. The king, Duke, and demon king just constantly manipulate him into a corner where his only way out is chaos and destruction
Bro if my one and only superpower that I’ve been waiting 20+ years to manifest ended up being this, I would just cry. ╥﹏╥
And so accurate to the patriarchy that they fully expect her to have sex all of the time to purify and purge energies, but degrade her for being “vulgar” when she actually enjoys it.
The uke is completely fucking nuts, but in a refreshing way? I guess I’m tired of seeing the same character types and relationship dynamics over and over again, and this seems like a welcome departure. Wishing them a happy ending tho ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I do like the story, but I find Alex’s character arc to be kind of… flat. It just feels like her abilities, accomplishments, and growth are kind of meaningless because Menas basically handed them to her on a silver platter. It’s not that she doesn’t have talent or determination, it just feels like she never has the chance to demonstrate any independent proficiency without getting a helping hand from Menas or plot armor. To me, it kind of devalues the plot and makes her a lot less interesting or enjoyable as a character.
It doesn’t even make sense that she can use Menas’ skills. Her skill clearly states that she gains abilities from bosses she DEFEATS. Menas completely faked that battle and she did not injure, incapacitate, or corner him at all beyond what he deliberately allowed. If he had different intentions, he could have turned around in that moment and wasted her, or just destroy her without faking a defeat. So she could just pay anyone to throw a fight and that get all of their skills because it still counts as a defeat?
I don’t know why Alex’s character is so poorly actualities when the author has several other op characters with better development and characterization
This comic is so unserious in the best way ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Can an FL be allowed to gain confidence with her imperfections without magically making her conventionally attractive before she can grow or attain any level of success?
I’m bummed that her birthmark “deformity” randomly vanished after she went back in time. It’s not uncommon, but it’s annoying when making sure the FL is conventionally attractive is prioritized over all else. Character arcs of MLs accepting their “imperfections” are somehow allowed, though less so because in male characters those traits are not automatically considered defining of their entire character and how they’re treated/perceived.
A knight or assassin FL is always petite and slender with no noticeably muscle or scars. A severely or terminally ill FL is always thin, but somehow not in a gaunt or jaundiced way. A non stick thin FL who is either curvy or overweight? Soul swap, reincarnation, revival, time travel, or some other trite magic with take care of that until she is supermodel slender.
Is it really so impossible to write a story where the FL learns to be comfortable with her “flaws” and attains success and love without getting a magic makeover first? I just wish stories wouldn’t even bother adding these traits if they’re just going to be magicked away for no other plot relevance than a comparative “glow up” without any relevant character development related to the traits themselves
Wow MC’s company is horrible. They need to meet with a known Percy CEO who refuses to meet with men, and send the young, low level employee with no experience with business pitches. The CEO, as expected behaves inappropriately, causing MC to become uncomfortable and leave early. Then she gets yelled at for “failing” to get the contract and told to “fix it” no matter what. Her CEO is gross and exploitative, and is basically telling her to put up with whatever nasty shit the other CEO wants to get the contract. At least the ML seems really concerned and protective.
Gross. ML is an irredeemable psychopath. So sick of toxic storylines that peddle this crap. Don’t waste your time!
The medieval equivalent of when the quiet kid says “don’t come to school tomorrow”
