She's still a commoner, she can't just call him by his name like that... Are you new to reading manhwas like this? Are you new to reading history in general? Even women in places like Europe didn't call the king or prince of a place by his name directly, no matter how much of a lover or wife they were.

I know that's exactly why its annoying. Rather than her stopping saying that he should rather want to be called a husband. Realistic or not its obviously much more romantic to have a equal way to call each other, not this power play thing. Which means that im not saying its unrealistic, im expressing distain

"I know it's realistic for the time but it's annoying to me" bro literally a week before this she had thought she'd never see him again. The difference in status is VAST. Ofc she is going to call him by what she should. He could kill her in a second if she oversteps her position.
Even tho we know he wouldn't.
And if you had paid attention to this very chapter he literally says "who is this milord you speak of" implying actually exactly what you're wanting that he is trying to get her to see them more as equals.
Maybe pay attention to the chapter before bitching? Or stop reading historical fiction if you can't handle it lol

Girl calm tf down people cant even voice their opinions anymore without someone bitching and moaning. Im literally not blaming anyone im just saying i dont like that master/milord thing like many other people aswell. Its not that big of a deal take a breather and drink some water its not like im name calling anyone

You're reading a historical fiction and you're mad there's historical language??
You gotta be like 12 lmao
If it's not that big of a deal you wouldn't have commented lol

Who pissed in ur coffee this morning. Nothing i said warrants this type of response. Did i not agree where u were coming from before u started being passive aggressive as shit. Not everyones out to get u or this author who u seem to be riding rn

But like southerners like to say, bless your heart

Oh this is sooo hilarious bc you're not even saying it right first of all and it's me (an actual native Appalachian) who should be saying that LMAO

Oh thats so great for u want a scooby snack

Nah I don't eat anything a kid with sticky hands gives me. It's unsanitary

For someone so obsessed with calling another a kid, how old are u

Guess lmao

How old are you lmao. No way you're over 19

Ironically i js turned 20

This is literally going nowhere. Most useless conversation goes to: probably us

You definitely have a right to voice that opinion, personally i get annoyed everytime I see modern talk in historical manhwas. I enjoy historical manhwas to stay realistic, it adds that extra quality to it even if it's just language which I personally appreciate, it really sets the mood for that era and makes it easier to get immersed in the story which is something I love, though like our friend mentioned here it seems like he's slowly wanting that equal footing, they've just reunited and have just now confessed so the formal name dropping might be coming sooner than we think :)) I think during medieval times even as a married couple the queen would call the king "your majesty" out of respect to his position, kind of like in certain mångas you see mom calling the dad "dad" or the opposite, just a respectful thing or when a subordinate calls their boss "boss" its the same principle basically but i hear you!! You want them to have that equal title and it definitely is romantic, sets my butterflies going and sometimes even look forward to seeing characters sweet talking!

I respect that, and agree. But as this is romance, i expect to see romance. And i dont see what i said as a big deal, its like when i are frustrated with something and just say ur feelings u feel me. Everyone else here with the same opinion should learn ur manners

That makes so much sense now lmao. And btw, I'm 26, almost 27. You're wanting a modern romance. This is not the story for that.

Ive had my fair share of arguments here where people couldn't accept my opinion on things gotta say at times I could've handled it better and had the respective tone I had just now with you so I'd say it happens is all on here. This is my personal opinion as to where I think it might've gotten wrong but I think maybe you should've formulated it better at the start? It has happened me aswell where i write something with a specific tone and thats what sets some people off, not only that but not all romances are full blown romances, there are subtle ones I've read where I've wondered where if the romance is the friends we made along the way Then there are slow burns,
such as this one so it'll take time, we just have to be patient and let the author cook especially if they want to follow that realistic historical narrative, I've read plenty of modern manhwas where the mc won't drop the word "sir" or "boss" until the very end so this isn't much different I'd say?

I mean yeah probably bc i curse like a sailor but id still say the responses were very unwarranted. I wasnt even criticizing the story btw or even her saying my lord, it was that she kept saying it every other sentence. Where my biggest mistake came was interacting with comments

Wasnt a very fruitful conversation but good day to u regardless senior

ah, so you meant that it got repetitive? Yeah I understand that frustration, I'm not sure if that still applies to the respect thing? Where commoners always gotta keep in mind to stay respectful to someone higher up on the social ladder? Again seen that too on modern manhwas, it's annoying asf, could be a cultural thing?

I mean you're allowed to curse but if it was just the repetitive thing that bothered you then maybe that's what got misunderstood I myself thought you meant for her to change to a more casual talk

Hope you grow big and strong kiddo

Read this whole thread and all I have to say is yall need an award or something lmao
