Authors need this much of an age gap. It plot could’ve been the same even if they were closer in age…
I mean the mc probably would have never been kept and raised by another minor. Like wasnt he 10 and the groomer brother 20, if it was a slightly more acceptable (4-5 years or less) then the brothers wouldn't be able to own property to hide mc.
But he wasn’t hiding him ? he just took him in. If they were closer in age he still could’ve looked after MC. They also would’ve let them stay together since he was the only guide compatible to him. It would’ve taken out the aspect of him being a groomer and made him a childhood savior/ friend instead.
This dude went and took a child and kept him, with the usual government response suppose to put them into a foster center for other children who are alone due to gates. If the groomer wasn't an adult he wouldn't have the ability to ensure the mc gets stuck at the esper center and raised in his own private home. MC would have been stuck as a personal guide yes,but probably raised beyond the groomer's personal toy and he'll probably would have gotten more than 3 outfits or an actual socialized education by the time it matches the story. A powerful child esper would have less influence than the adult version, like other espers, guides, and staff of the area never mentions how werid he was raised there and never leaves. Hell the non groomer brother would have known the existence of mc cause the groomer brother wouldn't have been able to influence the executives to him mc that well at age 15, they would have to share from an early age especially as one of them needs guidance way more.
In the end it would have been a childhood friend story where the mc would have more freedom since his legal guardian would have been some executive that wasn't the brothers, or at the next option he would be become a ward of their parents and he's stuck under the same roof and still shared between them.
I mean but this is going off the story exactly as it is. Im saying they could’ve written it with a smaller age gap and still written it to be the same plot. The details would’ve changed but the overall story wouldn’t have to be changed drastically and then we wouldn’t have this groomer plot
I get your point but the plot is the way it is because of the age gap. There would've been no power dynamics that kept the groomer brother in control of the mc at all times, and there woudlve been no emotional manipulation of the mc, etc. I mean if they were the same age it would've been just the "groomer" brother bring a obsessed clean freak but that woudkve made the mc actions naive and dumb. Not the consequences of him being sheltered and groomed by the groomer brothwr
I’m actually crying over their backstory. I don’t know how someone can have all those visions, and not be completely consumed with despair and anger. I wouldn’t blame any of them for their hatred. They have been wronged and abused since the beginning, and they are STILL ostracized from society and treated poorly. This has been a beautiful and painful story since the start, I hope they can have their happy ending and all the Kanagi (?) can also live on peacefully, INCLUDING MIKA!
I know we knew the island was behind the rest of the world, but the last few chapters really reminded me of AOT when we find out what was in the basement. Like all the shock, anger and frustration I got from learning about the truth and the past
Is he having a nightmare? Cause the season finale ended with them falling down a ravine, and wasn’t the emperor injured?
Unfortunately it's not a nightmare. The emperor's injuries were not life threatening.
Damn. Thank you for answering
Next few chapters have me so sad. Please don’t ask me what’s going on cause I haven’t translated them yet, just looked at the pictures lol. The only good thing is that we finally get to see what that guys looks like without a beard
Does anyone have a link to an English translation of the novel? And know what chapter the new season would be in the novel?
Yay! Thank you sm!!
I wonder why panels were added to the chapter after it was already uploaded. I wonder if it was a mistake or they just decided to add them. I hope they’re uploaded here as well
That the center treated them so badly that they “broke” them to the point they don’t wanna remember. Also suspicious that something happened at K’s work right before his body started changing, could be a coincidence but also maybe not…..I wonder if lil A will try to fertilize his eggs next time. Cause last week I kept thinking “that’s not how you get chicks” lmao
Does Byul smell like that laundry detergent or something? Or do we not know about the significance of that yet?
Correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not completely sure, but I think Byul's scent is lemony? meaning that Siwoo probably likes his scent leading to him buying lemon scented detergent.
Ahhhhhhh that would make sense!
