Honey makes me feel gross so anytime I say that it’s more to carry home a point. “Honey, that’s why I said it like…” and I’ll repeat myself slowly. Stuff like that. Darling is something to jokingly call your boyfriend in a fake English accent. Babe is more palatable but the reason poor Garam is struggling is because these things don’t just roll off the tongue when you’re being nice. It’s easier to use sickly sweet pet names in a derogatory way.
So… I’m very very grateful for your the translations and all of that but I kind of want to read the novel and I have no idea what chapter to start at. I have a feeling I will like the novel better… since everything will be more detailed I feel like I’d understand what’s going on better. Can someone tell me what chapter 172 in the manhwa is in the novel?
I think as the son of my baby Jinwoo, a lot of people had this expectation that his storyline would be pretty similar. I like the difference between their personalities. I like that you can TELL while Jinwoo didn’t really have a chance to be a young adult before he got his powers because he had to toil away in dungeons that would get him killed, so much so, that when he does get power he appreciates every aspect of it. When he reverses time to protect everyone, the only greedy thing he ever does is try to have his own life and it’s actually kind of sad. Jinho grew up strong. He was strong as a baby, popular and strong as a teen even without powers, because he had no one to protect to keep living he had no need to endanger himself going in dungeons, and because of all of that when he finally gets into a dangerous life or death situation he’s cocky and he never even gets the chance to be humbled because he gets powers. When they’re weaker than he wants them to be, he acts like a spoiled child, because in comparison to Jinwoo, the boy is spoiled. The symbolism in his power of death being so frail even at the beginning of the story, is powerful. Jinwoo’s shadow abilities were NEVER that weak because he’s been through it and back but also because he IS the shadow monarch. I don’t think Jinho’s abilities will ever really reach his dad’s level and I’m okay with that. I hope he’ll be powerful in his own way to the point where they can be close to equals without Junji relying solely on shadow abilities because I’m gonna be honest…. They don’t really suit him.
I don’t think the author has realized he can avoid more BL flags even while being in a relationship if you don’t put the MC in a relationship there are so many flags that won’t ever play out and it’s a crying shame
I don’t necessarily mean ntr there’s the random miscommunication tropes, jealousy, overhearing a convo but leaving before it continues, breaking up because your partner is too good for you, a childhood friend randomly appearing and claiming they know the mc better and tries to get with the mc despite knowing they’re in a relationship. People there are options here
