The next episode is the final episode before side stories btw. It doesn’t feel we’re close to a conclusion.
Honestly the end doesn't seem that bad. Mc found love n a place for herself. The crown prince n princess gonna split (hopefully) and wallow in misery for a bit before finding themselves. Very fitting ending
I guess it felt anticlimactic. The point we’re at feels more like the rising action/climax than the end. However, I see what you’re saying.
Here is why I think it’s icky….
Mom is white. Dad is white.
Siblings are darker skin and drawn to look manly and ugly.
Why?
The author could have kept the skin white to look like the mother and father why darken them? And it feels HELLA deliberate.
I am so tired of authors from the East and Yellow Sea doing this. When is it going to end? I’m so tired of it. Ignorance is not an excuse. This is honestly their inner prejudice manifesting subconsciously in my opinion.
I can legit only think of one or two artists from SK who have not done dark skins dirty. To me dark skin characters rep —Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino, Middle Eastern/west Asia, etc. We all know they all Asian countries have a colorism problem.
This definitely gave me the ick. I can’t read anymore and I was getting tired of the 1st and 2nd couple. I stayed for the short hair girls love story. Which honestly seemed the best written. But I wont miss this story
Probably the brother and sister is dark skin cause both work in the field, so they get a nice work body too. So it's not that they are big and dark skin is the cause. They work in the sun with a very demanding work that make them have muscle. So are muscular with a tan body.
Remember they are small Baron and not high rank nobles, less money, more freedom, probably they work their ass in the field to help or because they like it
You are just seeing your own prejudice.
Honey, you’re making up whatever to accept that this isn’t what it is. Yes, they are a baron family with less money than high ranking noble—but who said they own fields? There has been no background into Hemelias family to justify such designs. So STFU.
As of right now, they are drawn like that to make the FL seem like this “soft delicate flower,” amongst her family since she is the “baby” of the family. Its poor character design 101. The author is using these characters to bring in “comedy,” into this sequence. They are designed this way to make the FL standout. It’s supposed to be a joke. I just don’t find it amusing. There are other ways to bring comedy into the sequence. This just feels cheap.
they were only like that when they were angry, later on they looked lighter and ”womanly”
Not this brain rotted dumbass making up shit to get offended by it was for comedy effects, and I even thought an Armstrong reference. They showed them again and they're pale pretty girls so your moronic self is upset over nothing
i thought it was an armstrong reference too XD i love that family!!! and then i laughed more when they were actually normal looking its funny
Exactly!!
Due to a comment I decided to look at ep 67…
And the fact that they go back to being their families skin tone and look normal in ep 67 furthers my point.
Aggree
Exactly!!!
I’m so tired of these authors
I’m on ch 22/23 - this plot was dragged for no reason. ML could have told his roommate that they were dating if he trusts him so much. God, I hate when plots are dragged for no reason. They’ve been wanting to tell him for a few chapters. She could tell him she has a boyfriend and not say who it is.
Okay. So we all know he is an adult, but has a child body. However, I do not like this. It feels wrong. And I can’t get over that. I am curious what Korean readers feel.
There is this Nigerian actor who is in meme (googling)… his name is Osita Iheme. He looks like a child. No joke. But he is 43 years old. There is also an anime, Petite Princess Yucie, where the girls are cursed to like 10yrs old even though they’re 17 (no ecchi stuff in it).
So knowing that there is a disorder IRL that makes adults stay child looking…still is NOT ENOUGH to make me feel like this is not wrong. I don’t like that the author chose this Shota-con theme. I am quite disappointed. ☹
Now if the FL was not being pervy at all to him and treated him like a child. Hands off. Call the police. I’d be okay with this. However, that’s not the case. There have been eyebrow raising moments. I hope he turns into an adult very very soon, because this is inappropriate.
Omg I just noticed he’s a child-looking in the cover art too. I think I’ll drop this. It’s just too weird for me. I’ll come back to it after he’s an adult.
The tragedies of your past do not justify the abuse you impose on people in the present and future. I am tired of these dramas using tragic backstories to justify bad behavior. Then the MC takes it upon themselves to help them be better. It’s not their responsibility!!!
Aside from his kindness to the ukes grandma, there hasn’t been much insight on his soft side. I feel we need more than that before giving him his flowers. And yes he also saved uke from the thugs, but for a price.
From where we are now, I don’t feel like this character arc will be strong enough for me to forgive the seme but idk… there are still more episodes to go.
I was reading the summary and when it got to her non-biological step brother, I decided I will not read this. This is not for me.
they haven't gotten sexual with eachother
Okay that’s good! The way they added him, I thought he’s part of her sex ring. They should have written it in a way that does add him to the list.
there is no implication in the story that he’s interested right? They have a familial relationship?
yeah it seems like it even though they haven't been sexual yet, which he is actually introduced later in the story, I'm not sure if it will happen later but nothing right now hints it. he just knows that she has sex with the other 2 guys
It’s nice having a FL who is not shy about sex or their body. I’m so tired of shy naive FL in manga age over 25 who know nothing about sex or don’t have a shred of confidence in their body. I feel like many women have some confidence! Even if it’s a front (fake it till you make it). And I’d like to see more of that type
Fuck this shit. Shitty writing ass. That inner monologue was fucking shit. Shit. . At least he knows he was a shit head.
As for the twink — Kind characters can be assertive. They can have self respect. Maybe my idea of respect is twisted but this spineless twink lacks it. Even for himself.
I don’t feel like the twink will get the apology he deserves. I don’t believe this author can write a character arc that will make me forgive this top (sorry I didn’t bother learning these guys names). The only good thing about this manhwa as of ch 76 is the art. Writing is not on par. It’s weak.
