i hate this manhwa for giving me such bad 2nd ml syndrome. nora ily but norshu will NEVER hit me like jershu does. i love/hate the 'fl's old ass husband has a son who is the same/close in age to her but they can't be together because she's technically his stepmom' trope and unlike 'a stone thrown in a lake' which only has this situation in timeline 1, this story commits to it in both timelines and kills me. never thought i would prefer the blonde guy to the stereotypical black hair ml but here we are
jeremy is truly one of the most tragic characters of all time, i ADORE him and shuli. in both timelines and in any world, he will always give up on her for her happiness and reputation. he is a reflection of his father in appearance and just like how johannes gave up on vika because max could give her the world, jeremy will give up on shu because nora can give her the world. jershu
i can see why people like this because it definitely wasn't boring but for me, there was so much wrong with this, zeno and kuro ending up together was weird, kuro doesn't even speak like wtf she felt like an animal to me and if there was a warning, that would've been cool... also all the incest stuff played off for laughs near the end was odd. i know it's a common trope in jpn but maybe tone it down LOL if it's gonna be a trope, make it trope, don't just shoehorn it in at the end i wasn't prepared for that bs. oh right and the actual plot, mc was lowkey immature but that was fine, it was the ML that really threw me off. he's still the same guy also i think bertia and og!heronia are supposed to be different, right? but i just can't see that much developmental difference between bertia/ogfl, it felt like ogfl (from the original game timeline) was just in bertia's body and og!villainess bertia was in the new heronia's body. oh and skinny = good, fat = evil (which was insane).
this is manga so i am not surprised. this is fiction so it can exist and i don't think anyone's morality should be judged if they like this. but man, it sucked. wish i could get the time i spent reading this back.
leo (the ML) is genuinely insane bc he went from pointing his sword at a 3 yr old to worrying about said 3 yr old's MOTHER being afraid of lightning / thunder and randomly falling down the stairs?? not the kid but the FL??? she's a grown woman, why would she be afraid.... can't even blame ogfl for being salty about being ditched atp. he's also boring af. the ogFL is clearly being manipulated and but it is so surface-level that it's not even made me curious to see who/what is manipulating her and what their goals are. mainly bc idgaf what happens to leo because he's literally a nothing burger of a character. lukas is very good but he's turning into the 2nd ML even tho he's more interesting than actual ML. love the FL's family, hate her ex husband and his mother, not even bc they're evil but they're just plain. everyone is genuinely uninteresting except mc, her son and ML's friend.
the mc's friend is okay too and honestly i wish this was more plot and less romance bc the romance is boring and the plot is dry. maybe if they stopped doing these forced/awkward romantic scenes and focused on improving the plot, it would be less boring
the ML would be far more interesting if this wasn't a second chance type of story. if we had stayed on the original timeline, this story would be so dark and fascinating. don't get me wrong, i like it anyway but making this a realistic manhwa with no going back in time would've given it so much flavour. i wish we could see more of timeline 1's ivorre!
Yeah it's actually a unpopular opinion
That would be utter disgusting stepson craving for stepmother and it's not like king had abused the mc in 1st timeline
They are Royal imagine a cp marrying his stepmother and she also not a concubine but a proper queen (2nd though) it's good that they got second chance
it's not like she was his stepmother fr though, he refused to call or acknowledge her as that, didn't he? her actions were more like an enemy's than a stepmother's. he had feelings for her in timeline one and offered her to run away with him (marriage isn't the only ending for a couple and timeline 1 sidis doesn't even want to be king lol "i never desired the throne"). i don't think it would be "disgusting" because she never developed that kind of bond with him nor is she at the age to be his mother. having the story stay in timeline 1 would just be a disturbing and darker version of the story and far more interesting than the overused back in time trope
Enjoy the new chapter. Sorry for the poor quality on the cover, idk why that happened.
I’m boutta kiss you on the mouth dawg what’s your tumblr I’ll follow you (if you’re open to sharing that info, that is lol)
tysm but i don't want to link this account to my tumblr, sorry
No worries, I totally understand!
i fmucking lov vincent urhdhdmsmejkdkd 10/10 character if he was the ml, if he was the mc, if he had his own manhwa, i would reread every fuckfign day im derioudly so iib love w him
lovable characters, hasn't even been a day since i read this in one binge but i miss them all already :')
well, the plot took a weird turn but tbh i took this as a polywin (eugene x cain x herrace were the realest ot3), would've been a better story w/o daniel but he grew on me, wished he became closer to everyone. tbh herrace also wasn't that interesting to me at first but grew on me a lot more than daniel did. ultimately eugene/cain cleared, would've loved an ot3 ending with them but ehhh, i loved the mls and the fl was ridiculous enough that it wasn't off putting.
most iconic quote: "my handsome men! where have you three been?" (passes out)
if you're thinking about reading this, do it, you won't regret it, 10/10
