Could you send me the link to TALE OF A VILLAIN i could not find it online here
Never mind its A tale of a villain right ? now i found it have a nice weekend
so the final chapter came out today
spoilers
i know huijae not knowing the ml's name is their gimmick but you really mean to tell me this 18 year old (i'm pretty sure 20 is his korean age, not international) was in a relationship with an older man when he DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIS NAME??????? the fact that his name was already in the description from day one really undermined the moment huijae found out. this didn't feel like a final chapter and the events before this didn't feel like it was building up to a final chapter. it's like there should've been a few more chapters to resolve any misunderstanding between them.
huijae cumming when ml told him his name was funny af tho LMFAO
i read the raws so i might be mistaken but i don't think beomjae (ml) ever apologized for. you know. raping huijae? and i had a feeling he was never going to apologize because to him (and as an extension, to the author), it wasn't rape. he always referred to it as "fucking" thus it was still "in character" for him. like sure. it didn't /cause/ huijae's phobia, but it sure as hell triggered it for MONTHS after. even in the last chapter i feel like they barely talk about his phobia and how important it is. and in the end beomjae says "why didn't you tell me" instead of apologizing. they don't make any mention of the fact beomjae was the one who triggered it by his assault on huijae.
the audacity to give huijae's assault real repercussions yet write in a loophole by making beomjae's touch "different than the rest" is.... gross actually. and the worst part is that it was completely unnecessary. the author ALREADY had a good opportunity to trigger huijae's phobia via witnessing beomjae murder someone. the rape was written as beomjae's attempt to "become the bad guy" so that huijae doesn't feel bad about him leaving the island i guess??? even now i can't understand the reasoning behind it, both as a character motive and as a plot point. even if you tried to ignore it, the events in season two literally would not let you LMFAO like what was the point??
i'm really disappointed because i really liked the premise of this story and the characters in season one were cute but ever since the season one finale the writing has been deteriorating. like what impression was i supposed to leave with? what was the author trying to say with this story?? that if you assault someone with a social phobia they'll grow immune to you??
I don't understand what's going on. Did the author just give up? I really liked this one
you'd think that with jk's jinx being the literal title of this story that the cause of it would be more nuanced and in depth instead of just. you know. "my jinx is reading books before matches haha maybe you should get one too!!" and jk going "yeah okay". the fact that it's brought up by a character we've never seen before and will never see again is so......... i mean come on. idk why i keep expecting more from this story?? i'm disappointed.
Besides sex, milk, cologne maybe dan's the new addition to jinx & he won't ever be able to win again without him, maybe that's the significance of jinx
thank you
it's less the significance of the jinx and moreso what the cause of it was :/ it seems so shallow to me. it's the title of the story and yet the origin of it was thrown in as a passing comment
Well the cause was his emotional scars, he had to steal milk every morning to survive (that sticks with you), kids beat him up and called his smelly rat (imagine if someone said you smelled, You'd feel self-conscious for the rest of you life & become obsessed with smelling nice at all times) and sex well that was an outlet for the trauma his shit of a father gave him every night before match, events of his life that left an impact on him emotionally, that was the cause of jinx
THANK YOU. AT LEAST SOMEONE GETS IT.
i get the milk and the cologne, but why /sex/? that's the one thing that didn't come from his backstory. milk and cologne had trauma related explanations, but the sex (which was consistently tied to abuse, power imbalance, and consent) just popped out of nowhere??? i expected the cause of that to be equally as heavy. for the cause of his jinx to be created by jk sleeping with someone off screen then magically winning a match is frustrating
Sex was basically an outlet for the trauma from his father that was haunting him, he didn't know how to let that out & outta no where he had a taste of something physical, so that became the outlet for letting those emotions out, as he said that made his thoughts about his father stop
that answers /how/ sex helped, not explain /why/ it had to be sex, which is what i'm frustrated about. there was no explicit connection between sex and his trauma like the milk and cologne had. the things you listed are what can you infer, not state. there was no reference to his dad the night he went to the club.
IM GONNA CRY!
I'm getting the urge to yank my brain out, make a smoothie of it & shove it down your throat so that you can understand
i do understand what you're saying. i just don't agree with it
Exactly Bro, so disappointed (〜￣△￣)〜sex has a charge, it should mean something within the Jinx thing...
Okay *inserts crying cat thumbs up meme*
we can agree to disagree and be happy neither of us threw insults at each other looking forward to jk's redemption arc now that he knows he likes(?) dan
Yeah definitely *shakes hand*
Looking forward to what he's gonna do with his feeling hehe
i can't help but be impressed he can time his pee so well i'm pissing myself
NOOOO AN EXTENDED HIATUS NEXT CH SEPT 2ND
OH GOD JUST KILL ME
YOURE KIDDING WHAT THE FUCK BYE
You have cat to be kitten me right meow
I was just ranting about the chapter size and now i hear about a hiatus? Why the fuck do they even bother publishing anything anymore
woah now..... we can be sad about a hiatus but like we got no business having that kind of attitude on a pirate site.... she literally had to go to the er
It was in general, idc about hiatus authors can take as many breaks a they require but issue lies at the fact is that just how they pretty much contrived a cliffhanger into this basically a 4 koma amount of chapter then take an extended leave which to me is in bad faith bcs that tells me two things, they dont care about the story and they only care about the views. and i pay for these chapters. I just come here for the comments and besides, what does piracy have anything to do with trash talking companies. You do know its not just a single person(author) behind these chapters right?
this thread is about the author and the author's decision to take a hiatus. so your comment ("why do they even bother publishing anything anymore") sounded like it was referring to the author and not the corporation as lz wasn't mentioned at all.
and that's a lot of assumptions to make. the author herself stated that she took steps in order to NOT take a hiatus but inevitably needed to prioritize her health before her work. this was solely her decision, not the publisher's. just bc this just happened to take place after a cliffhanger that i would argue is not contrived in the slightest doesn't mean they only care about views. it's just 3 weeks. it's not that serious. shit talk the company all you want but know that your comment sounded like you were shit talking the author instead
I need you to be real with me. No where is it mentioned in this thread that its about the author lmfao that is before you decided to virtue signal me that it was the author going on a hiatus. A hiatus can be taken for numerous reasons and im a firm believer that in this case its to boost its sales. You feel like it wasn’t contrived sure but its not my duty to correct your perception of who is the publisher and who is the writer, you had the internet and school for that. Also like you cant just assume that everyone is on X and are keeping up with authors lol. You could have just asked if you were confused but nah
you are more than welcome to look at their twt @Dam_heuK. i was talking about the author. you were talking about the publisher. i assumed everyone was on the same page. sure, i'll go ahead and take that fault. it's clear we're talking about different things lmfao.
i'm not sure why you're suddenly taking shots at me not knowing what the difference is between an author and a publisher when my comment didn't imply that at all but you've been aggressive this entire thread and in your other comment so i'm just gonna brush past that.
when you're this emotional and so confident you know the what the "real" reason behind the hiatus is, yeah i'd assume you had looked at the author's twts. but to make all those bad faith assumptions WITHOUT reading her twts is arrogant at best. i'm just gonna go ahead and block you and get rid of these replies bc wtf is this conversation
they said they went to the emergency room recently too
i know! i feel so bad for her she was trying really hard not to take a hiatus but it probably backfired on her
On a serious note how overworked did they make her/them do during the serialization period. I know they have chapters prepared in advance but damn…
Also they mentioned that they’ll be doing a Q/A during the break. They’re even feeding us when they shouldn’t
I SAWWW that's so sweet of her (i think her? i thought i read somewhere the author was a woman)!!!! a lot of people these days have been complaining about how often authors are taking hiatuses but i'm honestly really glad regular breaks have become so common now. hoping for a full recovery
i'm so sorry yigon but you needed to experience near death to move the plot forward okay it needed to happen
Noo he doesn’t T^T life is already cruel on him.
it has to get bad before it gets good! that's hurt/comfort babbyyy
What got me ╥﹏╥ is how used to he was being chase by random vehicles. Like that little tidbit was foul （/TДT)/
I KNOWW but honestly i did not expect it to happen IN THE VERY NEXT CHAPTER like their relationship wasn't even cold yet
regretting all the awful things you did AFTER realizing you love the person you did all those awful things to is... an interesting choice as a writer lmao
Cuz like.. what if he didnt like him. Would the abuse still be okay in his mind? If it was a person he never liked he wouldve probably never realized his wrongs
Bruh yeah honestlyyy. And what if JJK was still on a winning streak and in peak condition? Would he have ever realized any feelings for KD or that his actions were awful?
(no probably not)
TRUE. like we've never seen him spare an ounce of sympathy towards anyone other than dan in the first place. his treatment towards other people probably still is okay in his view :/
THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN THINKING SINCE CH 70 bc like.... why DOES jk like dan?? what does jk even like about him?? i can't pinpoint when it would've started or what could have triggered it. honestly the writing is making it feel like jk's conflating his affection for dan with his desperation to win (dan is just a requirement in the formula). guilt shouldn't stem just from seeing someone as a romantic partner
Yeah, up until JJK lost his match, injured his arm, and KD left, JJK held absolutely no respect or affection for Kim Dan.
While this isn't my favorite form of romance, especially with the way they threw in JJK's back story almost as if to justify his actions, I do recognize that this is Mingwa's style. It plays on the trope of 'only realizing what you had when you lose it'. Her previous work BJ Alex is pretty famous for doing the same thing. It's a writing style that's easily covered up by having the ML pine. As you mentioned, it's a workable formula but not likely to go down in BL history as anything remarkable.
