Diego is a badly written plot device that exists only to hinder the relationship of the main leads and provides little to no substance to the story/world as a whole.
He doesn’t even serve as a remotely interesting or captivating second love interest because we already know Ibelina only has eyes for the duke and vice versa. There is no suspense of a “will they or won’t they”. Just frustration that these blockers exist only to slow the relationship down and nothing else.
The postpartum depression, the isolation (imagine having to get permission to see your family and friends), being ignored by the people who work for you, and an estranged husband who murdered so many people— one in front of her. No wonder she had so much pent up resentment and took it out on the one person she could. It was definitely wrong of her— her situation doesn’t excuse her actions. But at least, we understand a bit of how hard it was for her
Also I think with how lacking psychological help is in that time period it made sense why the husband thought that just letting her be and ignoring the fact that she was a negligent mother would be the right thing. It wasn’t. But I’m sure he did feel sorry for her to some degree so he let things go on without confronting her about her actions.
But really, he should have. They should have talked and tried to understand each other better but that just wasn’t done back then. How frustrating.
Finally someone that’s actually smart!
The other guy just tried to rape him and he used that to his advantage. It wouldn’t have been a lie either!
Can Sasha, Art, and Rebecca have a poly relationship??? It could actually work and be a healthy one too
uggggggggg, pls, PLEASE. I want this to happen so much.
Yes please I think it's unlikely but I really want it to happen
Yesssssssლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Oh boohoo what f*kin sob stories.
“I’m so pitiful because the person I abused is so much better than me.”
“I worked so hard to manipulate people into thinking I’m the best”
Just sod off you bloody wankers
He didn’t work for shit he relied on his “beauty” while ivona had been working for years he need to stop throwing a temper tantrum and grow up
While highly unlikely I just hope the abusive nature is all part of the bdsm play and they have proper aftercare. BUT this is yaoi so that’s 99.9% probs not going to happen and the seme is just straight up abusive.
Epilogue?? What do you mean EPILOGUE???
Is the epilogue of the first life.
PHEWWW I FREAKED THE F OUT
Cant stand the MC.
Overly cocky with “their” powers but ultimately mediocre with their skills. The only thing they have going for them is the mana that they were born with which came from their father. They barely know how to use the sword, they cheated in their sorcery training by relying on their summons, and now they only use their summons to fight for them and for some reason everyone thinks that’s skill. All they’re doing is telling their more skilled workers what to do like an incompetent boss who really takes the cake with “my subordinates triumphs are my triumphs”
Someone slap them with a wake up call??? Or are we just goin g to keep having this Mary Sue shoved down our throats??
they really aren’t that cocky about their powers because they don’t use them a lot tbh nor talk about them a lot. Like it’s only the beginning of this story you barely know what they have going for themselves. They could eventually have a skill of swordsmanship and you act like it ain’t normal for a teenager to cheat on their tests? Sorcery and Summoning is very very different and they found a loophole of completing her tests. If they can’t be a sorcerer they can be a summoner. They’re powerful because both parents just so happen to have one being a king of water spirits and another is a very powerful sorcerer and summoner. Plus in the beginning they couldn’t even do simple thing with their MAIN element aka water. Couldn’t even breathe under water. So i think you not being able to stand the MC is kinda too early in this story. Chill and wait for character and power development
compare to others this is the bare minimum of being cocky and it boring to see completely humble MCs actually it's more cliche.
compared*
AMEN!!!
PREACH
Lol looks like I made a controversial post.
I’ll still stand by what I said. MC is unlikeable, all the side characters are very one-note, and the story also feels all over the place.
I’ll come back when it has 20 more chapters to see if it improves. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
it’s not controversial when the story itself hasn’t been out that long to even get a strong foundation.. so there shouldn’t have been a disagreement in the first place.
well for some people 40+ chapters is a long time. but since the story itself didn't progress much timewise you're right here
@dessy controversial enough that 22 people agree with me and 16 didnt. That’s pretty split I’d say. Anyway you ought to read stuff with good pacing. These stories intrigue, character development, and plot pick up well before chapter 40 IMO. If you hadn’t read these yet, here’s some suggestions: (most of these re roughly in the same vein as this manhwa so you might like them)
-emperor and the female knight
-a step mother’s marchen
-Ebony
- solo leveling
- Beware of the villainess
- When the villainess loves
-It Looks Like I’ve Fallen into the World of a Reverse Harem Game
- King’s maker (yaoi but damn the first season is only 37 chapters and so much happens holy hell)
lol i already read those. All the people is asking that is disagreeing with you is that you have patience you can’t hate a character that you barely know.
Then awesome
Eh, you could say I barely know Trump (since I don’t know his backstory, etc) but I still hate his guts.
lol that comparison! (≧∀≦) (￣∇￣")
that comparison is kinda.. weak because he shows his character daily.. but alright ╮(￣▽￣)╭
In your opinion. ╮(￣▽￣)╭ it’s more along the lines of how people defend him like “well have you actually met the guy??? Do you know his whole story??” No. Not really. You don’t need to know everything about a person to not like them. In this case we’re literally reading the character’s story. The character is literally “showing their character” in every chapter lol. We know their personality and how they deal with situations and bottom line is
Idon’tLikeThem
Doesn’t matter to me if you do because that’s your opinion. But go off I guess ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Yeah it doesn’t matter. If you don’t like them so much just drop the story. Why read something you obviously don’t like. It gets irritating to see people like you to continue say you hate this or that when others are reading it happily. If you hate it so passionately.
Just
Lol I literally said I was going to pause this and wait for 20+ chapters and come back to see if there’s any improvement.
You can always learn from story telling tricks from good stories but more so from bad ones. And putting it into words about why i think they aren’t doing as well as they could is fun to me. Also the plot felt like such a train wreck that I couldn’t help but keep reading.
You can always just downvote and ignore such comments. Life’s no fun when you’re stuck in an echo chamber with people who only agree with your opinions.
Plus if there were people on the fence about reading this, imagine if all there were were comments singing praises. They’d think the story is amazing only to go in, waste an hour or two to be sorely disappointed. The fact that more than half of the people who voted on this comment agree with what I said shows that the story isn’t universally liked. Having a few critical comments hurts no one and helps people make better decisions. Like a negative Amazon review that actually takes the time to explain why the mc is unbearable or why a story is bad. Feel free to get mad at the people who say “this story sucks” with no explanation though.
╮(￣▽￣)╭
So I’m really liking this manhwa. Yes there were extremely problematic behaviors but those were actually addressed unlike 95% of all yaoi out there. When he said he wouldn’t do anything till the other guy consented, and he kept to it, that had me living.
What I wish the mangaka would address though is the fight, flight, and freeze ways that people deal with conflict. The uke freezes at conflict out of fear or shock and is unable to make a decision. That’s a classic case of ‘freeze’ that happens to people even if they try not to. It’s not their fault and I wish to one day find a manga/manhwa that addresses it.
Fawn is the fourth where at the first sign of conflict the person does everything they can to appease the situation whether or not they actually agree/believe the other person. A very yes-man sort of stance.
