Seriously though, i have seen comments of other stories where people get upset that the ml doesn't apologise for sexually assaulting the mc which is totally valid bcs self awareness is important and shows character. But now that a ml has apologised, yall be like "we will never forget it!" Or "it will not be forgotten! You're still bad!" Like ik yall dw it to exist in the first place but if the author alr has it inside the story and made the ml apologise alr, what else do u want? Just take the damn apology. #－.－)
Edit : alot ppl are reading this wrong even though I have put SO MANY indicators that HIS ACTIONS ARE WRONG AND I KNOW THAT Σ( ￣□￣||) plus why are yall even going against me for the thing i literally agree with yall with? SA IS BAD AND YOU'RE RIGHT. NOT ACCEPTING THE APOLOGY IS ALSO IN UR RIGHT TO DO SO. My opinion may not be to everyone's liking but IM NOT IGNORING THE SA!! I STATED THAT IT'S BAD!!! Gosh pls stop saying Im ignoring it ╥﹏╥
ngl, just bc someone apologizes doesn't mean you have to accept the apology. being sorry doesn't excuse your past actions and people have the right to feel how they feel. but hey if you think that way, that's okay too
I get what you mean and you're not wrong ╮(￣▽￣)╭ it's just im so sick and tired of people having to repeatedly complain abt it. I just hope they can just comment like how u expressed it, where they don't accept the apology cause of their actions, but they instead straight up say "he is still a piece of shit" uk...like if you've seen other stories. Or sometimes ppl comment "he could've at least apologised" and then they proceed to comment "I still don't like that he thinks apologising will help him" It's the irony yk.... Where they wanted smth amd when's its given, they still can't accept it smh...
Hello?? Is the bar that low that the bare minimum seems like a huge thing now? Ofc he apologized but he was forgiven too soon bruh SA isn't a joke plus most of the comments from before would just hate on his actions and not ask for an apology. It's crazy how you came up with that conclusion just from a few comments but anything to justify your yaoi seme #－.－)
it's understandable that you're annoyed by the irony and contradiction of "readers" but you have to know that those readers are not a singular person. they all have different opinions on different stories. this manhwa is a separate story—it's its own story, don't act as if the comments about them wanting the ml to apologize and the comments about them not forgiving the ml are all in the same comment section. be for real. your opinion is an opinion, but it's not valid. your annoyance doesn't excuse your deliberate ignorance to the SA.
Thumbs up
Do note : I don't usually respond like this but u CLEARLY did not understand me AT ALL.
First of all - u read that all wrong. Im not excusing the SA. Σ( ￣□￣||).
Second - EVERYONE'S OPINION IS RESPECTED from me. I AM NOT BLAMING THE ONES THAT STATED CLEARLY THEY DON'T ACCEPT THE APOLOGY. I AM TARGETING THE ONES THAT CONTRADICT THEMSELVES. Just to make it clear. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Thirdly, I knew ppl where gonna go against the duke for his actions alr and THEIR FEELINGS ARE VALID. It consist of wrong actions and morals so ofc it is to be brought up and kept in mind. Commenting a simple "He may have apologised but that doesn't excuse his behaviour/SA" would be good. But instead there are some who commented "So what if he apologised, he still hurt the mc". The difference is that they blatantly ignored or had the apology flew over their heads. When smth is AT LEAST added into the story by the author to TRY to mend a problem between the characters, It sld at least be recognised. Wld u rather the duke never apologised? And just got the SA to be left under a rug? No right? So acknowledging the apology is THE LEAST us readers can do. Accepting it? Not necessarily. HENCE, my opinion TO YOU may be invalid but clearly some ppl agree and im not against anyone who disagrees with me. Im willing to understand everyone's opinion on the matter and widen my perspective.
NOTE : intially, i agreed with what u said, u are right and everyone have their own opinion on the matter. Mine may be invalid to many people such as yourself and sure that's understandable :) However....
Here's what made me upset - You blamed me of having, AND I QUOTE, "deliberate ignorance to the SA".
....did I say his actions were excused?....did i state that he did nothing wrong? No. I DID NOT. An apology is there FOR A REASON. It's to remind and track back for the readers that HE DID DO SMTH WRONG WHICH IS SPECIFICALLY, THE SA HE DID TO THE MC. So i am really not understanding where u got my "ignorance" to the matter.
I WILL STATE THIS AGAIN. He apologised. Does it need to be accepted by the readers even though the mc accepted it? No. It's VERY valid to have ur own feelings towards the character who did smth bad that u can't forgive them for. EVERYONE has their pov and I WHOLE-HEARTEDLY accept that.
My original comment may be misleading and quite immature, yes. But after the first person replied to me, i understood what they meant and fixed my opinion on the matter to try understand everyone's feelings and pov of the apology.
HIGHLIGHTING THE PROBLEM I HAD - as u stated, IT'S THE CONTRADICTION of their opinion that im having problems with. It's like saying "I don't like strawberries but I like strawberries on cakes" which literally goes against each other. Alot of readers wants this and that to happen, but when it happens, they still can't accept that it happened and continue to criticise the plotline cause they want things done their way (could've written their own story atp)...but that's abt what im frustrated abt.
Hope this clears all the misunderstandings (=・ω・=)
One, I don't like the duke. I like the wolf male lead (forgot his name)
Two, im just stating that there are some ppl out there who contradicts themselves and are never pleased with what's done smh....
Three, I did not say his actions were valid. SA is a sensitive topic that will hurt many and as the duke has gone and done it, it's just unfortunately written that way. IT IS VALID THAT PEOPLE DON'T ACCEPT THE APOLOGY. But at least acknowledging it wld be gd enough. You don't find bare minimum actions done in bl nowadays (which is unfortunate) so acknowledging that he did it cld be THE LEAST we cld do.
Lastly, I repeat, SA IS SEEN, REMEMBERED AND NOT FORGIVEN by many which is WHOLE-HEARTEDLY VALID. It's wrong to commit crimes ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~.
Do rmb it's the CONTRADICTION of people's OWN OPINIONS to the matter that im complaining abt. NOT the SA. NOT the differing opinions. NOT the apology not being accepted. (⌒▽⌒)
But ur acting like people were insistent on an apology tho?
Bro i hate how ml thinks. "It'll only happen/be there for a while, so he'll eventually forget abt it after its done" LIKE??? HOW ABOUT THE IMPACT DURING THE SITUATION??? (︶︿︶)＝凸
So basically there's 3 timelines???
Bro the order is kinda messy and there's so many type of spoilers im kinda having trust issues rn.
I may be false in the comments but correct me if im wrong pls, i just took this from the comments
You're meaning to tell me that the current huimin is actuallu from timeline no.2? And current Iheon travelled back in time in timeline 1 so i consider this as timeline 3.
Timeline 1 is the "story".
Timeline 2 is origin Huimin.
Timeline 3 is both travel back in time Iheon and origin huimin.
Timeline 1 was tragic. Ended badly for both persons. Traumatic asf for them.
Timeline 2 was happy memories of iheon amd huimin being besties.
Timeline 3 is currently.
So was it a false reality for huimin in timeline 2? Or is it ACTUALLY a timeline that existed? Pls help patch things up for me im literally having trust issues with the spoilers in other ppl's comments also if yall saw my replies do ignore them (they are partially wrong and i just realised too srry for misinfo) Σ( ￣□￣||)
Didn't someone say timeline 2 was a dreamworld Huimin created?
I'm not really sure, but it seems like after the events of the "story book" or timeline 1, they ended up stuck in timeline 2. While there, Iheon gained his memories from timeline 1 and tried to convince Huimin to leave with him to go "abroad." Huimin refused to go with Iheon, though, so Iheon left to get back to their world (timeline 1) before everything happend. Iheon got there expecting to just redo timeline 1 with the same Huimin of the past and was surprised to find that Huimin was different, too, because he didn't know that the Huimin of the fake world (timeline 2) was going to follow him to the past of timeline 1 with only his memories of timeline 2. Of course, Huimin still has his memories of the original timeline 1, but he has blocked his memories out and convinced himself they are the memories of someone else as a trauma response. So it's not really isekai, and timeline 3 is just a divergence of timeline 1 created by them coming from the future and making different choices.
Ohhh that makes more sense tysm!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Np
Tbh the only valid person in the story rn...imagine being in his place bro i would've rage quit.
So after reading the spoilers I can't believe the author wrote it like that....tell me when they can finally live happily ever after :(
