it paints such a startling picture of the kpop industry. because this was written by an author, who probably just did surface research or interviewed acquaintances. but even from the POV of a regular person looking in, the horrifying weight requirements of an idol is treated so callously & framed as this quirky, eye-of-the tiger moment for her.
even after all that segment about her ex members bullying her about her weight, turns out, their fucked up, near anorexic expectations of body weight WASN'T the problem. it's because they weren't nice about pointing it out!
that's just... that just so insane to me man.
not a fan of the 'getting revenge is sooo bad cuz you won't be happy in the end uwu :'(' trope. you can really feel the preachy catholic undertone sometimes.
It's true though. Im atheist. The plot is fun, the execution even more so sometimes, but the result is like ??? Fr??? What a waste of-
I think the translation is not giving much hint, plus how a webtoon can't show everything going on, I'm reading the novel and I realize there's things being left out compared to it (and some additional things too).
Is not that Ariadne is regretting revenge or that revenge is bad, this revenge feels wrong for her precisely due to how anticlimactic is, Lucrecia kept her lips tight regarding Ippolito's father, and Ariadne feels is unfair that a shit like Ippolito is the receipt of unconditional maternal love when Ariadne herself is alone, her own mother has passed away and Arabelle died alone on a bed.
And yes, is frustrating.
like seeing it just gives me extra psychic damage while reading ever since i personally saw a pretty huge dilated pore of winer (don't google) get popped & the crater in the skin it leaves once all the sebum is squeezed out looks like that hwuuughhhewughrrhhh
i am positively salivating
bless the translators for continuing this series and the mini spoilers
well, i do love slowburns with a shitton of misunderstanding and mutual pining so... come at me bro
he really be going dokidoki with these small scraps of affection wrapped in the shittiest treatment ever. that's so real lmao
there better be a lengthy groveling arc for jaekyung like BJ alex bc pre-regret alex is an angel compared to this diva
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!! and even if jiwon wasn't half as bad as jaekyung, in my opinion he didn't suffer nearly as much as he deserved so i'm waiting for the real bad stuff to happen to jae lmao
the king, not being a dumbass, acknowledges Roman's absolute MC plot armor and becomes a steadfast ally against the aristocratic faction and valhalla to preserve his own position as king
or
that, but also he gets power paranoid crazy and once Roman's done consolidating the power's of Kairo, he becomes insecure and tries to betray Roman-which Roman expects with his dealings with succession- and he teams up with previous enemy country with the redheaded prince to crush the king, and it'll be made to look like a justified retribution to the citizens of kairo.
i'm overthinking so hard i need spoilers
(SPOILER)
i’ve read the novel and i’m pretty sure the king and dmitri will continue to be partners. i kinda forgot but after this, roman will continue to conquer the world.
I have this habit of thinking, "What if You Get Transmigrated Into This Trash Character That All Readers Are Dunking on In The Comments?"
like, what actions would you take while knowing all (or maybe just some/none) of the spoilers and you wake up as Rashta or Sovieshu in the most recent chapter?
It's like a maladaptive daydream habit of mine to think of the alternate plot lmao
You still need to live with the consequences… yes you’re gonna feel horrible… but at least you know you did not make those decisions and actions…and you are (hopefully) going to do things much differently and better..
nah, ain't nobody got time to wallow like that.
my game plan if rashta transmigration is gather assets and magic assistance then fuck outta there. sovieshu transmigration is a public apology to the other empire, have rashta assassinated and pin it on the aristocrats i need to purge from the government, then implement previous plans from navier while adding others, & strengthening border defenses while investing in wizards.
fall first. i can't wait for chapter 55 to finally be translated, we're so frickin closeee
we have to go through Heejae's POV first... （/TДT)/
