I mean if I was them I would be mad to. I really don’t understand why light skin Asian/ white people are ALWAYS the center of media. Like they are literally in the Middle East country and yet somehow we still have a blonde blue eyed ML and a light skin East Asian FL. It is so tiring to see authors and artist continue to center characters that match a blank sheet of paper.
They'll just pick and choose what they want from other cultures and frankly, it's getting disrespectful. You don't get to do that. You don't get to curve out the undesirable parts of a story YOU CHOSE to make.
The plot is about a white looking middle Easter prince who has fought to stay in his position. His mother looked exactly like him, and his dad looked like his brother, and while he is mixed and rightfully the heir to the chair, people doesn't see him as the right fit to be the next sultan because he is white looking, and they have tried to murder him because of that, hence why he hired the FL.
People, the whole plot is about that!! Why are you both so triggered about that?
Ik what the plot is. It’s the fact that they chose a white looking middle eastern to be the ML. In a middle eastern country. There is no representation AT ALL for any one of darker complexion in shoju and webtoon especially as leads. So when a story takes place in the ME why are authors and artist once again centering a white looking person and cherry picking cultural things to incorporate that frankly just makes the ME look like it’s on,y a war zone. Its white washing plain and simple
No fr like its so annoying. Every time a middle eastern or Egyptian based story is created the characters all have pale skin or just straight up look white. I have NO IDEA why these artist refuse to write brown and black characters into their stories. It’s also annoying to see him being discriminated against because hes half white when in reality ppl with darker skin in the middle east are treated worse than ppl with fairer skin and more eurocentric features.
Lark’s dress was actually underwhelming compared to the Madames dress. Maybe because it’s a design not used during that time that it’s spectacular but it was honestly really a let down
I really hope his dad gets payback as well. I feel like this story wouldn’t feel right if the father just gets away with all this maltreatment while treating another child WONDERFULLY and always bashing and gaslighting Ilyan
seiously this is shit i literally feel what ian is feeling rn...poor baby ╥﹏╥
Is it just me or did his episode feel very rpg level up game. Like the female character coming and causing an "event" , the explanation of spirits, and the npc like seller who gives the mc’s a mission. Especially since he gave it to complete strangers
Stupidest idea ever. Ik everyone keeps saying that the reason why she never reacts to these situations is bc she doesn’t feel like this is really her life and she’s just watching from the outside, but I really think it’s jus a shitty excuse on the authors end. Really Dan-I just falls into the group of female leads that are subservient and submissive. Her biggest character trait is that she’s "kind" and puts other people first. And u can say that the 5 kings don’t want her to do that, but they liked it at the beginning kf the story when she was a pushover (they just don’t like it when she lets other people walk over her which is fair). And Ik we had that arc that Dan should put herself first even when it comes to being friends w/ black haired girl; but we see time and time again her being and overall biting ML who can’t make an actual good decision for the life of her, let’s people walk over her and the only real thing interesting about her is that she traveled dimensions. She was more interesting in middle school where she would actually converse with people LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN, nut now she just acts like there all characters
I refuse to read this until there are like 5 more chapters now
I said this before and it looks like I STILL need to say it. This discourse wasn’t happening in the comments when the cross dresser (terrible w/ names) made him get dressed as a woman (multiple times I might add) and I believe they even went out with him dressed as a woman. It’s so one sided. He just wanted to see his boyfriend dressed up as a man and a relationship is about satisfying BOTH parties. He was shamed and embarrassed to death when he had to wear women’s clothes but everyone was like "uwu so cute
Seriously
Excellent POW, i hope others open their minds as they read your comment. We get caught up in our hypocrisy sometimes.
Ps. I'm still haven't forgotten that car scene, so I'll wait till the characters work their way into the story Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
So fucking true (づ￣ ³￣)づ
The only difference is that the uke can’t see the seme as man even when he cross dresses. The uke only acknowledges how handsome and beautiful the seme is when he’s dress “normal” or dress more masculine. There’s obv a difference in both situations. Yes it’s wrong to force someone to dress a certain way but the uke was embarrassed to wear girl clothing while the seme was feeling insecure while wearing guy clothing. It’s a clear difference between the reaction to wearing clothes that they feel uncomfortable in.
Thank you
Personally I like Rino way more than blue haired boy. Like Rino is the one whose been kidnapped from his family and held in a tank by these people and the moms excuse is "well he has trauma" like who tf cares. He’s a shitty human-whale being and honestly I think Rino is not that bad. He really doesn’t do anything that terrible other than playing inappropriate jokes and being a bit of an asshole. I kinda feel like everyone doesn’t like him because we are used to characters like him being sweet and somewhat kind, but when u think about it has like no real reason to be nice or understanding to these people.(other than like the first couple) so I agree with him. Take ALL these niggas money
But was he really kidnapped by them? Or they just bought a dolphin from a seller? I really don’t like to judge people before it is truly explained. All I see is that Rino started to develop a human conscious and so those two “humans” and said that they kidnapped him. But his kidnapping wasn’t really explained. Then again I might be wrong, but his family does not strike me as let’s kidnap dolphins and put in an aquarium kinda of family more like a I have a shitflode amount of money and will buy dolphins.
I mean at the end of the day I don’t care about the logistics of who the FUCK kidnapped me. Ion see myself liking ANYONE involved, ESPECIALLY when one is a psycho and the other is an enabler
I don't think the mother knows about the kidnapping. And I think he was taken away from his natural habitat, not 100% sure though (I thought that was among other the reason for Rino being so ''wild", a little asimilated with the society but still born in the wild). But when there was a scene in the aquarium the father said smth like "don't tell your mother". So I think mother is unaware of this whole incident. And that guy doesn't even know yet Rino's the dolphin his dad smuggled for him. Personally I can't wait for him to find that out XD I want to see the confrontation.
Okay I will give you that Ik she doesn’t know anything about the "kidnapping " she just kinda pisses me off because she’s like one of those "my son would never do that!" Kind of mom , except she does know he’d do that and still makes excuses for him
Except why would Jiseung thank his dad for bringing Rino to him and the dad tell him not to tell his mom if they didn't kidnap him? And yes the family does strike me as the kind who would kidnap dolphins and put them in an aquarium. That was proven even more with the current chapter.
Nah dude, I think most of them (including me tbh) are mad with Rino bcs how he treats his friends, that's all. I personally don't hate him bcs his personality, I'm cool with it.
I honestly vent believe that like 2-3 separate people had the nerve to tell her that she doesn’t look anything like her dad. LIKE WHAAAAT
How do they not look alike?
They definitely need to go to ophthalmologist to fix their eyes :))
The one who said that Maybelle doesn't resemble her father usually look further than her physical colouring.
Maybelle's face actually resembles Galatea and her mana is more similar to her mother.
Well, do they not understand genetics?
it's not like that they ditch Maybelle's resemblance to Rykell completely, but there are MANY MANY MANY Galatea's simp who dislike Rykell and prefer to look for Maybelle's resemblance to Tea .
Rykell is not everyone's favorite person lmao. just ask Von Kyle, Duke of West, and the one who dislike him the most :
1. Princess Bliss (Rykell denied her request to be Maybelle's godmother)
2. Margot (East Transcendent, Galatea's disciple. she acts like a good aunt to Maybelle but a spitfire against Rykell. she doesn't completely hates Rykell tho)
I cant even read this anymore because I hate the prince too damn much for him to be the love interest. I hate how the relationship basically started bc he was black ailing him into having sex with him to help him solve a SERIAL KILLER CASE. and he’s just so obsessive me na like it
This is logically and not disrespectful. The assholes that down voted this persons simple comment should grow the fuck up with they trifling ass, petty, bullshit.
@moon pies, I kinda had the same thoughts. I take a break for a few chapters at a time as not to get so annoyed. Curiosity is a weakness of mine so I likely won't give it up entirely. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
