Even at the brink of death, Keith STILL didn’t realize that he loves yeon woo nor cared to admit it.
I mean at least he knows now that he’s desperate and really does not want yeon woo dead. It’s affected him so much to the point where he is crying about it. So realize it, and just say how you feel about him already jeezus

Why was that dude in the palace attacked? For what reason?
Also. Is jinwoo’s dad going to be the antagonist? Is he gonna kill his own son?

This is my explanation without spoilers: Obviously those people that murdered the S-Ranker were monarchs. If you recall, when Sung Jin-Woo’s father came out of the cave, there was a conversation between the large dark haired man and an elf looking monarch. They were discussing the Shadow Monarch, and his position, along with the Frost Monarch I do believe, which implies their position. Clearly, the S-Ranker had some sort of influence implanted into him by an unknown but powerful entity that is an enemy to the monarchs. We learned from the Giant King that there are two factions vying for power over earth, and have been infusing magic into it to make it a suitable battlefield for their war- one that will remain habitable after the carnage. It is safe to assume that the “shard” or whatnot of light that the green eyed monarch was referring to was implanted by a very powerful being by the opposing side.

Okay! That gathering scene where they first kinda show the dad and then them talking about the shadow monarch is what leads me to believe that they too are such.
Everything you said is exactly one of the theories what I was suspecting. Thanks for confirming it! I think the opposing side are called the creators. Anyway same as those gigantic sadistic marble statues that move.

I’m pretty sure that while the Monarchs do want to prevail over the Creators, they are not okay with the “stolen” power that Sung Jin-Woo has. He is the shadow monarch now, but the other Monarchs believe he is a fake, and want to kill him so they can return the Shadow Monarch to his former position. However, Sung Jin-Woo is already the rightful Shadow Monarch- which many speculate that when he was forced into those visions, the original Shadow Monarch willingly let Sung Jin-Woo take his place as his heir, and personally, I think that is also why his appearance/powers have begun to assimilate more.

Hmmm. Was the shadow monarch the very first statue he defeated? After all his powers surfaced after that initial dungeon. I wish they showed and explained who the original shadow monarch was clearly so that this current story arc and the giant king’s story makes a lot more sense sense..then again I’m sure these monarchs are bound to confront jinwoo sooner or later and in a battle or not, they will explain why tf jinwoo is being hunted. This along with the entire backstory as to how those people including his dad became a monarch in the first place. Whew that would be a sight to see FOR SURE.
(I also really appreciate you giving me in depth answers. It’s fun having convos like this about manga I like with others)

Hide your face so the world would never find you!
Why is everyone INCLUDING Mildred not counting the possibility at all that the baron is into HER and not the daughters? He has stuck beside HER not them. Is it cuz she’s a widow and widows are pretty much considered undesireable back then?

Yea it’s strange cuz she also refers to herself as “a married woman” not a widow...but it’s kinda odd...I could have sworn she mentions somewhere in the beginning or maybe in the chapters where they were talking about painting...
It would only make sense as to why they are struggling that he is dead cuz they’re not acting as if they’re still waiting for the dude to come back ya know?

SHE’s SO COOL! Also tf happened to the “brother” after Ariel arrived...it’s like he scrammed. I thought either one of them (the brother or the duke...who apparently is also her half brother?) was gonna swoop in at the end and bring her to a changing room like a gentleman but this ending is pretty amazing hahah Love her!

SO much opportunity. Especially with the red haired dude.
But even if it wasn’t...the “advances” that were being made wasn’t enough. Or they don’t make me shake with how passionate they are. Even getting to a point where she’s now taking the initiative to kiss them took a REALLY long time. Like you should have kicked it up a notch after making that polyandry rule. She should have married them right away or have her at least propose to each one of them separately.
It would have been cool to also put an otome game function on top of the god quests. Like being able to know the gist of their feelings or % in affection/ love meter lol and she’d be the only one able to see it.
I think it also would have been nice to have her be intimate with each one and show that she really loves each and everyone of them. Like actually verbally telling them about the fondness she feels for them. She’s pretty sincere and down to earth. She could pour more affection into each one of them and made our stomachs have butterflies. And everyone having an understanding of their feelings towards her and her feelings towards them
Also. Mr butler is losing points quickly/ lowering in the ranks
Is so sad
