I think Humpty was the saddest character because he was nearly gone by the end. He really was like Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall above humans, but not a vampire. It looked like a perfect pearl-white position but it was a steep fall and it broke him. The end was probably the most real he ever felt because he could just break and be let free if it all.
I knew immediately when he turned out evil that it wasn’t because he really wanted to be. “I wanted to show everyone the hell I’d been living in.” He could only manifest through total chaos and destruction.
I kept it together this whole story but Humpty’s pain really brought a tear to my eye because I couldn’t hate him even after all that he had done. I knew exactly what he was feeling from beginning to end. I know how it feels. And to anyone who ever feels the way Humpty does, know that times shall pass.
Spoiler for those who haven’t finished:
I like to think about his character as a reverse Humpty Dumpty. He was this ‘perfect’ creature created from broken part by the kings and horsemen (in this case the vampires) who tried to ‘fix’ him. After having to deal with being controlled and sculpted by the kings he came up with the diabolical plan to make them all suffer he climbed the wall above them and tried to watch them as the chaos ensued. He finally felt superior. That view point falls apart in the end sadly after seeing his fate. I guess he did die while he was at the peak of the wall but in the end regretted it. It’s almost like Humpty Dumpty wanted to jump off the wall himself at the end after realizing his wrong doings. Maybe, Humpty Dumpty’s fall wasn’t an accident in the nursery rhyme.
Dude this took my breath away (⊙…⊙ ) and I think its really beautiful the way you explained Humpty's pain
I am sooooo in love with this.
Like, it is cruel to think but he is literally getting a taste of his own medicine. No matter how bad your past or childhood is, karma doesn't discriminate when you're a jerk to someone. Remember that's it's not just how people treat you, but how you choose to treat people.
I enjoy this most because I know (or at least have the feeling) that they will end up together in the end. However, unlike other yoais the seme doesn't get to just use some bullshit half-apology, they fuck, and it is "okay" back to normal.
Like nope nope, Gong-gyun (butchering his name) Isn't for that because Alex isn't for his real feelings. I am in no way an Alex-hater, either. He's had it rough, but he has to earn his way back into GG's heart, he needs to reflect and figure out how to be an actual person. He'll be so much better as he develops! GG also needs to learn to demand respect he deserves.
The chapters are short, but honestly worth the wait and I have not been disappointed ^.^ I love Chanwoo and MD *swoon* but I can enjoy the main peril at the moment.
TRUUEEE ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I read it before all the updates back when the main guy had memories of the shitty guy from his college past and how he outted and has his current job. Realizing both the ex and the baker are crazy— like I honestly can’t handle this psyche shit. The baker slowly starts to scare me more and more. Half of me wants to read, half want to cry in advance.
Liiteray no one.
I can somehow accept that.
If I think too hard about it, it’ll consume me tbh. I agree that some parts could have had better background development, but i think the story was worth reading. Even the fucked up ending.
Not even the main couple? I mean their ending is kinda... happy?
But i agree for the three other non of them got a happy ending and somehow it makes their story more stricking
That is the thing, for the main couple, are they really "happy"? Seeing their chemistry, I mean I would think yes... but at the same time they're kind of locked in this codependent relationship for years to come. And the pink haired guy doesn't have infinite lives to give. I think this alludes that eventually, it will end as well.
I see what you mean, it is a kinda tricky question XD
But to me they have a “happy ending” as the story end and what happen after... well who knows?
Because Death is part of life, especially theirs, so If they enjoyed their time together even If the Uke died definitely it will still be worth it to me... And they’ll have a looong time till then... ╮(￣▽￣)╭
As for the codependency relationship... well everything is a question of balance and point of view so it’s difficult to say if they will end up feeling “trap” in it eventually...
Ok to much philosophical sense stuff for today XD i’ll Stop here or I never will
Like, I remember the first time I saw it years ago, and it was so powerful, and it still is. I used to feel a lot like Komugi, like my life was worthless, I was only good at things I was nationally ranked for. Until I met people that made life worth living for. I'm grateful.
I know a lot of people don't like Hunter x Hunter. But the whole manga/anime whichever you prefer--the whole of it is not for you. The whole work isn't for me either, but parts of it are. As there are few works that can satisfy one person 100%. Sometimes it's the parts that touch you that you should appreciate the most.
ugh.. you mean briefs? lmao, you gotta clarify, author, or I'm gonna be imagining a tight little speedo XD (though it's probably some rich designer briefs)
Fei long, underwear: unknown
MORE LIKE NONEXISTENT SWANKY ASS FEI LONG (xD i love that man in actuality) I truly cannot imagine him wearing underwear.
This story really reminds me of Never Understand where the main character is just a regular guy, and everyone else has fucking problems. I personally could not stand how that story turned out, and the comments here remind me of how so many people blamed the main regular guy in N.U. for everyone else being fucked up, and are only happy when there's sex.
Like, from the beginning I was really happy when Siwon was happy, but he also --- ugh, like you guys are really overestimating him. He was always ditsy and confused, for fucks' sake his best friend had a crush on him that we all saw and he couldn't see. He didn't realize he even knew Jinha until like forever into the story. Siwon is PRESENTED exactly as he fucking should be. His character is dense, and emotional, and gets scared easy. He is literally kidnapped right now by a guy playing games, and the only person he loves can't tell him that they're also playing games.
You're all upset with Siwon for not being a strong, manly man. He never fucking was, and the author did not try to present him as such. The same goes for Seonyun. He was never presented as not being a snake, yet no one is nearly as mad at him. Siwon's character was so weak to Seonyun because he didn't know he was a fucking snake to begin with. It's not in his nature to hate Seonyun like we want him to. He even feels bad for him sometimes. (Even if we don't).
The comments saying "Siwon should just leave and let Seonyun win" annoy me the most. First of all, he is kidnapped. Secondly, you are willing to accept that a character like Seonyun is sincerely evil versus Siwon who is sincerely good because he isn't doing what you want him to do. HAaha, you guys are a fucking joke. All of these people complaining will sure as hell get hyped as fuck if an update occurs right after you post your jump-ship comment.
"I hate this story-"
"Oh, an update I guess I'll read it so I can get some more hate material."
Laughable. Keep honking, like geese do.
In a way I agree with you that Siwon has always been written that way. However, the mark of a good story is having good character development, which this story lacks the most. It does not help that the plot goes around in a circle.
So, just because Siwon was a terrible character from the beginning that justifies him being a terrible character still? Or even more of a terrible character, to be honest?
I mean, c'mon, the whole kidnapping was completely his own fault because the author isn't writing characters. They're writing puppets for some tacky, blue-balling softcore porn.
What kind of person -- no matter how "ditzy" and "confused" and "dense" -- follows a guy who:
1) kidnapped their so called best friend
2) tried to rape them several times
3) murder them
4) harassed and bullied their so called boyfriend
5) stalked their so called boyfriend to Korea
out to a bar alone and takes a drink from them? Really, how suicidally stupid does someone have to be to do that? (And yes, Siwon knew Seonyun did all that when he followed him out to a bar.)
So obviously the author doesn't have any respect for their own characters or their own story or their readers, and I really don't see why the readers should then have any respect for them either.
Also, Siwon isn't particularly good. To be good, you'd have to actually do something good. I suppose the only time he actually did something good was when he saved his so called best friend from bullies. Otherwise he just throws hissy fits and cries and waits for other people to clean up his overwrought emotional messes.
P.S. If people want to hate-read this and vent their frustrations/laugh about it with others that's their prerogative.
About the moment in the crumbling house, that is
“Whenever I wanted you, that was when I was truly myself.”
*swoon*
