I literally changed my pfp in memory of Joseph but yes I'm open to hear what both Joseph and Erez stans think
Yea I notices around a month ago after rereading the last few chapters. But I didn't saying anything because I didn't know how to put my thoughts into words but I feel exactly how you feel. I really hate they used his character just for romance and only made him revolve around Keira instead of giving an importance that's not only Keira. That's why I have alot of anger towards the author. Joseph should've been a comrade only and nothing more. But the author build him in as if he was the ML in S1 which grab alot of readers but after completing tossed him to the side. If there are moment of Koseph and Keira they're always short-lived. Because you compare to the recent scenes with Erez and you notice that the Joseph scenes aren't as impactful as we first saw them. It so sad seeing it like that now
Wish it was possible like replies because I completely agree with you. I wish we can get atleast one impactful scene with Joseph before he goes but doubt it as he not a favorite to even the novel author.
I feel like the author purposely did this for 2 reasons. One love triangle views and two because he's a knight. Many authors seem to use the same exact setup only for knights but barely for CP, Emperor's, Duke's and Mage's. In general of manhwa it seem like korean authors like to have loyal potentials by the FL side but with a rich ML as endgame
i'm going through so much second male lead syndrome rn omg. I don't hate erez, I think he's awesome and all, but omg I was hoping Joseph would end up with Keira in the first season so much and seeing him getting pushed farther and farther away from the MC for his "protection" and the MC being a block head and not understanding Joseph's feeling for her hurts sooo badddd. so sick of love triangles and for surprise MLs that appear much later in the series than the second, third, etc MLs. Like damn, isekai me into the world so I can pat Joseph on the back lmfaoooooo mans gonna need a hug and I want to give him one
I think I'm going to stop reading until the big fight. And then just read that. It's always heartbreaking when the loyal knight is written like this.
╥﹏╥
I'm an Erez stan but i can see where you're coming from. I somewhat understand your frustration but i don't think that it should be that big of a deal since it's a regular situation where a knight gets feelings for its master, so I don't think of it as a bad thing. It's only sad since he's the 2nd ML. Honestly, I'm not into novels since i like to look into some illustrations while reading and that's why i prefer manhwas. But the thing i wanted to say is that sometimes the novels differ from the manhwas so there's still a possibility for a different ending. Also, I'm an Erez stan because i see sparks and connection between them more than with Joseph. There was a misunderstanding at the beginning and then later on they started out as friends and honestly i like that dynamic more.
Dear Joseph stans, we have lost. I have read half of the novel but didn't reach the last volume but on twt someone brought up the last volume. There are scenes with Erez, in the novel they're not romantic at all but I definitely can see it being made as romantic in the manhwa. And Joseph does not show up in the last volume, this is a big hint telling us our sweet Joseph is not the ML
But what makes me angry is the writing of his character. Seeing the process of the novel and its premise. Why the fuck was Joseph written to be in love with Keira IN BOTH LIFES in the manhwa then later to dwindle his appearance after using him up in S1.
Why make him ONLY as a potential love interest instead of actually giving him a importance to the story. Honestly speaking if they were just gonna do that then they should've just left him as a simple knight who never had feelings for his lady like in the novel. Because making him love her for two damn life's only to throw him out later? That's a waste of a character and sick of this troupe always being used, especially for knights.
Should've just introduced the ML right off the bat so we can have FL x ML moments instead of the tension of the fandom guessing who endgame is. I'm sick of the constant fights and others saying horrible things about both Joseph and Erez due to this silly romance rivalry.
Anyway, I needed to let this out but I'm open to hear what yall and even Erez stans think of this.
So Joseph stans let's not dwell on it further or start fights. Either stop reading where we are at now or continue it without minding the romance tension. I'm still continue it since I do like the story and curious about Cosette and their battle. Though I'm upset with Joseph writing process, there isn't much to do since it is already too late. I hate that I realize this when I'm already deep I to the manhwa.
