Yeh I think that would have been an easy way to end the game, but I think for him to achive that ending he had to interact with yona, and yona would fall in love with him I each playthroughs even tho he acted as a villain, so she would refused to leave the world of games because of her love for the emperor, and in each timeline when emporer advanced towards yona, doha would start a rebellion, because of his feelings for ranhee. So his methods of ending the game was somewhat correct, and the game ended when the emperor died and not when she would have become the empress.
Omg I read this a while ago but if I remember correctly it was specified that the rebellion truly started because of the emperor himself, he kept tempting him, he just had to start over more than 100 times because he didn't get the timing right. All that because he wanted the dude to take his place as emperor and to marry Yona as he thought that he wasn't good enough. But there are a million ways of preventing the rebellion, like, just send the dude on a mission far away or lock him up. And as I said, he could have done the same to Yona, locked her up far away from danger and just married her one day. She wouldn't have loved him, and he would achieve what he truly wanted, freeing her from the game. His method wasn't incorrect it was just overly complicated and he could have ended it much sooner if the story was logical I guess lol
This was perfect. The best isekai manhwa, really. The art style is sooooo good too. It's really such an amazingly written story.
But there is ONE MAJOR PART of the story that is written in such a stupid way.
Sunshine learned that Yona and the others could only escape if their completed their quests BEFORE the eclipse, with the major quest being Yona marrying the emperor. However, the Emperor first thought when he learned that was "I can't let her marry me because I don't deserve her, but there's this bastard cousin who could marry her in my stead". So then he decided to do the most RIDICULOUSLY complicated things and fail, like 50 dofferent times, because he couldn't get the timing of the rebellion right, because people kept dying left and right etc...
So the question is, WHY DIDN’T HE JUST MARRY YONA HIMSELF if all he wanted was to end her suffering? After 10 attempts of trying to get the timing and stuff right, he couldn't just give up and decide to find a way to marry her himself? Wouldn't it be much easier? Like, put aside everything, just end her suffering, and even if he didn't want her to long for him after she quit the game, all he had to do was keeping her secluded in some faraway palace and one beautiful day call her back and marry her.
It's just that simple yet he didn't even think of this once.
Another thing is why is Dooyak the Empress at the end? It was said in the documentary that Yona was unable to have children. In that case, when the universe was restored, Dooyak already wasn't the Emrpess and was imprisoned (because the whole talisman story had already happened). That would mean that the Emperor after reuniting woth Yona decided to appoint Dooyak (who was imprisoned) as his empress and let her live her love with the musician? That doesn't make any sense. Or maybe I didn't get the story right and Yona and Sunshine were always, well, Yona and Sunshine and the empress was never sent to prison? Then couldn't Sunshine just make Yona his empress and let Dooyak free to live her life with the man she loved?
But aside from that, great story!!
