im this woke thank you
Exactly! What he needs isn’t a rival who see him as competent! He needs an ally who is his equal!
This exactly. But I suppose if he can win against ml when he already exert himself as a powerful opponent, he will command his people more effectively and earn their respect
This exactly. But I suppose if he can win against ml when he already exert himself as a powerful opponent, he will command his people more effectively and earn their respect, or that seem to be the direction its going for
Thank you! This is sooo validating, ml makes me so mad. I hope mc won't make it easy for ml to be with him
Omg yes, why is he making it purposefully harder for him just to proof a point instead of supporting him like someone who actually loves him
Exactly! The way I see it is that ML admires MC a lot, but honestly love is a step forward than admiration.
And just to make myself clear, I do think ML is a great character and the fact that he let's MC be his own person (the bare minimum) and admires him so much is visible throughout the manhwa. It really is a step up in the BL economy. I just consider this decision he took as a mistake that can definitely be fixed with some good old communication.
But if ML directly aided MC in becoming chairman (by working for him), the other characters would give credit to ML because he’s an alpha rather than the MC who actually worked for it. This would eventually and inevitably impact their personal relationship, so the ML is being proactive and laying the foundations to show everyone what he already knows; there is only one person meant to succeed the chairman position and it’s the MC.
Is it the best course of action? No, but given his background, his choices make sense. He said it himself, in a game of brains, MC would beat him every time
I see your point and I thought about it too. However, I don't think the people that are against MC are honestly doubting his strength and skills as a CEO, quite the opposite. They're using sexism (I don't know if we can use this word in this context) as a way to excuse their plans of bringing him down to establish their own power. They know that he's a menace and got them by their balls, so they're actually scared of him if anything. It's all business politics, there's no real ideology behind it imo.
And that's also why they're forcing him to get pregnant. They don't necessarily think that's the only thing he's capable of, they think that: firstly, it would actually be hard for him to go through with it, secondly they think it would get in the way of his career, and lastly they want to insert themselves in the equation to overcome him and the other stakeholders.
If ML and MC were to make a coalition, they would have the upper hand, financially and status-wise to overturn the geezers.
Yes, as I just said in the comment above, I see this perspective. However, this could be easily overcome by making a secret alliance and finding a way to make MC get on top through a power play. Taking the long way down, at least in real life, I think would create more resentment between the two of them. And if he's working in secret to make sure MC wins, it defeats the whole mentality of "letting him do his own thing cuz he's so much more capable than anybody else". They could be business partners and lovers and instead they're rivals and stuck in a situationship
I agree that it would build resentment, but I feel it’d be short-term this way rather than long term resentment. It’s temporary struggle for long term gain, in my perspective (not that it’s accurate). && Yeah, the situationship suuuuuuucks
ML should be honest about what he’s doing and why, so at least they are on the same page about long term goals.
Thanks for the chat! I enjoyed reading your perspective :)
Don't worry, I know that my perspective won't be universally accepted either and isn't necessarily accurate . And I think that the manhwa is doing a good job at keeping the possibilities open, so who knows: it might go my way, or your way or in an entirely different direction. And if the author plays their card well, it could actually be developed well in either plotlines.
I also appreciate the chat. I'm opinionated, but I don't mind sharing views with civil and intelligent people.
And I'm glad that we agreed on the communication, cuz it's always that, innit
Yeah you're right actually. Now that I think about it , ML keep pressuring MC to marry him all the while opposing him in terms of business. Now why can't he just cooperate with MC if he so desire to form an union anyway. Now I'm here like what because of his stupid ahh
Yeah, I agree with you! I like the ML a lot. I just think that this manhwa is just trying to girlboss a bit too close to the sun without actually realising where the oppression the MC is trying to overcome shouldn’t be added on to by those he loves. And it seems the MC kind of understands that (why he asked the ML to back down), while the ML hasn’t gotten it yet.
I don't understand. Maybe I am too weak-minded. But if you love him so much, you would also want for him to do well in life. He's not weak, but the people around him think so or use the fact that he's an omega to bring him down for business tactics. So you stepping down is not a measure of his strength, or capabilities, but a coalition for him to be free and with your help to conquer his space in this world. Why would you let him struggle if you can help? How is help a weakening factor in any way?
I know it doesn't correlate to this story and that this is a manhwa not real life, but it kind of reminds me of the men who think that fighting for women's equality doesn't concern them "you wanted equality so now (while I ignore the all the hardships that are on your path to even reach my same level of social-economical status) work on your own to be freed of the stigmas men place on you daily".
I know it's not exactly the same logic, but c'mon bro, being in love doesn't mean seeing them as heroes, but wanting to be there for them, just like they are for you. He literally saved your mf life.
