So its not a happy ending?
MC is not 'happy' per se, but he somehow comes glorious. Honestly after everything he goes through being happy doesn't come easily for him. He doesn't end up with any ML even though he DOES have someone nice beside him, but their relationship doesnt get developed in the story.
Kinda happy to me, I don't want him to end up with one of those dickheads. With them gone, he can heal slowly.
I am happy this is the route the story is going because MC being able to forgive after all the shit he's been through. While I do believe that Halid has some love for MC, he's also a selfish Egomaniac with a victim complex. Which doesn't allow him to properly empathize or understand Knox, and in Halid's mind he is the biggest victim in this situation.
I actually so happy that redemption is out the window. It may not be the standard happy ending but it has the making of one.
If you're a reader who perceives a happy ending with the MC and ML even with the abuse, then this is not a happy ending you're looking for. If you're a reader who perceives happy ending when the abuse character escaped abuse and didn't go back to the one that abuse them, then this manhwa is a happy ending for you.
Thank you for the spoiler. Now i can drop this for good. I can't handle the pain the MC went through
Tbh after all the shit hes going through im happy hes not ending with that piece of shit thank you for the spoil!
I really liked the ending. He could ended that stupid boy too, but well is still ok.
Honestly since the beging i was thinking why did he support that trash king? But botg ml got what they deserved.
Ok, lowkey, was about to drop this cause i thought it was going to be another abuse/ romanticizing abuse story. Glad its not, the fact that he wont end up with ml is enough for me, cause wsym he helped and didnt get justice??? How long do you think till he clears his name?
Around ch48 assholes finally realize Knox is innocent only after Knox basically spoonfed the truth to them. I meant the manhwa doesn't do justice for what is going on in MC's mind. I only went to the novel cuz some of mc's actions didn't make sense to me, u know becoming all too subservient too fast for being a high and mighty noble, so I checked out the novel, read some MC's inner thoughts then I kinda understood where he was coming from. Anyways, novel was like 160 chapters manhwa wraps up everything in 60 chapters.
If you are looking for regret/redemption plot with mc and ml ending up together it's not for you. Basically mc goes through all the shit alone, handles everything by himself, saves himself, clears his name by himself and ends up alone and broken but on the highest position. Ml does regret a lot but still not really the main focus of the story. No healing arc either. Novel has grape depicted with every details in like every 3 chapters. Manhwa doesn't do justice in depicting what's going on in MC's mind. It feels very rushed tbh, it skips quite a bit.
