THis author really makes the best stories. This was depressing
Can someone please pick this up? I really wanna know what happens next
Well, I hated Eclis last chapter and now I'm just so depressed for him. It's awful how manipulated he is.
A yandere getting is just deserts for once. It's so satisfying.
I relate to this backstory. Having talented siblings can be really hard. But no one, really no one is perfect, and I do believe that everyone has their own skills and strenghts. And then, even if you're less good than someone at everything, that doesn't make you trash. It just makes you a normal human being, who struggle and cry and fight. But man, comparison is bad for mental health
This serie is so cute, but also it really makes want to move to the Lappland and live there (except there's really not enough light in winter, but look at all this snow, the dream!)
Am I the only who was really sad when he said that his body doesn't have physical reactions anymore? My only hope now is that the control he has on it lets him FULLY control it
I really hope so too. And i am very hopeful since after he gains time and time again, he will be able to solidify for 7/24. After that i believe gems will make him a more realistic solidifying experience. Like +10 physical reaction etc. But it is just my hopeful thinking though
I loved this story, except Bianca's family made absolutely no sense. They're supposed to love her so much, but still sold her for a marriage of convenience, and supposedly it's too painful to send her letters so they just never do, leaving her to believe they don't care? Like what kind of extremely selfish ass*oles do that? If they really loved her, they should at least have sent letters! I thought it made no sense. But whatever, I just kind of ignored that part of the story
Yeah that didn't make any sense to me either. She was literally a CHILD and they sent her off and never contacted her again. Like what. Was she supposed to be mature and understand it was a difficult/painful decision for them when she's literally like 9 years old???
FWIW, this story follows closely European medieval history when it comes to its customs and societal structure. Much more closely than most other romance manhwa I might add, that just take historical accuracy very loosely. In medieval Europe, general marriage age was 12 - 13, arranged marriages since birth were very common, and getting pregnant as soon as you got your first period was, again, very common. Bianca marrying off when she was 9 - 10 would have been an everyday thing, regardless of the age difference. Her husband would have waited until she got her first period and then sleep with her, if he wasn't dead by then, because again, life expectancy was around 30, especially if you were a soldier. And about the letters, division of duties in households was a very strict thing, women handled the house and relatives, men handled the business, politics and war. Educating women and keeping up with relatives was exclusive duty of the matron of the household or oldest female relative. Men would not be writing letters to relatives, and would not be involved in educating daughters at all. All of it would fall on their wives, sisters, etc. If, like Bianca, there was no female relative to take that role, the nanny would take the role of education (as in here), since the only thing considered important for a woman to know was how to be a good homemaker. Most women in medieval Europe could not read, didn't know math beyond basic adding and substraction that they would need for running the household, and were only given the rudiments of sexual education the day before their wedding (by a woman, if no woman is around, by no-one, and of course, a heavily church-censored version). Every single family unit in this manhwa seems to be a happy one, except for maybe the ML's, but that was most definitely not the case in reality, and even if we were to obviate the "too painful" excuse, a man writing letters to his married daughter was just very rarely done because 1, again, most women couldn't read and would go to their priests or husbands to have those letters read to them, and 2, she would've been considered a full-fledged adult now and belonging to her husband, not his daughter or responsibility anymore. He would write maybe if he was visiting or was sending something for her, but even those letters would be addressed to her husband first, not her. I actually find the fact that the author respected those little details very refreshing, because as a rule, Asian literature has a very bizarre view of European historical customs, even tho the genre is very prominent specially in manhwa. They usually mash up characteristics of European fashion and architecture with Asian traditions (like why does every single king in a Europe-theme manhwa has more than 1 wife? These people never heard of Christianity? Its been around for a while) plus they often add modern concepts in very weird ways too, so its refreshing to see an author doing their research.
Thank you so much for this explanation, I loved reading it! I still think that the way they present Bianca's family as loving her that much and still not even reaching out (they could have visited) as being a bit exaggerated, because I feel like loving her that much and at the same time not caring about her well-being is super illogical, even with the social norms. But I do agree with the fact that it was super nice that the social norms did respect European medieval history, I also get ticked off by some weird things in manhuas. You made me laugh so much with your comment on Christianity though!
What about the girl Perez was supposed to fall in love with in the original timeline? Is she going to come back at some point?
WAIT, PEREZ HAD SOMEONE IN THE 1ST TIMELINE? Who, where, when, and was it a genuine love or an arranged marriage?
if i remember correctly she was just an arranged fiancée or the marriage was gonna be beneficial to both of them can't remember for sure tho cuz its been ages since i read that chapter
So he approached Akiho even though she had a boyfriend and then rejected her when she chose him? wtf? Did he just want her to keep cheating on her boyfriend with him?
