This manga sure is something. In Chapter 1, we learn the MC was mostly fine with the possibility of an old man sneaking into his room and sexually assaulting him. And in Chapter 4, we learn the love interest was an adult when he met and fell in love with the then child MC. I guess they're a match made in heaven then. And let's not even get started on all the bullshitery going on in the brother's story.
God damn. I was rereading this manga and the vibes really have been downhill since chapter 179. That's almost 5 years and 100 chapters of the author making me sad on purpose. Don't get me wrong, I love the drama and the intrigue, and I think everything is well-written, but what I wouldn't give for a moment of triumph or fluff to alleviate the soul-crushing empathy I feel for these characters and their suffering.
I agree but it’s going to feel so amazing when it resolves. The tension has been building and I’m hype even though the mood is down. I trust in the author to write something satisfying bit I’m also scared T-T
I think I'm happy, but apprehensive. I thought the original work had a great ending. I wish I knew what the author plans to do by continuing the story.
money
Lmao
So, the dragon king cut off the arm of his own soldier and was about to genocide the whole bird kingdom and they just... moved on from there? No discussion, no reckoning for the destruction and possible annihilation wrought by the ML? Just cuddles and kisses? I mean... if you want your story to be confusing and unsatisfying, more power to you. Also, what was the deal with the bird kingdom? They were evil enough to kill unarmed attendants and turn on each other, but that was the first time they'd attacked in a millenia? Why?? Did this story get axed or does the author just have absolutely no skills at writing conflict or ending a story?
I'm glad we got a happy ending for Hari and Moogil, but damn, there was so much more I wanted to see. I wanted to see Hari get introduced to Simon. I wanted to see Hari and Moogil go out and find his grandparents. It seems like Hari has decided to start acting again and I would've loved to see how she made that decision. But here we are at the end, so I suppose I'll have to be happy with what we got. Maybe we'll get lucky and there will be bonus chapters.
Sry I meant to like your comment
As angsty and harrowing as all these new developments are, I do think it's kind of funny/ironic that Penelope didn't forsee this possibility with Eclis before now. Like, the whole reason any of this is happening is because girl got herself trapped in an otome game. Bad ends with an obsessed yandere are a pretty common feature in otome games. Penelope's gotta get good.
In all seriousness, I understand why someone realistically would forget about game mechanics when they're constantly afraid for their life, but still. Kinda funny that all this drama is still par for the course in a dating sim.
I mean there's no way she would know because she never actually finish the game since she keep getting executed. And she never knew that Yvonne is such manipulative bitch.
I disagree. Like the other person said. She never finished the game. She died every single time before the coming of age event. Eclis never became a yandere (wasn't twisted)in the game both in Yvonne playthrough while in og Penelope playthrough she couldn't have known.
Imagine getting isekaid in idk Code realize or Tokimeki girl side games. There are no yandere in this game (some say Saint Germain is a yandere. They're delusional. The guy kidnapped Cardia/mc because he was ordered not because he loved her). If you get isekaid in this very fluff, optimistic, raindow colored games you wouldn't expect the character to be twisted. Same way if you get isekai in an otome you haven't like Tengoku struggle (a new otoge coming this year), you have no clue how the characters will be.
I don't think initially in the game if you play as Yvonne (the super easy route) that there were many bad ends at all? It seemed that she was loved through and through by all the male leads too.
Yes I'd agree with the survival instinct really killing away all rational thought about game mechanics lol. Now it ain't as simple as 100% = clear
I shave to add too that Penelope never played otome games before this one. This is her first otome game that was recommended to her by a friend bc it was popular. And like said before in the OG game there was no yandere LIs. Thus she prob doesn't know this unpopular/popular trope in the genre
Ooo thanks for more context!
Yeah. In the og game. Yvonne's story is very smooth sailing with everyone spoiling and just naturally liking loving her. The only villain in the story was Penelope. We can assume Yvonne only obstacles are her remembering her past and birthright and surviving Penelope's bullying.
She did finish the game as Yvonne to unlock hard mode which was Penelope though? Just that she didn't experience it fully from Penelope's perspective.
And she mentioned how it was easy to win over the love interests as Yvonne, but no mention (thus far) of how the objective was completed
No. I don't remember where in the novel, but no. Penelope's playthrough was an expensive and money grabbing DLC. It shows once in the webtoon too. If Penelope dies in a bad end she has to PAY real money to restart. The Penelope's story is hard because 1) too many unreasonable bad ends 2) the Penelope micro transaction of og Penelope's playthrough discourage people to play it ergo there ARE no guide online = Reason why Siyeon (sorry if wrote wrong) keeps failing and never went past the coming of age event. He can assume the dlc was added later recently.
I liked the relationship between Iana and Isaac, but also it felt kinda rushed and out of nowhere. Iana already has, what, four(?) potential suitors and you're telling me that some guy who she hasn't even known for that long and who she was only using to further her own goal in the first place is the one she loves the most? That she would give up on 9 volumes of efforts to stop her sister from becoming the Saint just for this guy? Sorry, author, I did really like the dynamic between them, but you're going to have to put a little more time and effort into their relationship to get to me to believe that's something the main character would do on her own without the plot forcing her to do it.
Has it been known that the characters were in their late teens this whole time? Did I just forget because I originally read this through the fan translations a while ago? Does anyone have a chapter/page reference for when their ages were mentioned before the bonus chapters?? Because I had to do a double-take when I read that Shiki was only 17.
Damn, I forgot how much I liked this. Jericho very believable as a teenage girl. She doesn't act like she's secretly an adult and she isn't too immature either. She's really a great female lead and I can't wait to see where this story goes now that's it's back to updating.
I know it's not gonna happen because it's not that kind of webtoon, but just once, I'd like to see an MC escape their toxic love interest for good, whether that's leaving them or by fighting back and winning. Or maybe not even escape, but at least give the toxic person as good as they get. Poor Tay only got one good sucker punch in before he went back to getting steamrolled.
you'll love the next season that will come
