kinda confused, so DER is an internet side where there is ONE world where ghost stories (which the user write) happen? So like our mc wrote a ghost story which happens in that one world inside the side? So every ghost story one writes could happen inside that one universe in which the mc now works as the "fictional" company that exists inside the world inside that internet side?
Think of DER as the SCP Foundation, and Kim Soleum is kinda obsessed with it, so he’s read all the wikis about it. Kim Soleum got transmigrated to DER world, where ghost stories is really exist. He works in Baekilmong Pharmaceutical, which is one of the 3 company that manages ghost stories in DER universe.
at this point the reveal of her background will not even be climatic, problematic or stirr a conflict. They're so in love he will forgive everything she says. He wouldn't feel betrayed by her cause he loves her that much and they even already suspect she is the princess. So everything the webtoon build on regarding her identity will be for naught cause unless she will leave him/betray him or something similar he will forgive her like "oh nice, it doesn't matter anyway". ofc she hesitates about telling him cause she has her own conflict but thats also to give the reader anxiety about her coming true about her identity to the emperor even tho we know that the reveal will probably be quite boring and brushed aside soon
What would even be the fallout if she told him?
He also hid her identity from her, so it’s not like he has the moral high ground, and finding out the woman he loves is also objectively the best match for a political marriage is a dream come true.
Her coming clean about her identity is literally all upside.
yeah whoever picked that name had something personal against that character
as a not native english speaker I have strokes everytime reading this, it's beautifully written and may be more accurate on how the people spoke back then but I find this quite difficult to understand while reading. I can grasp and understand most of it and can follow the plot and conversations they have but I actively ignore the words that are more difficult and I don't want to whip up google translate every few seconds for a word that doesn't add value or understanding to the plot and just looks fancy. Tho I like that they make a big effort on translating and it's really cool so see it different from others webtoons. And the art is also quite nice
as a native english speaker, i completely get it. it reads so similarly to english literature of the time (19th century) that i feel like i'm reading jane eyre or pride and prejudice. that is a good reading strategy that you employed. while it's difficult to read at times, i find the unfamiliar vocabulary quite fun and immersive into the time period :). you can tell there's so much effort put in the writing and art, so it's incredible to read. i hope you're doing well, and happy reading ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Trust me even for us native speakers (unless you’re from the uk or a fan of Brit time pieces) it can get confusing! The fact that you’re able to piece it together as a non native speaker is honestly so good!
yes I agree, they make a big effort implementing the time correct speech and writing so it's really fun to read. Thank you, I hope you have a nice day too! :3
thanks :3 Ill try my best haha.
The overall story kinda ticks me off and for me the people aren't really likeable. The emperor had his reasons but he didn't even get a redemption arc, we are just expected to suddenly like him. I also really liked the fl in the beginning but she was set on disappearing and had everything ready only for the emperor to destroy her ship and imprison her just to set her free again. She returned after she learned that the emperor is "evil again", has anger issues and depression. For me this feels like she feels obligated to return to him so that the empire won't suffer. I know blah blah she's in love with him and chose that and was unsure cause of og fl but if ur set on disappearing twice then I don't think u only get back to him cause you love him. We also didn't really get sides from both on how and why they fell exactly so I don't think this feels natural to me. Also burning down villages and ships and so cause you want is a no go. Also he had the candle so he would know if she died, why not confirm and then go there??? Idk abut this I'm not interested enough to keep reading that
Is the art getting worse? I mean this art style is interesting but some panels it looks kinda strange and overdrawn idk how to put it, while the guy had sex with him the mouth of the uke and the overall face looks so strange and offputting
i think artist is rushing too much lol its so uncanny sometimes
ikr the longer u look at it the sranger it gets
soo my guess is
he will sneak inside a dungeon/or has a mission there and one way or another he ends up in the past where he helps child Junmin escape while trying to undo the death of his sister and gets the scar that's shown in the flashback and something happens so that he can't speak well so Junmin only gets a shortened name when our boy tries to say his own name (they sound similar) and one way or another he comes back to the persent after and has the imprint child Junmin gave him.
I had this theory before but after he said that there are cracks that can function as a time machine in the latest chapter proves my theory. I hope it happens soon and not after like 40 chapters or so
Yep! I have the same theory!
I'm sorry, probably an unpopular opinion but I skip all sex scenes and only want the story lmao, like I like me some sexy scenes and so but they fuck like very 2 chapters? even in situations that don't call for intimite feelings, like I get that arousal thing but STAHP PLEASEEEE. I liked it a lot in the first chapters but after they fell into that hole and had sex for like the 4th time down there, I started to get bored sf of the sex scenes, they spiral and are always the same, there's also no story to it really so I don't think I missed a lot skipping these. The whole story is interesting and there really would be no loss if they skip all fucking scenes Q_Q not gonna stick with that tbh xD
It's because they over did it first season.
true but it doesn't get better in the second season like every 4 chapters they do it like for 2 whole chapters, even with the child and animal near them. I don't think they have a sense of reading a room or so Q-Q
I've just read 4 episodes but it feels plain and too fast tbh, our mc got used to the situation too quickly and the duke touches him like every chance they get like doens't that annoy our mc to be touched everytime and everywhere and even sitting on the lap of a man he met like 1 day ago? also he got tricked into that situation and seems like he likes his job which he worked hard to get and they tricked him and he just goes with that??? even if he thinks and the duke will divorce him it's still too strange overall. I don't think the characters are interesting enough to keep going too welp, art is decent enough but not gonna continue
