I know everyone is talking about the ml but honestly the fl is the one I'm on the fence about. The summary and the way she got angry after finding out the truth made me expect a proper revenge story of her trying to bring down her uncle's family, instead she's just as meek as she was before except she's a little more confident? I didn’t need a complete personality change but it seemed like her anger lasted for 2.5 seconds and then nothing also she's not plotting revenge, trying to expose her family or clear her name. Despite that I still like the story the fl and the ml but I guess this will be a slow story?
To me, the beauty of this story is that it isn’t a regression or a time reversal, nor a transmigration. The events that happen have happened and the past isn’t being rewritten. Her growth may be slow but considering she lost her parents very early and was subjected to emotional abuse that bound her to cling to her uncle and his family, it would be strange for her to do a complete 180; unless she was a completely different person.
Another bonus for me is that she isn’t clinging to the ML. She is forging her own path and attempting to change by herself.
All in all, realistically, it would take time for her to get revenge. Her reputation was maliciously compromised and her opponent is dubbed the “Golden Rose of Genoa”. It is easy to see whom people would be likely to believe. Patience isn’t just a virtue for her, she will need to wholly embody it to deal with her uncle and his family.
I do hope the author for this gets the chance to flesh out the revenge and not have it nipped in the bud due to budget constraints. I hope even more that the source material fulfils what it set up to do and is executed well.
All in all, a great read so far. Just remember, revenge is a dish best served cold. When their guard is down, that’s when MC strikes and it will be crushing and satisfying, I believe.
To me she is slowly improving her standing in society right now. What other thing do you expect her to do? No one would believe her right now if she told anyone what actually happened and she does not have any connections to take revenge. People would just say she has gone crazy and Bella would play the poor Damsel again. The fl is playing the long con and that takes time, she can’t let herself be distracted just by the thought of revenge, she is trying to build a life for herself slowly and steadily pushing back against her oppressors
Yeomin is such a pushover when it comes to Mr. Yoon that I forgot he's only like that with Mr. Yoon and he stands on business with everyone else. That man truly doesn't know how lucky he is
I feel like this was a deliberate choice by the author at this point to make Jaekyung regress in character just to keep the story going because it's popular. I noticed a trend with all my favorite manhwa, once they hit chapter 90ish it usually goes down hill from there as the plot stalls. Like it's chapter 96 why tf aren't they offically together by now? I feel like I wasted my time and I was the biggest supporter of this series from the start.
true
Authors sign for a numbers of chapters for each season, they rarely can elongate it. Also the artist has said in the first season that they had already planned out the whole story (which, with the heavy rhythm they must follow each week (à good 60 hours for 60 panels), is really needed).
I can understand that the regression feels annoying, but it’s actually pretty realistic. People don’t change that easily, and J has always had a weak ego. And scenario wise, it’s probably is just the great fall before the rising of the finale. If the characters are in the worst place of the story, them getting out of it will feel more intense, which is needed for the ending to feel satisfying.
But yeah, the story has always been planned for two seasons, we’re reaching the end of it now
The writer realizes this is extremely popular and they're now milking this for all its worth, even to the point of ruining the story. It's the only thing I can think of as to why this is going absolutely nowhere even though it should be. I can't seem to drop if because I'm hopeful that one day the story will get back on track, it was so good it'll always have a special place in my heart
I'm genuinely curious how paying readers are receiving this pacing. Like, does the author even acknowledge pacing issues? Are they in an echo chamber of y/n enjoyers who are sucking off author? Are they ignoring criticism because they cant be bothered or chs have already been made?
I'm sitting patiently through the plot so I can see the bottom getting pounded (▰˘◡˘▰)
I'm just patiently waiting for sir mugo to get his smut scene. That's all I want
Nah fr why did they lead us on? I thought we were getting it last chapter . We may never get it now
I've been waiting 40 chapters for Sir Mugo and the time is near, I can't wait for the next chapter
Listen I like the art and the sex scenes. I don't even care that the MC is basically a sex toy at the moment. However by making Mi-eum content to stay chained to a bed, his character honestly feels useless like the story would progress without him. Jian contacting Mi-eum for the name tag was not necessary and it feels like the creator did that to give the illusion that Mi-eum is still important or something. Mi-eum needs to leave or at the very least try too because Jitae will never treat him as an equal so that he can be interesting
I'm going to have to go back and reread this after I separate it from the novel because at this point it's like 2 different stories.
1) the apostle Teil doesn't show up at all in the novel, and is made up for the webtoon but alteast he's cute
2) Biggest change gots to be lee min sung, and I'm really disappointed. Because the apostle isn't in the novel lee min sung is actually controlled by Arsha (heir to the insect monarch, that girl in the host club talking to Min Sung in the beginning was actually important in the novel) but because of his ego Arsha can't fully control him either. He ends up becoming the new heir to the insect monarch and becomes a shadow soilder named Kwei who can talk. He's loyal to Sunho and he beefs with Beru daily. Why they changed this idk
3) Everytime Sunho takes control of a monarch heir he's transported to the former monarchs domain to chat with them. Afterwards they randomly show up and run commentary on his life like they're watching Sunho live stream. It’s pretty funny.
There's a bunch of other stuff they changed as well and honestly I would have loved this webtoon if I never read the novel first. The Webtoon is still really good but just different
The plot has been at a stand still for like 50 chapters give or take so what if the ending is rushed and happens all at once and it ends in like 15 chapters and leaves us unsatisfied. This is a real possibility at this point
