I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but if you look closely, when you read Toshio's journal entries at the end of each chapter, you can actually see the improvement in his handwriting as time goes by.
Also, It's to my understanding that this is a fan translation and not the official right?, the fact that the TL took the time is amazing.
I was so giddy noticing that, so adorable eheh
Whether some people like it or not, this is a way more realistic depiction of how a severely traumatized person would behave. The trauma didn't just come from her husband's actions. Her father was murdered by her uncle, then she's sent to this far off territory that essentially becomes a social/psychological hellhole for her. This nightmare goes on for 7 years, where she's treated HORRIBLY by everyone around her, with NO ONE on her side, only to eventually die a very slow and painful death. I like how the story is handling the ML's repentance (but ONLY because we know he was brainwashed), BUT it pisses me off seeing people not understand just HOW EMOTIONALLY SCARRING her past life was. Like, YES, she has every fucking right to be this negative and constantly on edge around him and everyone in that place. She's been affected to the point of accepting any chance at passive suicide.
Ikr especially since she knows the future and what's gonna happen it just makes even more depressed and will see no point in continuing to live since she was abused for 7 years
Take a shot every time they say “little sister” in this chapter (chap. 35). I feel like they really went the extra mile with the whole adoring/obsessing over the FL thing in this one.
Low key the way they kept talking about having a little sister reminded me of how weird boy moms talk about how “different” it is to have a son vs. a daughter. Like, it just feels slightly odd how fixated they are on “little sister” this “little sister” that.
As someone with 3 siblings (I’m a younger sister myself, and I also have a younger sister), siblings talking like this in manhwa always feels so abnormal to me. And I actually get along quite well with my siblings too so it's not even about the lack of sibling figths or anything.
Part of it is a translation choice
Family refers to each other in titles more often then by name
I love the trope of a tough character with mild anger management issues who somehow becomes completely docile and/or shy around their soft hearted, sunshine type significant other. And I’m not talking about the classic “they hate everyone except that one person” trope. They’re not necessarily mean or abrasive toward everyone else they just become noticeably more meek, shy, and submissive specifically around their partner. Who, for the record, is by NO means an intimidating presence AT ALL.
My absolute favorite thing about the art in this manga is that at completely random intervals, for some reason, the mangaka just gives the characters the cuntiest lip gloss/lip tint effect
I’m having a FIELD DAY reading all these “shocked” comments about Tae-seo “suddenly” being toxic like… really??? At this point I don’t even know whether to blame it on the media literacy crisis or plain mass delusion. There hasn’t been a single moment where this man wasn’t a scarlet red flag. And you know why no one cared? Because he’s rich. That’s it. We’re in a recession, and financial stability is attractive, I get that. But if he hadn’t been showering Yeomin with gifts and “spoiling” him, the general opinion on him wouldn’t be nearly as positive. From the beginning he’s openly said (god I wish we could add screenshots) that he looks down on Yeomin, calling him “easy lay,” “naive,” “low maintenance,” and more. He literally SA’s him in chapters 23–24 and constantly ignores what Yeomin says or wants. Then there’s the money and housing situation...everything is about control. He wants Yeomin to have no one else to depend on, nowhere else to go, and even dictates how much time he spends outside and with who. If Yeomin were a woman, this would immediately be called out as abusive. And still SOMEHOW some people didn’t even notice the rape in earlier chapters like… ARE Y’ALL READING WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED? WHAT IS HAPPENING???
Exactlyyyyyy. So true, finally someone. People just likes ANYONE as long as they are rich and paying in some ways.
If it happens to them? They run bro. And in some cases there are people who GENUINELY thinks they can just spend their life getting pampered like that by acting obedient and good. They really don't have the survival skills bruh.
FOR REALLLLL , It’s honestly so infuriating.
Financial dependency will never be an attractive feature in a story for me. I’m fine with one character being rich, that’s all good, but if the other has no economic stability of their own, outside the influence or help of their partner, that’s a HUGE no. It creates a dangerous power imbalance. Money equals freedom, whether we like it or not. Take away freedom, and it’s no longer a healthy, balanced relationship. Connection gets replaced with dependency.
LITERALLY OMG, PEOPLE READ THIS WITH THEIR ASS OR SMT
Lol, your username got me rolling.
For real! It was shown since the beginning, he dont listen to MC and even think hes chatty and bored when MC talk about his daily life. He looks down on MC, when MC treat him to a meal and went to fast food ML was like "is this it" . When MC told him about his family he doesnt care caude he is just there to have sex with MC since he is easy lay. I dont know how people missed that lmao. Even the secretary thinks ML is a spoiled rich kid and an asshole.
It's not like I'm surprised, but of course the tiger god (or guardian, I guess) who's been asleep for who knows how long, just shows up, tells her she's the chosen one, and hands her the relic that no one's been able to find for hundreds of years and that most people didn't even believe existed. And all of that happens within like six panels. Literally shows up, drops lore, gives her the sword and skeddadles.
The other monster dude monologuing out loud like a stereotypical villain had me dead. "To lose to nothing more than a tiny little bird?!" lowkey made me cringe. WE GET it she's the underestimated protagonist.
I do like this story, but I feel like things happen to her right after another. That being said, I'm probably just gonna continue reading but girl
We know how this story going to plot, but we still eat this up nom nom
Yeah like the brother is kinda sacrificing himself and it doesn't even count? Classic.
Straight up, I be leaving no crumbs too (sadly)
Lmao you’re so real for this
Cliche but I still eat this up ヾ(☆▽☆)
Actually when you read the novel you cry so much but I am reading the manhwa I didn’t feel it that much
I really despise, not "hate", DESPISE! how much this manga sexualizes minors left and right...
