Vivian's Manga

SPOILERS. Dropped at ch 41. Might pick it up after its finished tho. Don't get me wrong I like this kind of mistreatment and cancerous material with good angst and lots of REGRET. After uke almost dying, I thought ml's regret arc would begin, but unfortunately it didn't come. So I went out and looked for spoilers, I've read bunch of reviews of korean readers. It seems like novel can be found in korean, costs 500won per chapter. I used MTL to skim through their review, and used my broken Korean to read some screenshots from original novel. Even with my little Korean language knowledge, the novel is written so beautiful and heartbreaking, author really knows how to give the lingering and saddening feeling in their writing.






From what I understood, ml's regret arc is long way ahead. Ml, mc's sister would keep torturing MC while MC would love ML with unrequited love until the very end. IDK how many chapters he would get tormented but its not gonna stop anytime soon. The general will finally take some extreme measures to save MC from his tormentors, ends up getting caught by the ML, but uke beg for general's life, and ML imprisons the general. General and MC somehow manages to run away together but ML and some other assassins ( Im not sure who sends them) would chase after them. I clearly read it from the Korean Novel ml literally says he would cut off MC's limbs and lock him up when he catches him. Ohh also he keeps saying MC is his norigae (plaything). Finally, general uses his body as a shield and lets the uke run away. Only after that, seme's regret begins... Idk, from what I read, his regret doesn't even looked satisfying. He FINALLY kicks out that bitch of a sister. He says he was only keeping her by his side because he wanted to have children that resembles MC. Fucking hell?? Few years later MC's love for seme still remains the same, and he still longs for him. But it turned out ML found someone who looks similar to MC(he is the emperor now), and almost killed MC when he find him without realizing its actually the MC...regardless, they get their happy ending. General didn't die but didn't get any happy ending. In this one, second male lead syndrome seems very strong. Korean readers didn't complain about how asshole of a seme is. They didn't complain about all the abuse and rape. So I'm guessing the regret part was okay... maybe its because author's writing style is so beautiful, so they didn't have any room to complain.
Anyway, GL with your reading, hope you don't throw your phone across the room

Reminder for myself: don't read it. Its just ridiculous. The plot would've been interesting if those palace workers actually had a real job instead of sex. I actually had some hope bcuz Secret Resurgence were actually worth reading even tho the plot has full of rape. Blind Play was thrilling and the art was really good too. This ones such a disappointment art, and plot... too lacking.
