whatever anyone says, for me, the fault lies more on that glasses man than that short-haired girl. yall can say shes a hoe, but i feel like thats been clear from the start lol. that man however, is in a 10-year relationship, and yall can see he was genuinely falling for the temptation. i know him and his fiancee talked abt doing things for the money, but that hiding the note move would've sealed it for me bc why would you??? hopefully, she realizes that her fiance is the kind of man who could cheat on her in a heartbeat (even after they marry) as long as the temptation presents itself again.
i blame both short-haired girl and glasses man, but as there's no such thing as truly equal or fair in this world, i blame glasses man more (and frankly, side eye to those who blame the girly more; that man is an adult and again, in a 10-year relationship. he shouldnt be that easily swayed)
SPEAK ON ITTTT!!! (๑°ㅁ°๑)✧
cover lured me in bc it looks nice but the art is jumpscare still proceeded to read bc story might be good but it's... ugh.
i have'nt read this yet, don really plan to. but why's the art a "jumpscare" looks pretty damn good to me. what've u been reading lmao
Fr, the art was the only thing that made me start reading it. Then I liked the story. Idk why ppl don't like unique styles. Like, I'm bored of the same old ones where everyone is perfect looking （￣へ￣）
Let me guess you read up to chapter 4? maybe even 15? Just keep at it at least to ch 30 or so and you will most likely start enjoying it.
i just finished up to chp 49 so ok, seeing that the story is not over yet, and seeing as the soul switch thingy has been revealed early on, i assume we gonna get back to the mistreatment of camilla and the other soul (i forgot the name). like REALLY get back. bc im sorry, the excuse that the reason why camilla's fam was so hostile to her is bc their souls didnt fit their body doesnt do it for me, esp when u compare them w that red haired boy? he got his own issues too but even he managed to treat her decent, the only thing the soul switch thingy came into be was when she was fighting w that blue haired lady, but even then he went back, bc he came to the realization that leaving them be was NOT THE RIGHT THING to do. i feel like he's the 2nd ml but not 100% sure, which is something I LOVE bc for me, love triangles and 2nd mls only work well when u dont know for sure who's the main and the 2nd ml. so yeah, him treating her well despite the soul switch thingy could be a case the author can present to the readers that he could be the main ml bc he got character, more or less, i guess one thing that came out of his obsession of trying to be seen as kind and good.
and i know the mistreatment of the other soul was due to consequences of her actions too, but one thing that was stuck on my mind was her digging the rosebed out of the blue, but actually it was bc she was looking for her mother's ring. the duke was like, "why didnt u tell me ಥ_ಥ" but i was like, "well bitch, have u thought of the contexts around her that made her unable to tell you? *insert gun emoji*" obv we dont see much of his pov bc hes not the main character, but i as a reader was appalled he left it at that and didnt start questioning himself lmao. not to mention, im sure the other servants knew or could at least notice what was going on, but none of them told him??? and then apparently they have an information network???? so yeah this just tells me he's incompetent in managing his household to a certain degree, or that he just really couldnt care and would rather pour majority of his attention to other things. the soul switch thingy cannot be the only means the author thought of of making him red to green, bc i think he's orange at best rn.
lets also not forget ravi... not paying attention and setting ludville's party to the same day ravi's presenting his thesis!!! tf is that. also does a coincidence truly exist? bc im almost inclined to think the duke did it on purpose. really, out of all the days, he managed to choose THAT one day?
all the sibling deaths also is making me think of ravi. like great for camilla, but are we not gonna see an improvement in connection between ravi, ludville, and the duke? i think he's also ignored still by the head of that red colored house; the only reason why shes noticed by him is bc of their house animal wanting to go to her. i hope this doesnt become one of those manhwas where everything the main girl wants is achieved but the other character who's also supposed to grow with her and have the same wants as her starts leaving the spotlight bc we dont have use for them anymore. like, they were there at the start, they should also be there at the end. idk, storys not over yet anyway.
oh noesss... in the earlier chapters, sherina talked about something like heidelgger (did i spell it right) taking rutger in the battlefield and they both won and she was promised to be the kaiser. dont tell me its going to happen again like rutger come on. i know your a child rn and that u have no knowledge of your past life but just, come on...
finally we get to see the jeongwon's pov in the next chapters.
also, f that sister, i feel like she'll be the root cause of the drama, and f their parents (even though we haven't seen much of them) for allowing that kind of sibling dynamic.
another thing is women in this yaoi are hella pushy, like theres the sister, but also the piano major who planned the beach trip. i was lowkey annoyed ngl bc i dont think the boys actually agreed to go and even if they said yes, u can see some hesitance??? that beach trip was also kindaaa disappointing bc i was expecting some drama from piano major's friend; i thought she was being set up to seduce jeongwon lol.
imma drop this for a while and then come back after this is completed bc we've already passed the first conflict -- them getting together which means what comes next may be serious drama (i hope that sister gets humbled moooree; slap her if they must).
Wait do you mean the design major
been reading this manga for a while now and its bugging me every time i read the chapters bc him being a netkama is the focal point of the story, but does anyone know korean gaming culture here? do they really take it seriously if youre a guy who pretends to be a girl (and what happens if youre a girl who pretends to be a guy)?
like i just really cant understand being that pissed. im talking about yoona mainly. ok, i get the money thing, but her disgust seems to be mainly directed to mc being a netkama, which i just really dont understand bc its the internet bruh, and its a game, its not really that serious in my opinion. even her ex bf, cant he be classified as a netkama?
ig this is also the reason why i was cringing when seme/ml was mad when he found out mc was a man. i refuse to believe skoreans are that dumb or trusting to not entertain the idea that the person behind their avatar might be of the opposite sex. like, its the internet!!!! u always proceed w caution, esp w relationships made on the internet!!!
idk what im trying to say except that i dont understand the hate for the netkama thing and why uke should always have to feel afraid to be harrassed and shamed by other people for it. i thought the point of the internet was that u get to be anyone, even just for fun
i think being a netkama is more than js playing as a girl character. the stigma is more ab doing it w the intent of scamming a male player or other players for money under the guise of being a girl!
Mc was playing the character in order to scam the ml as revenge for what he did to his guild. This isn’t the level of just pretending to be whatever you want anymore, since it involved real money, even if he gave it back in the end. When you do anything with malicious intent, it’s not weird to get hated for it. Besides, it’s not like the mc really liked acting as a nektama, it’s obvious by his reactions and the fact that he backed off once it got too serious, which can also add to his personal shame.
As for yoona, since she likes the ml I’m pretty sure, or is at least trying to use him for clicks and therefore needs a sustained partnership, it’s that someone is trying to get with “her man” and taking their time with each other away, and to make it even worse, this person is actually a guy who pretended to be a girl in order to deliberately trick the ml, which leads to her disgust. If yoona actually liked the ml (which I think is the case, I haven’t reread in a while), and the mc was actually a girl, I think yoona would still hate mc.
i see, thanks for explaining! to be really really honest, i kindaaa still dont get it, why the hate is on the netkama specifically when the male players are the ones spending money, and in doing so u need to keep in mind the possibility of ppl not being who they really are on the internet, yknow? i kinda also see being a netkama as something strategic to do, but i do see where u are coming from!
my reason for saying why i dont understand the hate for the netkama thing is bc it wouldnt be a thing if the players themselves are not spending the money for others, or rather are not incited/excited by a female player. i keep thinking that what if i was put in the position of being tricked by a netkama, i'd rather just let it be bc i did *choose* to shelf out that amount of money in that moment, and if i did, that means there was some relationship built or interaction that was exchanged, though i also think i'm over simplifying this.
for yoona, i agree w what u said, but reading your reply made me realize that yoona and mc are kinda reverse parallel of each other. mc as a netkama aims to gain something by pretending, but so does yoona w her bribes, except its not really money but more on loyalty. like what i said that there is a relationship built w the netkama, its iffy to say but u're essentially paying them for that relationship/companionship?¿ and yoona does the same w her bribes.
i just finished this today and i have a couple of thoughts i just wanna put out haha:
1) love LOVE the main story but it bothers me that all throughout, doyun seemed irresponsible and never cared about learning how to control his pheromones and everything that comes with being an omega. that seemed immature to me, which is why i was glad that during the first knotting, he wasnt pregnant.
and also, i know doyun doesnt really feel the need to learn about being an omega bc he has taehan and he has such good people around him (side eyes at dohwa), but its not like he's going to be around them all the time. good thing its fiction though and omegaverse is not real bc im just thinking like if it exists in reality, that attitude of doyun is for sure gonna get him in trouble that taehan will not be able to save him from.
2) I LOVE TAEHAN'S OMEGA FATHER. there, i said it. the gap between his "frank" and nonchalant attitude and him being so caring is sooo . like calling dohyun "cutie"???? he got my heart too when he first appeared haha. it def helps that he's drawn so handsomely.
3) their wedding is so luxurious???? was it paid for by their families? 'cause i know dohyun and taehan's salaries wouldnt have been able to cover it. i know its like fiction but i was lowkey getting stressed wondering where they were getting the money haha. also i thought the new home/apartment was already part of taehan's wedding gifts but i guess not lol.
4) tf was that side story? i mean i kinda already saw it coming just from the main story but the author really drew/wrote dohwa sa his brother AND THEN made dojun just react like that??? i know he has been under dohwa's fingers this whole time but i feel like he would've snapped and be utterly disgusted at what dohwa did. what he did with living together w the doctor made it seem like he was just running away. what would dojun have done if his boyfriend didnt bring up cohabitation? continue staying home with that trash? i wanted to see dojun fully stand up to dohwa and break free from his control and allat shit. like i know theyre not together now, but psychologically, it feels like dojun is still under dohwa's control. goddd i also wanted to see dohwa break down and suffer bc dojun just absolutely hates him now.
5) i wanna say that from the blank bubble, dojun is adopted, but i guess i'm trying to make it make sense according to what the characters said. dohwa said his parents had him bc they wanted an omega, which to me means he was like conceived by the mother bc there was intention, like how some parents want a boy but end up having a girl etc. also it seems like dohwa is a year or two older and if dojun was truly adopted, he would have known/remembered. i have a year younger than me brother and i remember memories of him being on my mom's stomach, stuff like that. i think the blank bubble was just an expression of dohwa's heartbreak that they were indeed brothers since it was also from his pov, and if dojun was adopted, given how dohwa is, he would have pursued dojun regardless bc he wouldve repeated the reason that they are not blood related over and over until it compels him to take action. like he doesnt have great self control either considering how he sa'd his brother.
dang i really like kaede. been shipping them so much since kaede started warming up to MC. i also like the president's younger brother, the one who tagged along the fishing trip. lmao this is my first time shipping a character w one of the romantic interests. didnt even ship anyone with the mc with ouran host club, uta no prince sama, and yumeiro patissierie (thats all the reverse harem anime/mangas i could remember i read and or watched but there was probably more).
also the janitor is straight up creepy can we just delete him? is there a summoning spell i can use to call forth truck kun?
Child predator alert （/TДT)/
SPOILER ON 2ND PARAGRAPH
a part of me *does* hope her mother sees sense and they reconcile, but a (larger) part of me hopes that her mother continues to get her pride the best of herself and tatiana becomes her karma (i feel like thats the direction the story is going for especially w making her mother greet her husband when the mother humiliated him years ago) in where tatiana becomes the instrument in which the mother has to apologize or bow her head down to the people she hurt. i mean, she used her daughters as tools to get herself power and wealth; im sure there are many more underhanded means she did just so she could get there.
and idc if the mother was secretly trying to treat her daughter's illness. why would u not disclose that to her, as well as tell her that that's one of the reasons why you were adamant on having her marry the duke? what was she thinking then when they cut each other off, was she just going to let her die? this js why the illness insertion seems like a last minute thing so that readers can soften up on mother, but at the same time it doesnt seem like it bc anne has said colds affect tiara more. like there were hints! but anywho, i hope the mother gets what she deserves, both good and bad.
