This is a big spoiler so read it only if you really like spoiler
So actually, the one that kill the dad is Dokja by stabbing him with a knife. He did it to protect his mom that is getting beaten up by his dad. His mom make it seems like she was the one that kill the douch bag to protect Dokja mentally and physically. Because the trauma is so big Dokja memories of that day is very vague and distorted. There is 1 main reason she wrote the book, it's to make sure that people sees her as the murderer and erase all the possibility of anyone finding the truth that Dokja is actually the one who did it. But surprisingly the book became best seller and she gather a lot of money. While she was in prison, she entrusted Dokja to a relative and give them a lot of money for his living expense with the hope that it can ease his pain and suffering, unfortunately the greedy relative took all the money and never give it to Dokja so he suffer a lot by having no family nor money.
So yeah very complicated relationship, they somehow came to understanding but never fully recover their relationship.
I knew it! Reading too many novels/stories made me arrive to that conclusion too. She was acting too sus by making him hate her too much.
Yeah reading too many novels/stories made you capable of predicting many plot twist! I don't know if it already depict in the manhwa but one thing that make Dokja really hate his mother is because she never talk to him. He use to visit her when he was young and she said noting so he just talked about the novel the entire visit. While i dont remember the reason why she never talked, but i guess she's not saying anything to prevent her from reavealing the truth or show herself falling apart in front of his son. I truly pity Dokja's mother because she's doing everything that right to protect his son but make his live miserable instead.
If I remember it correctly, the meaning of Tia and empress conversation is since Tia have no mother and her father seems to have no interest in searching for a fiancee for her, the empress as mother of a nation (woman with the highest position in the empire) offer to help her find a partner. Since Tia is the most loved lombardi grandchildren, with a loaded father and incredible connection to pellet merchant, the empress show indication that she want to partner Tia with her son the first prince. Which literally make tia want to barf LOL. She was looking around at first to make sure there is no adult lombardi there that can interrupt her and wan to pressure Tia to accept that's why she ask her in public with so many eyes around (she think Tia is a pushover that she can't get away from her offer). Bu
I started reading this manga with a skeptical mind about the age gap but never been happier to be proven wrong!!! LOL
This manga is GOLD!! Good art along with excellent story! I'm so glad to discover it when its complete otherwise it would kill me LOL
I'm very excited after confirming that Sarah is Ren's mom and the fact that Kyoko already met her future in laws (LOL) BUT WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE HIATUS NEXT MONTH WHEN THE STORY FINALLY GOING FORWARD!!
I know its very entitled of me to complain but i just want to vent my disappointment please forgive me (●￣(ｴ)￣●)
i totally get it
we've been stuck going in circles for YEARS and now that we're finally getting somewhere its like hehe sike! wait here and suffer
I understand your impatience with this great story that is Skip Beat. But if you pay attention to the chapter releases you'll see author didn't take vacation for more than a year or two. She deserves her holidays. Let's hope she gets all the rest she needs to produce more pages for the next couple of chapters.
And we can read it again from the beginning to refresh our memories. I enjoy this so much, i'm fine with any plot author-san put forward. I am more afraid of an indefinite hiatus than vacations (￣∇￣")
Am I the only one (probably not) that already read the spoiler but still got goosebumps all over my body while reading this manga?? I wan to stop but too curious about the story line (⊙…⊙ )
I don’t know it’s because the chapter updated frequently but i love that this manga quickly solve the misunderstandings and have a good communication (well except their feeling for each other). Can’t wait to see the progress of their relationship and family matter
This manga is one of the most disappointed manga I've ever read. Full of lousy plot and misunderstanding. No improvement at all with a reoccurring conflict....
Save your time reader...
Thanks. I read until ch 5 and i got pissed bcz if his indifferent personality. No emotions at all ugh. He knows he's pretty. Asshole
Yeah, fuck this. He's an asshole and the FL doesn't call him out on his bullshit. No interesting progress. I'm out
I find you a little harsh "the most disappointed manga I've ever read"
There is much worse as manga...
uh i dont think it was THAT bad..? It was annoying at some points but I think it was to be expected that the girl would make him jealous and he would also make the girl jealous. it was your typical shoujo romance manga so ofc its gonna have plots like this... if ya’ll hated it so much then just don’t read this genre lol. no hate to you but like its just a lot, saying it was the most disappointing manga you’ve read. Cause in all honesty its cute :/
im literally just here for the art work and the second hand embarrassing moments
I fully agree with you
Nah. I love shoujo. I don't mind plots about misunderstandings and jealousy, but I mind toxic relationships and inconsiderate characters. In the beginning of a relationship you might have some communication problems, but you're supposed to get better, explain your way of thinking to your partner and do your best not to hurt them. They don't do that. She's in high school, so some immaturity is to be expected from her, but him? He's just an asshole. And that doesn't seem to be dealt with. Compare this with "Dengeki Daisy", where they have a similar age gap, but their relationship progresses, they apologize to each other when they have hurt the other and learn to communicate better. It's might be harsh to say "most disappointing manga", but honestly it's true, I wanted to wash my eyes with holy water after reading this.
If you like this, go ahead. I read some mangas with a questionable plot as well, guilty pleasure or whatever. Just don't reenact that behavior in your own relationships and we're good.
If you feel mad about Renald, don't .....
He was brainwash. Every game character is brainwash by Yvon with those power of ancient leila that's why in the game every male lead love her. Fortunately Renald and the Duke manage to escape form the brainwash and still care for Penelope. Derdick in the other hand completely brainwash by Yvon. In the end of the story only Renald and the Duke that has relationship with Penelope and her child.
In the end of story you mean the end of the novel?
That's so sad :(
I thought we'd have a redemption moment with the older brother later on
Nah, he’s a weirdo he doesn’t deserve a redemption, he’s an asshole, stupid and a creep, and he also has some weird obsessive romantic-ey feelings for Penelope so I say that’s his karma and good riddance. His entire character disturbs me
what happens to Derrick the old bro??
He is brainwashed by Yvone to ruin Penelope. There are few reason why he is an easy target to brainwashed. First he felt guilty about binging Yvone to the festival when she went missing. He lost his grip on her when the firework star and crowd are moving and the're unable to find her (latter it is shown that the Leila take Yvone immediately after she is separated form Derdick so there is no way they can do to find her) and second it is because He FRAKING FALL IN LOVE ROMANTICALLY WITH PENELOPE!!. When all of the main conflict ended Penelope go back to the dukedom to say final goodbye and Derdick who has been stab by Yvone has the balls to confes (or tried I forgot) and told Penelope to stay for him (Yeah right evermore reason to go). In the end Penelope reject him badassly and satisfyingly. He never really in Penelope life let alone her child. If I'm not wrong Reinald is the one that success the family (I read novel MTL so it's not really accurate). He is a stranger to Penelope and her newfound family.
WTF
I feel so disgusted, dude really went the yucky step bro route
Thanks for explaining clearly, I understand why there's absolutely no hope for him now
