dude, I completely blocked my memories of reading this and starting over nowomfg I can't take it
yk I do occasionally think about carcel's cheating from a wider pov than just the "cheaters are the worst" (they are)
I mean he was engaged to a woman before he was even 10 years old, as he got older assumed she must have liked him at least to get engaged, then have the same woman completely and utterly shut him out for no explained reason and then act utterly cold to him like she didn't care at all about him.
it does lead me to wonder, if the gender roles were switched here, would we still look at carcel's choices as trashy or just the actions of someone trapped. especially cuz (i can't remember but) was he even allowed to call off the engagement? all he could do was delay it right?
ik most likely ideum is gonna fall first but it would just be so funny if the top falls first
I feel like people are hating on the ones complaining about Varia's arc when what they aren't getting is not that people just hate Varia for no reason, they hate her cuz she's not written well into the story. If she was written well and the duke falling in love with her was handled better it would have been good.
from the beginning Varia is treated as this intelligent returnee who has more information than others but 1. she never really seems to act upon it/act like it, except for the documents she showed, 2. she doesn't seem intelligent in the first place, just intelligent in the author-said-so-so-she-is way, unlike how we see Leo and the Duke show how they get along with each other. And if Varia was truly impressive then it would be fun to watch the Duke hopelessly fall in love since he's such an impressive character, but if Varia can't even impress the readers why would a Duke who has seen unnumbered amount of impressive women who work for him/with him be impressed with this lady?
lowk am I the only one who thinks the sex was so realistically portrayed after they get together?? it was just so sweet and intimate
if people thought it was ai why not just put it in an ai detectordumbasses
also looking back at it wtf was the purple haired girl going on about? what sort of twisted person blames someone's best friend for their accident?
clearly there was an argument but the way she made it sound, you would think mincheol pushed haneul into the traffic like wtf
bro how is your first reaction after seeing your spouse that has been missing for so long that you thought he was dead to: have sex. are you kidding me. crying, relief, fear, hurt. all of that and just... sex?
I think factors related to Garam are influencing how this story is being written. like lowkey, just to make Garam a victim, Jaehyuk's character is being actively degraded, compared to his redemption that they put sm work in writing
I do wonder what makes the difference between the werewolf and the old man. is it all not rape after all?
I'm so sick of people defending Garam. I understand his trauma. I understand what reality is like for gay people. Hell I have had to hear the shit that's been said to him, except I almost got straight up disowned.
He still is a fucking coward pos who ran away from the one guy whose done everything for him up till now. Even if you feel burdened by it all, even if it scares you, you couldn't spare the guy who did all that the small dignity of being truthful to his face? Especially after everything you pulled? Good lord if he doesn't get a good redemption arc I'm gonna hate ts forever.
what the fuck. both of them are being stupid. jaehyuk doesn't get to out Garam, no matter the circumstance. People are ok with gay people behind screens but the moment you tell them you are actually gay and dating they flip real quick. Everything changes.
On that note, it's so beyond unfair of Garam to just leave. I'm sorry he's been so much more emotionally immature. Jaehyuk is stupid but when he asks questions, Garam shrugs them off. Jaehyuk literally did the mature thing here realising they are both too worked up for the argument to actually go anywhere and decided to cool off and what does this guy do?
OML PMO.
I figured out what it is. the art style didn't just change, it got very flat and 2d. the original had depth and shadows and interesting angles. rn it's just basic every comic panel ever. also the humor is just gone, it's not as funny anymore. that's the real problem. no funny, only mid content
