This webtoon has potential. However, despite my like for the mother and son, I can't understand and support Ercella's negligence of her own child. This might be normal. There are mothers who are worser than Ercella.
I would understand her hate if she got raped and had Vincent. But Ercella's reasons behind why she neglected and hated her child doesn't seem justifiable and seem childish in my eyes.
Maybe it's because my own mother never gave me or my brother up no matter what shit life was throwing at her. Compared to my mother, Ercella was so much more fortunate. My father left my mother, who is penniless and unemployed with 2 young children. She got several marriage offers from wealthier men even after her separation. But because she feared how step-father might treat us, she never remarried.
My brother and I used to be so hurt about our father's abandonment. Fortunately, we had our maternal uncle who loved and cherished us like gems. If our uncle wasn't there, my brother and I would have always felt that void. Just like that Vincent would always feels that void.
So, that's why I'll drop this webtoon. This is a good one. But I feel that that the reasons the author gave about why Ercella grew to Vincent so childish.
I also cannot support the mother’s emotional negligence of her son. Even if the child is raised without any difficulties or struggles due to wealth, emotional negligence can have severe impacts on a child’s emotional/mental development. However, I also understand that not all mothers love their or are able to love their children. The reason for Ercella’s lack of love and even resentment for her son is highly likely due to postpartum depression and possibly even post traumatic stress disorder. What really struck me hard was her internal thought “I don’t know” when she was asked why she didn’t love her son by her husband.
i don’t believe it’s justified per say but she probably suffered from post partum depression. Which i also have seen happen to first time mothers and it can cause that drift to happen. At least she acknowledges that she was wrong but she honestly couldn’t have done anything better. She had no support system and felt held back by having a child. She obviously couldn’t have gotten an abortion if she wasn’t ready.
Oh yeah, it’s definitely not justified. Reason does not equal justification for sure. ( T﹏T )
I support your standpoint and I can see where you are coming from but Mental Health will never be childish her negligence towards her own child shouldn't be forgiven nor should it be excused however her reasons while as low as some people might think is still valid.
I don't think the reason Erecella is cold to Vincente is childish at all. Severe depression is pretty serious, and often isn't taken seriously by those who haven't experienced it first hand or those who don't fully understand it. It's not something people can push through sometimes with sheer force of will.
It's a mental illness, and what it does is it causes lapse in judgement, and disconnection from reality. Sometimes you can wake up and not know where you are. Sometimes you are compelled to do bad things for just that temporary sense of relief because the times when you aren't asleep, living feels like utter torture. Sometimes you KNOW you're depressed, and you can't stop the feeling of self-loathing, alienation, paranoia and the desire for self-torture. Even when your physical environment is one of safety and full of comfort, you could still be so deeply hurt and never fully understand why.
I'm sorry your folks had a rough life growing up, I'm glad you made it out okay, but even when circumstances are different, everyone experiences pain the same way. No one's pain outweighs another by justification of circumstance.
I read many mangas where no matter what the ML does the MC always forgive him at the end and they both get back together. Some mangas that act the opposite way are..
- Cappuccino
- Ten years when I loved you the most
- Cat Street
Please recommend me mangas like this. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your list and your quick reply.
Please recommend me any of the best groveling mangas you read. I love to shed tears over a good one.
But please do not recommend mangas like Overdose, Innocent Blue, First Love (Miyuki Abe) and Scarlet because those mangas where the MC forgives way too easily makes my blood boil.
I don't mind the MC and Ml ending up together. But the MC or Ml shouldn't forgive the other way too easily like the ones above.
My favourite groveling mangas are 10 Years Where I Loved You The Most, Warui Yume, and Cappucino.
I like shoujos too, So anything is fine. Thanks.
P.S. I already read Palace of Bardo.
Transparent Cohabitation
Cool Uncle
Ghost Wife
Thank you so much. Looks like I'll be shedding tears again. Thanks again.
I can't believe that the uke is forgiving the seme for the all shit he has done not only to the uke but also to hundreds of lives because of his obsession?
Come on, the seme never ever repented for killing people whimsically for no reason?
EXACTLY !! this ain't a character development
Ur aware that that's his past life right ...
That's from the past life. And the current emperor himself was surprised to know what he has done before. Knowing the uke hates him for it, he decides to change. It's still character development if one changes for the better.
The emperor was willing to his own son and was killing his bed partners senselessly. He should be excused and forgiven just because he regrets hurting his lover when he ruined hundreds of lives?
Agree with you. I was so excited thinking that this story will be different from others. I still like this webtoon, but not too excited as before.
Well, the seme kind of did regret killing the others senselessly too. It's a subtle progression, since he is slowly learning little by little from the uke chastising him here & there. He is way more forgiving in the recent current lifetime compared to before he regained his memories, or his past life. This is a spoiler, but you'll see that in the end, he is also very merciful to the arch enemies. He could have done his worst, given that he was the target of the assassination attempt, plus that also put his beloved uke's life in grave danger too. But ultimately, he did not. Would that count as something?
Do bl fans love to rave in this self proclaimed righteousness .... ur aware it's a work of fiction and it's part of the story line , what do u want them to do lock him up in jail ..... even real life royals of this era in real life are just as bad even worse .
So yes even if he killed his sex partners in bed and tried to hit his son , it's gonna be excused cause that's what the plot says it will be . We all need to know how fiction works .
agreed.
