Art is half the story, respectively to which I connect with up until chapter 65 (end of season one). Don't understand as to why so many users are so violently demeaning others for the dislike in art style change. they're not hating the author, nor against the new artist, simply stating that now, as I experienced, it is no longer the same story that can be told. It's a clear difference. Many people forget that people can have a valid reason for voicing their displeasure and do not have to tolerate others essentially telling them to "shut up" about it because they personally define it as "complaining". Stating my opinion here: take your advice if you don't like this comment, don't read it if you don't like it.

Some sketchy sons of bitches in here alright. Waiter, the bill, please. Me, the mc and Eeron will be riding out of here peacefully while the rest are left to their own devices. Pulling hair, whatever, leave them to it, and us out of it. They are the epitome of exhausting

Anyone know if this has a web novel? If so, any good translation website links, I would be tremendously grateful ╥﹏╥

It's starting to not make sense in the motive department unless we consider the possibility of the dutchess having already been subjected to the state of being actively consumed by the darkness therefore lacking any ability to stabalize a rational mind. Otherwise she'd maintain no further drive / reason when the emperor (bitch ass) goes onto clarify it was his former empress choice he had honored.

Don't get me started on the numerous accounts of plot holes. Not sure if it's due to poor organizational structure or missing points carefully threaded together in the novel (not entirely sure if it has one) but encountering the one by one was nothing short of a headache. One example being her highness, the princess inability to track mc's whereabouts. When on the other hand you have the crown prince who at the snap of his fingers traced her story to its orgins. Yet the princess who was supposedly searching for her ferociously, couldn't? Okay, well maybe the crown prince had access to more readily available resources and information due to it being within the boundaries of his kingdom. You could argue such things until a knight crossed over already suspicious and damn near out for blood, aware of her name, etc.. While we're at it, let's also ignore that said knight stated to the mc she would report immediately to her highness, the princess, after arriving back in her kingdom. Who then we were shown only afterward having the mc's location unveiled via a portrait another relative royal happened to buy, by chance no less.

Overall, I can't help but feel many of these issues could've been resolved with much less difficulty. Misunderstandings which could've been debunked given proper communication. Constant presence of gaslighting (excluding the empress whom unjustifiablely endured ten years of straight torture) I acknowledge can be quite difficult to deal with whilst trying to remain level headed. However that being said, there are many instances where in regards to the schemes drew up by the dutchess, allies could've turned the tables in their favor. Taking this aspect into mind it was frustrating digesting the plot route suggesting and reaffirming they were essentially powerless but were also somehow unable to properly orchestrate schemes of their own to defend themselves.

In short, the emperor can go to hell, dutchess has insane plot armor, love empress and crown prince, mc understand her reasoning but ultimately shes creating excuses for herself under the premise she must entirely focus on her duty without objection.

It's contradictory in the way lee ja-in approaches humanity. In the description it sources that humans fear what they do not understand therefore commit atrocious acts. Under this inclination, Lee Ja-in in his impression of humanity does exactly that. Despite encountering individuals who defy the stem of his hatred. Through this webtoon it's almost as if he actively denied or refused to care over this thought. I thought it intriguing considering the immense portrayal of him trying to validate and dissect his decision making. In addition to this, he viciously denounces humanity for trampling over those who are lesser on the technical food chain. Only to yet again, do the same thing. I find it interesting identifying these elements in the content I read where the thought between an intention actively goes against the belief it vows.

Hoping every child in this webtoon meets a happy ending. However that may look like. No child deserves a life built upon becoming familiar with pain over the good experiences and memories that shape us and we come to hold dear through the appearance of happiness. Children, animals, nature, the three most pure forms brought into this world and those alike. Resembling an abundance of blessings meant to be treasured and regarded as precious regardless of circumstance.

Often subjects such as these become a soft spot for me personally. For the vast majority of parents (with the exception of unique & fairly understandable variables) it is a product of their own selfishness choosing to bring forth a child into this world. Which is often a disregarded topic, especially when considering the "popular" opinions spun by traditionally older generations that children are to be eternally "grateful" toward their own parents. Yet it is those very same children who are treated an unjustifiable cruelty due to their fate of being unable to choose their own parents.

Which brings me to my stance. Children do not serve to fulfill adults expectations. Those who fail to acknowledge the responsibilities, or take accountability for assuming an active and present role in the necessary growth needed to raise a child cannot hope to achieve the title nor obtain the qualifications to reasonably be labeled a parent. To be more accurate the base of my message is if one does not try to be a parent (effort, earnest, genuine, growth, reflection) they cannot honorably take on the truth of what it means to be a parent or be called one. This is especially the case for the "parental figures" portrayed in the webtoon thus far.

That being said, I'm rooting for every individual character up till now, excluding the self proclaimed "parents" in the Colden kingdom. Whom can go fuck themselves. All I want to see is the children be happy. As well as the pink haired daughter of the duke. I hope she doesn't serve solely for the purpose of becoming a villainess pushing against the agenda advertised by the main leads. As she too was a victim, in part, strung along by her parent's grand ambition, and schemes. Let them have the opportunity to grow, sincerly author, I'm on my knees. I don't want another broken plot, something wholesome, I beg. ╥﹏╥

Somewhat also excited to see the potential couple pairings! Secretly in favor of Lilliana & prince Milan and prince Lucian & princess Livia, ships. Crossing my fingers they sail!!

don't relate as to why many users loathe the fl to the degree they do. Ignoring the misunderstandings piled, she's not the farthest shot from morally sound I've seen for a main side character / romantic interest... she's improving steadily with time. I somewhat prefer this fl spin, it feels more natural and human to me. Many cases people, starting out, aren't the greatest on their own but it is the individuals that come into their life and events that transpire that change and shape them for the better. Hoping this is the case here, as well. If not, then I will consider dropping, until then, I'll hold out for this possibility.

lmfao, this webtoon leaves me cackling any time a new chapter update comes in. It should almost be renamed, If peak comedy came to a fantasy webtoon. Though I am eager to see the progression of the main story plot lines and the identity behind the mc and his unique character synchronization, I am also hopeful the jests here and there remain. The most fun webtoon I've read in a while (among other like favorites) can't believe it's already come to the end of season one!! Can't wait to see what season two may have in store for us. I'll be patiently waiting (even if it's not that long) to see the results!! (づ￣ ³￣)づ

I enjoy the discussions between challenging and opposing perspectives regarding corrupt societal values in this manga.

For instance, how swiftly a person / group can manipulate a situation into only dealing the results they'd like. In many cases, it doesn't boil down to lack of self awareness, but merely the power that comes along with controlling the narrative. Mass exposure is especially considered effective.

It often isn't discussed the overall lack of empathy and how integrated largely immoral practices found the walls of a fragile structure such as our current modern state (for example). Along with the absence of proper justification. It puts to show how far the rot has spread, from the stem on up.

I'm a firm advocate in the belief that the notion behind claims of general "superiority," are absolutely groundless. There is sincerly, no such thing. There is no reason on earth as to why you must commit hideous, vile and repulsive acts under the conclusion you are above one another. It's rather incredibly telling of an individual if this serves as their only driving purpose to act the way they do. Feeding into the inferiority complex spiral, does not make you a winner, folks. In the end, you'll end up on the same ground, perhaps finally realizing in life, it was your loss. Taking things for granted as life passed you by in a blip. I rather admire the mc for speaking upon "status" and it's harmful impacts while advocating it shouldn't be your determining factor of value

The argument I favor most, thus far, here is the boundary between thinking ideally and realistically. The "villainess" more resembles a blunt realist who reminds you, you can't play with people's lives like they don't get hurt or people don't directly experience consequences as a result of your actions. The "heroine," got on my nerve for this one (╬￣皿￣)凸. That's not how the world works. It's incredibly simple minded to view and approach subjects in such a manner. Flaws will always exist, no matter the timeline, nor place, it does not discriminate. You're ignorant if you think otherwise. Life isn't a basket full of flowers and a bow to tie it together with. Life is many things, but easy is not one of them

There's a lot of unsolved speculation, as long as you keep that in mind, it's a thrilling story to unravel. To me, at very least. I like a good plot that ties together nicely at the end. I hope we get to uncover more about Emi. Hopefully (crossing my fingers) we don't encounter a common slew of misunderstandings in the process or loss of unique character personality traits along the way. So far, so good, in my opinion.

Praying for a nice, happy ending! Emi deserves a break after remaining dedicated and slaving away to create her manhawa!! Justice for all the hardworking authors and artists out there!! (▰˘◡˘▰)
