does anyone have any recs with similar looking mls and pretty art? preferably ones where the main plot isnt about misunderstanding and lack of communication or any annoying bullshit like that
I’m wondering too
Maybe you like crash on paradise .
I finished reading the novel in 2 days and I feel so empty now. I really loved the story and how the author depicts trauma, healing, love, and care between people that become each others strengths while also becoming their greatest weaknesses. I cried seeing how much the original Revengers and Kwon Jihan care about Yoon Seo and desperately want him to live, even though he doesn't think he deserves a happy life. I loved seeing our main leads change as their beliefs are challenged. I was so happy that they ended up together--scars, trauma, and all. The story, Kwon Jihan, Yoon Seo are all so lovely, complex, and heartwrenching. How must it have felt for Yoon Seo to live in that hell, survive it all alone, for so long? How must it have felt to do it all again, remembering every single second, knowing that the deaths of all his precious comrades were so simply preventable through modern advancements? How must it have felt to gradually let go of the survivors guilt, while underneath it all, stubbornly sticking to his conviction to sacrifice himself alone? How must it have felt to watch that all from the outside? How must it have felt for Kwon Jihan in that moment of utter despair and desperation? How must it have felt seeing someone so broken be so burdened by the responsibility to keep the world safe? How must it have felt being crushed by the anxiety that this person could turn to dust at any moment--by physical limitations or by choice? I loved their characterizations. I loved their contradictions, their struggles, their interactions, their joy, their depth. I loved that Kwon Jihan cared for Yoon Seo while also respecting his strength, wishes, and autonomy. I loved Yoon Seo's insistence on not being a hero, only to emerge as a hero anyway in his own flawed, traumatized way. I loved how good but complex these characters were. I don't usually comment on anything but I'm so sad it's over and I needed an outlet for these thoughts and emotions. I think this is a story I'll remember for a long time. I wish there was more.
I feel you! I love this story so much, I reread it so many times already
This is so fucking stupid. Colonization by definition is always violent, marginalizing, and exploitative. There is no "good" colonization. This weak Mary Sue attempt in the FL is so annoying, braindead, and hypocritical. I liked this series at the beginning but the story has gone to who knows where and I don't care about a single character. You'd think an author from a country with a history like SK would know about how horrible colonization/tributary state/occupied status can be but I guess not. Dropped.
its not enough to drop for me but my goooooood this author could just focus on the story they started with and wed all be happy. why this dumb ass shit.
Hehe, actually the way I interpreted it is that the author is showing how flawed her Mary Sue mentality is by pitting her against the opinions of the rest of the cast, like Leo, the Prince, and even Aria.
It's rare that I see a manwha showing FL's strong sense of morality as a flaw rather than something the rest of the supporting cast applauds
oh fucking course its violent, but the point shes trying to make is that alough its violent it doesn't need to be more violent, people seem to be forgetting that the whole point of war is to come to an end to all the retaliation and fighting. Not to fight more afterwards, your opinion and didi's opinion are literally one and the same. idk why you're going on about Mary Sue FL when you're exactly like the braindead Gary Stu ML
I started having the same worry, especially during her debate with the crown prince on the matter, but the emperor calling her an idealist while he called his own son a radicalist was a reassuring factor for me. With all the FL's ideals, I was worried that the author might handle this war and its ravages through rose-colored glasses where everyone would get to hold hands at the end. But with the emperor saying that they need to find a way to "meet in the middle," I'm a lot more curious about the way they'll handle the aftermath of war. I don't think I'll be disappointed until I see how they handle the story at that point. I might just go back to read Kingdom if I'm unahppy with it (been stacking that war manga for years).
get this ai slop out of here wtf
