this author... really like chinese stuff huh... it's not a bad thing, just pretty interesting cause in my experience beyond JP, koreans avoid chinese aspects like the plague if they can...
Oh it's a cool but bazi is actually a thing! It's a fortune telling general term uhh thing (...) for people. So like they can determine your uh innate human 'weight' and 'future' in a sense if you know your birthday (but it has to be accurate to the time). It has stuff called 'bazi' and there are sort of different poems to describe someone's life through uhh ig various stages. So uhh if you had wenchangxing, you'd be a smart student or something. qisha is another one (apparently it describes a prostitute in her youth...). idk it's cool until you realize there are tens of thousands of probably millions of poems for different people and character types. And most of then use a ton of metaphors... that most people (even chinese people) don't understand lol.
But that uhh wood, fire, water, gold thing? Also the same system. The idea is that you have two sort of sets ig for the date. If you have two opposing elements uhhhh good luck... ig. You want to have it's called liuhe or six uhh connection??? If you want to have a good marriage you want to have liuhe with someone as well as sancaipeizhe (???). Basically your weight as a human should be the same as the person you're marrying. It's not as... obvious or straightforward as water against fire, but that's basically the idea. I think. there's secondary uh terms like you can be wood, but dark wood or light wood. yinmu or yangmu. Apparently yinmu people are two-faced and opportunistic...
There's also name numbering systems (but it only works for chinese names) that ig tell you your personality? Like, there are manuals on numbers to avoid umm 9, 19, so on so forth. 9 is a pretty bad number to have apparently (it's like equivalent of a two-faced asshole).
so if you know someone who has the value 9 for their name they probably are a yinmu.
Honestly, I'd prefer it if the older guy was interested in a nonsexual sense tbh, then it'd be cooler.
Not everything has to be sexual for people to like stuff... idk when authors will get that. There exists something called aromantic attraction, which is more likely than romantic attraction at this age gap.
（/TДT)/
He just gets married? Like that? To some random person?
What???
Like the martial arc was good but that last one was just fast paced nonsense. Like I don't mind him falling in love but that quickly?
That's faster than the speed at which mangago users click to see their favourite yaoi get updated...
Nah it’s pretty good. You just hating
No, imo it was pretty sudden for a manhwa of this type. Usually romance is slowly built into the entire narrative, not set to a specific arc. Like one arc they meet, next arc they spend time, next next arc they get closer or something.
It doesn't make much sense to me to do shove all of that into one arc and I know he has regressions, but since most of those are skipped, it's not like we have a sense of time.
I don't hate the romance, I just don't understand why they speedran it when they could've found a way to build it in over time.
It's like if they spent one entire novel writing about Harry and Ginny instead of a few chapters over the series.
they were off to a good start with the martial arts story then when he willingly went into the romance story himself that’s when it automatically went down hill for me.. i literally had to take a break from reading it no joke (〜￣△￣)〜 and i agree! it was too fast paced but considering they were on a time limit due to having to complete other apocalypses or whatever i guess it’s alright though i wish the author would’ve taken their time with it. i didn’t like the romance at all but maybe it was just because it was too fast paced.
I just realized, this is a satan x FL story, isn't it? idk why that's so funny to me... satan x FL, would you join me in hell? hahaha...
duck the other contestants - they're all annoying... except maybe garnet, pearl, and amythest.
Platinum is just a playboy.
Alexandrite is just suspicious and suspicion.
Owl Guy is the one that matters.
... It was owl guy or owl man-???
Do you not know what playboy means??
If he promises one girl all sorts of ridiculous things and a new one comes and it's like everything they said didn't matter, then yeah, they're a playboy. Their words are casually spoken without any sense of responsibility and he can just pretend they don't exist after someone new comes.
So yes, imo he's basically a playboy.
(... look, the meaning is conveyed why be so focused on specificity when words are fluid anyways?)
From webster
playboy
noun
play·boy ˈplā-ˌbȯi
Synonyms of playboy
: a man who lives a life devoted chiefly to the pursuit of pleasure
... ok??? Like I said, I conveyed the meaning, it's enough.
Okay except her isn't, he owes nothing to these two women especially when everyone, including the women, are doing the same.
What I was trying to say, which I guess you didnht get, was that he shouldn't have promised things to Obsidian and then gone back on his word when someone else comes. I'm not saying he can't like someone else, but things like saying he'd be willing to wait and then someone else comes and poof everything is gone is just idk cruel. Like, his words have no weight and that's why I called him a playboy, because, yes words have connotations and I was describing his attitude being similar to that of a playboy.
It's not that he owes the women anything, it's that he's uncaring about with what he says that I was disappointed in. I don't owe anyone anything, but I wouldn't be misleading only to like someone else. I'd explain it and be clear that our relationship is ambiguous for now.
Okay bud
MC treats people who like her like disposable trash. As long as you are loyal AND useful, you're a good person. There's no compromise of situation or even the barest attempt at understanding others. If you are loyal but not useful then you're just annoying. If you're useful, but not loyal, then you're just cannon fodder. You pose an indirect risk to her then she'll tear you apart regardless if you are directly at fault or not. Innocent or guilty, you stand in the way and she'll ruin you for existing. The only way she can balance her hate is through enacting revenge. Unless you prove both loyalty and usefulness, you are just pebbles underneath her carriage.
ML treats people who like MC as executable garbage. Either be over 50 or be younger than 15 when interacting with MC. If you look at her the wrong way, die. If you speak to her the wrong way, die. MC opens a shop and he'll burn all hell to make it successful. MC is faraway, he'll neglect duties to visit her. MC does something that makes him frustrated, he'll beat up people who are trying to help him to 'relieve' himself. Someone likes MC? That's grounds to make their life hell. Someone treats MC well? That's ground to make their life hell. He can only be the one who is good to MC. Literal disposable burnable trash. His design isn't even that good. His eye colour and hair colour give him the appearance of depictions of the river Styx in the underworld.
Two jerks are meant for each other. One who pretends not to care and one who cares too much. Isn't that amazing?
I hope Sion finds someone better to like than a woman who'll acknowledge that he likes her and continuously suggestively touch his face, his hands, and so on like one would with a dog. She won't even attempt to set boundaries or try to explain anything, she justs...???
So what her past is depressing, there was people with worse lives who have better personalities. I hate it when "Oh she had a terrible childhood" is an excuse for their shitty personality, that's just discrediting people who are good and remain good because they believe they should be good. A bad childhood is a reason, not an excuse...
(╬￣皿￣)凸
UR COOKING
is... is that a bad thing or a good thing???
GOOD THING!!! im saying you make good points!!!
ohh okk thanks ig (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
All of you are so excited for the duke's mansion thing cause they uh kiss and stuff, but look, they artist has to draw skeleton hands on Qin Jiu and You Hou and I think it'll be hilarious to see.
now I remember how uncomfortable that scene made me You Huo and Qin Jiu really are something else smh
their lifes' duty is to make everyone umcomfortable (⊙…⊙ )
oh do you remember they "very sexy" "not as sexy as you" thing? I died reading that.
STOPP, THAT WAS SO UNEXPECTED, ESPECIALLY FROM YOU HUO
Qin Jiu was rendered speechless. He didn't expect that comeback, infact, he didn't expect a comeback at all
Don't bully the big invigilator hahaha ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Blonde girl is either the author or someone who read the novel and wanted OG blonde girl to win.
Things like two-faced-ness eventually come out if you know them long enough. I don't think OG blonde girl was evil, but ig was infected. Black haired dog twins probably fell in love with OG blonde girl and system manipulated to cover new blonde girl.
She also knows what events to trigger to become 'similar' to the novel. There's no variation, and I just find that highly unlikely if OG red hair did them originally. She should have had some degree of difference since she's not red hair. She's probably the author imo or some watered down version of it so she has some degree of precognition.
idk, I feel like that's where this is going honestly. Older brother probably gets married to someone else. Younger brother probably stays with red hair. Happy ending. It'll just be a seesaw until then..
(I can't remember what Blonde girl's name is, but I remember the two jerks, but it's not consistent... if I knew two and not one)
You have good deduction skills, also nice Phos pfp!!
ur so on the nose about some stuff
it is the phos picture that enables my hidden brain cells to function... they're existance is a source of intelligence...
(but thanks!)
that's just proof of how much of these types of manga I've read... ┗( T﹏T )┛haha...
