So what I got from the latest chapter was if kid durant hadn't cried and alerted others to come to the room and let the king's death be known earlier, shahid's mother would be alive becuz owen would have reached there according to their plan....
Like ik he was a kid that time but bruh
yah. fuck Durant!!
Yk I'll be honest on why I like this story becuz I see many people putting their view of it.
I think this is ONE OF the most close to realistic depictions I've seen of rape. And that's a low bar btw cause I'm comparing it with manhuas where mc immediately falls in love like randomly it makes no sense.
Atleast I can say that euihyun did not love taeju for what he was the entire season 1&2. I'm sure he got attached but that's not the same as love. To him having sex with taeju was purely just a way to earn money. He did not magically become ok with taeju's rut and did not accept his confession as
"oh ok uwu u love me then ig it's fine (⌒▽⌒)...
So that gives it atleast somewhat a plus point.
It's debatable when euihyun started to really love taeju but my best guess would be after euiyoung rescue incident happened.
I think euihyun's criteria for love is just someone who would really care for him and his family. Taeju's actions that time must have atleast touched euihyun' s heart in some way especially the time when taeju used his WISH to make euihyun promise to love himself.
As someone who struggled with mental health issues legit my eyes watered a little reading that ch cuz that line literally touched me and I wished someone would have said that to me when I was struggling.
taeju at the start is an absolute
asshole which I can't defend nmw but he learns to regret and grows better. I can see the difference in when he has a panic attack over euihyun thinking of dying vs his indifferent to someone's pain self in ch1.
And he's becoming better as we see he quit his job as a gangster and now is working honestly.
There is so much more I can writeee about the character development of taeju like it's actually not ASSS badly done as people say it is.
It's actually gold compared to other shit once read...
And comparing this work to jinx is just
PS IM NOT ROMANTICISING OR DEFENDING RAPE NOR DO I THINK TAEJU CAN BE DEFENDED. What I'm defending is the argument that no development happened or that is was absolute shit
It was hard going back to the beginning and seeing just how bad their first interaction was. Literally his first time. He bled. Tae showed very little remorse. And I believe it was partly due to thinking Euihyun wasn’t a great person himself (you know, taking his baby brother with him into the ocean)….. it’s just rough seeing the later chapters and realizing how bad the beginning was. He’s lucky Euihyan began to feel anything at all for him. He did become a much better person after…..but those first chapters are rough
hmm i agree. taeju is lucky euihyun could look past his shitty actions and love him.
like no matter how good they turn out to be i personally can't see this happening in real life.
But mehh ig it's fiction and eventually it's euihyun's mental state and acceptance of taeju so how can I question. The actions Taeju commited were not ignored or automatically become ok. He had to do his share of repentance and beg for forgiveness.
Bar is in hell and the baby is cute so overall I like this story for what it turned out to be.
Bar is DEFINITELY in the deepest darkest dankest level in hell.
I appreciate being able to critique a story I truly came to love. Realistic? Fuck no. But in a fantasy world sure…pheromones and debt and rape and power imbalances can somehow equate to love.
It helped when Tae spoke with his dads and tried to understand him a little better. When he realized how frightening the world was from Euihyan’s perspective. But then he like, immediately fucked him so lmfao bar in hell indeed.
no fr this story is one of my all time favorites but i will always critique taeju and and i still think he shouldve done more to make up for it. but at the same time, it is realistic in that in real life you do get over terrible things and cope with what you have. its not a healthy relationship dynamic that anyone should get into, but taeju is fictional and his charcater is set to unconditionally love euihyun so it works out.
Fair, I see your points, but it still makes it a (repeated) rapist redemption story, and that's what makes it so shitty. We truly wanna see more stories where we get rapists who are either left and not given a chance, aren't loved due to redemption, get harmed in some way by the survivor (Id love to see a survivor revenge plot, where the survivor makes the rapist feel like his redemption worked just to stab him in the back metaphorically or not lol), or heck, they somehow die or are killed off, or even end up in jail (pure fiction, I know, cause it doesn't happen enough irl). But redemption? Stockholm syndrome dynamics? Ugh. Even with the background of mental illness (which make it kinda realistic and logical that there would be a trauma bond between the perpetrator and the victim), it's so overdone and it just goes to show how heteronormative dynamics are processed through BL imo.
...Guys...Please give me spoilers...Is Candy dead or ill?? The dog was way too quite in recent episodes and sleeping a lot...I hope not
it hasnt been revealed yet !
people are just speculating it's because of candy but we don't actually know yet !
It's a hiatus guys...The raws are on hiatus for all of May...The final episode of S3 will come out in June..(>_<)...The notice of the author translated:
Hello, this is Euja.
Normally, the final episode of the season would come out soon, but the road to completion is a little longer thus <Night at the Waterside> will be closed for the month of May to help my physical and mental health
This is to ensure a smoother progress until the end, so we ask for your understanding.
Let’s meet again in June and run until the end!!
I hope author is healthy and wraps up the season well but the cliffhanger-
NOOOOOOOOOO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHYYYYYYYUUY IM SOBBING AND SCREAMING
CHAPTER PLOT DISCUSSION: (If anyone still does it)
Idg what Brian's plan was. Was it to anger Lorkan into a fight so he can learn more about mana that way through their duel cuz ain't no way was Lorkan teaching him if he asked.
If that was it then it was wayy too reckless (atleast one thing that didn't change after reincarnation lol)
+ The countries who "oppose" magic and dragon as a rules as stated in 87. I wonder if that has something to do with Darwin that Lorkan supposedly formed for Ian. Like is a non magic only goddess worshipping nation still here or that only formed after all of this cuz atp it seems magic and mana is pretty accepted by almost all nations.
+ raw spoilers (the way lorkan is getting jealous of Sol lmao just wait 2 ch guys you'll see beginnings of envvyy)
I have a feeling that Brian's death will have more to do with why Lorkan wants a magic free country for Ian than this incident. I feel like this is the first incident to just have Lorkan realize how amazing Brian is.
Yeahh I can see that happening.
Maybe it was also serving a purpose of locating him. If Brian with his immense mana was born in Derwin he would be treated as an anomaly and easier to find(?)
I personally don't think that Lorkan killed Brian to have his next incarnation...seems pretty soap opera types to me so like you said it may have to do with magic but we'll see
YES TYSM. I miss ch discussions.
My thought was, maybe he was trying to do similar to Lorkan as he did with Sol in the beginning and get him to view humans differently. The easiest way is through himself maybe?
Not sure. I’m very curious why Lorkan developed an obsession with Brian to the point where he was at as the cardinal. Cuz the country he made surely isn’t great for Ian, so it must have something to do with whatever happens between them now leading up to Brian’s death, and like Lorkan’s previous convo with Rularch when he said he’d want his human in a cage they could leave but refuse to (or whatever it was).
I don't either. I think Lorkan is going to fall for Brian and magic itself will be what kills Brian so Lorkan will come to hate it
Ian wait Discussion
Lmao the people saying "it's been a year already" about Ian's appearance seem funny to me. Maybe it's because I am a huge manga reader that all update almost monthly that I am used to waiting for yearsssss for my fav characters to show up. And longtime BL fans also know what I am talking about. For an artist to draw 50-60+ ch season they usually take a 6-7 month hiatus minimum (which they deserve).
I am so used to waiting that I don't feel it's been that long since Ian's ch lol. The ones commenting are probably new fujoshis OR probably people who *really* love Ian/present time.
Lmao this really makes me feel like a veteran Like it's just been 1 year lol. Sekaiichi Hatsukoi updated like once every two years when I was new into BL and following it (practically built my patience)
The "back in my day" feeling really starting to hit a lot lately it was an honor of Finder updated at all lmfao
If*
Thiiiis. Some bl manga even takes years to update 1 chapter to the point that you need to reread the manga every update haha so this kind of pacing is actually very fast for us. I feel so old.
NO WAY I JUST WROTE A 2 PARA COMMENT ONLY TO RELOAD THE PAGE CUZ WTF
WHYYYYYYYYYY
WHYYYYYYYYYYYY
I FUKING HATE MYSELF AND THIS STUPID BROWSER AND THIS STUPID KEY PAD AND MOUSE POINTER
Btw guys Brian's name is is literally spelled Bu-rii-Aan in korean characters and Ian is spelled ii-aan.
So it's literally bri added to ian lol.
Ian's next incarnation is probably Anne (aan)
Then he's out of letters to make a decent sounding name...
Conclusion: Ian gets 3 reincarnation only. mindblowing theorryyyy (▰˘◡˘▰)
.

Idk why i wrote this lmaoo im soo sorry.
Ok I swear I'm not usually this dumb but I've tried to summarise the story I understood till now please tell me if anything is wrong
/*Spoilers for the plot till now
Ok so il-in hated muni and had him indirectly killed by drowning but liked him once he was not responding due to coma types shit. Then he planned to do that serpent ritual thing for which he drained muni's blood and seperated his soul to revive only his ideal part of it(not the obsessive part) and kept the part he did not want in a piece of paper hence separating muni's soul.
Shaman was also trying to use the snake to revive her brother.
Now the ritual failed and the "ideal" muni gets reincarnated into Giyun(who even looks like Il-in's ideal type in this life) and leftover paper muni is left in the world as a spirit.
Young master with shaman help tries for next life. His next life is Yitae.
Shaman's descendent is the girl Yuran.
Yitae doesn't remember anything from his past so when paper muni (let's call him muni now) finds him he's pissed. He discovers that he can control Yitae and when people he possesses/controls are with Yitae he gets energy (?) so he does that shit and manipulates Yitae to hate Giyun(cause he doesn't like how he looks like il-in's ideal type)
And og Yitae was already attracted to giyun (let's hold hands while I show u the way typa shit) until muni interfered and manipulated him.
Then to fulfill his grudge and desire muni created this fake il-in (yellow eyes) and made him believe that he was actually the young master soul that was reborn as Yitae but can't possess his body all the time. And then he made that fake il-in also fuck people he controlled/possessed to in a way get the "Young masters" love and be free but then realised it doesn't work cause it's not "muni"that he's loving.
Then randomly the real il-in's soul is somehow awakened inside Yitae (blue eyes) and he loves giyun cuz that's his ideal version of muni for which he wanted a second life.
Giyun hates Yitae but sometimes randomly wants to be with him (like kiss or have sex voluntarily) because many evil spirits who died in the ritual serving il-in are messing with him. Some of them hate il-in and some love him so hence the behaviour of giyun which he can't control sometimes.
Then what is the version of muni(let's call him hater muni) that sometimes appears in the story and HATES that giyun is trying to remember their death and says that he ruined everything like in chapter 83 and the part that Yuran saw under the blanket when she tried to convince giyun to accept il-in's love...?? Does anyone know if it's explained till now?
Also when muni and giyun are having a reunion again hater muni comes mid convo to tell muni to fuck of. And that time muni says the essence of hater muni resembles that of his "brother"... WTF Didn't the shaman have the brother. Why did muni mention brother? I suspect muni isn't just muni but also the serpent and or shaman? Cuz he slithers and shit...
Where is the og reincarnated Yitae's soul now??
.............
Help pls
Follow up question... Where is Yitae's soul now?? Not the young master or the fake one...
The Hater Muni is part of a serpent spirit that was sacrificed to awaken the Muni.
