I'm barely past chapter 5, but I urge everyone to take their vitamin D and let the sun touch you for a like 10 minutes
Everyone in this looks so white they seem anemic, like a society comprised only of twilight vampires lol
Lol right? I understand Seo An case as a person who barely goes outside. But Woowon is hella pale for how much he works.
I always laugh when they make the men nippleless
A glorious plastic smooth ken doll chest lol
Exactly I was like… “where are his nipples??”
Yesh
Definitely antisocial personality disorder there
But it really is interesting how the author brings realistic stuff to the story
I mean, landslides caused by deforestation have been a thing in our world for a while, but I don't think I have seen these kind of man made disasters in manhwa fiction so well
It's always "a monster attack happened!", "the villains caused this with magic" or they don't even explain it lol
Really poetic that she caused her own father's death because of her ambitions
Calisto I beg of you
I know a marriage of convenience seems perfect for your prince head, but Penelope really just needs someone to just stand in her corner right now
I love the angst, but my girl can't stand that much longer, to the point I wanna be isekaied there just to hug her
(づ T﹏T)づ
I'm sorry but Callisto has been in her corner since the beginning. Penelope is just so scared and wrapped up in the mechanisms of the game system that she cannot see actual reality. She thinks that the only way that someone will fully support and protect her is if their favorability is at 100%, which is just ridiculous. You can have people protect you and support you even if you are not their #1 favorite person in the world. She just cannot bring herself to separate this basic human knowledge from what she considers a game and characters in a game. She is in survival mode the whole time and in many ways, she doesn't consider Callisto or any of the other guys human. Callisto grew up without concept of love and in an environment that was forever trying to kill him, very similar to OG Penelope, and he still is willing to open himself to her, but in the way an actual human would to another, offering companionship and support but not pledging to lay down their everything because their relationship is just not there yet. That is not how HUMANS behave. He should not talk about love when he's never known it. He's offering everything he knows he can give. His support, his strenght, his companionship, him framing it under the guise of an arranged marriage means nothing because it doesn't change the offering at all. I'm sorry but he hasn't done anything wrong at all. It's Penelope who cannot divorce what she thinks she needs from what she actually needs, and as try seeing him as an actual complex, thinking human.
Yeah, I understand what you're saying about him showing his support the way he can and not being taught was love is, I get that he won't be the greatest in demonstrating it.
However I think you're forgetting that she's too wrapped up in the game because she's terrified of being being murdered by the very people who just started to warm up to her if she doesn't fill the necessary conditions.
Of course she's gonna be stuck in survival mode the whole time, when she's constantly aware that anything less then 100% from a character will lead to her being murdered.
In my eyes Penelope did what she had to do, in no point the story gave her leeway to relax.
And to be honest I think she avoids getting to close to people and seeing them as people because she was also never treated that way. People either tramped her few attempts of reaching out, treated her like she had no feelings or expected the worst of her.
After a while that tires someone, so I think right now she's in the mental state of "being vulnerable means getting hurt, so I'm not doing that anymore".
In the end, I guess my point is that if Callisto wants to pursue her for real, he needs to do some emotional thinking real fast and realize what she needs isn't the kind of support he offered (marriage of convenience), but actual emotional support.
He needs to stand by her emotionally and not only socially or politically, because I think that's the only thing that will make Penelope's walls crack.
(And I think in normal conditions she wouldn't demand anyone to be 100% devoted to her, but these aren't normal conditions and now that the deadline is approaching, as of this last chapter she has basically lost all her faith in surviving).
So yeah, I still wanna hug her, bc she's just tired of all this game thing, in a perfect world she'd have time to calm down and accept Callisto, but currently girl thinks she's about to be murdered ; - ;
If the series feels too dragged out, just stop following the updates and wait until it ends
I thought it was common knowledge that it feels worse when you have to wait weeks for a story that you're not even enjoying that much
╮(￣▽￣)╭
Lolololol that's literally me right now I first started reading this in high school and after awhile took a break to read the book and let the updates stack since they were taking forever. I low-key forgot about it, but when I finally came to check back everybody in the comments was talking about how the plot was falling apart and I decided to just wait and haven't been back till just now. Lol I just came to finally do a check up and it looks like imma have to take another hiatus. It's been years, but that's cool I can wait a couple more.
Abel is so fine
I have a thing for all silver/white haired characters ever since Zero from vampire knight (that manga got weirder with time)
I love that show vampire knight I even got the book but I found more stories of vampire knight on here
Meh
He can't let Diana go yet, to be honest I think the prince still has feelings for her
To be honest I think only when they hit rock bottom he'll realize how Diana is still thinking of Kael
I love her so much
She even thinks she's being evil, looking all ominous, but she literally just gave that guy a dream and he decided on his own what to do
Yup, very villainous of you, to take that dude away from a toxic environment and help him to cope in a healthy way
My favorite case of unreliable narrator is the ones who don't realize they're actually more wholesome than they realize lol
Right? She may be cruel, but she's just serving true justice while helping those who help her
Absolutely love it, return hate ten fold and love two fold, seems less but still there nonetheless!
I cackle every time I see horses in these colonial isekai manhwas
The story is fun and the revenge plot is always satisfying
But some of the artists really can't draw horses, which of course, they're pretty hard to get done right and I get that they don't wanna spend too much time on panels that are a bunch of soldiers going to battle, and don't have the mc or any other character really important
But it's still pretty hilarious seeing these 3d wooden worses blurred as much as possible while still looking like 3d horses LOOL
