nothing gna make me feel bad for suah, he's right you DID this to him
i don't like soft uwu pushover mcs, i hope the mc stays as cold and emotionless as he is as a constant reminder to the ml or at least maintains some level of personality beyond being a victim
why do i subject myself to this? i always feel empty and shitty when I'm done, gained absolutely nothing
ok i actually hate the dynamic between him and su ah, because su ah's been scenting him his whole life he's dependant on him and doesn't really have a choice but to call him, not because he actually wants to rely on him. i really hope they don't get together
ok lowk i like the mafia boss better suah is kind of annoying
i don't know how to explain this but hyeonjae irritates me in a way like no other, just everything about him, his appearance, the way he cries like a bitch over anything, the way he can't read the room, insisting on living with the mc n stuff, not listening to the mc during snusnu despite claiming to like him. whining abt how "waah i want to join in too!! stop leaving me out" like a little entitled brat, he just seems really selfish, at least jingi doesn't gaf and mc can be transactional with him but with hyeonjae it's like being followed around by an annoying little kid that only cares about self satisfaction and cries when he doesn't get his way
eghh .... i don't mind yandere ml settings but i do find it really annoying when the mc is totally ok and just goes along with it/let's the ml get away with his behavior, i guess there's not much he can do in this situation but even a little resistance would be nice.
I'm crying bro everyone freaked up cuza this butler
that skinny little bitchy twink rion pisses me off he does shitty things to the mc and then cries and whines like a bitch and just gets forgiven for it.
it was a challenge to overcome the second hand embarrassment but i pulled through
piece of shit dead beat father who lets an abusive maniac reign over his son's life pissed me off so bad i dropped it
tbh it bothers me how subservient ian is the entire story. sure he doesn't "pledge allegiance" but he supports and allows himself to be used as political leverage by the crown Prince, it's annoying. it pisses me off the way he bows his head to everyone for no reason, especially the way the empire basically conscripts him the moment he turns twelve. you're a powerful magician fucking act like it. the crown prince also attacks ian when he goes against him like huh??? whyre you acting like he was supposed to be in your side? i wish the prince actually made a political effort to persuade ian to align with him instead of just expecting it after maintaining a lukewarm relationship for a bit
also why doesn't he act faster? bro waited until his family was being threatened a second time to do something. also his mom is a poorly written nuisance character who's only there to be his Achilles heel, she doesn't have any scenes or impact on the story other than that, making me have no attachment to her at all as a character, so everytime shes in danger i get a sense of annoyance rather than urgency. same deal with the annoying romance plot that came out of nowhere and had no chemistry, in order for me to gaf abt the relationship between the princess and ian, i have to first gaf abt the princess. and i don't. she hardly had any scenes either and just randomly gets a crush on ian, before randomly pulling a magic dragon book out of her ass that solves all his issues. "surprise! the barely foreshadowed fact that you're actually the son of the golden dragon here's a bunch of power now go defeat the evil villain!" straight up deus ex machina.
Aside from that, the story was generally a bit boring to read, and not even that satisfying for a revenge story.
ah, the hardship of being a girl who likes reading shounen-action genres. also to everyone commenting can we stop calling this depiction of women "fanservice" and just admit that it's extremely degrading and misogynistic? thanks.
seeing kangs old and new body side by side again reminded me of how upset i was they turned him into a girlie twink... sigh an angel lost it's wings
i actually love the mc he's so entertaining and his personality is kind of refreshing to read about, plus him getting his salad tossed with that face and personality is weirdly hot.
