very random, but i think one of the sweetest chani moments is a few chapters back, when the manager is saying something like "i have to be a manager so i dont end up with a job like working as a convenience store" and chani defends convenience store clerks like "what's wrong with that kinda job?" all annoyed :) i think it was the first sign that he likes seokjin
i love the chapter where linus reflects on their previous relationship. his childish desire to control or possess all of peter led to peter losing friends and support. if you isolate your lover from all their friends, then their life becomes just your relationship; a risk to the relationship can become a risk to life.
i still really like this manhwa, but i get a little annoyed with all the mini cliff hangers at the end of each episode. i feel like i didn't get anything; no fluff, no angst, no development throughout the entire chapter, just to end on a forced cliff hanger. i feel like we all have developed enough stockholm syndrome to not need a cliff hanger to come back for more XD
rare to see manga about italians! i'm a little miffed that ch 2 politician faust got a "happy ending" bc he spreads anti-gay politics, has a wife (clearly open relationship) and adult daughter, and sleeps with "younger boys" to the point that 26 was old for him...i feel bad for the photographer, even though it's what he wants.











agh i really hate the trope of MLs who are sweet to the MC but shitty to literally everyone else. especially when they're terrible to their employees, giving them unrealistic demands like build a tower in 2 weeks when you're supposed to be on holiday. it's not funny, just irritating. it doesn't show their devotion or love either, since it's other people's forced labor. isekai manhwa point out abusive, irrational capitalistic bosses in the real world and then make the ML exactly that character, but we're supposed to gush over it bc they're drawn as pretty bois?

Hehe truth. I find myself more lenient/understanding with this character because of the isolation he had as a child; so from what I understand he just doesn’t see anything wrong in the way he says and expects things (he’s strong, so he must think everyone must be at a potent level as his if they’re mages). Of course it’s an annoying personality trait that these male leads love to have, but from all the ones I’ve read with these manners, this ml captures a decent picture of the affects and behavior of someone who has been stripped away from basic socialization they should have had as a child. I’m not sure if there’s a novel for this story, but as long as it keeps updating we can cross our fingers for a better socialized ml as we progress, haha
