when the story has dragged on for too long the readers already got their degrees, graduated, and even got employed

aweee as someone who's from a tropical country and the youngest sibling out of 5, i kinda relate to lily the most. not wanting to move out of my own country and being left behind by all my older siblings. they now have their own families and i have to move out of my country to get better opportunities. sucks hard but staying seems to suck harder. I often miss how chaotic our house was when we were all still living together. I'm all alone now and i barely talk to my parents. i sincerely wish lily wouldn't have to move out her country and be seperated from her sisters☹

the art doesn't quite convey the horrifying images that the dialogue describes during the territorial war. it lacked impact as we were only shown words with dark backgrounds instead of a visual representation. it was supposed to be an incredibly scary and heavy moment but again, no art about it... just talking. instead of being a very important scene for the mc's development as a character, it fell flat and was anticlimactic. i knew the budget was being cut when i often saw chibi versions of them being drawn lol

im only on chapter 9 but i already feel like dropping this i had high expectations since it got rated a 9.1, everybody's always lying on the ratings. for something that has 100+ chapters, you'd think the pacing was a bit more on the slow side but gahdang. every chapter is so compact and has a lot of information, they introduce something and when you barely understand it, they throw another one at you. it's overwhelming and confusing

wow i finished all of this... in the span of a week... 116 chapters just gone in a blink. this story not only give me a satisfying conclusion of everyone's lives, but also made me question mine. for a story about immortals and gods, it sure talks of mortality and humans frequently— and so vividly at that. i always cried during the most intense moment, or even just an ordinary panel.

the former emperor's fleeting happiness, how he made a hat for their child in case they got cold, and only being able to give it when they've finally grown too big. how he kept the empire's peace for centuries as that was his dear's final wish. and how he kept the moon bright when his son would sneak into the palace library at night.

biseol's desperation and unwavering loyalty, how even after everything, he still chooses to follow yeon and devote his ever eternal life to the person he loves. and how he aches, how heavy the weight of the love he bears. how he was all too willing to live a life as neither human, nor demon, just to protect yeon. i found that to be admirable and a little bit pitiable.

doha's fiery determination in pursuing yeon, even when he didn't know what he felt towards the other. how he gave his everything. when he trekked through that prison, when he himself became imprisoned, when he tried to run away from everything, and when he finally faced all of it fearing that it might've been the last time to do so.

hamil... well i feel bad for him i guess. all kidding aside, he really is the most unfortunate of them all, and the most despicable also. imagine coveting someone so much you'd want to entwine them to all your lifetimes? at first i couldn't really blame him, he was but a child when he made that deal with the demon and he was merely led astray. however at some point, he was making his own decisions well into adulthood, so then it was entirely on him. i think he had a well deserved end. and a very generous beginning.

the head priestess, how i adore her. though her pure and innocent love truly moved me. i have no more words to describe how i feel for her as a character. she truly is admirable.

the rest of the princes' gave me wonderful joy. seeing their contrasting personalities, growth, and different moralities, sure made me ponder.

choran's righteousness and hae-eon's twisted flippancy were polar opposites, yet they still worried for the other in every trial. a-yeon and jeongwon's estrangement left me inconsolable lol. glad they all made up after the trials. the 19th prince i forgot his name but he's also come a really long way.

what use is eternal life? just how short can a human's lifespan be? how excruciating is immortality to those whose love has already ended? and how is an eternity ever enough to devote your love to someone? they all say it is never enough.

everyone was always desperate for something— or rather, someone. the author did well in conveying that all consuming desire. it made me realize that love is a beautiful driving force that helps someone live.

"for an eternity, for a few years, even just for tonight" i find that to be so devastatingly beautiful. a fervent wish. a desire to hold onto something one last time, even just for tonight.

"my yeon"
"my spring"
"my flame"
"my snowflake"
"my love"
"my daughter"
"my god"
"my protege"

yeon, just like the people that you have loved in your story, your kindness has also reached my heart. your flame burns through everything and warms everyone and everything that surrounds it.

yeon, through your survival, you have given me hope. to live despite everything. to love despite the fears of everything. to be human, throughout it all. and especially, to cherish everyone that comes to our lives, may they be passing by, or staying for good.

yeon, i hope the rest of your eternity is filled with nothing but happiness, love, and warmth.

yeon, you have unknowingly, become my savior too.

wow if that isn't the gayest shit ever "MY camilla" she said.... isn't this plotline common among bls where they actually met as children and one person saves the other and they meet again years later lolll

is pissing me tf off. she somehow keeps looking more like a kid rather than a high schooler as the chapters progress. her eyes are getting bigger and her face smaller. it's like 50% eyes and 50% bangs im sooo mad why are they doing that

but the body proportions are just so atrocious, the women in the story look like they all have ed they have big heads and arms as thin as an eyelash are they bugs?

because if i were him, id kms to be completely honest

and i hate it gahdamn why's everyone just forgiving the father like that when he's the catalyst of every horrible thing that happened in his son's life. he got colon cancer, so what? he's dying and that's supposed to justify years of treating his son like shit and even blaming him for his own mother's death. wow what a piece of work this really is. i liked the first few chapters when their relationship was still developing and their characters were being fleshed out, but then the author had to go on countless side quests, turning the whole plot into a jumbled mess of what tries to be some melodrama. and jinu(2nd male lead) should've just stayed as a friend!! he was a really likeable character and here i thought, finally an mc with an actual male friend that doesn't turn into a male lead.... oh i spoke too soon. im so surprised this even made it into the 9 rating. maybe they just read the first part and liked it like me. anyways this has turned into a real mess. dropping it also why does everyone's name starts with a J? jiun, jinu, jiho, junhyeok... im so over it. the mc is actually a fucking pushover!!!! insensitive and stupid also. what gives him the right to tell ml to forgive his dad?????? im so baffled. im speechless. also stupid for not leaving ml sooner lmfao.
