Love the progression. The first part felt like Lakrak is the MC of Nebula's world. It quite saddening that he has to die in order for the story to actually progress. It felt like we're seeing a story written in a different POV than the author. The story is interesting and itches the mind, seriously. Nebula seemed to be a god in this story but to me, he is logical and fascinating. He still feels humane at some point?
Nevertheless, he's a great character. Additionally tho, I kind of guessed that the old gods are the glitchy-named gods that appeared out of nowhere, not in the list of players. It's already implied by the first evil god that it was their responsibility and considered Nebula and the others as outsiders and disturbances.
Never read the novel, but I do hope I kind of understand how they become evil gods and why they were introduced as the gods that willingly gave chances for the players to become gods as well. Why are the system and the old gods contradict with each other? Is it trickery or what?
(⊙…⊙ ) Imma just wait. The plot is good, my braincells are braining. JK.
I don't like the chapter with the tutor. She literally came off that situation unscratched and less punished. In no way does physical punishment nor inflictions a way for educating anyone. I stopped reading immediately.
Yes, Nema is apparently trying to overcome her (?) or whatever, but as a parent, how can you let someone who repeatedly harmed your daughter and what? Scolded the lady and let her teach again. That's unrealistically "understanding" of their side, giving second chances on someone who one-sidedly inflicted pain on their daughter. Everything was wrong in that chapter. Nema's mature reaction for a 4-year-old (not suspicious for the readers, but should be for her family), her parents leniency over a clear malpractice, and the tutor's way of educating a preschooler.
Wdym the mother asked her 4-year-old daughter that couldn't even speak clearly, about how she'll "win over" the tutor? Screw that perfect lady. Someone would be way better than her. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
+ felt like a delayed speech development to me. It ain't normal for a preschooler beyond 3 years old to still find it difficult to pronounce certain letters. I say normal because it is on the level of uncommon that people obtain speech impediments such as articulation disorders or of sort at such young age.
Oh, I wrote that wrong, lol. What I mean is that she should at least be able to talk more efficiently and clear. She also talk to people, so what's hindering the development? That way of talking ain't cute for a 27 years old. She should know better, as she's literally an adult, reincarnated.
Ignore this one. Too technical and deeply analyzed, lol. This is somewhat real, but as I misclicked the post button, I realized that it's an unnecessary comment. This happens when you comment half-asleep. (￣ε(#￣)Σ
Just FYI, this is absolutely not true. Children are still learning to clearly enunciate various sounds well past the age of 3, regardless of intelligence, particularly certain consonants like [r] and [z]. [s] is also often difficult for small children, hence so many kids having lisps, and so many elementary schools providing speech therapy programs.
I think you read and understood my statements wrong because tbf I wrote it wrong. There are indeed situations like that, but what I stated was based on theorized speech development. Those were subjective and studied on any medical field, focusing on OB or Pedia. It wasn't wrong, just not accurate. Lisp is just one of many conditions in speech impediments of pedias. I already retracted the statement because of how I stated it. It's a general theorized "age" of speech development. It's not supposed to be specific but general—there always gonna be a bracket age, also.
I do understand the confusion and seemed like it's a misinformation, but no. It's just a generalized age mentioned in few to many speech or developmental theories.
I was also confused constructing the statement, so I def do not blame you if it came out negatively. But please ignore the additional. It was somewhat real but it's just a common theory used in my medical field. Times change and people adapt to new knowledge. It was a half-assed comment but I can't delete it Σ( ￣□￣||)
Last take: I HAD TO GO BACK BECAUSE I, MYSELF, GOT CONFUSED W WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY, LOL. First of all, I used terms incorrectly. It wasn't a speech delay, she was intelligent due to her past. Secondly, the general "average" age I mentioned was based on stock knowledge that is very unreliable, knowing my memorization skill sucks. Thirdly, yes, the age varies and theories are common standards and I just went objective. Fourth, I forgot my initial point at this moment in time, LOL, so I did read and research materials AGAIN. Lastly, I do understand the issue still, but I want to clarify that lisps is a speech error (I had to reread terms I forgot and confused with) and not definite on every child, temporary but can linger if not corrected at early age.
In conclusion, that additional was still unnecessary and wrong at some points. She's still understandable by age of three (common and not a delay). I don't know why I even started that comment because it's not applicable with how mature she already is.
This is why I also hate my yapping mindset. I just babble and talk nonsense. My bad to the one who replied, tho hehe. Knew I'll get called out for it, I appreciate it a lot. I just hate that I had to comment again to correct my past self.
Short but direct. I love how Taeyang did not give up on him in the end. But I just wanna emphasize how difficult it was for Jihwan. Yes, it was a bad move to run away and left a bad taste to some. However, I do understand why he did that. People have different defense mechanisms towards stress, pain, embarrassment or whatsoever. Jihwan had the habit of avoiding confrontations, in literal or abstract. He would always cry silently, and/or walk away. Did it twice with his parents and with Taeyang.
He then realized he can't do it anymore, especially with his son. Again with a hint of trauma, prolly recalled how much impact his father caused him. He wanted to differ. In addition to that, he wanted to have someone to call a family or to love someone whereas he doesn't need to run away.
When he experienced genuine love from Taeyang, Jihwan began questioning his worth and by the time he decided to face it, you can see that he was silently asking for assurance from Taeyang.
As someone who got this defense mechanism to stress, it made me happy that Jihwan was able to overcome his trauma. Mine's not as severe as I'm not traumatized. The hints of his father's influence diminished and disappeared as the story progressed. The story gradually became light and fluffy. Yes, the flashback was definitely heavy and gave me anxiety.
People really should talk more about psychological aspects of stories like this. It's sad yet fascinating in a learning basis.
People need to distinguish "grooming" to actual romance buildup. Harvey is falling in love with her, why? Nielis would also like to ask that question, certainly, because she seemed oblivious to that. She did not groom her or anything, for goodness' sake. That trope that everyone is so keen on emphasizing is not even as typical for it to happen in this story. She's not even acknowledging him as anything aside from being a "palladin" or someone she hurt or killed her. She also definitely did not adopt her nor shown him enough care to make him fall for her. I personally saw Harvey as a typical lackey butler for a witch.
The boy fell in love on his own—at least give him credit for that. Know the difference before bickering or complaining. Reading the story, it's not even heavily focusing on Harvey and Nielis' romance. The plot is interesting on its own.
Again, grooming and other unbelievably common used terms nowadays, should be use correctly and appropriately. It's not Nielis' fault that she agreed to have him tag along. They never established any relationship close to being a family or sorts. It's their excuse to not come off as weird and to protect Nielis from being found out.
PEOPLE, STOP USING WORDS THAT YOU DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND. Do not ignore Harvey's feelings just because y'all are conditioned into thinking that he's always a kid. （￣へ￣）
Readers: Oh it's an immortal lady and a kid. IT'S THAT TROPE AGAIN. THIS IS GROOMING.
For goodness' sake. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ how uneducated are y'all not to know what grooming is? did she lead him? the boy is growing up. Let him grow up!
*lead him on?
Fr.
she raised him bro stop defending ts
He technically raised his own self. There's no way you read that and thought she actually raised a child? That's hardly raising someone. That's just the tad bit remaining ounce of humanity she left.
She saw him grow up, and she will see him grow old and die. The point ain't about raising who or not. It's the misuse of grooming. There is no point in the story suggested grooming. Study the term and use it appropriately. That's the issue.
Agree. It is 100% safe content and in no way grooming if the child in question isn't being physically, verbally, or emotionally abused. She very literally saved him from abusers?? She also derives zero sexual gratification from their relationship and neither acknowledges nor humors his romantic interest. The kid has a crush on her of his own free will and people are using buzzwords to shit on her as though younger boys don't develop innocent crushes on older women all the time in the world. People finna watch Gachiakuta with a straight face while calling this story grooming. Media literacy is dead.
Seriously damn ahh readers who always mistaken grooming (real) with kid having a crush on an adult. Like bruh, imagine your teacher just doing their job and you have a crush on them. They did nothing special, treat every kid the same way, maybe gave some advice when you had a hard time and all up to code. You can't call that grooming, much like how you can't call any age gap grooming. It's all about context you nimrods.
Yeah though I do understand why people would be uncomfortable
I wouldn’t be comfortable reading about an adult knowing a kid then later on the line dating them.
This is the last reply, LOL. I do understand but I think people also got customed into thinking this way because of actual issues irl.
However, reading needs comprehensive aspect, thus deeper understanding gives off a sense of connection with the text, itself, and not just the characters. The plot is interesting, as a whole. The attraction is expected for a young kid. Just like others said, innocent crushes exist even irl. The kid is maturing and exploring his feelings, let him. It's time for people to proprely critique stories as intended.
I would also find it off if the author depicted a motherly bond between them, but it's not. They're just complaining because it "looked" off.
There's a nice plot in this, regardless of their complaints. It would be nice if they also notice that, LOL.
Additional.
They felt off with this because irl grooming issues. That's understandable, really. But I would stand my ground on educating them. Grooming is not a word that should be used, passively. The connection between the two characters are not considered grooming and they should know that. They can be uncomfortable with it, but they shouldn't make it the focus of the story nor deemed it as grooming.
That's the reason why I commented and explained my point.
Oh sorry—you didn’t need to further explain.
I was just saying it makes sense they wouldn’t want to read it based on what’s being said.
I don’t really think you need comprehension to read something. Some people just like to turn their brains when reading. As long as they are having fun I don’t mind—mostly.
I do know though there isn’t anything wrong with a kid having a crush on an adult, but my point was pretty much just that “adults knowing a kid and then dating them as an adult” kind of thing. That’s really all. Like the trope in general.
I don’t really have an opinion on this particular comic since I’ve never read it. I was just sharing my outside perspective. /lh
No, no. I understand your point. I'm not mad or anything. It's just how I type—monotonous.
But fr tho, I need to stop replying to this thread LOL
Oh alright, thanks for clarifying! Btw if you enjoy it just wanted to say this one last thing. You seem to like stuff that makes you think. I recommend Alien Stage if you’ve never seen it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PYwknYstNdlNYdLbnT89DhwC_vkXyVMDeqNB6o_RX2g/edit?usp=drivesdk VIVINOS also has other videos as well. Oh also Milgram as well.
Also. I think you can block a thread from what I remember.
Geonwoo spitting facts. He really is being selfish. He already admitted that he never once thought of Seojoon as anyone to date. I really would hate it if he "realized" immediately that he liked him all along. Might as well be realistic with the fact that he admitted of not once seeing him as a romantic interest. Atp, I would like for him to finally yet slowly getting to see Seojoon as a love interest. I don't care if we get another story; I want them to have the plot and proper love progress like the main couple.
It doesn't have to be romantic all of a sudden. I NEED A PROPER ROMANTIC PROGRESS OF A SUDDEN SHIFT OF RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS! I want him to properly fall in love w Seojoon, as he should and as Seojoon deserves!
I like how unbothered yet concerned the empress is. She gives off a dignified and caring persona, fitting as a justified female lead. She's not perfect, as she's also portrayed with flaws and weaknesses—still, she undoubtedly shines.
I hate the emperor—might be because of the gradual effect of dark magic alongside his insecurities. He already shown a red flag after Daphne got a miscarriage. The recent chapter with his mother hinted his inferiority complex, I could say he was actually lowkey letting his insecurities eat him slowly since that day. You really wouldn't seek a prostitute for the mere reason that your wife cannot handle another pregnancy. To think you were a lovely couple shows how shallow it was.
It made me realize how the emperor wanted to be someone he cannot. To prove himself to his dead father and brother. He thought that having a wife who cannot bear a child or heir, will hit him in a different way. In conclusion, he's fighting with himself, digging his own grave and having exploited by Leo and Rosetta. A stupid man's weakness will always be his ego.
Mephis was right all along with that painting.
I cannot wait for how things will progress with him and Daphne ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
PS. As much as I'm trying to understand that he's mentally unstable, he did create opportunities for Rosetta to actually damage his mental stability. He engaged into promiscuity. Jerk.
I like the story because they're cute but some parts are confusing as hell. As a matter of fact, I've just read past through them and not minding to not get confused any further, LOL.
We read the same thing but there's no confusing thing for me, maybe you should try reading and not just scroll, it improves reading comprehension
The thing is, there are. Not because they are minor or subtle, don't mean there aren't. "Confusing" is not always about reading comprehension but about cohesion. Maybe you should know how to dissect first before commenting. ╮(￣▽￣)╭ It'll help with attitude.
I literally fumbled with words, but you should still get the gist.
You cannot just keep her there, you know? I wanna see Ravi and Ludville with their sister, as well! Don't hog Camilla to yourselves (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ She be missing her family, too! Dive is a cutie patootie of a brother, but I rather see Ravi and Camilla united, sorry.
That one panel shot of Ravi looking depressed is not good for the heart. He denied fake Lania for the fact that he's committed to be Camilla's only family, so he should do the same! Bro's thinking he got his sister stolen away from him ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
They're both not perfect. Helene's character shows how righteousness does not equate to being right. She unknowingly made a wall that was supposedly protect her place and the duchy. That wall made her seemed stern and upright, causing a strain on her relationships. She thought what she was doing was appropriate for her family's sake.
We've read multiple characters like her. She's guarded for a reason. People who has a lot to lose and afraid to lose something precious will trade even their whole being just to protect.
But that's not the case for MC. Like an opposite, having no status to uphold and always thinking outside the box, she managed to create opportunities for herself. She's also loved by servants and children. The exact opposite of Helene—that's why she's projecting. (Hints given with her pointing out some stuff, unknowingly comparing herself to MC) How can someone that's supposed to be just useful to ward off the emperor, can cause this much upset? Because she can be someone Helene cannot. Moreover, she heard her daughter wishing that. Again, it's the MC. The woman she thought that's being reckless and upsetting, is somehow "better" than her.
In conclusion, they're victims of the plot, LOL. They'll obviously come along. It's the vibes even before they met.
I know it's more on Helene than MC, but this is my way of acknowledging her efforts—through criticism, LOL. MC ain't perfect still, but I like how we'll see Helene's development, earlier.
You said it better. "Projecting". Some called that "fighting" but i see no fights. Just 2 female living in the same household with 2 different ways of living and 2 different ways of nature. 1 grew up in a strict and bias environment while the other grew up in a free and equal place.
Don't know why others perceived it as "fighting", tho. The only fight I can only see is Helene versus herself ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Finished 'til the latest chapter. It's dragging. The story has potential. It could've been great, if only the plot actually stops dragging on. The title itself became a goal, despite supposedly being a class of some kind. No interesting details on how amazing he can be with it, just simple description such as "advantageous terrain". It didn't pique my interest at all. He showcased it at the start but what was that sorry of an excuse of a presentation???
At least showcase his intended talent. At this point of the story, I want him to act, even a smidgen of a proper demon king that already surpassed the greater demon kings before him. Come on （￣へ￣）at this pace, it'll not be a surprise if he has to face the white hair stoic human first than accomplish his dungeon. Like a damn finish line.
Don't get me wrong. Like I said, neutral. Those were basically objective. I neither liked nor disliked it. Not sure if I'll have the interest of proceeding if this actually drags on, tho. The progression itself is like a neverending cliffhanger. Hope that it won't turn a complete 180 in the future and suddenly paced through a quick end. Ciao.
