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.
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
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￣）
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.
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.
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.
What kind of an idiocy is this? People disrespecting royalties, having their ways and deciding over them? Like the f? I managed to read up until 21 but got seriously confused of how shameless those aristocrats are? Deciding over who should be queen as if they're the ML's parents. The logic is not even logic anymore. They kept on pushing Hina to be a consort despite them explaining that FL and ML are going to remarry anyways. She conspired with Vili, which means a suspected convict known by everyone. What's the use of public proposal if that's still going to happen to them?
TRASH.
I get that he tried to rein it in for years until he's older, but to show him fantasizing on a kid while having sex? Dude, this author's weird.
I'm trying to understand the current time plot, at least it's all consensual. But the backstory is really, really, really, absurd and weird. The author could've made it a fleeting romantic interest or the seme having late realizations or whatsoever. But to fantasize over a kid?! That gave me an ick.
First of all, she's definitely not discreet. She's overly proud to even hide her hair. If not covered, easily seen. Seriously.
Second is that I love the art. Yes.
Third is that the way I feel about the revenge is frustrating. How can she seemed to make a good move, then suddenly reversed at some point? The satisfaction of the reaction from his uncle's family isn't even enough. They reacted a bit, then plotted another. I know, it's natural. It needs a lot of drama, but at least make them look horrified a bit more, grr.
And please, I need consistency with their names. Especially the FL..
This is a good story, yes. I like the sleep dilemma and all. But maybe because it's a new story, I kind of gotten sick of how beautiful yet annoying, the antagonists are.
I WANT ALL THE DETAILS NOW. ABOUT THE KING, THE PRINCE AND HIS CROWN PRINCESS. AND THE ADOPTED FATHER OF THE ML.
Like seriously, FL and his father are like gender bent versions of each other. Use your eyes, people inside the story.
I love it. Gen seemed to be a tsundere at first, but no, he's pretty much open and vocal. They're so cute! I love a sweet and vocal couple. No unnecessary misunderstanding, although typical. It's just awesome. The storyline is amazing.
I wish the MC still got at least the OG Lewayne's boldness. Not only did she acted completely opposite, but gave away everything right at some point. She could've acted as if she's the same person still, and used it to her advantage. But no, not only did her interest clashed with the original, she really became the opposite.
I hate how easily that Elbas old peeps could've been defeated, if she just used her brain. She can't even stand up to herself. She was undermined of her position, just because she was younger. She got the title, why the heck does she need to apologize for being right? Just for some damn lilies. I like the story, yes. The ML is adorable, and so are the cats. She's also relatable. But she's weak, despite claiming having the villainess' body. Everyone just looked down on her despite being such a btch of a person prior to MC's transmigration.
I'm tad bit annoyed. Seriously. Give me some spice, MC. Come on
They don't deserve each other. I hate all of them. MC is such a pushover and cannot stand up for himself. He's easily swayed. He doesn't know what boundaries are and accept any affection targeted towards him. He's so vulnerable, that's why both the MLs can get away having their ways on him.
The ML is a jerk. He's a static character and the art cannot do his tasteless personality, any justice. He's handsome but bland. He remained the same throughout the story. Did not even make my heart flutter for once.
The second ML is also unnecessary. He should've been better off as a friend who had feelings. But no, he's also a jerk who manipulated the MC, just to get him to like him. His reactions toward MC liking another guy is such a red flag. To think they were supposedly "childhood friends". It made me think that they were dating, or friends w benefits, and that MC was cheating, at first. Not until MC cleared out the "misunderstanding" that they were just "childhood friends".
The Melissa girl is the only tolerable character, ngl. She stood up for herself and still helped both of them. The Jaee existence is also felt important but wasn't emphasized enough.
TOO MANY DETAILS THAT COULD'VE MADE THIS BETTER, GRR. Oh well, whatever. I thought this would be good because of the art. Definitely a disappointment.
Read few chapters in and immediately went straight here. I guess I wasn't the only one who found it pretty similar to Grace of God. It felt weird reading a very similar plot that I can barely read it forward.
Don't get me wrong; a plot like this can be repetitive in most isekai manga, but the sequence by the first few chapters are like onpoint that it felt like I was just rereading the other manga. I've read it a couple of times after letting it cook for some time that I already skip some chapters now. So no wonder it felt weird and immediately boring for me.
I'll try reading this again some time in the future.
Everything has a down side to it. As an animal lover, knowing how much pets can love and not being able to communicate and understand them, is already heartbreaking, what more for Dr. Lee? :< He's closing off his ears, hoping it'll less painful to the heart. I'll bawl hearing them whine, what more if I can understand them?
The start was alright. typical storyline but it's alright. But now, the drama is so dragging that it's getting boring and annoying that I skip some chapters. I kind of getting used to Hime's and the Queen's ugliness at this point and getting sick of how easily pushed over the FL is. The disrespect and blatant lies were mixing up and it felt like she's just an ordinary healing lady without power. Even the ML. It's like she's portrayed as a strong woman, but ignoring things are not being strong. Problems piled up and never resolved that I'm getting sick of them having their ways. Like seriously, I need good character development, not another headache.
She can dispel the charm. But she can't defend herself and stayed quiet and passive every time. Felt like she's the FL but a wallflower. The story lacks substance that it felt static throughout the chapters. Everything and everyone is irrational. She's not even smart to handle things on her own, or even come up with a plan or solution. Sending her back? Making her marry? Seriously? Is that supposed to be a damn punishment? The lady insulted a damn royal consort, calling her fake and all. But all they gonna do is hear and do some stupid punishment. Both MCs lack authority and power.
It just stressed me out that they're letting the Queen and Hime play them through like some dang toy pieces.
