Hmmm don't really like how liette and Noah's story got concluded, yeah she loves him and all, but she is still very much an abuser. He was ready to move on and create some space between them so both of them could heal, but nooooo, that freak blonde just had to be all " But you are familyyyyy, and I loooveee to fetishize youuuu pleaseeee!!!" Feels scummy and gross IDK. There could have been a real story about abuse and how family bounds you create around you are stronger than blood, but no, we have to keep the buff crazy woman because she is hot. Noah and Liette's story could've been a cool parallel to ou main brothr's story, it's a real bummer that it eneded the way it did.
the thing about that particular part of the story is that it ended up exactly how you described in the novel. i’m not sure why they changed it in the manhwa, but noah is way more defiant than they give him credit for.
novel excerpt below!
- Neither noonim nor I care about that. Of course I don't like noonim. I hate you. I wanted to kill you. But that doesn't matter now. I'm not saying I forgive you. Because we wouldn't give or accept forgiveness, anyway.
- Of course. I don't think I was wrong.
As if he knew she'd say that, Noah smiled. It was a light smile, as though nothing was wrong.
- Then why would you miss this chance? It'll be hard to do this twice.
- I don't have to keep on hating noonim.
It doesn't matter. There's no need to do that. Noah, as if completely brushing off old things, said.
- I am loved enough. And that, is much better. At the times when I hate noonim, in the space in my heart that holds my hatred and loathing, I'll put thoughts that warm me instead. I will live without caring about noonim.
Read until chap 52, ML is still pissing me off, does it ever get better?
Well, he clearly respects J, however he does not respect the person behind the hero. Mc is uncomfortable with everything going on, I suppose this is going to be a romance where they keep bickering from time to time. But in my opinion ML is too immature to even understand how his actions impact those around him.
I view the MC as a metaphor for ptsd and the depression that results from that trauma. The MC is J, and J is the MC. ML and MC are both searching for J throughout the series. ML is obsessive about it, sure, but he sees and loves J with and without the mask more than anyone. So much so that he will do whatever it takes to see him whole for once. I hope that you continue to give him a chance!
I'm still reading this, bit the ML really lost it for me when they cut his apology out of the Manga. In the novel, after the dungeon where Seo reveals his identity, Kwon appologises for everything he's done and said that have upset Seo (and me as a reader). It's the start of visible character development for him. I'm really disappointed they cut it from the Manga bc it leaves him feeling immature matched with Seo's over-maturity.
I like the story, I'm not a big fan of the romance though, it kinda reminds me of Dandandan's romance, so eh...
Nah man, he is a wimp and a loser and she is a badass with a more nonchalant attitude. Like I said, if you ever read Dandandan, it's kinda like that, however it reminds me of the cringier parts of the romance IMO. There was a potential for subtle bl, especially bcs there are a lot of cool tropes in here, like enemies to lovers or power imbalance, that could lead to some juicy boy's love, but the author chose to have a safer straight power fantasy romance so wtv.
The author of Eleceed did the biggest queerbait ever. They made Kayden and Kartein so close, coparents, the way Kayden came to save Kartein, the way Kayden only had Kartein's number saved. Smh if they were going for straight romance they should've done so from the beginning by giving Gestella Kartein's role. BUT NO they absolutely HAD to queerbait us. Sorry for the random rant this topic just always makes me rage
what am I reading here ?!?! Havent read eleceed in ages but wtf. Now Kayden has a love interest? I knew that jinwoo would eventually end up with that older girl but why force kayden into a relationship? there was literally no need/demand for that- low key turns me off from picking that webtoon up again any time soon
Ikr :( I put it on hold after chapter 300. They forced Kayden with Gestella. It's like her character was created only to be Kayden's love interest. Her own backstory? None. Atleast Jiwoo and the noona's (forgot her name) looks good. But Kayden's is just forced heteronormality. Kayden and Kartein have the best chemistry smh
It's so weird, whenever we get one of these stories about a woman breaking free from the normal royal drama and cementing herself as a badass, claiming to forge a new path for her own happiness, they are always forced into some kind of romantic plot, as if a woman couldn't be happy alone. The ml is just annoying, he is useless most of the time. Yes he is a person of high influence, but he is very much a non character, he is not developed in most ways, Scarlet even tells him to wake up be be fr, but he is stationary, never revealing his true feelings even though she said to his face how that would ruin their relationship.
I believe even stories like this, ones that break the formula, are still long ways from truly breaking free from the patriarchal views imposed by society, it's nice to have it be here, and be a story about a badass woman, but it is unfortunate that it still shies away from granting Scarlet true freedom and agency.
If you truly look upon the story itself you start to question, why can't other woman be o relevancy other than her and the reincarnated girl, why couldn't one of the women from the dragon kingdom be part of the main team, none of them were bound to the land like Rex. Why is it only boys by Scarlet's side? Why are all figures of power men?










Gio is a better person than me cus I would have 100% called Honey something like Pissbird or something
