jfc are we seriously censoring the word "murder" now??
Seems there was a toxic three-way relationship between mc, dead wife, and bro-in-law... Art's also really good. I'm invested in seeing where this train wreck goes.
i looked at a bit of spoilers (well, the reviews of the japanese novel rental site) and
mc ends up with both princes??
Wait what?
What about the white twin?
it seems he has a romance with someone else
Yeah, it's 3P
Omg. I kinda like that
same! The other 3p mangas I've read have just been plotless, smutty short stories, so I'm looking forward to this one cuz it looks like it'll have a good amount of worldbuilding/plot, angst, and messy love drama shit
Yes! Exactly! I need a well-constructed 3P story with character relationship development and that isn't solely focused on smut! I yearn for personal and romantic growth! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I love the rendition of the historical clothing. So beautiful and detailed. But anyway, story-wise, I don't think the epilogue was needed. I lowkey loved the ml for his obsession and insanity and tragic backstory. No notes on him. I also don't have much to say abt the "redemption arc" since this story isn't abt groveling or making up for the wrongs ml committed, but I think the ending is kinda rushed. Even though a lot of time passed, I felt mc's attitude towards ml was too different, and trauma doesn't fade that easily. He even said himself that he didn't give a shit about what happened in the past. He was so resentful towards ml that he stabbed himself to spite him (and perhaps he also really tried to kill himself to get away from ml). Resentment like that doesn't simmer down that easily just bc of guilt and compassion. Such conflicting emotions coexisting are difficult to dissect and resolve, and I don't think the story was as introspective about the complexity of his feelings towards ml as it should've been. It was basically nightmares, guilt, hallucinations, nothing really abt how ml abused him... eventually he got over it, and when he meets ml again, it's like he's a whole new slate for a new beginning with ml. If it was more ambiguous with the ending, like mc's heart is conflicted but leaning towards forgiving him in the distant future, rather than a 90% reconciliation, I'd like it more
woah i read the novel, didn't expect it to get adapted. anyway ml is a psychopath who doesn't know what love is, dont expect him to be green flag, ur gonna hate him, and that's intentional. she's a spy bc she caught the eye of ml's brother who wanted to send a pretty girl to kill ml, she's kinda attracted to ml bc of his voice but also comes to hate him bc he's insane and rapes her, and she eventually runs away. She's a relatively normal person, cautious, submissive (only bc she's a slave), but also speaks up when necessary, aka "interesting" enough that ml decides not to kill her. havent gotten to the ending yet, but i hear she only forgives him near the end, and doesn't exactly get back together with him, but lets him see her sometimes
can i ask for the novel link?
Can I know what's ML's blonde Brother's ending is like especially the Mistress mother?
spoilers
ml's brother dies at ml's hands in a failed rebellion he planned against him. if by 'mistress mother' you mean ml's brother's mother, ml had killed her before the story starts.
Thanks, I thought she didn't die cause the brother said ML think the Mistress mother died
dogyeong and mc were potential in laws in the past?? dogyeong's older sis and mc's older bro were exes?? i feel like they should've introduced this connection way earlier cuz it seems they genuinely didnt know each other when dogyeong, his sister, and mc first met in the story??
when they first met, the sister haven't date the big brother, that's probably why dogyeong and the sister genuinely feel like they didn't know seohan, it was briefly mentioned at chapter 33, mc said that doyeon haven't meet the big bro yet and at ch 85 they probably alr dated for some time
ur prob right, but i feel that the mc shouldve introduced dogyeong's sister when she first appeared to us as "future brother's gf" bc mc likely only knew her as such in his past life; he likely didn't have much interaction with her outside of her being his bro's gf, so this link should've been relevant to note, before her profession. it wouldnt have felt it came out of nowhere. it's also odd that mc meeting her and kinda blackmailing her brother doesnt have any ripple effects on her smoothly getting into a relationship with his bro later on.
imma be honest. at some point i was reading solely for minhyuk. he's the type of character im looking for in a mafia bl-- an unapologetically selfish person. on the other hand, mc and taesung's dynamic is boring and uninteresting. given the black and white color palette and the cover art, i was expecting messy, angsty drama between flawed characters (the 3 in the cover) in a gritty mafia backdrop, but unfortunately it's rather boring and tame; mc is boring "feisty" mc who keeps getting himself in trouble, ml is possessive and dull, and minhyuk is barely relevant to these people. i dont see why mc fell for ml and vice versa. and when he was masturbating to ml after he lost his memories of him, yk after he had CONFINED and RAPED him, that was my sign to drop this. it seems this story thinks that ml regretting his actions and saving him at the last second is enough to redeem him. if mc was a woman, the reception towards the two would be vastly different.
The 2nd ML raped him too
i know that. i dropped the story so idk if it addressed that later on, but i imagine if mc realized he was raped by minhyuk, he would easily drop him as a friend. but for ml? forgiven eventually, just bc he's the ml. my issue is that even after developing amnesia mc still retained some feelings for him for some reason (not fear or resentment), and that annoys me and makes me like minhyuk better + the fact that he's unrepentantly immoral and self-centered and adds interesting drama, unlike ml. i can tolerate a boring ml, but in a mafia story? ummm i prefer the psychotic madman instead
also i dont mean i want mc to end up with minhyuk or anything, i just like his character much more than ml
OMG thank you for the uploads! ive been meaning to read the novel ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
love this but what the fuck was ch 125? Did they really shorten what im assuming to be a 5-10 chapter arc into 1 chapter
like i dont mind the possible 3P but the story shouldve mentioned that in the summary so people who dont like 3P could avoid it, especially when the story established a really cute and sweet healthy relationship between mc and the first blond twin with almost no cracks except for mc's deeply rooted insecurities, so the plot twist abt the existence of the second twin and mc's wavering feelings, when he's genuinely in love with the first twin, makes him look really scummy.
