that other guy who Sarang kissed, the one with the orange hair, looks so much like Adrien Agreste from Miraculous Ladybug. I can't hate him because of it ugh.
Well, i can't hate him anyway cause he's definitely exhibiting signs of being bullied too. Even if he agrees with their games, it's obvious he doesn't like doing this shit and he's only doing it because he wants the others to not leave him alone. Like he said, it's more 'embarrassing' to have no friends than do the embarrassment game.
And one more thing: that other girl, the one who's always smiling?? What's her deal??? I feel like she's acting obtuse on purpose. Why the heck would she tell Subin to eat her hair, and also to pay back the money?? She obviously can do the punishment so why in the world would she try to reject it anyway? Is she against Subin or something???
Am I going insane or this went different from the novel?? I remember reading spoilers where they said the Leopold families won't ever accept Karina even after witnessing her slowly die, but reading ch99 just made me think that these guys are actually atoning? I mean they're not living their lives. AND they deserve something to compensate for Karina's decades of suffering, but they actually look like they care for Karina here? I know Nocturn died (good riddance) but I feel like something made the author change the family's plot or something
Or maybe I'm talking about another manhwa. Idk anymore
No, the title says it all- Karina's last days
Yeah I know. I can read the title. im asking if the novel's spoilers about the family's consequence was changed in the manhwa, cause i saw a spoiler from the novel that said the father will stay delusional about Karina not being in pain. but in the manhwa he's respecting her wishes like a proper father would
i love asagiri too dont get me wrong but it's pretty obvious the divorce of his parents is quite recent. him falling back in love with diving again is a great start for him, but him actually being with mori is a bit too much in such a short amount of time.
THEY'RE MY SHIP YES and hes so cute fawning over her, but even i can understand that asagiri needs a bit more closure from his family issues before he gets a gf lol
LUCAS IS THE ML HERE. THE MOST INTERESTING GUY *****FINALLY**** BECOMES THE ML OH i have lived through all the rofans and survived the dark hair red eyes, or blond and blue eyes apocalypse. sometimes we occasionally get white hair and purple eyed wizard ml's but now we have an ML who is actually DARK BLUE HAIR AND BLUE EYES WITH FUNNY BANTERS WITH FL OH IM SO HAPPY LUCAS I LOVE U
sure she has those intrusive thoughts of killing her cmates lmao but the fact that her first thought when siyun was being super obsessive was that he "didnt think he was worthy enough to be loved so he resorts to extreme methods like this" is just so respectable.
if that were me bruh id be so scared shitless. or so tired, ill just run away (maybe thats why i got no siyun to begin with )
god i want to hate juhyeon so badly but she's SOO INLOVE WITH JEONGMIN IT'S INSANE. theyre my doomed toxic yuri i love siyun too, in fact I am extremely in love with him and his insanity but goddamn this author is just amazing at writing how these guys turned out this way
im on the next chapters rn and goddamnit i feel like i fell even more in love with juhyeon so badly i hope more siyun scenes would help me like him and jeongmin more cause atm, it feels pretty unsatisfying that he's only one-sidedly insane for her. At least with juhyeon, jeongmin hates her a lot and she suffers because of it (i like that so much dont get it wrong lmao) while siyun is all give, give, give, and jeongmin is all worried for him and whatnot, but it doesnt feel enough to be satisfying just yet??? does that make sense??
anyway, im all aboard the juhyeon x jeongmin rn. SIYUN, GIVE IT YOUR ALL. (jaehyeok, whatever your name is, fuck you lmao)
just read ch60. i am in love with jeongmin x siyun now. i still love juhyeon x jeongmin BUT WOWWW THIS IS WHAT I WANTED. BOTH MCS BEING TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER FUCK YES
Nahh don't hate juhyeon!!!!
I actually ALSO got spoiled before I finished reading the story, and tbh, I was a bit disappointed about it. I didn't even wanna continue anymore cause the ending just sounded so stupid, but I decided to power through anyway since I was enjoying the plot.
And let me just say: I'm glad I did. Cause honestly?? People who spoiled shit, made jokes about it without tagging it as spoilers, don't give out any context whatsoever, because the ending actually, PERFECTLY fits the storyline as if it's been building up on that for years now. If you're just reading the story, it's gonna be such a satisfying yet bittersweet experience to read through all that, so don't get discouraged by the spoilers!! Enjoy this webtoon! It's fucking amazing!! Some parts are unnecessary (probably because the author couldn't fit that one storyline with the adults company somehow) but the interesting characters all make up for it, so I can't say I'm disappointed.
///
SPOILERS TERRITORY NOW!!! This will be long since I love Donald and Gray so much.
///
Donald getting hit by a truck at the end actually fits his character, and no, it doesn't feel like a boring way to end someone as amazing as him. Jake Ji literally says that Donald is fucking tired of it all, that he's waiting for someone to stop him from spiraling even more, because he already went out of control. He just needed ONE person to stop him, and then he found that in Gray, the only one who can stand beside him in intelligence and cunning.
FUCK i still cry when I remember that scene but Donald finally comforting his child-self who never had time to grieve, who never had time to actually be a child and CRY, is so hard hitting. Because he was able to have that moment due to Gray's interference. And you know what happens in real life when someone finally acknowledges what they've been running away for so long?? They break down.
It would be so easy for Donald to just cry and move on finally from everything that happened, but he dug his grave through fear and violence. And we all saw through Gray's experience what it looks like when someone who wants to live peacefully makes others fear him through violence: some people admire them, while most would develop GRUDGES. Donald has so many enemies that someone already came to beat him up even if he was already down, but of course he got through those obstacles; cause that's the way it had always been in his past and his present. He's a monster who knows how to fight and survive in that kind of violent world.
But you know what's different at the end?? This time, he knows about White Mamba's, Gray's, existence! So when he had his mental breakdown and got hunted immediately during it, he was back to his current self where he cant grieve in peace, and what does he do? He looks for Gray again. Because Gray is the one person who, like I said, interfered with his messy life and gave him a chance to breathe and be human again. He didn't care about anything else around him. He didn't care about the union, the castle he built, the past, he just wanted to "fight" Gray again and be back into that space where he could mourn the death of his mother and the suffering of his child self. He knows Gray understood his silent cry for help, but of course, Donald had dug his grave too deep. In reality, not even Gray would be able to help him. Even if he disbanded the union, made up for the people he terrorized, visited his mom for peace, he would still be hunted down by everyone who knew him because that's how he lived his life: he made people scared. He angered people. He put himself on top of the food chain and now he can't have a moment's peace, even in theory.
That's why it's perfect that Donald didn't care if he was looking desperate, asking for a rematch in the middle of a fucking road. He didn't care if Gray was shouting for him desperately to get out of the way because a car is gonna crash onto him. He didn't care about anything anymore, because at that moment, he just wanted everything to stop, and that's impossible, unless he's actually dead.
And he did.
Gosh I'm tearing up just thinking about how much he suffered. Donald is so fucking strong for enduring everything, and boy do I love him not just because he's a good villain, but because he's literally a product of this capitalistic and violent reality.
The author also gave us the worst fucking 'what-if' of all time: What if Donald had met Gray first before he became like that?? Even Donald admitted he would have been good friends with him. In fact, both him, Gray, AND Stephen would have been great friends if they had met sooner. Stephen was the type of guy who helped out the poor and tried to ease the suffering of other people, so if he met Donald, he would have found a way to give him a place immediately, whether it's through donations or just policies he'll win in competitions. And Gray? He's the ride or die friend who didn't care about people's authorities or titles. He wouldn't care about Donald's Special Aid title because he's poor, he wouldn't care about Donald's appearance either. If Donald is just decent to him, and is actually making an effort to live his life, Gray would vouch for him wherever he goes. PLUS THEY BOND OVER THEIR INTELLIGENCE AND SMARTS IN MATH AND STRATEGY. IM SO FUCKING PISSED AND SAD AND DEPRESSED THEY DIDN'T MEET EACH OTHER IN THAT FUCKING OLYMPIAN COMPETITION
Fuck Bryce or whatever the fuck his name is. I need him gone and be replaced by Donald instead. FUCK IM GONNA WRITE A FANFIC WHATEVER THE FUCK CAUSE THE AUTHOR COULD HAVE ENDED IT ALL IN JUST THAT, BUT THEY JUST HADDD TO ADD THAT WHAT IF SCENARIO. THEY JUST HADDD TO ADD THAT FUCKINGG "WHAT IF THEY WERE FRIENDS"
if you got through all that, kudos to you. just know that im crying while typing all of this out, cause fuck this shit fr
I love your inputtttt, you actually helped me understand Donald a bit better, specifically regarding the car scene ALSO I love the one abt how their friendship would be like if they met earlier. Though the thing is, their schools are far from each other but just what ifff ╥﹏╥
I LOVE THIS ENDING SO MUCH. at first i was shipping minwoo with huisu since im used to that type of trope (2nd male leads will always win in reincarnation stories for me) BUT HIM FALLING FOR **SPOILERS ALERT** RINA?? MY GIRL?? FUCK YES.
and you cant make me talk about jihyeon without chaining me down cause AKEJNSNDN SHE AND HUISU HAS SO MUCH CHEMISTRY TOGETHER. i think they're inlove, no im 100% sure they're in love.
im ngl i was so disappointed when the ending arc was about to begin. again, spoilers, but i legit felt like my heart dropped to my stomach in disappointment when huisu gave up in the end, but im so glad the author kept true to their message that miracles exist as long as you have the willpower
got false hope that the ml's gf was in on it too. that would have solved the icky cheating part, plus i wanted that threesome badly bruh but then the author pulled that stupid "oh but we were just fake dating so we could get the girl/guy we wanted" THE FUCK YOU MEAN BY THAT!!! WHEN WAS THAT ESTABLISHED? JUST NOW???? HYEJU'S CRUSH ISNT EVEN THAT GOOD LOOKING OF A CHARACTER. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY SCENES TOGETHER BEFORE THE REVEAL HAPPENED SO WHEN THE FUCK DID THIS ALL START
this would have been peak 100% if hyeju wanted the fmc too that's why she keeps barging in during their sex AND also getting turned on when she kisses the ML in the pool while she knows the fmc is right there too.
10/10 for the sex scenes, 0/10 for the stupid ass plot
