At least he has such good people around, that they all told him off for her. But seriously the author is making it seem like he just goes along with everything everyone around him says when it concerns her, and his future life with her; there is no thought process where you actually see that he likes her except the typical "I like her".
honestly i agree i feel like hes just going along with everything everyones saying about her because he has no clue, i wisb the author made it seem more like he actually eants it
I think the author is just wittting from a manual; man conflicted anout living, man calls in love, man learns to love, happy ending. And done in a good way you can say, "oh I like where this is going" (like Northern Blade), but this seems too mechanical, its exactly like steps to take towards something, and too textbook.
I bet its going to be more like; towards the end, when he is fighting he is going to think about what he wants in life, and he is going to see her and their baby, and his friends (more his friends) and he is going to have a NEW impulse to live, and that is why he will survive.
I hope this mf didn't ask her that and its just one of the other guys, because if he did ask, and he where my bf I would be angry.
It's cliche...and it doesn't look like he is really in love with her, so I will wait and see how the author develops this storyline.
I thought the Elf would end up with the Dragon but I guess I was way off.
I went and read ot again because I forgot what it was about abd read the comments, it did disappoint story wise because of too many things but the psychology is great. If the story had been longer we could have seen the psychology fleshed put but it was too in our faces, and fast paced to really understand what the author tried with the psychology of the characters.
The ML is the kind of person (because there are women too) that falls in love fast and loses in love equally as fast. Because he based everything on "fate", in his mind he could ignore the warning signs of his relationships not working because they are ment to be, until, eventually nothing works and he divorced them every time. He is of course going to marry women who are the same way, especially because if someone told you "I just met you, I fell in love at first sight, we are ment to be" you would ignore that, its delusional (and he must have told them his theory and they where ok with it, that's why they married, at the end they believed a part of it), at some point your beliefs are going to come out, and they will either nurture or taint your relationship. So to me both parties rushed, ignored and divorced. And that is also why he cluld marry three times in 10 years since Highschool, his girlfriends believed in fate and didnt see the warning signs of someone unstable in the relationship.
At the end of the day MC also has a unique psychology because he knows that the ML hasn't really repaired his believe system, he is trying something new because the other didnt work and his he is jealous to know his friend could be taken. Even that part is sketchy because the Manga is too short but is he really in love with his friend or is he jealous he is not the only one in his life, and that now he has to "share" him when he didnt believe he had to in his past. And, well, they dont really seem to be too close because he never told him about his boyfriends, even if you are in love with someone if they are your friend of 10 years they usually know you are dating someone. Butt the MC either hid it, or didnt see him during that dating period because he never found out, and it was implied he had more than one boyfriend so what happened there. The author glosses over the fact, of whether they were really close or not. And finally even if you like someone for a long time, they are not obligated to like you back, even if they are bi and like your same gender, even if they are pan, or gay or straight.
I hate the fact that them ML got it into his head that he could like the other gender and bam suddenly he is open to it because he saw someone as attractive, and then bam he has to like the MC now because he is open to it. There are so many things wrong here; if you are straight you dont consider going out with someone of the same gender in a freaking day and if you were bi you know you are bi in high-school (as bi I dont speak for everyone but damn I had crushes in Highschool); and again you dont have to like someone just because they have liked you in the first place, lets say he was bi in high-school and suddenly he finds a gay crush, just because he finds a gay crush after a long time doesn't mean that he has to like his Gay friend even if his gay friend has a crush on him (I am not saying that the MC has to stay there); and last if your friend suddenly turns bi or gay for you after 10 years because of a suggestion and he sees it as a new kind of fate (maybe knowing the person after some time means we are ment to be), dont fucking say yes, please dont because it won't last as a true relationship.
Interesting read all around.
Is the white hair guy the emperor? One of the ones who helped to imprisoned Dan, and the one who trained the Blood Demon so that he could study their fight.
This seems a lot like a Manager Kim or Lookism manga, but I though it would be different...it was my error....
The thing is that she was a general (or a leader) and a part of the palace harem and even though it was used as an incentive to show how "different " she is it doesn't help the story: first a general or at least a savior of the country would know how to lead, manage soldiers, strategies, etc: and a woman in a Harem had to know how to be devious, cunning, how to survive not only the plans from other women but their hole families, and they would have to politically. But this character does none of that, its more like smash good, Wrecked Ralf without its plot and it just falls flat, because they remind you a lot about how great she was as the savior of a nation and as a woman in the harem (because I think they implied she survived years in there), but none of those plans or strategies are reflected in the way she resolved conflict.
It seems like one of those mangas that are great as a premise, are good at the beginning and have an outline of a story but they dont go further than an outline to flush the story and so the story goes off the rails as time goes on...and they just want to use the number of chapters as a way to get views instead of an actual story. She acts impulsive and like a child and it would be ok...until you remember that she is a grown woman (who went through war and politically intrigue) in a teenagers body.
I am irked by the fact that Arke is used mainly as a plot device to make Iris look better. It reminds me of those Isekai stories where a villainess is suddenly loved by her family because its not her, its actually someone else in her body.
So far we haven't seen anything from her point of view or how she has progressed for the first 40 chapters (and although I haven't read the rest I dont think it will change). So we know nothing of her except to know how different and more capable Iris is compared to Arke, and I am so tired of this. It would have been better to show how she is good at her own things,that Iris is not, or lacks to reach. Until now we only know she is good with books "like her father" but in what area does she excell in that.
Most of the people that Iris meet are along the lines of; I should have realized that you where not her because obviously she is annoying, or she is the most evil shit so you are obviously not her, I am sorry for treating you like I would treat her (valid of she personally did something to you but in the story it said a lot of shit was invented by the newspapers, so why...).
The dad and her grandfather are glad to have her but it looks like they are replacing her, even if they say no, they are glad to have things in common with a stranger (because they are, even if they are family) more than with the girl they raised wrong (it seems that in the manga they alude to her being like that because of her surroundings).
I get it but it also sounds like she was a decent if not good person but then she was screwed over and she had a mental breakdown.
You are right, it was mentioned that as a little girl she was nice and sweet. Which makes me confused because she spiraled through years of depression and anger until she ran away. But the point about raising that I wanted to make (which I am seeing a pattern with not explaining well these last few days, so I should sleep more) is that everyone saw the changes but instead of doing it like "Jesus there is something wrong with my family member because they are acting strange", they compared her to a sister no one knows (not really) and everyone acts as of she was a fucking monster of a human being for having a break down. Instead of the father and grandfather being aware of things (they have power) they played this ignorance game and then got surprised.
P.S. I dont know if I make sense anymore, I think I over explained somethings but if I dont answer back right now I may never do.
No, no, I understand what you mean,
It sounded like in the story there was too many misunderstandings between them. Don’t get me wrong, I really want a few more arcs with Arke in them, but they mentioned how her father and grandfather would try to ask the situation but Arke would break down and lash out more because she was still hurt by things, so they’d end up getting nowhere and just believe what they heard from others. It’s a fundamental flaw in how they approached each other as family members. If they approached her with more patience and quietness then they’d probably have gotten a lot farther, but her father and grandfather are pretty intense people where her mother is a lot more lax. She also didn’t have anything to go off of but the memories she had of her and newspapers that she wasn’t going to believe anyways considering her own past. I think the arc they’re starting rn is really nice since Iris’ mindset towards Arke is mostly familial love and the rest is empathy. She doesn’t pity her or think she’s in the wrong at all, I hope it’ll be a long one. Sadly the artist takes on a lot of good projects that end up discontinued for a comic adaptation way down the line, so here’s hoping this one will last
Last I read from the manga, after a few years, he was going out with the Hawaiian girl, and he was happy working with the Mercenary group. But now...is it before they got together? Did they break up? Why do I get this ambiguous feeling that the new girl is important in more ways than one? If it is before they got together, then why not ask the mercenaries for help? Where are they?
I am beyond confused and I don't really like that. It would have been easy to put a "few years later" or "before the ending" title or something.
I hate this Trope that many action manhwa writers make with women; using women to either make a character soft or to help move the plot towards something, especially when they make characters dumber because of that.
Yuna was likable in the beginning, she wanted to grow, to be stronger, and to help, but now she is just there to conveniently make Peter softer (take care of someone, get hurt for someone, etc.), and as a way to move things towards a certain direction (to show again and again how Peter could brake expectations).
I am more annoyed by Yuna because she was supposed to have had missions before, she advanced in weaponry, she accompanied and saw what Peter can do; she was meant to be a badass and now she is just there.
His friend from Glory is another thing too; she knew how to fight, she even fought Alapied, she is good with information and everything, but we have seen her less and less in action...it's like the author picked certain characters and won't pick up the female ones, except to be worried for Peter. Nathaniel was supposed to have been not only a doctor but a killer too. She was the same age as the sword apostle (forgot his name, sorry), and he can still fight without the undominant arm, but she was treated as this granny by everyone.
I feel like maybe the adaptation between the book and the manga is getting lost; maybe the book explained it better but in the manga it feels like they rush through things and they are trying to eat from 8 different plates without finishing even one. The distribution between the story and the development of said story is way off, and it just leaves you wanting more; more romance, more adventure, more action.
This was especially reflected in these last chapters, I mean, it happened so fast and without any depth that it doesn't mean anything. Just when you are almost worried about what is going on in the dungeon (that has too much action and not much about emotion), he sacrificed himself, and then two pages after he is revived, soo...there is no depth or development in these scenes.
