I love this story, its one of the best ones for depression representation (?) along with Payback, but I think the resolution was rushed at the end. I dont know if its me ....maybe it is ...but people especially in this type of media (manga, manhwas, webcomics) sometimes have to make it work at the end, especially with family. Forgiving family for what they do to you is not always the answer and its not always something that should be done as a step of acceptance or a way to work around your depression.
Yes, she is human, and yes she deserves to be free of the other family that abused her, but: saying that both your children are dead, leaving one of those children behind with the abusive parent and family, remarrying and never looking to see how he was was or even resolving it through therapy (because the daughter said they knew it was psycbological and she got help) is just too much to uncover and resolve in one chapter.
I know he was saying everything and that the thought process was shown in that chapter, but it did not seem enough to me. Yes he forgave her for abandoning him and realized that he didnt want to have people worry about him because he is in pain, but that does not deal with abandonment, or being a young adult, or being talked down to your whole life and told that you murder everyone around you. It would have been more meaningful to have the mother actually working it out and apologizing and him saying that stuff to his mom, rather than the stepchild she raised instead of him. He was an adult now, she could even look for him in secret or in hiding from her husband, I dont know but it would have been more meaningful for it to be her.
This is advice from someone who went through something familiar to a person similar to Haeyul. When you encounter someone that says you are perfect, that they wouldn't like you to hang out with someone; they would do something in exchange for your time and for your love; or they bite you, kiss you or hug you without consent; or they want to desperately and forcefully get your attention like Haeyul did to Jaewon, do not and I sincerely repeat: do not go along with things, do not accept things, do not leave with them, you draw a line, and run. In this story the MC is too kind, and such a good person that he didnt immediately kick out a guy who he clearly saw that he had broken in. He didnt tell him where he lived and he didnt invite him before.
I know its for the purpose of the book but, do not think "I need this so I will do what they ask" or "I am going to be nice this once", or "Yeah its a nice distraction " because they will not leave you alone.
I know some will say "but there is such a thing as being nice and cordial": you know what I would rather people see me as a fucking bitch that bites and is an asshole than have an asshole stalker. And I know some other would say "but its his job, its his money" and let me say no money is worth your safety, because those things escalate and they get worse, and its better to look for another job, another person to tutor, etc. than have your safety compromised
Now that asshole is a stalker because he did enter his home without consent, but it seems that their last teacher, Yesung was also a grooming asshole. And people can say its normal or what not, but at 22 you do not ask a 15 year old to be your friend and spend all of the time with him, you dont ask him to disconnect you from life support (basically he js asking a kid to kill him as a favor), and you do not ask to meet them outside work without their parents consent. A pedophile or a groomer does not have an age restriction, they can be 22, and this asshole is a groomer. People can say that they where friends and they never went further but they clearly are because Doonin said so himself, the tests where far away and there was no reason that Yaesung had to ask to meet a 15 year old in private for "work". It was his first time not going and he did it with the his parents permission, he could have called his parents.
I think at this point, the only explanations for the non bl but bl centric plot are either:
1. The author has another "name" and wrote doujinshi bl under that name, but he wanted to officially write an action manga with his actual name. However, his bl tendencies bleed through and now it is more bl than anything.
2. The author is Bl baiting to get readers in an action manga...counterproductive to the actual mission, but it makes sense. Looking at the covers it looks more like a typical bl cover than an action one. I have read action without bl before (like a lot of us in here) and most of their covers dont look like the covers of this manga.
3. It was originally bl but no bl magazine wanted to accept the manga, so the author erased those scenes and made it into an only action manga...but some things stayed the same, and now the author swears it is an action without bl manga.
What is this rush hour shit? The chapters are short and it seems like the author either was axed or just wants to ax the manga themselves.
allergic to unfinished stories /••੭
Its not Yi Zaha apparently, its someone else. Its another person who has the same title but it was passed down apparently.
What is going on?! Again?!
The worst thing is that I told myself to back up, over and over again, but my lazy ass didn't..."Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me". I want to be an adult and take things calmly but I am losing it.
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.
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".
trashy pervert
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 want to erase mangas from my Read list, but they are still there, without the rating or tags visible, but they still appear there. I tried moving them to the "Want to Read" and erase them there, but it still appeared when I select the tag they where under. Does this happen to someone else? How did you deal with this?
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.
