it cracks me up every time a new old guy is introduced & it's the same old guy with glasses or a new hairstyle. the artist is afflicted with a unique variant of same face syndrome- most artists do this with young attractive characters but this one does it with old salary men
you can tell the plot's good af tho bc a lot of readers, me included are sticking with it despite the art
also support them on webtoon since it's free to read there! so they can work on this series and more
it's interesting how oedipal mother cases in history are often rooted in a woman's lack of agency during those times. after giving birth to a son they hinge all their self worth on them and act territorial, seeing other women as the enemy that exist to steal the authority they gained via their male child instead of the patriarchal system that robbed them of their personhood. which kinda makes sense for this character.
it's also why in the present you see normal parents call themselves 'mom' while some women caught up in conservative social circles & tradwife lifestyles like to label themselves 'boy moms' to emphasize how they integrate their child's gender into their own identity.
Very good pointers!
he's so precious and embarrassing and adorable anddd helppppp
sometimes when i need a good cry and feel a lil bit of hope at the end of it, i read this all over again. it's a treat both for the eyes and the heart
i hate it when they prematurely do this
like, tf you joking around with your twin for and claiming who? this ain't the time for a romantic chasing arc interlude when he STILL talks down to her and trivializes her autonomy
i thought him going to the barn in the middle of the night would be to grovel and apologize and admit to her face how much he let her suffer, but wtf was that
if Erna stars blushing and getting flustered over him next chapter i'm gonna crash out.
OLD LADY STOP ENABLING HIS BS. I'm slowly realizing part of the reason he's such an unsympathetic narcissist is because of the people around him so quick to forgive his horrendous actions that he naturally expects erna to do so without question. THIS WOMAN WENT THROUGH A TRAUMATIZING MISCARRIAGE AFTER BEING OSTRACIZED AND ABUSED FOR SO LONG. SHE WAS ON HER OWN. You pity her, but don't think twice how your master is the main perpetrator for her suffering? Tf.
oughh this truly is one of the best webtoons i've read in years...
