soooo.. that dude decided to ask him to be his fwb after lecturing him about his friend just trying to use him? deadass? he himself knows that our dense princess is a little slow in regards to people so why the hell would he suggest that? what an ass.
It’s just an act
Not sure what his plan here is but honestly i dont think he's a bad guy for asking him to be fwb. He wasnt saying "don't have fwb" he was just telling him to not be dumb and put too much on a relationship with a guy who's not even willing to say they are more then just regular friends. Weird to ask right after, sure but not really an ass move. He's being straight up with him about what he wants at least.
why is every ML shit in bl manhwas these past few months? never had a problem with second male lead syndrome but I‘m starting to have it. these authors need to start giving us MLs that are actually likeable again because why the f should I want them as the endgame couple?
as someone with facial piercings and a butthole, I’m terrified.. man you gotta leave
I get the ML doesn’t know what really happened and has a hard time believing what the MC is saying. but waterboarding him in the toilet? rape torturing him in the next chapters? what is this nonsense?
Its called bad writing and i think the authlr should take a backseat.
Literally was such a intresting story but someone let the author go over a cliff
Its consistent with author's other stories too, idk why i even started this one.
Yes but at the same time one really wants to see authors grow and learn and change. It's just disappointing. Because like ...yayyy... time to add this with the other thousands Korean manhwa with assault /sarc.
It's so common that finding one without is a treat.
they were awful parents. 7 year contract? did they actually think that would work? ken’s response/anger as a kid made so much sense. and since those two took too long to actually explain anything, the damage was already done. ken already resented her too much and suddenly going back would be hard. especially for someone as stubborn and traumatized as him. and nick? he did literally nothing wrong. why is he being punished? it is obvious that FL neither wants to go back to the old house, nor continue playing his mother. I know she just wanted to fulfill her promise, but all she did was essentially traumatize these children and then discard them. you can’t swoop in, force yourself into the role of a mother and then suddenly just dip. she would have done less damage staying away from the kids then this shit. seriously. what was she thinking? and don’t get me started on the husband. spineless coward that took too long to explain the situation to his kids, took too long to get back the FL and is now forcing himself in her orbit after she made it clear that she didn’t want him in there. I dislike them both and honestly f them both because they came up with that shit plan. smh
The point of the marriage was to stop the royal family from forcing the dad into an arranged marriage and muscling the boys out of their inheritance/possibly just straight up murdering them when the new wife had a kid.
This is literally spelled out in the first couple of chapters, how did you not notice?
that’s such a bad excuse. there are infinitely many ways to handle that without all the nonsense. e.g.: telling the kids? literally the easiest way to handle this entire fiasco. not necessarily the killing part still. it affected the kids so badly that one of them literally clung to his mom’s grave. then telling one kid but not the other? what about actually trying to find out what happened to the mom? point is, this kids were never part of the contract and had no say. if I asked my best friend to take care of my kids after my death and you pull this shit, I’d be haunting you and waiting for your death to make you suffer. you can’t include being a mom in your shit contract if the kids aren’t aware of said contract and giving consent. what is so difficult to understand? she and that shit husband didn’t do shit except bullshitting the kids and dropping them. she is a horrible friend, and even worse mother, and seriously dumb af. she’s the one that introduced that shit plan without actually planning anything. husband could’ve just not married. or worse case: gotten a contractual marriage with some other woman. but nope. let’s have the mom’s best friend marry the husband. the literally only other person these kids looked up to so she can ditch them as well after making them believe their dad had an affair and their stepmom betrayed their mom. phenomenal plan! please. let’s use our brains before commenting
i’ve only read up to chapter 8 but i’m glad i found a comment that agrees with me. i feel like the story had so much more potential if we didn’t just randomly time skip the seven years. also, you’re telling me you had seven years and you still couldn’t figure out who the murderer was? or even a small clue besides “oh it could be the royal family” ? with that much time, i could get two college degrees.
i think the angst of them grieving and having to juggle with co-parenting would’ve been wonderful! even them trying to comfort each other because the person they love the most was unjustly killed. or even about the struggles of being a stepmother to children who are grieving. if i was nick, i’d curse them out too. like you BOTH didn’t cry at my mom’s funeral and now you’re married when it hasn’t even been a full year since she died? and i never understood the “oh they’re too young to understand” excuse?
yes children are fragile and more vulnerable than adults but that doesn’t mean you should deceive them. they had seven years to explain to the children and they still didn’t? “that is no way to speak to your stepmother” to your GRIEVING child who just lost their mother is insane. like you are a bad dad. idk, i was kind of expecting more development but the story falls flat because we had one chapter and then skipped 7 years. plus the author added in two new love interests. but i’m only on chapter 8 so maybe if i catch up, my opinion will change.
the more I think about this story the less any of what happened makes sense: it wasn’t clearly stated why this marriage is stopping any and every attack from the royal familiy. if marriage number 1 dind’t stop it, why does marriage number 2? And why the FL specifically? she has no status, money, political power or any influence. her power is being close to the kids and the previous wife. now how the f does this stop murder attempts? a political marriage with someone either influential or with a military background would actually make so much more sense. then we are made to believe that the royal family is after the children’s inheritance. it can’t be about money because the royal family usually has enough. so it can only be about resources and land. but those you didn’t get until the previous owner aka the dad died. so this aspect of the story seems like nonsense because in that case, the threat isn’t gone and the children are still in danger. but apparently the FL fulfilled her promise with that contract marriage, yet we don’t know how. at the same time she needed protection from her husband and she asked him to protect her. then we’re made to believe the kids are safe now. at the same time not really, as we don’t know who the threat is and what their actual goal is, since we only have the assumption of the previous wife as an indicator. so how the f does the FL know she fulfilled the promise if she still doesn’t know what the f the threat is? yet she left without “regrets”. we’re aware that she didn’t fulfill her promise on an emotional level as she already traumatized and ditched these children. but now I can’t even be sure she fulfilled it physically. how do you know someone is safe from some mysterious danger, if you don’t know what the damn danger is? but hey! she fulfilled her promise and took care of the ex-wifes family! let’s have a look at the state of it: kids are estranged from their father, they don’t talk to each other, are traumatized, have drastic changes in their personalities, and the husband is in shambles, desperately trying to get her back. but hey! she fulfilled her promise. XD either way. this is such horrible world building and the characters are shit. cause how the f does she still not know who killed her best friend yet has the time to dilly dally and have men circle around her like birds in a mating ritual? and now we’re supposed to forget this entire aspect and focus on her potential love interests? with the threat still out there? and no answers? please. FL and that husband are either naive/dumb af/ shit people or everything at the same time.
This is from novel updates spoiler about ken.
His behavior is understandable while he is a child, turn out he didn't change at all once adult. He learns about the contract to protect him and his brother, but doesn't care. He is still angry and want her to suffer. Well, he didn't do anything yet.
In the end, he is now an adult, he has the mental capacity to understand that we can't have everything we want in life and circumstances of both sides, in the army he should have seen this type of situation. But that doesn't apply to MC case.
He knows about the contract to protect him
he knows about her giving him space
he knows about her not going outside at all for 7 years
he knows about her name being plumbed to the ground
he knows about her leaving as soon as her job finished
But he doesn't care. He cares about
her taking the place of his mother
her trying to keep a good relationship despite taking the place of his mother
his dad and family becoming the target of gossip
He doesn't want to understand and even when he knows, he just blame her anyway because no ones asks her to do that (Well, turn out his mum did ask her). He doesn't change is point of view despite growing up and seeing her not being greedy in 7 years. That why people call him narrow-minded.
I refuse to believe they don’t know how serious this issue is. they cancelled the kdrama “perfect crown” for not depicting korean royal customs correctly yet greenlight this. first mark from nct wearing a shirt with the confederate flag, and now jaxx writing a story about the darkest times of US history with a poc and white man in a master-slave relationship. what the heck is going on?
They don't care about black people racism has always been in their culture
dojin pisses me tf off with his reaction. those 2 never did something wrong an remind you, dojin used to sleep with alphas, got an omega pregnant and treated him like a surrogate and begged said omega to keep the baby. or better said pressured. I know this entire interaction was supposed to be comedic relief but I‘m still angry because of love is an illusion plus the secrecy regarding byul‘s grandma. He was already on thin ice but now I feel like smacking him every time he opens his mouth. hyesung. go put him on a leash or something. :/
I couldn‘t care less about his backstory. MC‘s as well as ML‘s highschool story is just giving lukewarm. sorry but I‘m bored as hell. and ML still seemed somewhat normal. or better said, functional. dafuq made him do the shit the present? the story started strong and seemed interesting in the beginning. but at this point, I just dislike both characters. I can‘t even feel for the MC. I still remember his perspective of the events and even then I was like: meh. I‘m truly apathetic towards both characters, which is a first for me. usually I‘m up complaining and bitching even for the side characters of a story. anyone else struggling to truly immerse into this manhwa and feel for the characters?
absolutely hate the characters. everyone acknowledged that he lost his memory and hasn’t fully recovered. yet they put him in a straight jacket to sleep in and avoid him like the plague while explaining nothing. I don’t give a shit how terrible he might have been before his memory loss. you don’t treat a confused patient with amnesia like that. and that fuckass guide? he ignores his partner to the point of attempting suicide, watch him be ignored and excluded while being his attending doctor, refuse to treat him as he doesn’t want to guide him, yet also refuses to pass him on as a patient and partner..? hello? am I tweaking or missing some puzzle pieces? and then that performative concern when he was taken into an additional examination with his straight jacket, as if he didn’t watch him in that fackass suit for days. honestly fuck everyone and I don’t care what an ass the ML was. prisoners are treated better than this.. I’m pissed
I'm seriously hoping for chasing arc
Exactly my thoughts. Seriously what the fuck i need to crack this shitty guide’s head open to get his logic he is disgusting they’re all disgusting
