Hyeeun & the professor deserved a worse ending. They got off way too easy. Hyeeun cheated on one of them, and then tried to ruin the career and reputation of the other. And the professor literally assaulted them. Hell even the idol friend was annoying and malicious. I'm tired of this boss
Storys starting with a future scene as their prologues have existed since forever. It's an easy way to intrigue the reader. But, let's imagine the story just starts there like half the comments want it to. With their relationships already established and her leaving.. won't readers then find something even easier to complain about? Like: "hey, why's the story starting in the middle? Why do I keep having to see flashbacks to get context of what's going on and why this person feels like this and why they regret etc. The pacing is terrible!" And yeah, the pacing would be terrible since it's a cliche story with nothing else going on other than the guilty pleasure of mls regretting.
Other character driven storys like this have tried to just start in the future and have had to use flashbacks constantly to show how things developed. Which would be fine, if these storys weren't entirely based off relationships between characters, with less than minimal other plot going on. Not only that, since it's driven by relationships and characters, what's the point if we only see half of their relationship? Won't it be too shallow and surface level then? Won't the regret of letting go of the fmc, not hit the same? Comments make it sound worse than it is, it's literally just one scene of them in the future.
How does one even come to think of something like this. Can you make my thesis statement?
I'm sorry but say this but this is like logical and something you barely need to think of some of y'all js need to be more open minded and actually use your brain no offenses towards y'all iggg
Girly while I agree this isn't genius levels of rocket science "actually use ur brain" and "no offense" should NOT be in the same sentence.. we rlly dnt have to be disrespectful like that
U just gotta be annoyed enough. Annoyance is a form of passion im sure. Gl on ur thesis!!
LMAO YES
Omfgg I was pissed at some ppl In the comment section ok it was only meant for them ugjgjgg dw babes your fine if you didn't have unnecessary and stupidly specific complains
Agreeeddded on the over the top comments complaining omg
Disagree, I came in here thinking this would focus on the aftermath and how we see her actually find a lover outside of the main cast (as was advertised), but it’s just generic slop. They can do this by showing flashbacks or smth. Take my inlaws are obsessed with me as an example; we didn’t see all her relationship with her stepmother, but through the flashbacks or the narrative style, it made you see the bond they had. Now compare that to this? It’s nothing unique, story-wise and stylistic-wise. If you click on any other Isekai Manhwa, you’ll find that this is the same the rest, dragging it out for god knows how long.
The premise was nice, but the execution is just nothing new. That’s probably why most people are complaining. But I get it, it’s what you like to read than that’s okay. It’s just not my, or most other commenters (I guess), cup of tea. Just a bit disappointing is all.
Wait I know you mentioned the overuse of flashbacks, but it really depends on the execution. Overall, I guess the main complaint I have with this story is the execution. But the premise didn’t hook me as a “all the mls are gonna regret this!” Story. I just thought they would be friends. Honestly, they need to make a story where the og mls help fl find her true love. There’s never male-female friends in these stories…always slave -master or they actually like her! Or idk. Maybe I had a set of different expectations.
The cover shows the same characters as the first scene. The synopsis doesn't really hint at a story ur expecting either. It's a cliche, but it never promised to be anything it's not. And yeah, like I said u said I mentioned, the execution of contanst flashbacks would be the deal maker or breaker but let's face it, it's usually the deal breaker. U mentioned a story that's the exception but thats kudos to the writer that pulled it off and wanted to write something different. This doesn't sound like u really disagree, more like u wanted the story to be something else when it sadly isn't.
I would only call ai slop, slop. This is just mainstream and generic. It's hard finding a story that's not tbvh, esp considering whatever is popular is whatever companies push and overwork their artists for, even artstyles. And agreed on the female-male friendships. I feel like.. I'm sure I've read romance stories were some characters were just friends and help eachother but they're DEFINITELY a rare find.
Also, the complaints were mostly people who "couldn't wait to get the good part." Basically, not really that they wanted something different.. just that they wanted to skip to it lol.
Ya I guess so. Tbf I did read the synopsis in the dead of night so my brain was probably fried. Still disappointed tho ( ╥﹏╥ ) wish isekai writers did smth fun instead of the same old generic plot line.
I WISH I didn't read the comments on this WDYM THERES A BULLYING ARC AHHHHH NOOOOO
I just binged the whole 1st season omg.. and the brain dead comments are taking sides when its BOTH their faults (Jun for assuming the role of a 'savior' with his superiority complex. His intentions are utilmately to help him but he went about it in the worst way. Idc what anyone yes that IS wrong of him. And obv Yohans crazy ass for immediately resorting to violence and threats.)
God I feel so bad for both of them too BUT ur actually as dumb crazy as Yohan if u think Jun made the wrong thing BY RUNNING AWAY. FROM SOMEONE HURTING HM. AND POSSIBLY DONE WORSE IF HE HADNT LEFT?? ALSO did u not realize Jun saw the shadow of someone in his pupil before he panicked?? He is TERRIFIED of anyone else finding out about his gay secret. that's been the majority of his character arc now. He panicked and he left and yeah Yohan IS pitiful but ARE U DUMB HE CAN BE PITIFUL AFTER HES PUT THOSE HANDS AND TEETH AWAY. Ugh my heart hurts for season 2.... I don't want a bullying arc.. this hurts
SIDE NOTE THO I absolutely adore how well written the characters are. They're morally grey, with fears AND strengths. Enjoyable to read. CALL ME WHEN THE ISSUES OF S2 ARE RESOLVED I WILL NOT TORMENT MYSELF WITH NO BULLYING ARC AND CLIFFHANGERS THAT WOULD COME WITH IT.
Its so odd but like in a good way? From the character designs to the world building its so weird but interesting can't wait for more chapters to drop
Agreed, it’s chaotic but I can’t stop reading and being intrigued (=・ω・=)
This manhwa wouldn't be the same in the hands of a different artist. This artist made it look so fantastic it would be impossible to recreate all the incredible atmosphere that she was able to make in each panel. All the characters were oozing charisma, even the ones we didn't want to root for.
Sadly, the fate of this is now completely unknown.
Let me state this as a HUGE early on fan of Roxana: I don't care anymore if this never gets a continuation.
I love this manhwa with my whole being but what happened to the artist is much bigger than that now. The level of cruelty and irony to take parental leave yourself and yet push all that stress on your pregnant employee and refuse her taking any time off after a miscarriage that was probably caused from stress of work I genuinely do not have anymore words for this kind of garbage I'm disgusted, I'm furious, I'm sadly not in shock that assholes like this exist but I'm still disappointed.
I hope she sues. And I hope she heals. Wishing the best for the artist. And sincerely, fuck Kakaoshit.
CH 135 WHY U BASTARD WHY IS IT TO FURTHER ISOLATE HER SO U CAN MONOPOLIZE HER ?? I NRVER TRUSTED U I NEVER EVEN LIKED U IM GLAD I WAS RIGHT U BASTARD HOW COULD YOUUUU
I can't believe the authors rlly said "hehe~ we never wrote a thriller before~ let's try it~~" and ended up making this piece of art. The plot is very decent, the art is VERY nice (i love the cinematography-esque composition shots) and idc how slow burn the romance might be, I'm too invested in what's happening and I like when authors let the romance develop more naturally (especially in cases like this, they both lost someone they deeply care about, how shallow of them would it be to immediately be attracted to eachother that quickly and pounce?)
SPOILERS:
..I'm very morally conflicted but.. I'm actually rooting for the killer.. he has every right to kill those sick bastards that did that to his baby girl.. but at the same time.. I'm sure the brother (from the small hints we're getting) wasn't on board the plan and was actually trying to help her.. yet I can't help but think of him and the guy who tried backing out and saying he doesn’t need the money anymore as collateral damage because, well, I just can't blame her dad at all.. idk man.. maybe I have too little faith in any justice system but those ugly fuggs high on power really felt no remorse towards what happened I can't even think of them as human beings.. I cried at the scenes between the father and daughter switching as he kills the fourth victim and I couldn't help but root for him to escape safely and get the last and most vile onemm especially since the brother, who was innocent, died. On what basis should the actually guilty get to live? Would a life in prison be more tortuous? Won't he be out eventually with how influential he is? God I hope he dies
I agree with you too. Their dynamic started from a bittersweet undertones and will slowly develop into something romantic. I can't wait to see how the author will unfold love between them. It's more intriguing when one was in love with the elder brother and one was the younger brother of that elder brother. Besides both of them lost the most important person in their lives. The panel when the sea shells appear are actually one of my favourite. The reveal was just wow, considering how much history the two characters have.
Everytime i come back to this it's just one giant brainfuckery where did the author learn how to write so.... confusingly well
