Don't worry, you can always learn. It's not hard at all
Things got out of control, with the author suffering all kinds of harassment and heated discussions on social media involving readers from various countries.
This situation draws attention to something that has become common in the community for some time: the inability to deal with frustration.
When we invest time and money in a book, it's inevitable to create some expectations, but the direction of the story and the characters is in the author's hands, so disappointments can happen. Criticism and expressions of dissatisfaction are valid, and even necessary, but there is a limit between recognizing that something was not to your liking and disqualifying someone's work.
Attachment to certain narratives and characters is understandable, since within certain contexts, fiction can generate identification, comfort, and catharsis, but loving a character doesn't make them real, unlike the person who created them, who can truly suffer from malicious comments and attitudes. Would it really be valid to harm a REAL person to defend your point of view about a FICTIONAL character?
Ngl if I was the author I would've killed the Mc so no one ends up with anyone
I agree. And I dont see anyone doing the same to others plot that only have r*pe and black flags to the end
I’m getting dejavú bc I saw these exact words on Twitter
Its possible cause we are using it to bring awareness to the situation
In reality, the ending and Ian's dialogues with Jo explain quite a bit why the author chose that "ending." But the lack of textual interpretation from most people here is worrying or you live in world of oz. No ending would be satisfactory for you guys anyway, at least it makes sense. And English isn't even my first language.
I was crying for this couple when she dreamed of him, like their love look so true and for now in the flashback he is even more amazing. Give this man to me i don't want complicated man for me
I don't want to impose my opinion, so I'll just state a fact here for many people to reflect on, because I read some comments asking to make them happy or to get them together so we'll have "a happy ending."
Happiness isn't about them being together or separated, or one of them dying, or the other being imprisoned, or, I don't know, taking the throne and changing everything, and that being "the happy ending." Being happy is ambiguous, happiness is ambiguous, what is happy for me isn't happiness for you, and their happiness at the moment doesn't exist, it's practically nonexistent, because what one wants hurts the other. So I honestly don't know what their happy ending will be, but I hope it's a cohesive ending, which is what I think is fair for this story and even for all of us as readers.
Forgive the typo. English is not my first linguagem.
A happy ending for them would be death or separation.
There is too much hurt between them for them to realistically work in an actual loving relationship even if there was at some point feelings of love between them.
I couldn't agree more. They hurt each other so much that realistically speaking drifting apart would be the only way.
Cause one of my favorite scenes is coming next chapter...THE SOFT ZHENYA SCENE
Spoiler please
Well being a while since i read the novel, but basically zhenya will roll on the snow with taejoo and as taejoo laugh zhenya start kissing all over his face, except the lips, its their first cute moment and the start of zhenya falling in love with taejoo. English is not my first language. I hope its not confusing.
English isn't my first language also so do not worry sis. Thank you very much. And awwww, sweet :3
For the first time, someone is worried about an unexpected pregnancy. I never thought seeing ML being reprimanded for not using contraception would be so satisfying.
