I know right? I thought that would be like, an epilogue or maybe tie up all the loose ends of the story and the plot holes but if it's going to drag, let's get some action going on or some spiciness. Let's add a little Jalapeno in this salsa. The bad guy almost win or let's have dick get away with it in some ways but then gets caught in the end or let's see what happens to the light goddess after she went back to wherever God's go or whatever like is there like a bar for gods or something? Does she get a makeover? I mean like she was tortured for like a long long time in this fiery piss of hell, let's see her get some glow up. A Redemption Ark. Or maybe like have some fun you know doing God stuff. And also like being a dick. If he can't get a w, then let's get him some good old-fashioned you know, let's mess with him. But not it's all like he has a scheme and he almost got away with it but without any effort or even like figuring anything out he gets caught. Like the dude schemed so well and they just called him out of thin air
I wished the main villain was more interesting tho... Although the goddess could have been considered one, she's not exactly the main villain but just another plot point for the characters to get through. The story had a lot of potential, and it served a lot with its wholesome moments but that's it. It was a very fun little silly read just not as interesting as I would have liked.
I get that. Personally, yhe villain got me pretty darn heated if entirely because of his shear audacity. The entitlement with an absolute lack to back it up made me SO freaking mad. The fact that he's not smart but thinks he is makes me mad. Not to mention the entitlement he has toward women, even though he only wants them either for what they can provide him monetarily and/or status-wise; and/or they “belong” to someone else.
I usually base how successful a villain is, in my mind upon their ability to anger me. In that case, in my opinion he's a pretty well done, terrible person.
That's a good point. For me, villains are evaluated on how well they are written or done to cause as much "problems" as possible for the main characters. They're supposed to serve as a big plot point in the story. Villains ARE necessary because they serve as a drive for the main characters to achieve something. They can either be the main crisis or obstruct their goals.
In this scenario/manhwa, the main crisis is the curse of the royal family or basically the main ending of the original novel where ML is unhappy and dies(?). Dick here (don't remember his name lmao sorry) is a character which goal is to obstruct the main mission which is saving ML from being unhappy. The situation is that the guy is actually more of a supporting villain than the main one because he is not the main issue but just another plot point that causes more problems or makes things a LITTLE bit harder for the main characters. If we look back on everything he has done, he basically achieved nothing but being obnoxious and shameless. That's totally fine because he's supposed to be an annoying supporting character.
What is actually tiring me out is the fact that currently, they are making him out to be a role he isn't even playing. We have a whole arc before the curse on how shitty he was in his past and present life. I wish we could have used that and maybe actually promote his role to be something bigger and more influential to the story. However, it's not the case because ultimately, he has served no purpose at all since he couldn't even carry out his revenge plan... With how he even seduced the goddess in her past life was merely just luck and naivety on the goddess' part. Pure luck and nothing else.
I can never forgive you! How could you? You put a thumbs down on my heart wrenching soul bearing comment ? Dramatic pause... actually it's all good. You are so right on this. Yeah I totally like glad you said that because that's perfectly exact what I was trying to say. You're all good. I'm waiting for the BS to be over too. I mean like there was so much potential coming up and I was like, okay this is clever and is at play but oh no! Girl dropped the potato
Okay so I like the chaos sometimes and I sometimes root for the villain when he gains the upper hand and some stuff. So when he was pulling this off I was like, okay okay so let's just throw some detective work going on. Let them use their little cleverness to figure out his scheme but no! No no no no, they too dumb.... they can NO think. Like wtf... You got the baby head Prince here and the Pick Me princess figuring things out without even trying. That was so disappointing. I was almost hoping Dick would get away with his scheme cuz then it would have been like you know different... add some spice or something. But no no no no no no no, we got royal Prince "Goo Goo Gaga head on Chad Body" calling Dick out and "God loves Blonde" princess over here, already uncovering his scheme without even blinking. Like What the hell. I'm going to end up cheering for the villain now
