i know i might be shooting the gun too soon since this is still ongoing but i genuinely believed they would talk things through on that bench. and by that i mean alllll the issues. why even set up and show in detail the issues on their relationship? well mc's at least, what the fuck is ml's problem? am i the only one who thinks him being out of the blue cold at the littlest things manipulative and odd behavior? even i as a reader who got to read his pov is still clueless at the way he acts. and worse, he knows that it affects mc, yet does nothing to fix that behavior. although tbf, mc hasnt talked to him about it, but still
it's impressive no one crashed out in the company yet lol. workplace dynamic aside, no one also knows how much yi-tae is being paid, but i feel like in the real world, hr would gossip, and ofc the info would make its rounds to the company.
i reread the previous chapters with this new upload (chapter 8), and his actions come off as worse the second time around, the time when u really got to think about an information because processing it the first time has already been done. even with his side laid out, there's just no excuse. it's still true what nicole said, he's still thinking about the princess even when he was with her, even if for him it was pity. but like, literally your fiance was there with u. i can feel sorry for someone, but not to the extent like he did when i'm with my boyfriend. it's just different you know. idk why in his perspective he's making himself look like a saint or is justifying his neglect to nicole by basically thinking/saying "it's not what she thinks"... it is though, the truth is, he just didn't care that much about her. i think their social roles and hierarchy also plays into this; he's so used to being the prize, what with being the heir and the norms in his country are, that before (and y'all cannot change my mind about this), he thinks Nicole's lucky she gets to be with him (which is why the arrow struck him when bob-haired against-DV defender leader said something like along those lines).
.
then u think about their traditions, like going together in the soiree, or eating together at lunch... those are there because the men liked their fiancees enough.
.
lowkey i want to see what he would've done if he came upon the realization that nicole doesn't care anymore without others' meddling. remember, it was the student council members who urged him to have lunch with her, even go on a fricking date! like, is he a mama's boy or something that can't do anything without being told what to do?
can someone who understands the raws confirm if he really got his memories back bc i dont believe it i think he's just feigning
even my heart hurt for yi-tae at the omega question
i know it's just a misunderstanding but i still don't want him to end up with her, unfortunately. him trying to win her back isn't even bc of his own will, like, u see ppl around him telling him to go to his fiance's side, yada yada. wtf? makes me think that even if he was able to win her back rn, the issues will still come back later on. he's extremely self-centered, and i am questioning if he truly has no idea of the norms or just plainly doesnt care, as he is part of nobility. those norms made others pity his fiance. again, very wtf behavior.
despite the story on chp 7, i still think they'll end up together. i'd have hope if this was a manhwa, but like mangakas are the most extreme male glazers ever, so like, i dont have much hope. i'll read only for the angst, then dip when they start getting together
same I really hoped she finds a better person but I know she won't cause there's no other guy on the cover
oh you'll regret this so bad geum dan HAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAAHA
wtf this manhwa is so underrated like i actually like this than the mainstream angst/revenge manhwa recs i see on tiktok. i get my recs from tiktok and i have never encountered anyone who recommended this manhwa ever. had to discover it from a random list here in mangago
it's too good for my reader friends who call themselves "shit eaters" half ironically or maybe not ironically at all, but it's not "pretty enough" for people who have higher standards or something. Misses both large groups
Many people dismissed this manhwa because of its changing & sometimes awkward arts but it doesn't bothers me much because the plot is sooo good and original.
this manhua is my indicator that plot matters much more to me than the art, though i do think the overall effect of the experience of reading it would be greater with beautiful art. not like manhwa art style but something that follows the flowy-ish art here. i do have to admit that the og art here already suits the story and adds on to it; however, it's something you'd see in the draft stages, yknow... feels like the artist just colorblocked and stuff
