I can kinda understand her decisions but the main character still infuriates me...
Like I get that she was obsessed with making sure ekles, her lifeline, likes her but she literally spend her entire money (that she could use to run away later or check other characters to make sure they don't fall off too much) just reading his score while still keeping a harsh line between them and wondering why it won't get to 100%. And then she tells the crown prince that she wants someone to love her AND whom she loves back. Which contradicts her behaviour imo she never even tried to love ekles. (Sure I wouldn't either had I thought everything to be predetermined by the game, but she starts to integrate more and more)
And now Yvonne: MC literally saw that miss real daughter is also miss trying to destroy the country and miss brainwash lady. I guess she doesn't really care for anyone in the world -not even her maid or herself, cause there's nothing more obvious than everyone's death or suffering once Yvonne gets to control all the powerful former MLs. Penelope knows that she's the only one who saw Yvonne's real self (maybe even suspecting something's a liiiiiittle bit off because of the corpse like body paired with the sucking out life thing) and she's like 'nah, why should I tell anybody else or make precautions, let's rather stay in bed'. I hope she at least asks the magician rabbit boi how to annul the shard-brainwash thing. I get that she wouldn't have any trust in the other MLs since Ekles betrayed her even though he had the highest rating, but that doesn't mean she can't use them. Bunny boy doesn't want miss-life-sucking-lady to triumph too after all. All Penelope needs to do is fucking warn and tell him. (She could also warn Mr handsome Crown prince in Case it's not his fav pasttime to be a puppet emperor and be controlled by miss corpse Ivonne)
But nah, ofc she prolly won't do that
Okay sorry had to unload quite a bit
I really like this series so I'm gonna keep reading and hope for a satisfying climax of the story
(If I had any misunderstandings please kindly correct me, else it will only haunt me more)
The reason she now says she wants to find someone to love, is because (in the novel) for the 99% to get to 100%, mc needs to share the love too (she needs to love them BACK). It cant be onesided. (Ekles doesnt love her, he is obsessed)
I understand why a lot of people think she lacks love and care for the world and its people, but thats because she doesnt see them as real: she sees them as pixels, code and a simple game that will reset after she leaves.
Also she doesnt know that Yvonne can manipulate people yet (I think, have to reared). And even if she has speculations they are too farfetched considering this is a romance game she is stuck inside (I wouldnt bealive that theory either if it was me).
I dont think she is sure that she saw Yvonne that day in the magic ritual (only reason we know its her is because we can go back and check, and have all time in the world.).
I agree that she could have stayed in that world in some hut and lived 'happily ever after", but thats not something that would make her happy, especially considering she thinks of the world as a game and code. She wants to return to her world, and thats why she get so desperate and does some things thag might seem bad or weird
Correct me if am wrong, and sorry for the stupidly long explanation (=・ω・=)
That actually makes a lot of sense, thank you!! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
So his excuse is just that he's mentally a little child who can't get out of his "bully my crush" phase -_-
For how intelligent he's made out to be, he sure is dumb as hell
I love love love this so much
Hope it gets finished in my lifetime (づ￣ ³￣)づ
ARGH YESSS BEAT HIM UP
I really hope the lil bro suffers and the dad and whole family too
The way I was full on ready to hate on the main character of the second season forever after the manipulating bullshit he pulled and nearly dropped it, but now I kinda love him and his damaged soul <3
he does deserve love, I hope he'll be happy forever (and fuck his family over)
he doesn’t show remorse at all though.. in fact when presented with the fact that Taeseo could find out about his mischievous and manipulative tactics and actions he instead internalizes it as Taeseo seeking revenge..
LOL in fact after that he tries to lead Taeseo on and love bomb him even
I know he’s a damaged soul and trauma does impact actions individuals take and sometimes mistakenly take but to show no caution or even guilt shows me that to other people besides Taeseo he’ll still be shitty and destructive..
Heck even in this season he’s already screwed couple people..
Characters like this that show no gradual change or improvement just irk me
I agree, as of now there was no redemption arc or any apology at all
I interpreted his actions as a form of self sabotaging. He struggles with building close relationships and seems afraid of real feelings. (We saw a slight uncertainty in his backflash when he was leading MC from first season on.)That's why he later immediately jumped to the "he only does this because of revenge" thought. Because of his experience of abandonment with his family he seems to distrust everyone in general and rather tries to be above everyone else, dragging others down and reaffirming his power, so he would not get hurt again.
But that is not to say he is not a manipulative asshole. He himself knows that, hence why he would struggle even more with a real relationship (as his actions and personality could be exposed in a second). I also detest how he destroyed others lives (esp. poor side character at the beginning he stole his research from :') ). If he has no redemption arc or even apology I wouldn't like it either and probably also be disappointed.
But all in all I like his character design. Maybe ive over interpreted it tho, these are just my assumptions
No this 100%
I agree as well.. it’s also gonna show up in their relationship.. he’ll always interpret any action by Taeseo as maybe self serving or scheming..
Unless he fesses up the entire truth.. apologizes to the main couple and tries to fix his public relations at school and the like.. it’ll just be a one dimensional character who uses power trips and ego checks on underserving people..
Also with all the power and drama he wields.. why doesn’t he check his family first and foremost?? Especially his negligent mother and abusive father l..
I really enjoyed this story and the angst and misunderstandings were so realistic and the characterization felt so fleshed out.. especially Baekryung and Seonwoo.. I wish Taeseo had more going for him besides the golden retriever x unassuming kind of guy but I guess the author maybe intended him to act as a magnet to Seonwoo toxicity and control nature
What do you mean "Can I buy him?"
Was that a translation mistake
Bruh her ex is such an asshole they both kinda deserve themselves, really can't wait for the ending and their downfall
Yeah nah I want the ML to suffer
He literally destroyed Nahos social life and then didn't even care about supporting/defending him
ong
I am still very confused ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
This was a rather dramatical version of the villainess story. L's identity and importance actually makes sense but why the heck did they concentrate so much on her brother if he never showed up? Just to make it clear that she still suffered from her past life?
exactly what i was thinking! like just give her a vague backstory all this brother stuff is useless if they're not going to do anything with it. (╬￣皿￣)凸
Damn mommy was a serial cheater
