Like you can see that mantz worked hard to improve and its like I don’t see myself rooting for Paris like they got Nathan and his niece
Like usually when I read stories like this it’s “oh typical revenge plot, nothing new…”
BRO THIS WEBTOON IS EVOKING SO MANY EMOTIONS FROM ME LIKE IM GETTING SAD, ANNOYED, AND OVERALL EMPATHETIC
BRUHHHHHH LITERALLY THE ONE TIME WE SEE WONIL AND ANOTHER BOY BEING DRAWN SERIOUSLY IS IVER A PETTY ARGUMENT
The fiancé trope like when they break off the engagement with the “loser” version of mc that was usually js abused into that state/dealing with trauma, figure out the person that transmigrated into them is strong and powerful now, THEN TRY TO GET BACK TOGETHER WITH THEM LJKE YOU POWER THIRDTY WHORE I HOPE YOU DIE SUCK MY BIG FAT COCK YOU AUTHORITY HUNGRY BITCH BECAUSE ALL THAT SHIT YOU GAVE THE POOR ORIGINAL MC JS TO TURN AROUND AND FALL IN LIVE IS SI DISGUSTING LIKE GO FALL OFF A CLIFF YOU TWO FACED SLUT I HATE GREEDY BITCHES IN ACTIONS I DONT CARE HOW MUCH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT THEY HAVE THEY REMIND ME IF THOSE MALE LEADS THAT GET INTERESTED IN A PERSON AFTER REJECTION LIKE DONT PISS ME OFF AUGHHHHHGH I HOLD SO MU CNN HATE FOR THEM
You r so real for this, this trope is in Duke pendagron too, when he was weak nobody wanted him but now he have multiple wives one of them is the ex fiancee that broke the engagement with him
Hm... I can't say I disagree.. but I also can't say I agree... don't hate me, I'll explain...
Yeah... In action those girls are shown as fake, bishes, power hungry and all insults hurled... and the "slap in the face" of a woman that disliked og for being weak and liking them whe they become "cool and strong"... romance have the same premise on it... the "cheating partner" that try to get back and is trown away for being trash. To readers they are annoying and seeing them get recked is noice... I totally agree with that.
But there's the other pov... that these women start to like mc exactly because they are the MC and not the OG. The name and body might be the same, but it's actually someone else in that body... someone that's strong, brave, intelligent, cool and everything OG wasn't. Someone they would be attracted to even if they weren't in OG's body.
I can't blame them because in many rofan that's basically the premise. MC gets into OG's body (usually a villainess or mob) and because they act completely different from OG, usually being "nice to others, intelligent, brave" and overall the type of the romantic interest, they and the others who used to dislike OG start to like them and they have their "happy ending". Basically, be better and become someone else (change your personality) and people will like you.
On that point I can't blame her because MC is in fact better than OG and have a different personality (is someone else inside). You might think that those are not the same. They really are not, but they are similar. The worst an action comic male MC can be is the "weak patetic loser", the equivalent to rofan is a female MC that is "annoying, dumb, ill mannered, lovefool bish". The main difference is that maleMC have a "higher objective" and doesn't care about how people around them feel about their change. Which is exactly the opposite of femaleMc, who needs to change the feelings of the people around her so they help her reach that objective instead.
Feels manipulative no? Yeah. I lost count of how many times I wished they got possessed and became strong enough that they wouldn't need to care and accommodate to everyone around like those maleMCs and just... fricked up those that deserve it and just "power through'ed" to their objective instead.
Sorry it got long... I'm not trying to make you like her, I dislike her too. Just really giving a view on why I don't hate her as much. But gosh I wish they left romance out of i...t most of times it's just used for ego and fanservice anyway... just hint at it and leave it for the end after MC got their objective instead... u.u
Literally
Incoming YAP session (I read it all ). Lowk, I can understand where your point is coming from but I just can’t bring myself to hate them less. I get that the mc is usually a different soul and shit but most of the old personalities have reason as to why they’ve turned into the person they were, but it could’ve changed if the people around MC (usually the same people around the usual body) prevented it (my opinion).
Also the fiancées are some of the most cold hearted people known to man. Like, to some extent I understand leaving a man because you don’t want to be in a political marriage with someone you deem as “weak”. BUT, it’s when they have the audacity to come back that pisses me off.
To everyone around MC, they think that the owner of the body just changed and they don’t realize it’s another person. That’s why I hate most of them and feel bad for the original owner often because they became liked after being replaced </3
Thats where i left duke pendragon. I mean it was so good and then they added harem n multiple wives made me sick n i dropped it lmao
Nah I totally get hating them... they are characters made to be hated after all... the audacity to come back after trying to break the engagement is real...
Just remember that it's not just a political marriage to someone weak... it's the rest of their life like... if MC hadn't gotten into that body and she married OgMC... she'd most certainly end up k!lled with him... and her family would probably take a hit because of it too... there's no way his siblings would let her be and just go for him...
╮(￣▽￣)╭
I usually feel bad for OgMCs from all kinds of "possessor" transmigrators for the same reason... it's especially bad with the transmigrated into villainesses trope... they are usually mistreated and abused in some way to end like that... and them MC comes and everyone starts liking them as if her behavior was the problem and not the abuse...
Yeah same... it had so much potential... but all those wives and the fact that even the dragon would be a "female lead"... I was like nope... I'm done...
NAH FRL
Nah frl but I can kinda see things ur way now
Hold up.. I never finished it cause I was waiting for it to marinate but the fuck the Duke had multiple wives? Holy shit hell nah. I ain't finishing that story no more
Yeeep... as soon as he comes back after getting the dragon the ex fiance tries to get back and his mom? makes like a victory banquet or something like that. But it's actually a "choose a wife" banquet so he can met many women and marry... idr exactly how it went but he learns of it and just choose a bunch cuz he doesn't really want the trouble of picking a wife? And I was like yeah that's where I stop reading and someone replied something like yeah if you don't like harem you better drop cuz by the end the dragon is the "main wife" and he's still with the others too.
I was also hell nah... I dislike harem... but harem where pets/mystical creatures, slaves or someone that was "raised" by mc, turn into romantic interests are where I draw the line... those are absolute no for me...
Holy shit I am so thankful that I read this comment today cause I was about to read it cause it was like y'know it was marinated long so I was thinking of getting it read but damn did not expect this comment today. Like this is not even the Duke manhwa but damn I got spoiled and thank god I didn't skipped this one. So thank you for telling me and now it's removed from my want to read list.
Samedt, I was reading it since the start since I loved it so much, then it got dumb plus the unnecessary HAREM lol
yall be clocking the tea im here for it (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I mean... how not to when 90% of good action comics are... destroyed by the romantic subplot? Like... I can understand 2-3 girls/women falling for a bad@ss mc... but... more than that? And them "sharing" mc "peacefully"? Heck no! And when there's "no romance" they mean mc is not interested in romance... but all the women around him are ambiguously into him. And in some there's only women around him. A sword? Is a she. A pet? Is a she. A guy? Is a she crossdressing. A fricking homunculus/robot? She. And worse... I gor spoiler in one of my reads that the little girl mc end up having to raise, and that do calls him papa... is disgustingly one of his future wives (wives, plural). How not be mad at that???? How not to flip the table and cuss out the author for effing up a good plot?
And I won't lie and say female targeted romance is much better... I'll be honest. I read them and I'm only there for the revenge and pretty (handsome cof guys) art... because those sheets can be toxic af. From abusive relationships to fauxcest to grooming to all kinds of red flags... I've seen them all... most romance in comics in general sųcks... and honestly, I can point many comic names and why not read them... I have 2 lists, meh with comics that are not bad but not good and nope which comics I think could be buried in chernobyl.
XD
THIS RIGHT HERE LIKE I GET SO MAD ABT A ROMANCE SUBPLOT BECAUSE I STOPPED READING SHOUJO/JOSEI TO ESCAPE IT BUT I ENDED UP ENCOUNTERING AN EVEN SHITTIER ONE
Honey... I got to a point I went for the ch romance... because there at least I expect things to be exagerated and full of dog-blood-drama to the point it gets funny... they remind me of those soap-operas on tv on the afternoons... xD
Call me a zoophile because I will fuck the HELL out of those goddamn lizards !! Also why is Nebula so goddamn sexy…he’s built like a bad bitch and I WANT HIM SO BAD PLSPKSOKSOKSPSLOSLSOSOOSK
You mean call you a furry— call you a furry a zoophile is something else

HELLO
I wish I could go back in time, cleanse my eyes, and keep myself from reading this absolute flaming hot shit. I’d rather force a fistful of fucking cicadas down my throat…
