age difference aside..... them getting engaged feels so WRONG somehow (unless it's only to protect and won't lead to ACTUAL marriage)
Like.... there's something about their dynamics that screams they'll be much better off as siblings rather than something romantic...
I hope he suffers (romantically)
I hope, at some point, he despairs at the fact that MC doesn't feel the same as him (aka, he falls in love first)
*sry, i hate his archetype, but would also love to see him go thru chara dev to be less of an entitled asshole
OOOoooohhhh
I just knew that useless contract is gonna bite her in the ass
((ヾ(≧皿≦ﾒ)ﾉ))
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Given that brief flashback..... he was raped wasn't he?
That's why he doesn't like women, and doesn't want to associate with MC & Noah as they are triggers for his trauma.....
At least he didn't physical abuse the child and provided for his basic needs (somewhat) unlike in some stories....
Though I know that doesn't entirely excuse his neglect, it does make it understandable to an extent
THEY'RE SO FUCKING ADORABLE
Ho and Kwon's interactions ARE SO HEALING
Also, THE BABY IS SO CUTE I WANNA HUG HER TIGHT AND PINCH HER CHEEKS
betcha her naming moment will be monumental with an beautiful name that has a deep, symbolic, and wonderful meaning
I really REALLY like his emotional maturity.
His self-awareness and tacit acceptance that he may never be able to reach Soohyun's level, but it doesn't stop him to try, regardless.
How he didn't let his envy consume him and wholeheartedly chose to stay by Soohyun's side to support him however he can
Which in turn, lead to him being able to develop and showcase a crucial talent that can serve as the key to not repeating the past: management. Be it human or other resources.
It's been repeatedly shown to us that the key to changing the future is having a united front among ALL hunters.
Soohyun CAN definitely be the leader. Spark in them the desire to be better, to work for the greater good.
But as the mightiest of them all, he cannot focus on managing or rallying everyone. Because he has to be at the forefront of the fight and focus on defeating the hardest foes and the biggest boss fight there ever will be.
That's where Jooho comes in.
He can make sure Soohyun isn't fighting all on his own like in the previous timeline.
He'll be the one making sure that everything is working behind the scenes and that the smaller fights are handled so that Soohyun can focus his energy on the bigger fights.
I absolutely LOVE this kinds of characterizations: non-uber powerful supporting characters can bear the same weight and importance to the story as the hero.
I know other action manwha's have this secretary trope that fulfills Jooho's role. But often, they aren't given deeper characterizations like with Jooho and are portrayed as this uptight smart dude wearing glasses with blind devotion to the leader and is often relegated to behind the scenes, rarely at forefront or focus.
But, for me, that's not really the case for Joohoo.
He's always ever present; Soohyun's partner in crime; making and developing plans with him instead of just following orders (in other stories, this role would have been buster sword kid's)
For me, the MC is the least at fault for this entire situation :)))
If ML has a spine, he should eventually man up (after he got over the embarrassment), visit her and beg for her forgiveness and a second (well, third) chance to make their engagement right!!!!
Also, I hope Lex gets karma or something :)))))
That dude's having WAY too much at other's expense :))))
Noooo~~~
Why is this out but the part of the orig story where it came from is noooooot
I am happy this got translated.... but I can't appreciate this without vol 2 of Romantic Lament....
I pray to god it ain't Leo or Eulique
It seems this is one of those stories where, no matter what, what happened before must happen again.
Though, the people involved and the gravity of the result may change (kinda like in the kdrama, Marry My Husband)
After Vercike's partial backstory, I feel like there are more and more hints that Cain isn't as good as he was initially portrayed to be....
Like, he's the root and cause of their problems and the prophecy is part of some sinister plans that he may or may not have a hand in (i.e. it's not entirely by or due to the corrupt Aman)
What if this nagging feeling that we, readers, have about how we seem to be missing something is a deliberate choice to make us feel unsettled and uncertain of the developments, despite the good progress in Ken and Agia's relationship.....
Only time will tell.
Also, WHY WON'T YOU FUCKING ASK VERCIKE'S VERSION OF THE PROPHECY?!
- maybe they'll ask AFTER they did their research?
- IDK. My curiosity about that version of the prophecy is killing me
I hope they clear things up and have their reputation take a serious hit for their transgression to Zig
Tho I get the feeling they won't let their mistake harm their clan and will let the rumor perpetuate.....
and will instead try to compensate him in some other way that will inevitability worsen his reputation and/or standing in the guild....
Kinda like that Jinsu bitch....
(Sry, I'm just in an irritable mood)
All right!
Character Development here we go!!!
PS it's always painful to watch someone reach their breaking point
I felt a somewhat strong aversion for a non-toxic ML....
And I don't know why.
Aaron just irks me and I feel ZERO attraction for him and enough dislike that it makes me wanna drop ths
Objectively speaking, HE AIN'T BAD AS AN ML.
I just really don't like him.
Sorry, I just wanna vent it out..... even tho I know I probs shouldn't.....
I also find Herman just plain disgusting. (And not just for betraying his family..... but for everything.)
*sigh* I'm only staying coz I really like the FL and her brother and feel somewhat sympathetic w/Anita......
They're falling for each other so hard <3
I'd love to see Seong Ha realize he's already fallen by getting jealous :P
*evil grin*
I wonder what world she ended up in :)))
I'm kinda hoping she's a good side character in another novel inspired world where a different FL got isekai-ed in HAHAHAHAHA
Ya know... I find Rian's character development so much mor satisfying than the MC's
(So far)
Is it an old one?
Or a foreshadowing that they're gonna go their separate ways again???
