blondie is such a loser, wtf. like who thinks like that
tbh, the way he repeats that hollow mountain is dead with the name in quotes, lowkey is making me think they did a cop out and bi gwang just broke the Hollow Mountain mask, and killed his persona but let the dude live. which, imo, is actually preferable, bc im all for the “friendship is magic” trope, tbh
ML suddenly became a lot less annoying and it’s bc he’s so stupid, it actually caught me off guard
can someone spoil to me what happens to the rest of idris' knights and what was up with the prince's and idris' hinted childhood friendship? bc i cannot read anymore of this (i stopped at the end of s1). mostly bc i'm reading the comments and apparently the ending doesn't feel satisfactory. while i can totally get that in real life, after so much abuse and seemingly never-ending tyranny, it's probably believable that the victims are just happy and relieved that the prince is dead and gone, regardless of whether or not he actually got dished any karmic justice for all that he's done against them. like revenge isnt even a priority anymore underneath longterm conditions of severe abuse- you just want nothing to do with them atp. but i personally cannot read that type of ending after reading that entire first season of just plain (and pretty explicit) abuse and humiliation against not only idris, but the rest of the order. like i just wanted to know what's up with the prince and idris' old friendship, and how the rest of the knights turned out (rip ivor, tho)
I finished reading this a long time ago so maybe some details are incorrect but here’re what I remember: for the rest of Idris’ knights, Violette became the princess’ knight at the end while the red-haired one became the leader of revolutionaries and they aimed to end aristocracy and build a republic, this hasn’t been addressed clearly in the ending so I guess the author will handle this issue in the side stories, the short-haired one become a medic, the rest are shattered and going on their own paths.
About the prince and Idris’ childhood friendship, the prince came to Idris’ village when he heard his knights got knocked down by a kid, the prince then convinced Idris to became his personal knight because of his outstanding swordsmanship and Idris agreed because he didn’t want the villagers to get attacked by the royal knights of the prince. Their relationship actually went well at first and they were good friends until Idris almost got assassinated by the prince’s older brother’s guard, which had led the prince to become overprotective and obsessed towards Idris. He then poisoned his older brother and started isolating Idris from others with the reason of protecting Idris from external dangers. Their relationship reached its downfall when the prince Idris because he refused to follow his orders (something like invading Idris’ motherland aside his hometown). Still the prince proceed to make Idris kill all the villagers and manipulated him, making him become a war hero as he is in the beginning of the story
ohhhhhhhh i see. tysm for your detailed reply, i realy appreciate it- it satisfied my curiosity that would've otherwise went unanswered. tysmmmm
this is so damn chinese. like it has the straight-man essence of every, action-based chinese manhwa (excluding anything based off of butterfly blue's novels)
holy fuck this is WAY too good. i'm only on ch16 and it's crazy how well-paced such an action-packed story is. like for just a section fo 16 chapters, the insane amount of plot-movement, character introductions, and lore drops that were done in a natural manner where I didn't even realize how much I was intaking until i reflected rn, is crazy.
weirdly enough, for an abrupt ending that sucks ass, it's still somehow as satisfying as it could've been for smth that got cut. cuz like, they both got the endings that they deserve: the damn pushover of an MC at least gets to watch their roles get flipped where ML is the one who feels embarrassed while MC does NOT gaf, and ML doesn't even get to feel satisfied in messing w MC cuz he confessed to everything LMAOO. like, at least MC didn't get forced into a rushed relationship the way this seemed to be going.
