oh my god, the small artistic choices. like the beginning of many chapters where they use famous paintings or artstyles but tie it into the scenery (my fave being when they did The Scream character being clouded with dust to depict Eloise zipping by in the carriage, or the onewhere the maid asked eloise about her relationship w the sergeant and we see massive paintings in a coiple of scenes, looking on to the drama or peeking over the real charactersm’ shoulders to see what’s up). i love the creative libetties LMAOOO. like the geese? love his random ass appearances.
This is absolute gem!
My fave was everything with a duck substituted as the subject. ESP THE DUCK WITH THE PEARL EARING
idk, call me privileged, but smth about parents who seem exhausted by your existence or just look annoyed by you as a person feels so much more devastating than a parent who just blatantly hates you.
both are bad cases nonetheless
facts, tbh. no point in me comparing 2 objectively tragic scenarios
It is just sad that there are parents in there that acts like the 2 scenarios
ugh, not only the crime, but the jail sentencing of the 3 boys resemble the junko furata case. up to the rumors of one of them going to jail for embezzlement and them bragging about their actions in public.
i couldnt even get halfway through the 3rd chapter. the ML is such a self-righteous piece of shit who justified and deluded himself into not giving a fuck about MC’s feelings or autonomy outside of his own selfishness
It’s actually disturbing how awful he is, and I actually love the author’s work outside of the one couple where the ML was a reformed virgin Sexual Assaulter themselves paired up with promiscuous self harming bottom who I didn’t exactly love but at least had depth. This is just standard omegaverse slop and it’s just disappointing
I’ve actually never read any of the others’ work, but due to this one’s high rating I had higher expectations, ripp. I’m also glad to see someone agree with me, bc while i didnt expect this story to flop bc the artstyle is good and the plot could be interesting to a lot of ppl, i personally was surprised by how little ppl are discussing whether or not ML’s character is controversial, much less that it IS controversial (esp given how quickly ppl like to stand on righteousness or morality). like i get that this ML is catered specifically to an audience that loves rlly obsessive characters, but youd expect more ppl who dont like this personality to jump in with a more objective view of ML, like usually on this site there’s always a balance of that in the comments, alongside a party of ppl who love the character but acknowledge that it’s their demented personality that makes the story work so well. last time i checked, this comment section was OVERWHELMINGLY positive about ML’s personality, which shocked me. and i get stories are made for entertainment and not everything is going to have social commentary or give a social view of how fucked up this is from the story setting itself, but it’s like if ure gonna use a social setting like the omegaverse which replicates aspects of real-life’s patriarchal and sexist societies, i think it’s only fair for ppl to therefore use real-life social hierarchies and views to judge them, esp if youre gonna give us an alpha male who treats the other gender like an objectified toy who needs their protection and doesnt know better. i also feel like this story is gonna piss me off bc of how it seems like it’s gonna purely romanticize ML’s personality, with the only person who has the whole story of his deeds being the MC, which will probably lead to every other character supporting the ML and viewing MC’s attitude as unreasonable or even assholey. now ik im judging it early on and i have no way to say if that’s how the story will go, but going off of how the scenes are set up and how MC gives in to ML even after learning what the hell he’s done, it just feels like it’s doomed. . It’s one thing if the author clearly depicts these scenes with more discomfort and turmoil, but it doesnt, which tells me that a psychological narrative or character reflection with ACTUAL consequences or condemnation of the ML was never an intended goal (and ik some ppl will say MC’s obvious anger and hatred is showing those things, but as an author/artist if you really wanted to display psychological unrest, c’mon you’d KNOW and not assume if they really wanted that narrative. like good writing and storytelling are depicted through these mediums, so either they’re a shit storyteller or they aren’t aiming for that message, and if this is an author with many other works as you’ve said, then they know whay theyre doing lol). sorry for the long rant, i just got a lot of thoughts about this manhwa
bro sorry my response was so long, that it’s actually stunningly annoying i iust had a ton of thoughts
holy shittttt okay grandpa. went crazy w those hooks
who tf runs away from someone after a confession
bro id actually become EVIL if someone did that shit to me w
tbh i feel bad for everyone here, but especially for the dad. you rlly just work a shit-ass 9-5 for a family you love but never see only to get swallowed by the cryptic eldritch monster that's been residing in ur resident that ur other baby son knew about, but never wanted to burden you with.
The dad also kept getting his memories erased too.
Fucked up.
Also was it ever mentioned how the little brother had that thing inside of him?
does this mean the dandelion-haired basketball player of a cousin was also royalty in his past life, or does blood and familiarity not tie 2 souls together. cuz realistically, relatives or friends in the current may not exist iin one’s past life. what’s to say two souls ever recycle into the same timeline, either?
the nail marks on kihoon’s palm bc he’s clenching his hands so hard. dick can’t be that good, man, don’t hurt urself over it, fr
