I can only reason the rating is so high for this because the art is gorgeous or somehow it gets really good further into the story. Im 5 chapters in and im already throwing in the towel, its not written well at all.
there's nothing more obnoxious than a character complaining about a cliche of the story they've transmigrated into, while their own writing it just as cliche. I mean seriously, what about this isn't tropey. Being tropey isn't a death sentence, but glass houses man. Calls the original novel a cliche romance fantasy but is a generic villainess power fantasy #－.－) talk about unself aware.
while what Jihyun did was obviously unforgivable, it really bothered me how they treated that so seriously but never Kyujin CONSTANTLY and REPEATEDLY crossing Chiwoo's boundaries, even after he was told multiple times to stop. It was annoying enough to read, but given what happened to Chiwoo, it seriously bothered me that it was treated as cute and endearing.
While Jihyun deserved the consequences, it felt strange to do that but then not acknowledge the double standards for Kyujin.
I know Kyujin did not end up literally SA'ing Chiwoo like Jihyun did, they still started doing the same things, crossing Chiwoo's boundaries and forcing their affection. I actually found Kyujin more grating because Chiwoo very clearly found him to be a nuisance and annoying for a GOOD while. It felt less like a natural affection build up and more like wearing Chiwoo down which to me is just...ugh.
Idk. I got to the end really disappointed he ended up Kyujin because tbh I don't think either of them deserved him. Nobody respected his boundaries.
Why were the same actions of two people treated so differently? Kyujin is treated like a puppy when he violated Chiwoo's boundaries almost as much as Jihyun did. it just gave me the ick so much.
I think Chiwoo shouldn't have ended up with either of them. It felt like rewarding Kyujin for being an incessant, boundary violating, self centered creep just because he didn't go the step further Jihyun did and SA him. Like congratulations of doing the bare minimum, ur still a creep that violates boundaries and forces unwanted affection onto ppl.
honestly I wish it was like some other BL we're they're so divorced from reality of relationships that u can kind of just ignore it.
This series told me to hate Jihyun because of what he did, but not what Kyujin did. It feels so mixed. Do you care about consent or not? at least pick ONE.
Preachhhhh
They both need a healthy dose of "no mean no" frfr
agreed!! I dislike Kyujin, he is pushy and Manipulative in his own way. He never listened.. pushed his affection onto Chiwoo despite Chiwoo telling him no repeatedly. He practically became stalkerish and forcing himself in Chiwoos life even when told to stay out. Im not saying Jihyun was all that great of guy.. and i dont think him and chiwoo would have ended well even if he was the love interest that was chosen. But i do not understand how Kyujin got a pass and made it to be the boyfriend. chiwoo should have sent him packing in the hospital right after he told Jihyun. Kyujin was just as possesive and he wasnt even in a relationship yet... he had no problems fighting over chiwoo claiming he knew what was best and what not. when clearly he had no clue about anything when it came to chiwoo..
praying that his luck ability is going to kick in and he'll miraculously survive this fall. (I mean, surely he's gotta have some ability other than just makes his twin lucky ?? right??)
but realistically he'll probably just fall lmao
He is a soldier bro ,also tae's gonna beat some ass
Is it just me or did the art style change in 47+ ? I thought the art change over the story was just natural art evolution over time, but in particular I feel like 47 and 48 look different, especially in some frames
Am I seeing things?
it definitely did! I noticed it too
Man I thought art was changed long back?? Doesn't old zhenya and new one look diff?? Like in chp 12 and 47 he looks more bulky and more mature lol and taekjoo a bit too
Prince: Me!! I mean you fell in love with me!!
MC: Brother Euuwwwwghhh???
she's so funny I can't lmao
I do hope she falls for him soon tho, I feel bad for the prince hahaha
are the newest chapters official translation? No offense but the other translation goes from just barely bearable to downright unreadable.
25 says official but the next ones don't say
They seem to be the official translation
omg the prince is blushing like a maiden and calling the doctor cause he thinks his crush is an illness!! They're both so sweet ; O ; <3 I hope she falls for him soon too, I think their talk under the rain has opened that door for her
I feel like Taekjoo needs to unpack why his superiors, or someone on his side, set him up to believe Zhenya was his Russian contact. Was it really just an awkward misunderstanding that should have been clearer, or was someone intentionally trying to get rid of him?
wait are the chapters cut short again? or jumbled?
ch71 and early 72 Maomao is confronting suirei and then suddenly it just cuts to the tanuki and the fox??? HUH
also is Suirei really a woman? I get more "dude so pretty he can disguise as a pretty woman" rather than just androgynous woman.
I believe right now she's posing as a eunuch which is why there's such masculine vibes. But... given the timeline... I believe they would check physically when she first came to the court. Particularly as she was working in the inner court.
FINALLY pina is getting some proper backlash and ppl aren't on her side anymore
I cant wait for the final fall of her, it'll be so satisfying
