Bro we know what you are. Kissing willingly every chance you get isn't practice bro.
With the way he's asserting bongsoo is his so adamantly. He's saying back off bitch, this man is mine. I like this side of Mr. Yoo.
You may have a bestseller, but our gag manga has NO ETHICS!!
Absolutely crying laughing at this.
I weep into my hands. This man has already made the choice to sacrifice his love for duty and simply doesn't want his grandchild to have to do the same, no matter what the consequence of that would be. I respect him, he's already given up on his love despite clinging to it for all these years.
Deserves better, but I'm sad we'll never see him attain that happiness (unless the artist wants to continue this story in another work). I wish his fictional self well, he deserves to be with someone emotionally available and actually loving.
Of killing the silly little mage with a sword like fuck your magic meet my fucking blade
Just keeps getting better and better this shit is just *chefs kiss* absolutely stunning, the scenes in the rain are so reminiscent of dramas.
Not since his preteen but now that he's 'developing' the kid not to mention he's straight up a high schooler still dude is a pedo through and through. Fuck if he thinks this is true love ew the guy stinks.
But I'm so concerned about what he means by 'you're so fucked, seyeong' at the end of ch 41. Does he mean that about his unhealthy attachment towards him snowballing into something real or is he running a reverse scam on him but irl. Oof. I'm intrigued.
I wonder if writing this the author reached some point of self awareness about the backstory
He sleeps with his lawyer that he is in overwhelming love with lmaooo
Have the same energy as dudes who say 'shes not a child she's a 3000 year old dragon' meanwhile said character acts like a child.
I always find narratives like these very iffy. They skirt past grooming accusations by ensuring the younger person is the initiator and desirous of a relationship and showing that the older does everything in their power to deny that relationship until they're pushed to a point, relent and grow to be romantically involved with someone they've raised since that person was a child/in childlike state (usagi drop blueprint). I don't think the author is a pedo for doing this, but this trope definitely eeks me out.
As for the weird comments saying 'imagine complaining on an illegal site' I think media criticism should flourish in all spaces because it helps create conversations about narratives that endure in the wider culture of storytelling, regardless of where the conversation takes place. By their logic itself, criticising a media work on this website has no tangible effect on the author themselves, and instead remains purely amongst audience, with whom I believe these conversations should be had in the first place. I hope fans like myself who find this backstory repugnant will not engage directly with the author on a personal level. They are free to do as they wish with their narrative, and readers are free to criticise them without causing them actual harm or mental agony.
I am a fan of the present day dynamics of the couple in this manhwa, so will continue to read it. However, looking at the raws definitely makes me feel freaked with why the author chose this specific backstory when they could've written another equally impactful backstory with just as pervasive but more positive tropes.
But who cares right, after all, we're on an illegal site anyway. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Just to ensure that the slightest human decency from a consistently sexually violent and generally aggressive man makes him fall in love is unforseen levels of crazy.
