Honestly the author should just drop the romance subplot and just focus on the gore and revenge. Let's be honest here we're all here for the sweet revenge and action not for some shitty romance which intervenes in every action MC takes. The romance is not even low-key but downright annoying and is being forcibly shoved in our faces. Hasn't the MC become an unfeeling being solely powered on revenge so what is putting romance doing? not to mention the romantic interest is stupid, annoying, has no chemistry and is not even useful
right right right! the art style compliments the gore and the sense of despair a lot but with the mixture of this romance it’s just so out of place and unnecessary
i honestly want to see sangwoo with longer hair and bangs
Uhh I don't want to undermine the author or the artist but this story is so cliché and predictable. Like we got
Misunderstood but hot dad
Handsome but arrogant ml with an 8th grade syndrome with a tragic backstory
Villainess transmigrator whose only wish is to survive and not do anything "significant" to the plot and live a life away from the main characters
An asshole and downright evil character
A dumbass emperor
Lack of communication
Clichéd development
A villain background who's not really evil
2D characters which do not feel very human nor do they feel they're going to change
MC is a transmigrator from the future but still continues to do stupid ass shit
Avoiding confrontation to avoid the "plot"
The sparkly BG to make whatever the MC does feel magical
The ml falling for the stupidest reasons
Oh and Have I mentioned the MC being stupid
But on the other hand I still continue to read these villainess transmigrator plot. Ugh I'm such a sucker for these plots like I know it's going to be the same old repeated plot but I still find myself invested
I mostly agree with you, but I wouldn't say the MC is stupid. At least, not yet.
I mean letting an unknown dangerous man in your room, letting him sleep, eat, even hiding him further covering for him when he BRUISED you instead of kicking him straight out and being ignorant of his obv aggressive behaviour is pretty stupid. Let's be real here if he wasn't the ml or stupidly handsome he would've been treated as psychopath or a predator
You have a point there. However, it can be argued that because she knew that he was her father's student, she automatically assumed that he wouldn't harm his teachers daughter whether the duke hated he or not. That's naïve, but not necessarily stupid.
Ok so hear me out on this one. Maybe the way ml turned out had a reason. In the earlier chapter we saw how the young ml got angry how his parents sold him in the name of marriage, but isn't this how it was normally done during that era but now we see that the emperor himself had a very loving relationship with the the empress. Maybe it was in the young ml's mind how he would also fall in love and have a similar relationship with his wife when he grows. It was 'normal' for him to think and hope for this because it was what he had seen with his own eyes. Further when he grew up he lost his loving parents who he had loved dearly and is burdened by the responsibilities of an emperor. Down the line he also had to marry a person he doesn't love nor feels any connection with because as he said it himself she was like doll, unmoving and without emotions and was only limiting his political power and was being used as a pawn by other nobles to limit the emperor. Also she was so perfect and never made mistakes it was bound to make the young emperor who was recently coronated and was still learning feel inferior and annoyed. We also see that he didn't see the empress as a person at all he just saw her as a doll unable to feel emotions and thus kept his distance because he felt she would'nt feel anything regardless of his actions like from his childhood he pointed even the smallest stuff just to spot some imperfection which was obv not the case. Even though I say all this stuff this still doesn't justify his actions as treating the empress as crap and non existent it was his own fault in a way that he was unable to see her abuse or her emotions and was unable to see her as living human. Also this explains a lot why the emperor didn't react at all when she died because in his eyes she was never a living person. That's it thankyou for coming to my ted talk
I enjoyed your Ted talk. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Awwie thanks(づ￣ ³￣)づ
Makes soooo much damn sense, preach!
old man dude shut up if you let everything on your meathead king the country would have been ruined by now
okay let's be real the arth is not a good leader i mean he would be a good captain of guard at most or a commander but as a ruler he's seriously lacking like how he let's daerin do most of the brain work and decision making and solely relies on him to make his decisions into making him into a good leader. my dude these aren't leader qualitites. daerin is the leader here.
that was the point. merls control everything from manipulating the arth. (whispering in their ears) otherwise they wouldn't need an easily swayable meathead royal line as a front to use for controlling the population. merls were long known as scheming etc and as such unlikable to the people. this is also why the arth is surrounded by such a diverse group of people. merls don't want to stand out too much as the only race to be around advising the arth, a coverup.
i really love this villainess going back in time story (also one of the first's i ever read) i mean she doesn't turn into a goody two shoes with just "I wanna survive!!! now lets do more goody goody stupid shit instead of evil stupid shit' and remains calm and calculated. She has a clear objective of revenge and plans out really thoroughly, Instead of being a stupid 'villain" she's a very cunning 'villain" really these types of character makes them more fun rather than annoying. and i say villain but we all know nobody's absolutely just or evil. everyone does "evil" stuff which comes under justice. it's just about the appearance of the person in society and how they are perceived
i cant- cale just keeps getting hotter each episode. just imagining the future action scenes makes me squeal
