I said before that I don't think an actual romance with the mc could ever happen, as this is a comedy based on a running joke, so any romantic development would change the genre, but.....the genre is actually changing??? Like there are still comedy chapters, but there's more focus on an ongoing plot so, maybe the believers will win this one idk
When I read an omegaverse work, I'm like "Yes, yes, this all makes perfect sense. Of course his pheromones would do that, of course this society functions lime this, this world is perfectly logical and there is nothing inherently sexual going on", but then I read a Dom/sub verse work and it's like. so fucking stupid. How would that even work. Why is your society based around a kink. Who's in charge who let this happen.
This story is heavily focused on their inner thoughts, emotions and subtleties of their relationships. I think that's really nice and intriguing, but the lack of outer plot points makes it really difficult to follow chapter after chapter.
Basically if you binge it, it's great, but then a new chapter drops a month later and you have no idea what's going on. Idk how many chapters this has, but I'd wait until they're all uploaded
Sorry, I'll be seriously pissed if Minchan and Seoho become one. I know it's romantic, I know it's the most emotionally simple way to resolve the conflict between him and Bihwan, but it'd be terrible story writing (not that I think it's going there! Just ranting really)
Minchan isn't Seoho, he isn't even a reincarnation of him. He's his own person, yet his entire life has been manipulated, to make him a good vessel. Bihwan was obsessed with bringing Seoho back, at the cost of Minchan and now he sees his motivation mirrored in someone more dangerous than him.
The best ending I can think of is Seoho's soul being freed, Minchan's fate being left up to him and Bihwan grieving properly.
I'm 100% sure Lysbett is acting with good intentions, but I think that her idea of what's good is something Sylhan would be against. Maybe she believes she's saving his life by destroying his memory, because what he knows would threaten the lord of Khalak, maybe she wants to protect her house and find Sylhan's memory loss a forgivable side effect.
Either way, while I don't think she wants to hurt Sylhan, she wouldn't do anything to free him from slavery. She wants him to act like a friend, get comfortable in his position, however unfair it might be.
I love Cale, he's like ooooh I have this selfish lazy scheme and then it's always just helping people and being kind to them.
I know some people take these thoughts of his at face value, but c'mon!! He could've had much more peace of he hadn't involved himself at all. He practically made himself the centre of international politics, how is that peaceful in any way? I personally think he's deluding himself, because he doesn't want to feel burdened by those expectations of virtue. I'm not even saying he's this selfless hero people see him as, but instead of caring for his own peace, he cares for the peace of everyone.
Wwwwwwait hold on why's there a tragedy tag, I'm not on board with that :(((
I said before that Yuri is now officially dead, but now we're officially beating the rotting corpse of Yuri with a bat. "My feelings for you and Her Majesty are completely different." "If they're different, which one is stronger?" Just pull the trigger for the love of god.
YES!!! YESSS!!!! YESS!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Obviously, confessions are usually the most important part of any romance manhwa, but in this story specifically, it had an extra weight!!
This isn't just two people realizing they love each other, this is Penelope breaking the curse she thought would follow her forever!
Since chapter one (and her previous life) she had no one she could trust. This isn't because she's your classic shut off heroine, but the opposite! Looking at the whole plot, Penelope tries again and again to out her trust into people who disappoint her or betray her.
She thought she would die if no one loved her, accepted her death, yet when she survived, she decided to try and live despite everyone. I think it's perfect that he came to her, that he's there to convince her of his feelings.
I remember reading the start of this manhwa as it released and the relatable feeling of isolation was potent in every chapter, yet now, there's the feeling that no matter what happens, Penelope won't have to face it alone. I LOVE YOU PENELOPEEEEEEE ASTTGAGAGSJEJSKSKKAKAKA
It's crazy that someone can read the "breed, milk and finger as many of the trapped farm animal boys as possible" manhwa and wonder about what healthy monogamous relationship will be the end game.
Actually really good, the first two chapters made me wary, as they seem really rushed and I thought that if the whole story will be like this, it won't be worth it, but it gets a whole lot better immediately afterwards.
The mc is great, he's obviously badass, but he still managed to be unique imo. While he wanted to leave Murim, it was more so out of convenience than any guilt, so the brief moments when he relishes in fighting are exciting. I like that he's sometimes fooled, as it goes perfectly with his character. He's very wise, really intelligent, but he's kind of lazy to plan anything too far ahead. He's so kind with his daughter, I'm glad they aren't pulling any thundered bullshit and just let them have a nice relationship.
I like both the old men, they're great, they're cute and they're cool. I think they both should be a bit more responsible for their sects, but then there'd be no story haha.
Samtae is god. Samtae is peak. His progress is soooooooo satisfying. I think it's impossible to make such a satisfying protagonist, as improvement is obvious there, but with this punching bag side character it's peak. He's so funny, but he's also really cute with Sumi. Give him back his hair though pls.
Namgoon girl.... even ignoring her typical design an personality, she suffers from "female side character in an action manhwa" syndrome. It shows itself when a female character is supposed to be strong, is said to be strong, is admired by others for their strength, yet loses every fucking fight. The last time she won, it was in her introduction against a group of weak bandits. Can't we just.....can't we just give her one win???? I know her grandpa said she's incompatible with Samtae so that's why he won, but so far she's incompatible with everyone?????
I do wish the eyes were drawn little differently, all the characters look a little crosseyed all the time.
