You know how there's a theory that the hysteria/hallucinations of the girls involved in the Salem Witch Trials was caused by a type of mold in their grains? I wonder if that's what's going on here?
That's true, she seemed to hint at it with the wheat image. And the weather seemed fungus heavy lol. But wb the other symptoms wonder how it'll be explained, excited for it.
It absolutely is ergot poisoning lol. The tell was the funky smelling rye bread. That was the biggest culprit. I bet the blonde saint just doesn't ever eat it at all and that's why she never gets it, or she just avoids the weird smelling/tasting ones.
I mean she is a noble so her workers probably pick out the best portion to serve their masters and everyone else makes due with the leftovers/ the contaminated portion.
DAFUQ DID YOU EXPECT, YOU IRREDEEMABLE DOUCH??????? You gave those disgusting fuckers the go-ahead to do whatever they wanted to him as long as he "didn't die." YOU did this!!!!
I've seen some spoilers, and honestly, I don't care if Jiwook gang-raped Juyeon in the past. You expect me to believe that it was worse than THIS?!?!?! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL. And Jiwook's torture is going to get even worse!
Juyeon is going way too far, to the point that it isn't "justified" anymore (which it's debatable whether it was ever justified at all, given the morally reprehensible nature of rape as a whole, even if done as "revenge" or "Karma").
Why are the best art styles always wasted on the worst stories?????? It's such a damn shame.
As a Degenerate BL reader, yeah, there are some moments where you can sort of ignore the horrible circumstances of a sex scene in order to appreciate the actual sexy parts. But this author seems to LOVE going way too far, making the characters too miserable and traumatized to ignore. They're not having a good time, and neither am I.
Every time I see this comic update, if fills me with dread. It's one thing to enjoy psychological horror/thriller manga--I'm a fan of those genres. But this just feels TOO REAL. Uncomfortably real. Like it's glorifying rape and torture.
The only reason I'm hanging on is the hopes that this comic adaptation is a little different, and Juyeon gets SOME amount of repercussions; if only in the form of severe personal regrets. Like in the Sadistic Beauty BL side story. But I'm not hopeful.
Fellas, is it weird that I'm still on Mok-yeon's side here....?
(Yeah, the rape fantasy is fucked, but he didn't do it irl. And I'd say most people have intrusive thoughts/fantasies about hurting someone they dislike and stuff. I think that's basically what was happening there; except, it was moreso a fantasy about "lashing out" instead of actually "hurting" Nanjo.)
I've seen enough evidence to conclude that Mok-yeon doesn't ACTUALLY want to harm Nanjo. His sexual preferences in the past have been rough, and he 1000% coerced Nanjo into this physical relationship, yes. But he never really desired to physically HURT him.
I honestly feel really terrible for Mok-yeon. Sure, he's been a cheater in the past, and that's shitty. BUT NANJO NEVER KNEW THAT ABOUT HIM. Nanjo just saw a promiscuous dude with tattoos and a BDSM preference, and assumed he was absolute scum [abusing a twink] from the very beginning, without even knowing him.
Mok-yeon was helpless from the very start; he felt he had no choice but act according to the stereotypical villain role in order to get anywhere---have ANY relationship in ANY capacity with Nanjo. And I get it. Nanjo already decided what kind of person Mok-yeon was. If he'd tried to approach him sincerely, he would've ABSOLUTELY been turned down, and that would've been even more painful.
Mok-yeon may have dug this hole, but he had no choice but to dig it.
....and now this poor guy is having a full-on mental breakdown.
I really hope his character isn't pushed into Irredeemable-territory.
Yes
I really hate this trope; the person on an enemy side that doesn't even want to fight, but ends up fighting them anyways because of "love". A Self-Fulfilling Villain Role, I guess? BOO!
:(
PLEASE tell me that the prince overheard that!!!!!! Please, it would be so satisfying!!!!!
DUMP HER ASS ALREADY!!!!!!!
I gave it a shot, but I'm not a fan of this one.
I found the villains TOO annoying (uncle, cousin, asshole ML), and at first I couldn't figure out why---after all, villains are supposed to be un-likeable, duh. But they're just TOO stupid.
The ML is contradictory (sees her for the first time in many years, "Oh, I can't stand this girl"-->goes out of his way see her again). So is the uncle (supposedly he proposed to the aunt and loves her-->acts like a total dick to the aunt).
Also, every villain hates the FL pretty much immediately, and their reasons are either completely unexplained or paper-thin at best. A good villain still has some sense of reason about them, however flawed; but this is just dumb. If they had fleshed out those characters a bit more, I think it could've been a better read.
I wouldn't have minded if the uncle and sister didn't like her, but were still humans capable. After all, I feel like sometimes we just don't like a person without sound reasoning and that prejudice keeps us from seeing them in a positive light. But to have the uncle be a villain? I'd prefer if they kept him morally ambiguous, and wanted to marry her off so she was out of sight and he could have his "happy family" with just his wife and daughter.
I don't understand how an uncle so old can hate on a child so much, it's stupid, but I'd at least understand it for the daughter.
She's the daughter of a kind woman, so why is it that she basically shows no resemblance to her mother? I hate when stories don't add depth to characters that show up often simply to make them easy to hate. I'd prefer it, if over the years she grew fond and was starting to like her and see her as a sister. But felt uneasy due to the close relationship the mother and FL have with each other. Along with the fact, the guy she has a crush on, is showing interest in her. To feel inferior to someone, when you're the one that has more, she'd be so much more interesting with all of her insecurities making it the reason she acts so nasty after they were almost real sisters. After all this, it'd be nice if she matured and they could be real sisters. But she's just meant to be a villain, so I doubt she'll grow on us
(I dropped at Ch. 12 since the art and plot seemed fun but the story is too basic and is following the same premise of every cut and paste slop out there. If it gets better, let me know) ┗( T﹏T )┛
Ohhhhh he CRAZY crazy
