The maid was fully aware of what was gonna happen, wasn’t she? Whether or not the FL got in bed, showing her the annex meant she was going to learn her hubby has a furry secret.
I know Fourth gave up his feelings for Lucy and acknowledged Chrome, but they really rubbed it in his face with Lucy turning to Chrome and Chrome getting on one knee and all. Have some pity on the poor guy, he’s only just realized he’s the second ML. (￣∇￣")
If it had turned out Brown Black still needed Seojun’s magic ability this far into their career, I would have been so disappointed. But they didn’t need it because they had always been talented and hardworking! The skill helped them through a rough patch but BB has the ability to walk the rest of the path by themselves and we love to see that growth!!!
Honestly, I was expecting something closer to the artist’s previous work, but I’m happy to see that the ML and FL are building characterization outside of the bedroom. The FL in particular is fascinating, with the combination of her terrible family and her conflicted feelings about her (alleged) dominatrix nature.
But also props the ML for not going full simp and dissolving into a wet rag of a man. Just because he’s a masochist doesn’t mean he’s a pushover; he still plays the role of a protective tyrannical prince very well. And he’s enthusiastically confident about being a sub, which is great to see when most titles make the experienced dom be the one to convince the noob sub to do BDSM. Overall, just a great balance of characteristics that don’t make me despair over the intelligence of the ML.
Two religions are actually under the same god? The sun gets its power from the moon? The only person this will ever apply to is the FL?
I don’t usually accuse Mary Sue, but the utter convenience of the FL unlocking a healing ability she never worked for in the same moment some important character is injured is… absurd. (￣へ￣)
From what I’ve seen so far, Loreina is genuinely more compelling as a character than Sienna. I understand why Loreina is the way she is (greed, entitlement, her parents) and how that connects to what she’s going to do next (be a total scheming bitch) to get what she wants (power, status). Meanwhile, Sienna makes no sense to me and I don’t even know what it is that she wants anymore.
Thank you for being the compassionate, responsible adult in our Hyunwoo’s life. Recommending therapy is literally the best thing you could have done after seeing a trauma-induced panic attack, and it shows you’re not just exploiting these boys for profit. (▰˘◡˘▰)
“Well, we can’t marry each other”
The fact you even thought of that is putting up red flags, dude. I have no issues with a brocon/siscon relationship, but if their relationship gets any more… intimate, I’m gonna have to dip.
You know what? I’m happy the brothers couldn’t condemn their fake sister. I’m happy that the years of growing up together didn’t mean nothing. I’m happy that their love wasn’t conditional on Amaryllis being the child of light, because it means their love for Ashtarte isn’t conditional on her being the child of light either.
Yes they messed up. Yes they don’t deserve Ashtarte’s forgiveness. Yes it’s not a satisfying end. But they had real love for a monster in human skin, and I think that counts for something.
I was so ready to chalk up the grey skin tones to some fantasy magic thing, but why is that cake and her dress all grey Are colors illegal or something
My hypothesis for why the FL’s alleged trauma responses (i.e. avoidance, low self-esteem, paranoia) are so annoying is that it’s not clear what triggers her. If the sister was present, we would get it because we know she’s evil. If the ducal family was still neglectful, we would get it because we know that’s bad.
But neither of those things are true at this current time, so the FL‘s flaws feel less because she was forced to be this way by external forces, and more because that’s her natural personality. That makes her less sympathetic and gives her less room to grow out of her flaws.
The story needs to quickly either bring in the sister or show what happened in the previous life that makes the ducal family so bad. As it is right now, the FL is paranoid about nothing.
If it turns out that older blonde lady is targeting Ayla because she wants to make Frede her boytoy, I am going to yurk.
Drawing hands is the worst, but it’s so obvious they just used rendered models and blended it out a lil.
If I didn’t know she was into the Ml, I would have assumed she was trying to humiliate him by forcing him to act as her servant. Someone who can’t take care of a shoe by herself shouldn’t be entrusted with a whole duchy anyways.
If Jeremy had chosen to keep it a total secret or only told Elijah, I would have lost it. As the new duke the emperor does not trust, it’s suicide to not try to prove your loyalty. I also would not have been able to handle the unnecessary drama of more secrets when Elijah already has enough on her plate to deal with. So thank God Jeremy did the actual smart thing here.
Am I the only one who doesn’t hate this mermaid arc? It’s not like it’s sudden; the story’s been hinting at the interracial conflict for a while. And Nadia clearly exists to give the ML and FL a kick in the rear when it comes to realizing and admitting their feelings because honestly their relationship WAS starting to drag.
Yes, Nadia is annoying. Yes, I don’t want to see her and Abigail get together. But the story is clearly doing all of this on purpose, so I’m content to see what they’re going to use Nadia for next.
If I remember correctly, Gavin wasn’t copying what he was reading word for word. Like, I’m pretty sure she would have noticed if he was quoting romance dialogue because it is SO cringe sometimes. The things he was saying were his own words and thoughts, so it’s unfair to accuse him of scripting the whole thing.
Ah the unique pain of a story that’s got a good premise and good characters and pacing and timing… but the art sucks. ╥﹏╥
