So, the brother did do everything they accused him of? He did steal from and cause great harm ro the ML, and he did cause the death of all those soldiers? But it will be forgiven and fogotten because he did it for his sister, rhe mc? If this is really the case, then it is still betrayal. He sacrificed backstabed someone he supposedly considers a father figure.
The mom, who was always hesitant to sign a big contract, was quick to agree to sign a contact with an actress she doesn't know? She was willing to let a stranger into her son's one-person agency. The same agency that is supposed to have all his funding and assets. The same agency that just started, yet this strange woman already knows about. Come on , mom!
She's too kind and trusting. Just because seol mi showed a little goodwill to her, she decided to trust her indefinitely. Maybe after seung guk grew up a little, they'll start listening to him. His still a 4 year old child so ofc they're not even thinking of asking for his opinion.
The man is an actor.
If only Raon were there to give him the deadpan look before calling him out.
Broke millionaire mentality. We love it. Cale raising him to be just like himself.
I never understood how being an illegitimate child made a person a half-blood. That term comes up quite often in this genre. He is their half brother/sibling , but it's not like he has less of their father's blood. I have also seen stories where all of the kids are born to different mothers/wives, yet they still call the illegitimate children half bloods. It doesn't matter if their mothers (or fathers in certain stories) are nobles, illegitimate children still get called half bloods. I'm confused. Half as opposed to what? Pure? Blue? Most of the illegitimate children in this genre still have heir and successor rights. The exact same rights as their legitimate-born siblings. What do people mean when they say the illegitimate children need to be shown their place? The heir is being chosen by the father based on ability and capability. Everyone has to prove themselves. Also, shouldn't the fathers be offended? The children that they decided to have get called half bloods and dirty blood, yet the noble and proud fathers stay silent and think of it as a test? Be foreal.
Maybe half blood is the closest translated equivalent in English.
trueee it’s the parents fault especially that a-hole father istg #－.－)
Right. It's not like he conceived himself. The least the father could do is take complete responsibility and say so himself.
Essentially, just like most traditions and cultural norms, it's just bullshit.
But the reason the kids are half bloods and illegitimate is usually because their mother is the one tainting the blodd. The father/patriarch is never at fault. Even in cases of rape. It's the woman's fault always. (I don't agree with this just explaining the reasoning)
So basically because his mother didn't marry his dad and because she's not froma good family and (i can barely remeber but probably a prostitute or a maid or something) the child's blood is automatically tainted.
Pretty stupid but that's how it is in these stories
Yeah, it's crazy, but that's how these stories go. I just hope no one truely thinks like that in real life, but there are always some.
You mean to tell me that while the mom doted on the MC and the dad doted on the adopted daughter, they both neglected their eldest son from the moment he was born! He didn't see his family for the first several years of his life, yet the mom is surprised that he "still blames them after all these years." They didnt even realize they neglected him until he was already grown! This just became another story where the parent we should root for is neglectful to their other kid(s). I see why the family dynamic is messed, and why the kids don't feel close to each other or their parents.
At this point, Ed gonna have to marry all three or be single forever to avoid the world ending. They not letting him go.
I still prefer Lucy being a little sister though.
You mean 5? (At least for now) Also, the prophet mentioned he would ascend to the position of patriarch, so he'd need to carry on with the bloodline but given the situation I think he'll stay single and have his sister or her potential children be his successors
I should have known there would be more.
In the first chapter they were fighting the Demon King,in his original world he couldn't clear the game either,so the boss fight must e unclearable,Taylor alone can't handle the boss fight, so He must lead the boss fight ,then after serving the purpose return to his og world
Who's the 5?
Janica, her BFF who helps the teacher(forgot the name), Lortelle, Lucy and the saintess
Oh. He only seems close with Janica, Lortelle, and Lucy. Does he become close with the other two later on?
Idk, I'm reading the same manhwa you are. But all 5 of them like him romantically
That's usually how it goes with these harem tropes, it's not about who the mc likes but which girls like him. MC tends to either be depraved and want every single one of them in ecchi or pornographic mangas, or he suffers from nice guy syndrome and is annoying how passive and a goody two shoes he is, and even though he never states to love them romantically he ends up accepting the feelings of any girl who confesses to him cuz he doesn't know how to say no.
Then there's mangas like this one (I'm assuming), where they don't end up as a harem, but through out the story there are multiple love interests and it's not made clear who he'll end up with until the very end of the story. That's the harem part of it, that at some point there are multiple girls pinning for one guy.
I kinda have a hard time sympathizing with the MC. This may be insensitive, but she treats and carries herself like she believes she is the most unfortunate person in the room. A prime example of this can be seen when we are learning the back story of the ML. He was literally physically and emotionally abused by his father since birth, traumatized by being sent to fight in a war at young age, further traumatized by seeing all of his friends die, pushed off a cliff by his brother, and stigmatized by the entire kingdom all his life. The MC actually tries to compare what she went through to his trauma! I don't mean to diminish her experience, but most of her heartache came from trying to date all the men she knew the ogfl dated in the game. Was there really no one else? It seems the bracelet only works on the men the ogfl dated in the game which is why the ML seems to be unaffected.
While it is not hard to see why the MC is sad, the sympathy I am supposed to feel naturally for her feels forced on me. Like the author is screaming pity her pity her. During the scene where the wolf tells her she has been through a lot, I could only think that compared to the main characters in other stories, the ML in this story, and the commoners in any story (keep in mind kids are being kidnapped for experiments in this story), she has lived a pretty decent life. She has wealth, status, and loving parents. If she went to her parents for ideas and used her 21st century knowledge, I am sure she could have turned some of the rumors around.
The MC can also be a little insensitive at times. She clearly hurt the ML and his brother's feelings. I believe this is why the ML said no to marrying her that day. Although she had some points when it came to status being a barrier, she casually degraded and ridiculed the ML's brother for wanted to stop the rumors. If it wasn't for some weird grand plan to keep the MC by his side, I would have understood why the ML's brother left.
Yes!
I don't quite agree with these misery olympics you're putting on. The "someone else's suffering was worse so you how can you feel so hurt" mindset is so wack.
Why do people need to reach some kind of misery threshold to be worthy of sympathy?
I think you are misunderstanding me. I may not have explained my thoughts clearly enough. My point was that rather than letting us feel sympathy naturally, it feels that we are being constantly reminded that we should feel sympathy, even when we are learning about the backstory of someone else. The constant reminder to pity the MC, in my opinion, comes up at inopportune times. It's like if you were telling someone your problems and they always managed to find a way to make it about themselves or their problems. After a while, although you still feel bad about what they went through, you are no longer as sympathetic. Of course, all this is just my opinion. I could be wrong. I read a lot of stories in a day, so I could be looking too into things or not into things enough. This is just how it came off to me. I wish I could explain better.
What's up with MC's letting really bad characters go without any repercussions for their evil deeds? These characters kill thousands if not million and get away scotch free because the MC feels a little bad for them. The princess tortured and killed so many innocent people. Imagine how many homes were broken and how many families couldn't bury let alone say goodbye to their loved ones because of her. The dead couldn't rest in peace. Households probably lost their primary providers. In the past, Roel lost everything even his sister because of her. But, because her father hurt her mom, she gets a pass while thousands of commoners, who had nothing to do with her family's internal conflict, die without justice. She is just as bad as her father, especially because she had no remorse. She would not have made a good empress in my opinion.
I think ch.27, does explains a bit of why Leegon is the way he is. In my opinion, it's not a simple as him being immature. It seems he started traveling the jianghu at a really young age with his father's mindset, but he was met with nothing but pain and betrayal. He said he never saw the jianghu his father talked about. In other words, he never truly saw or experienced the righteous side of jianghu which led him to believe that his father was chasing a dream. In the unrighteousness jianghu, only his mother's methods worked which led him to father deny his father's ways. But as pointed out, he loved his father the most, so creating a new jianghu maybe the only way, in his mind, that his father's ideas can be true. Him creating a new jianghu, while reckless and immature to some, is his form of rebellion. In my opinion, it is a trauma response of being forced to mature to quickly. When you are forced to mature, you have your own ideas and stick with them even if it goes against everything everyone else says. Maybe he would have turned out differently if his parents or at least his father traveled with and shielded him more. His parents don't seem to understand this. His mother thinks he turned out that way because of her blood, and his father thinks he is still maturing. In reality, he was just hurt and never channeled those emotions properly. Maybe that is why he didn't want to use his father's sword. It reminded him the "false" preceptions he once had and that his father still has. This also might be why he like Charyeon so much. She reminds him of his father who "he loved the most." He he teaches her the thing he learned, so she doesn't get hurt.
