What a random side couple lol it came out of nowhere
Would have made more sense with the blonde friend
Also, I'm pretty sure side story 2 and 3 and switched up
I still don't understand why marrying each other wouldn't solve most of their problems. Is it just me who's a dumbass or am I missing something ╮(￣▽￣)╭
It involves the imperial family and the other factions so it’s more complicated than that. You’re right it would but the blondie(MC) mother who’s high in power including with the other factions wouldn’t leave them alone, so they’d need to deal with that first, then the King which I think would be easier.
Yeah, I understand why the mom would still be a problem, but I feel like she's a problem in every scenario because she's just that evil. At least they wouldn't have to hide like that if they were openly together. But I guess I see why the author is going in that direction. Just seems like a more complicated path (￣∇￣")
The mother k1lls everyone who gets in the way of her plans so if they were seen together ML and the people around him including the people who would support him to become king would be in danger then if they (the nobles who support ML to be king) get attacked by the queen like assassinated or their wealth decrease. Worse situation, ML d1es or gets poisoned and sick.
It does seem a dramatic path but the most realistic out of all, if they just get married and the author who had described the Queen as a dangerous women disregards that just for the romance between the two, the story quality would be even more unrealistic and honestly crappy
True id rather read a strong based storyline than one that focused mainly on the romance and discarded the different aspects of life
when the prince becomes king with absolute authority marrying could solve all the problems but at the moment he is prince and nobody knows he is omega
Above comments are right, also because marrying e/o would be against what the factions wanted. Which is herace family hogging the power if etty ascends the crown (cos obv more power would be given to shar for being dominant as explained by empress) and if shar became emperor, the aristocratic faction would be supressed.
Wow that was so shitty from the uke. It's very disappointing that the author is going in that direction for creating conflict. So unnecessary and irritating
This author is a master of sensuality. The way the characters look at each other, touch each other, love each other... Never have I felt something so deliciously sensual.
And the plot makes it all the more exquisite.
You’ve described exactly what I wanted to say. Their love made me breathless, the way they held each other, a head on a shoulder, the clutch of their fingers. I don’t think I’ve ever read something so…. painfully beautiful.
That was such a tense read, and ngl my worst nightmare. The scariest thing about this story is how real it felt. Toxic relationships such as those DO EXIST in real life. Lies, manipulation, gaslighting, love-bombing, poor self-esteem, shame, violence... The author did such a good job in depicting their toxic relationship. The loop thingy was definitely some sort of metaphor for this never-ending cycle of toxicity. In real life, it's really hard to get out of those kind of relationship. It's no one's fault really, because they both have psychological issues. And that's also exactly why they ended up finding each other.
Damn this is so fast-paced and disjointed haha can't believe all of this happened in only 35 chapters lol. This was legit the material for 3 seasons at least.
Can't really get attached to the characters either cuz you blink and they're already on another arc. Such a shame cuz the art is gorgeous and the plot has potential. I beg you author-nim, please just take your time exploring each element of the story. We ain't going anywhere, I swear.
Damn, this story had all the elements to be something great : hot and interesting characters, great angst potential, power bottom, great sexual tension, nice plotline ... and somehow, the author managed to use all those elements in the weirdest way possible to waste it all.
This could've been the next great ennemies-to-lovers spy x mafia story to redeem the debacle that was Roses and Champagne. But no. Instead, we got a confusing plot (sorry but all the spy elements make no sense whatsoever), weird sexual tension moments (like wtf was this train arc with the mc just watching is comrade having sex with random girls next to him???), an awful sex scene (honestly, all of that waiting for the culmination to be the mc getting raped while drugged is awful beyond words) and a very predictable plot twist (like sorry author-nim but it was so OBVIOUS from the beginning that he was the bad guy all along).
Idk if it's just the manwha that weirdly adapted the novel, but this is such a disappointment...
Well, that was a hot mess.
I can see what the author was going for, but the execution was just NOT IT.
The cabinet thing was so unecessary and unimpactful. Like it didn't bring anything to the story. I hate this I-secretly-know-you-since-childhood trope, even more when it brings nothing to the table.
Not excusing what he did, but the red-head guy was obviously a victim of rape and drug abuse. Like wtf did the author think with creating this character? What happened with him choking the sex offender? He should've received justice and not be antagonised. What a badly-written villain. I just feel pity for him (even tho I agree that he did something despicable to mc). I won't even comment on the other doofus.
The drugging and sexual assault by the childhood friend was so UNECESSARY LIKE WHY EVEN THINK OF THAT AS A PLOT DEVICE. That's just messed up. And like the mc seemed to have a moment of clarity in the last talk-show about not talking to a friend who has feelings for you out of respect for your bf. Where did this clarity go? In the trash, like all the rest of the plot it seems (and where soobin belongs as well).
And don't even get me started on the main characters and their love story. So lackluster. The only redeeming quality is the art, which is nothing exceptional either. Quite poorly written story if you ask me.
