author’s asking targeted questions. he refers to the lying disciple of jesus. he targets mc’s lover. all points to author already making his background check on mc. so yeah it’s a “play” between them about who can crack first. as for the mc - i actually like the mc quite a lot - prideful and stubborn definitely but resourceful, quick on his feet. curious of how if this manhwa is going to be turned into a romance. pretty face wasted on a murderer indeed stabby stabby stab
Uhuh. Same thoughts. It's pretty obvious he knows the mc already. I mean, he IS a mystery writer after all. Research/Background check is one of his basic skills. When he went "badum" "badum" I had goosebumps.
I am quite curious about his definition of a "charming villain" because honestly it seems he isn't just talking about himself but Ah-in too. Is he plotting to turn Ah-in into a murd*rer like himself? Only time will tell.
okay some of you who have read the novel do u mind sharing some of your favorite dialogues/lines/moments between these two - i don’t think i can handle the wait (am not hunting down 600 chapters)
!!!!DISCLAIMER A LOT OF IMPORTANT SPOILER AHEAD READ TO YOUR OWN DISCRETION!!!!
Every time they talk with the communication device and they start "complimenting" each other with the sun of our empire or the hero of their land (or smth like that)
also when Alberu presented Cale as his sworn brother and then Cale had to act innocent and everyone beleived he was being fooled by the prince
Or when Alberu went to Korea as the tiger I mean every single time he interacted with Cale in Korea (my favorite was when he said he was his Hyung and kinda argued (not really) with Soo Hyuk)
And the chapter when Alberu opened up to Cale about his identity and the secret of the crown family in the library of the palace (I think it was chapter 486)
And every time Alberu calls Cale his dongseang (is that how you write it anyway when he calls him his little brother)
Actually I love every interaction of them (༎ ෴ ༎)
long rambles. painter of the night’s characters are sexy as fuck but the royalty dude is sooo toxic it hurts reading it. this one has similar artstyle with potn, though the rape-y plot left a lot to be desired at least the main couple are somewhat decent. at this stage they’re both motivated to use each other for money (capitalist kings yay /j) and settle their respective debts but at least i can see both of them genuinely falling in love with each other so cool cool. love a good pwp, now if only every webtoon here is equipped with trigger warning tags
wow you know what the entire time, the love interest is pretty innocent? he confessed, so what. he knows mc might reject him but still he braved himself, even brought some homemade cookies. when he got rejected VERY rudely, he accepted the rejection gracefully. years later the same asshole (i call mc an asshole but i act find him as a character really interesting) found him, approached him and gave him mixed signal, freaking INSTIGATED the kiss, and then rejected him again. you know what? i really wanna see mc repenting. i know both of them are probably endgame but i really wanna see him suffering after the second rejection. it’s only fair that he would have to walk hundreds of miles on his knees repenting bcs god the EMOTIONAL DAMAGE he has caused on the love interest. im fuming. i trust the author though, this story is super well written - if the fact that it manages to incite such a strong emotion within me is any indication
