mama was in america for over 10 chapters and the one poc character was the tsa agent lmfao— anyway, it was way better than i expected
Don't you love when they pull that shit lol
it’s honestly so fucking hilarious like they’re allergic to drawing brown and black characters or something. every chapter i got more and more confused like atp we might as well be in russia or germany
Nah fr, it gets to a point where it's just pathetic - like is your colorism so strong that you can't even fathom the thought of accurately representing the country you're supposed to be depicting? I try to avoid manga or manhwa set in the states because it's usually just an excuse to draw an unrealistic amount of blonde-haired blue-eyed people
the worst is when it doesn’t start in the states but somehow ends up there and you’re in too deep to drop it. i read chinese novels as well and the overwhelming amount of blonde hair blue eyes i see whenever the states is even remotely mentioned is insane. like damn even if they’re obssessed with depicting yt people, there’s gingers and brunettes too hell they even have a plethora of eye colors
The way they put the *idea* of white people on a pedestal is so sad :( (I say the idea because it's like you said, they're not even representing the white people you would actually see in the states.) Anyways, this has genuinely been cathartic. Most of the time when I point out shit like this people either don't agree (because they're white or Asian, so they've never noticed), or they think I'm overreacting
that part! it’s really interesting how asian culture really sees americans as either blonde hair blue eyed white people or black “hip hop” rappers. there’s really no in between.
but yeah, it’s very cathartic because usually no one mentions these things so it makes me feel like you said, overreacting
the whole smack down of the norther nobel dude at the end their was overwhelmingly underwhelming. like, i blinked and the rebellion that was barely even up and ready was over just like that. it feels like the author themselves got bored with this and just rushed an ending cause although most of the loose ends were tied, it wasn’t very neat
i wanted to push through this, but girl I’m so tired of this dumb broad. I’m at 33 and this is really just reiterating my biggest pet peeves in comics. like, you clearly know that your being alive has changed the “plot” and yet she still so seriously believes this man is either about to kill her or that he’s going to miraculously fall in love with isotta. then!! the fact that this dumb broad has been kidnapped/attempted kidnapping 2-3 times but still maintains ZERO level of caution around strangers.
like what do you mean you befriend some random man that popped up “coincidentally “ only to find out he’s the third prince and feel betrayed like yea duh dumb idiot,you’re literally in danger but still gallivanting around like shits sweet.
the whole runaway plot alone got me heated, not to mention too. how daft she is about everything else.
I was about to start reading this but then saw your comment and decided against it. Thank you for saving me time because honestly, same. I freaking hate dumb MCs like this.
glad i can be of assistance! dumb mc’s ruin interesting plots because they make everything dreadful
IKR. I so agree with everything you said in your comment. I have a problem with exactly the same things but unfortunately, it's so common for MCs to do all of those things and then some (like completely disregarding the ML's feelings and forcefully trying to set ML up with "the original FL"). It's so annoying.
see..i was with it up until around the 78th chapter when the translation came out shit. i mean for fucks sake, the whole thing with the Dang family literally just happened so how tf he ends up “in love” with some rando is beyond me, but whatever.
i could look past it if the plot continued to develop well, however it felt like that was where the decline began cause why tf did he get that crazy over the bird. Don’t get me wrong, i do understand that it became family to him, but ultimately it is still an animal so using it as the reason for revenge sounds illogical. Especially when he could forgive the insane torture they practiced on him because of the war and hightened caution everyone has.
But for him to start killing everyone and going crazy because of the bird just doesn’t fit. and let’s not even get me started on the girl. cause it makes ZERO sense that not only does she believe she can stop him from spazzing with the power of love, but the fact that she’s pregnant? baby, huh? I’d have thought the girl he was around during his travels would have made more sense, not this random chick! I’m literally so mad, i was enjoying this shit only to be disappointed by everything happening from 78-90 like i might as well drop it cause he’s pretty much the enemy of the entire society atp
No listen here, I’m getting mighty sick of zoning in on these stories and getting so hooked only for me to end up on this screen once all updates are completed. give me back my story!!!!
HEYYY! I swear i still has like 100 chapters left wtf? Give me more neow!
HUUUH??? what the absolute hell do you mean “The End”? What the fuck??? nothing was answered, no satisfactory end to the crisis just the end? oh hell no lmfao i wish i didn’t even read this i regret it so bad.
I’m really getting fed up with how the author is slowly trying to white wash James like the fear, trauma and abuse she suffered at his and his families hands can just be washed away with his oh so dutiful “sacrifice “ turning with time has come with. For all the times he went back to the past, all it amounted to was added frustration and obsession on his end and yet throughout it all he knows the BARE minimum about her. it’s sickening.
the actual fact that she’s even entertaining his foolishness and allowing him to have a chance to explain or express himself to her at all is beyond me. the moment i was happy with a new husband that actually cared about me and showed it, I’d never even think to mention a James again. the trauma of course would still be there but there’s no way in hell I’d need to talk to him again so it’s beyond me how she’s even remotely interested or capable of standing in his presence for a long period of time.
Don't worry he will never be...ihe can't be ,he is too self-centred and selfish
isn't white wash when they lighten characters skins or make them white? what did i miss when i was letting this build up??
uh…no it just means to attempt to cover up or wash clean (wash away) the offenses and wrongdoings of the person in question. other than that, the term is also used for many other meanings, most of which just means to cover up or paint over something instead of properly fixing them. it’s not really meant for race or skin tones, but i have heard it used in that sense but i think that maybe something like an unofficial meaning
I’m at 146 and idk if I’m dropping it or just pausing.. Currently i can’t deal with how nonsensical the translation are. one minute it’s smooth and understandable, then the next we got grand husbands and muriel becomes a man while the hot duke guy becomes a female. props to those that are fine with it and can read it with full enthusiasm, but I’m not able to. it’s distracting because then i have to figure out the real meaning or who they may actually be talking to. my brain is fried
anyway, I’m also mad confused at wtf is going on. it feels like it just devolved into hot mayhem with men popping out of the wood works to fall in love with her. the demon king thing was resolved so simply and the drama with the 6 dukes seems to have been forgotten or something it’s not even much about slice of life anymore and more just “which hot guy will try to seduce the mc today!” with the random hot bi lady that somehow became her bff. ugh idk anymore
Just in case there are people reading this only on this site and not on webtoons, this has huge ass chunks of plot missing. even up to chapter 80 there is a lot missing from the group with noah and neo with the blue haired twins alone. may want to check it out on webtoons
