At first I didn't really understand why they were so aggressive towards the father, like I always think second chances are a thing. Now I get it, ugh get the homophobic kidnapper out of here already.
Like idk I like this manhwa a lot don't get me wrong
But this villian just rubs me the wrong way
First of all sangmin just isn't smart constantly revealing his tactic so blatantly thus there's no suspense or mystery as to who it could be so it's just kind of boring in that sense
Like I understand the narcissistic viewpoint and it is true that serial killers will typically go back to the crime scene or taunt police officers to rub their victory in other people's faces but man... They just do it too obviously, like it's just so predictable that it wasn't interesting
Also the author does not at all do a good job of really expressing the amount of abuse and neglect sangmin went through as a result of his family
Like they clearly display a theme where the father constantly verbally abuses and neglects Sangmin and even bumsoo verbally abused him (when he was alive) because he's like the child of an affair or something with his mom (if Im remembering correctly bc I haven't reread this in a while)
I'm not saying that bumsoo deserved to die or that Sangmin doesn't deserve to be punished but if someone is abused and then as a result becomes an abuser (or murderer in this case) then there should be some blame placed on the abuser who started this chain in the first place, we should be more upset at sangmins father and his brother for hurting him and driving to this point
I just feel like the author had the means to make Sangmin a more complicated character where you want to feel bad for him because he's been abused his whole life, and you can feel his desperation to be accepted by his family just for once, but you also can't excuse his actions of hurting others, so you're stuck in this place of he needs help but he also killed people so what do you do??
Just feel like there's so much wasted potential in Sangmin as a character, he's just a boring character with no depth currently
But look at the art is nakyum going to be the lord and seungho going to be the peasant
Riftan is horny and I approve lmao. Ok seriously tho, I like that he's clear about what he expects/wants from her and stuff like that. Also consent king we stan. I like how they portray the FL too. In other manhwa sometimes they don't really show how trauma and abuse affects the FL in order to make them a strong FL. I like that she's more realistic in her portrayal. I really hope that the misunderstandings will stop soon but you can't really blame Riftan bc there's currently no clear evidence of abuse. Also this goes without saying but FL can't be blamed for hiding it because she's a victim and is scared. I really want to see what Riftan does to the dad when he finds out what he's been doing to her. I also hope the soldiers feel guilty for treating her like shit bc she doesn't deserve it.
I don’t know if anyone peeped this but in the earlier chapter her father (May he rest in pieces) had a magician who used healing magic on Maxi after he hit her. That’s why there are no signs. She needs to be seen in public but not with bruises or welts on her body
Yeah I remembered that too. I literally thought "oh he's beating her oh no, but at least she'll have bruises and Riftan will find out". Then he healed her right after and berated her even more and I just got upset bc the abuse is gonna be unknown for even longer :(( I'm really looking forward to how Riftan will find out everything and treat her even better than he already is Father is literally scum, like I feel so bad bc he just absolutely destroyed her self esteem and actually made her think she deserves the abuse.
I WAS LEGIT FUCKING SOBBING FOR THE KING WHEN HE DIED AND THAT EPILOGUE HIT ME LIKE FUCK IF THAT DOESNT GET ADAPTED INTO A SPIN OFF IM GONNA CRY KING LIGHT DESERVES HAPPINESS
I was so convinced that black hair was best boy but .... Why TF is this man so hot I have to reevaluate...
As someone who's read a lot and I mean a lot of isekai stories this one hits diff
FL supporting strong girls like the princess
FL being realistic and calling out the shit storyline in the novel
ML isn't the emperor or prince who hurt the princess in the story
People who wronged her actually self reflect on their actions like wondering if the rumors they were influenced by were true and the father realizing he's a bad father and trying to protect her despite his previous mistakes
I think it's plausible to say that this most likely won't be a harem ending, and the actual ML is a mystery for once, like I hate when you know who the ML is and are just in pain bc you like 2nd lead more, I think they're leading to Daniel being main ML bc of the hints but so far nothing is confirmed and I love it, actual pain to figure out who she'll end up with and all the ML so far are just beautifully built characters
Also I like that she's just a normal person, like ye sometimes I like the OP FL it's a guilty pleasure, but still... She just seems so normal like if one of us read a story and suddenly ended up there, I can actually understand her thought process as opposed to I'm a genius and know everything XD
Wondering what'll happen when Ariel comes back into the story
I'm just so excited AAAAA
Ok I liked brown hair but black hair is getting me with those puppy eyes
i meant to upvote, sorry :!
Np~
While I get that red haired guy is an asshole he's not being an asshole to the ML for no reason. He's being an asshole bc of something the father and the real veronica did. Knowing what the two of them did to the ML in the past life, we know that they're not good people, thus the cousin's hatred for veronica and her father may actually be justifiable. It's just unfortunate that ML has to deal bc she's pretending to be veronica.
However, he's also an asshole to other people. Tripping maids, forcing them into cursing their masters after threatening them... Sure, he may be more of an ass to the ML due to whatever may have happened in the past, but he's also in asshole to innocent people.
Innocent people? Pretty sure that maid insulted him bro
She was literally just asking who he was since she had never seen him before and strangers aren't allowed in that area? He also tried to beat up the MC's knight?
Y'all forgetting the part where after the maids question if he should be there, they start giggling/gossiping and insult him by saying he looks poor for a noble. I also understand that he was an asshole to the knight but that's possibly because he's protecting the enemy (the MC who he believes is the real daughter), hence the knight is also an enemy. I'm not saying he's not acting like an asshole. He is, and he shouldn't be treating the MC and knight this way as they've done nothing wrong, but the MC is pretending to be someone who is evil. How could the cousin possibly know it's a fake, and even if he knew, how would he know that she doesn't want to help the family but is actually planning on revenge? All I'm saying is people in the comment section were pretty quick to judge a character who's mean to the MC without considering the situation. Just wait and see why he's acting like this in the first place, he may have an actual reason.
There's not a lot manga/manhwa where I like the first and second couple equally but in this one I just love them both so much like their vibes are so different but so fun in their own way
