Read a couple comments and do agree with people who find it uncomfortable with Rurin as FL. MC is 30-34. He mentioned he found Rurin an orphan and still acts like a baby so why did the creator decide it was as okay to put them together romantically when MC is aware in the beginning she’s a child. The red flag did started with the girl who have a crush on a very much older man.
There’s also a part where she drinks beer, but I still see her as a kid. Alcohol are meant for adults. Despite of that, there’s no certain age set in some countries around the world. Even if there is one, it’s universal that there’s minors out there who drinks for the pressure, the curiosity, the fun of it or as a way to rebel the law.
Relief her adoptive brother isn’t her love interest. The ice boy hearing wedding bells is so cute. Kind of depressing he’s 2nd lead, but the ml is equally just as cute with MC. Can’t she just take both so everyone can be happy.
The system needs to give the FL more time. There’s 10 potential MLs, but a year to know each one feels very rush imo. Hoping the MLs have their own individualities.
Based on the promo and looks alone, I’m going to assume either crown prince or magic tower owner. The fortune teller and duke are cute too but they give more brotherly vibe. If the twins weren’t her brothers, they would have a higher chance. The hair colors gives it away. It’s usually Blond, White, or Black and sometimes Brown…justice for brown hair and other hair color MLs
1 year is 12 months so with 10 ML she will only have 1 month to get to know each them per person and how do you truly get to know someone in so short a time, but it’s gonna be funny to see, I hope. If it’s just stress after stress I’m not gonna wanna finish T.T
This is the one! NO romance, but at a cost. MC is truly an aro representative that shows romance isn’t everything someone needed in life. Sometimes you need yourself or people who understands you.
He’s happy with his life as it is. I like how indifferent he is to others. They are the rude ones and it’s funny how they find it shocking when they receive the same energy back like he’s the bad guy.
It just sucks he doesn’t a very good support system. It must be tiring to have everyone including his own family members over stepping his boundaries. Ngl almost every characters are unlikable except the MC, the god of the universe and the bartending girl who specializes in ice magic.
Majority of characters here act like having a partner and children are the only status you can have to archive in life and find happiness. MC is doing fine with his own happiness and he knows that a romantic relationship isn’t for him. I’m rooting for him to have a single happy life in peace til the very end, but with better friends at least.
This is also opinionated, but the most unlikable character I find is the mother. She is selfish for guilt tripping him when she already has two grandchildren. It’s not like it will affect her in any way or form compared to the MC. He will be the one stuck in a one sided relationship again and it won’t be just him that is unhappy. His mother should have pride that MC is healthy, smart, successful and happy. What more can a mother ever want for her kids.
Exactly! He’s a successful entrepreneur and he helps his family, his parents should be proud. They already have grandchildren. I know Japan isn’t know for their representation but please let him stay single. Isn’t that the whole point of this story?
Yes! The whole story would be completely pointless. If the title, story, and the MC were written differently, then there’s no harm sprinkling in a little romantic interest. But the romance part has to be written well to be enjoyable. Tbh some stories can be better off with platonic friendships.
Honestly I don’t mind that there is a het side couple in BL/GL. It’s not like they’re the main focus. The only issues I have is when queer characters are turned “straight”.
This is why I don’t mind it when characters that were once in a straight relationship went into same sex relationship. Not the other way around bc it feels like previous relationship the character had is a “phase”
Anyways, that’s my opinion. It’s refreshing to see both sides in same story setting bc at least the writer made an effort to make it inclusive.
But, I think it’s also fine having just only gay characters in BL/GL bc it’s a safe comfort zone. Due to the numerous amount of media that solely focus on straight romance or just adds it over queer romance. What draws the line is queerbaiting. Straight is universal as it is.
I mean, i do get your point but bisexuality exists too, that's a thing, dating same sex people and then not same sex people doesn't mean they aren't queer
The demon king isn't even involved with the sacred messengers tho. He is just using them to get life force.
assuming someone dating the opposite gender after being involved with the same gender(?) makes them not queer is actually really weird
and while i think its fine to have BLs with just gay characters, people complaining about this particular one having a straight relationship in it is such icky behaviour genuinely
I know, hence the quotations marks of “straight” and “phase”. I think we’re on somewhat a similar wavelength. It’s the way I organize my thoughts.
Bi people are valid as queer no matter who they’re dating. This is coming from one. But when it comes to eye of the general public, which one is more acceptable? Definitely the “straight” part. I want the “gay” part to be accepted too…
It is weird. But part of it is normalize while the other part isn’t. If you get what I mean. Like only heteronormative is accepted and anything else besides that is invalid.
It’s a comfort zone as I mentioned. I do agreed it’s a little out of pocket to dislike the princess right off the bat. She didn’t do anything for me to dislike her nor she’s a bad person. I might take it back if she is.
Everyone is on the same wavelength with the plot twist and felt the betrayal of MC’s twin sister. This is too funny.
This is truly a gem and underrated manhua. It is very different from True Beauty, but similar concept. Personally, this manhua is far better and its title matches the story well.
The MC starts off photoshopping herself and instantly gain popularity online bc of her skills for her fake beauty. It’s not overly artificial.
Over time, she slowly gain confidence and embraced her true appearance. You don’t see a lot of MCs with facial features that have flaws especially on girls. This is what makes this manhua so special imo.
There’s quite a lot going on in the story so buckle up. It’s not bad and I find it entertaining. Overall, it’s an enjoyable read. Its unfortunate there isn’t extra chapters.
They’re so cute and funny, but what caught my attention is mc’s monolid which made him ever cuter
He looks the same as his original self. The difference are eye color and hair. Don’t really see why he’s complaining that his og body looks better when there’s color contacts and hair stylist.
The story was based on novel. In the novel you can clearly imagine how he would looks like in his previous life and the new one as Raon. As the novel described his previous self as a very handsome man and then he reincarnated with completely different visual, as a reader of a novel without any visualize drawing, you can easily imagine that. But I guess, in manhwa it was kind of difficult to deliver "how his face" looks like before and after incarnation through drawing (?)
Yes it’s the manhwa’s art delivery of MC’s visual I was pointing out, not his novel’s counterpart. When you compared his original first appearance before he switched to On Roan, it’s hard to tell in a glance
MC hair starts off similar to On Roan’s and the eye shape didn’t help either. What did helped was when he mentioned his eye color. I had to scroll back up lol.
The subtle difference is MC’s original face is somewhat mature looking and On Roan has a baby face. That took a few moments…
I didn’t read the novel but I’m not going to disagree with you on it. I’m sure he’s described very handsome if I read the novel first than the manhwa.
Sorry for the long response. I guess my complaint was due to the fact that I had to take my time to compare them visually and didn’t like MC complaining about how boring On Roan is when they look so similar at first. I suppose it’s the art style…
Where can we read the novel?
The series is still starting off and somewhat slow right now. Hoping it improves along the way. There’s different routes and each route has different versions of Lena and Leo whom the MC possessed which is interesting. Maybe there will be a hidden one too as a twist.
It does kind of feel fast paced from introducing one route to another and back since MC failed a few times too soon. It would be easier if the creator makes him stick to one route. He also doesn’t seem too bright, but he didn’t start out as perfect or op which is refreshing. Makes him feel ordinary for someone who got isekai. Hoping he does learn from his previous mistakes and improves.
