This is soo sweeet i cant, im so happy right now T▽T
Is this good? Is it worth my time?
It says murim login, is it some VR story where MC logs in and everything isnt real simply a game hes playing? Or is it him reincarnating into one or smth like that?
Everything is real tho, the game is like a parallel world. Like the system work in both world and if he dies in the game/other world, he die for real. In my opinion, it's one of my favorite, there's no romance in site or harem and the MC is funny and strong. He gets stronger through training and hardwork, not just magically get an item then gets strong unlike other stories.
Oh okay, it might be worth a read then. I really dislike storys where the MC is just playing a VR game where he simply gets rich from or gains fame in the real world for the rank he has in the game. I hope you get what i mean. Like i dont want to see MC just playing a game all day long, i might as well just go play one myself
Yeahh, I totally get you. I'm reading a lot of stories like that, like they get in a capsule and play a game with other players. This one isn't like that. It's not like playing/competing the game with other players, in the two world the MC have different roles, and the two world have different stories as well, like modern and historical.
And again i dont even get whats happening
Im asking myself at this point "why tf are you still even reading
I dont understand why authors keep going for this annoying, non logical, smoth brained aproach "TheY WiLl sOoN fOllOW ThE OriGinAL StoRy LinE", what story line are you talking about. The one you have clearly pulverised with your actions?
Its mind boggling for me because these characters are clearly living and interacting with these so called story characters, and very obviously they are making decisions, and their very presence are affecting the original story, so wtf are they on about.
It doesn't make sens because then you are denying your very own existence and everyone elses and your denying every action you have taken up untill that point, even breating, which isn't something that can be true juat because you chose to "foLlOW tHe OriGinAl StoRy"
I get that people will argue and say but she is inside a novel she read and its normal for people to not find it real and have such reactions and bla bla bla, but please her me out. They're living in that world the same way we are in this one, its normal to be confused but years go by and they still stick to this smoth brain aproach.
I love it when the story has realistic aproaches to it, and i think its crutial that the characters react in realistic ways to the plot development. Just because you want to create insecurities and pitfalls for the MC which they have to overcome and get over you cant use whatever tool seems the easiest. Everything being a story and that she doesn't have a place there is the weakest way to go about it, the princ didnt die, the purple haired magican meet his family earlier, a panacea was created, a dragon exists, i think this just proves enough that you are wrong and that the option to "foLlOW tHe OriGinAl StoRy" is out the window.
I wrote a bit too much but i guess it just shows how feed up I am with this trope of "foLlOW tHe OriGinAl StoRy" and of how nonsensical it is (/´△`＼)
Took the words from my mouth! Like how is it possible that authours are able to make everyone multifaceted while having the main character appear one dimensional..... I would perhaps understand if the existence of the MC has not affected major events/turning points of the 'original, because then there would be proof that some things can't be changed thus a possibility of the the story being unchanged has its grounds.
The only manga I believe 'following the original' was done brilliantly is in "Jishou Akuyaku Reijou na Konyakusha no Kansatsu Kiroku" where it wasn't even the transmigrator doing the changes, thus her not knowing what had changed behind the scenes.
When MCs think the people around them, whom they have lived with for years, and even recognising that they aren't acting the same as in the 'original', they should be reminded on how insulting it is for them to think so shallowly of the people whom they claim to love. It's so insulting to stick with your beliefs from what you read rather than the experiences you have gotten first hand (〜￣△￣)〜
Omg I couldn’t agree more!
I mean, at this point we don’t even really know what the “original story” was. We know more about her actual life from her past life than we do about what goes on in the “original.”
Perhaps I forgot after all this time about what the original was even about but for her to suddenly spin off and use that annoys me. Plus, for someone who knows what happens in the novel or whatever, she shows a lack of knowledge for the overall setting of the novel, like about anything… idk in the beginning it seemed like it was a good read but now it’s become so flat…
Yes so true, like how can you invest so much in side characters all while leaving your MC flat as a baking tray. Just as you mentioned it is insulting to the other people shes lived with and who care for her.
I was also just reminded how she keeps assuming she can make the reptile pervert villain on her side, while she clearly knows that he is doing evil shit and has killed who knows how many shape-shifting people just to satisfy his perverted anomalous hobby's.
I need to find something to read that actually has consistency and makes sense, i cant like this
Hahaha yes so true, after completely kicking the original to the curb she pulls out something like "foLlOW tHe OriGinAl StoRy". Im dead wtf
The last 15 chapters have been such a dragggg for me, i just felt sorry for all the time i spent reading it after having left it to marinate and continued untill the end. I dont know if i will continue, for now ill let it marinate again some more
This is so confusing, weren't they in the bath house in chp 13 whhat happened that they are in a castle now?
Forget the fact that its hella confusing to read it, but now the chapters are messed up too?
It seems so cute and fun to read ╥﹏╥
I think Natalia might be the person Keith needs right now. He needs someone who could give him a everyday comon life with no troubles, someone who has a stable lifestyle, stable job, stable friendships and relations with her friends. Simply someone who isn't going through difficult times.
Tommy and Keith might have been deeply in love and it might have worked out after all, if they had been in a better place back when they first meet
(but then again if Tommy wasnt going through shit back then and gone to that bar, they might have not been a thing to begin with).
They needed someone who could support and be there with them to confide in, someone who isn't dealing with as much problems as they were.
Howe was the support Tommy needed back then, he was the best friend and the one person she could always count on to open up to, and Natalia might just be that same person for Keith too.
He has done a lot of shitty things, but i believe that everyone deserves the chance to heal, work on their mistakes, better themselves and become a better person.
For these people it might be a good start, to feel shame from the way they've led their lives up untill that point. Shame and regret is a good starting point.
I wrote it in some other comment but ..
Tbh I could accept him starting over at least if he really wanted to and tried to ! Getting a hair cut and going to therapy but still doing the same shit isn't healing..
Isn't improving.. he even slept with his previous doctor
He's just skipping from one girl to another til he finds one amusing or just giving him some attention..
He's disgusting tbh and now I'm glad Tommy left ..
We needed to see some actual regrets! Some things about him actually admitting he's at fault for ruining things with Tommy and even with the girls he dated before ..
All we Heard was him nagging about not having a healthy relationship and playing the victim when he's the one who refused to have one and ruined it whenever he was close to having one by going back to that chishit whenever she looked his way and not even getting back with her just fucking and letting her goes back to her bf
All we got was him regretting a threesome .. not even a proper apologize to Tommy or some thoughts or regrets for hurting her! And then going back to his usual life of fucking around
And i bet even now if chishit get back even with her husband in the pic he would still run to her ..
And when tommy asked him back then about chi and he said he won't meet her again but the tommy was like there's family involved and friends so you will still meet .. now what ? Why aren't we seeing her around?
And the annoying thing is now he can start a relationship with Natalia just because chi isn't around.. he won't have a chance to cheat but if she was he would ..
but what if chi wasn't around when he was with Tommy? Could have things turned out any different??
And even what if tessa hasn't appeared in the apartment that day.. they were close tbh they just needed a little push .. and what if she found him before chi in that room..
I thought alot about what if
There's alot or regrets tbh and kinda sad but at the same time I'm glad they break it but idk
Maybe i just need some other version when he didn't kiss chi that day and got back with Tommy..
But still it feels like even his relationship with Natalia is random..
Im loving this so far. I love the fact that it doesn't seem to be harem and the MC seems to be loking for only one spouse, the girl who i will assume is the FL isn't Sakura-ing it either, she seems like a sweet down to earth kind and hard working young lady.
The MCs personality so far is very pleasing, i like the way he thinks and he doesn't seem to be full of himself, he just knows it and does it.
If the author started the manhua by showing their past first, how they meet, how they build the kingdom they have today, how they fell in love and how in the end Brian died. Seeing him die after having seen all their hard work and passion for life and eachother would have hit harder because we wouldn't know when they will meet again.
After Brian dies the season ends and the new one starts where a reincarnated Brian is shown and we see how many years have passed, we would already know everything and the feelings we have torwards the story would be greater, i didnt feel anything about it because i didn't have a reason to care about these characters i didn'tknow anything about them for a whole season, until i finally read season 2 where their past is shown.
I think alowing the readers to connect with the world and the characters first is better, because in this order when we see the emperor we will feel his pain of having waited for so many years for the person he loves, we would feel the frustration and sadness of having Brian be in such a weak and helpless state the complete opposite of who he was in the past, we would feel a greater and clearer feling of hate for the emperor's brother and how he made two people who love eachother deeply enemiesin this life, and we would conect more with the story over all in a deeper level.
This is just my opinion if i read season 2 first and then the 1st season after that it would have been a better flow of the story.
What do you guys think?? (=・ω・=)
Story telling doesn’t have to be linear like that though.
There would be no questions left for the readers then. Season 1 is a very good season personally since it left me questioning why Ian seems so important to the cardinal and the king, and that results me to follow the story until the recent chapter. Also, the author's sequencing made a lot of reader's read the unexpected. If we read the 2nd season first, and Brian dies, then we will expect that he'll be reincarnated which is kinda bland compared to finding out that he is the reincarnation of king's lover and answering the question of why the king is kinda protective of him. Letting the readers connect to the characters and the world in the story is good, but that's just it. It's the aesthetic of the world building but would not definitely show the story's plot twists and it's deeper connections to the plot. Personally, the author's sequencing is perfect. Nothing to change. However, we all have different perspectives and views. You're entitled to your own opinion.

This is something I’m genuinely curious about because I think the recent demand /need for immediate answers is a weakness in reading comprehension that’s either a failure in the education system or symptomatic of something. More of the stories within the Yaoi fandom or elsewhere so many readers are dogging on these perceived complex plots when it’s like, no babes, this is just how literature can be written. You can have progressive storylines that go A to B to C to the e ding or you can take some detours, have some flashbacks have some time skips. Sometimes there isn’t an answer for everything since writing can be finite.
Yes, i do see all your points. Very valid ones. Reading your replies did remind me of when i was reading at the beginning and why i added it to my reading list, it was because i was curious, as you mentioned, as to why the king is infatuated with the MC and wth is wrong with this weird blondie. Mabye when i was reading the story with only 1 chapter per fortnight or so, i started to lose the need for questioning and just wanted to get straight to the point of it. I still cant help but feel like i wasnt conected to the story as much as i had wanted when season 1 ended which lead to this dissatisfaction. Mabye i should leave it to marinate for some time and then pick it up again.
The story is good, and props to the author for writing it, and you are right it not everything has to be linear, it would becometo boring then. I just want to share that only after reading season 2 was i left hurt and sad and that i cared for these characters, which overshadowed any other feeling that season 1 had given. I feel like each season deserves and should have the chance to give the readers those feelings so that the authors hard work is more appreciated as it should be.
When i wrote that coment this is how i felt buttttt..... mabye im in need of a reread so that im more in touch with the development of the plot line ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
maybe i forgot something as it has been so long
( ￣▽￣)
what? no, this story is perfect as it is. story that is so straight for what's the beginning and the end, and have no twist is the most boring story of all, and that's what you want?
honestly, I'm tired of people hating on past Ian (Brian) and season 2, just bc they can't understand the purpose of the plot that the author intended. the twist of their real relationship in the past is one of the plot that need to be discovered slowly, and I thank the author for delivering it so seamlessly.
this story, from season 1 till now, is perfect in my eyes.
Hahaha, im not really hating on it, i actually love it. I was just giving a diferent perspective. Mabye you missed my reply to the coments where i explained my reasoning?
I don't hate Brian, i really like his character and how he was build. Im looking forward to seeing Ian in the present gain his strength and allow himself to show the sides of him even he didn't know he had.
I like the replys my comment is getting, i can see how the readers would react and what their opinion is on stories that follow similar plot build.
oh, good. sorry, yeah, i don't see the other comments.
some people just can't stand slow burns, but personally, I don’t mind slow burns stories as long as it's good (this manhwa is one of it).
That was so good. Loved it
