I FOUND THE NOVEL

it seems like "yura hyung" has got a case of both DID and Dissociative Amnesia. and i've got a few passing thoughts to note to myself and whoever's interested.

DID involves a lack of connection among a person’s sense of identity, memory and consciousness. so a diagnosed person possesses less of a personality, it's devided and developed into either docile or extreme extents of the person's united consciousness as a coping mechanism to traumatic situations. the way these feelings and ways of thought are presented by each alter differs to the nature of the feeling itself and where it stems from and is not to be confused with a foreign personality.

in this case, both aspects of "yura hyung" are real. and i believe one represents the desire and impulsive behaviour he has forced himself to downplay/overlook/suppress throughout his life, whereas the other stands for his conservative nature, the image he felt the need to maintain by concealing any feeling he deemed unbefitting. and both of them identify as "yura hyung", making the concept easier to grasp.

due to the intense emotional pressure, yura's feelings were utterly devided. the desire (night hyung) carries the memories of affection and attraction, the raw emotion towards the MC. the suppression (day hyung) remembers merely the distanced version of those interactions and possibly every other interaction which was infested with unbefitting emotions. the disappearance of an alter may equal the acceptance of an emotion/situation.

rereading parts of the story again and, while i always gush about the poignant dialogues and story overall, i’m reminded once again how beautifully complex the characters are, jinsol especially. while we were still reading the story through saegye’s eyes alone, jinsol’s dialogues, views, and philosophy are complex and so poetically articulated that—despite the obvious warning signs from his words themselves—you can’t help but be drawn towards him. idk man i just really love jinsol a lot

tldr; interesting and original premise but poor execution. All the more disappointing because i had such a high hope for this manhwa.


(Spoiler alert)

The story is filled with too many plotholes, the rule of this world was so arbitrary that it became a joke, and the characters' actions and motivations made no sense -- for example, a False could tell the truth in writing, so why the hell did Jinseol get all angsty about not being able to be honest with his mom and sister? One of his motivations to steal Saegye's ability was because he wanted to truthfully say "i love you" to people -- just freakin text them! And also, putting aside the outrageously Dumb logic of swapping identities by kissing, why did Jinseol need to make Saegye fall for him in the first place? If all he needed was a kiss, he could've manipulated him or made up any excuse. He could get a kiss from Tan, but not from Saegye? And that public reveal about Dares were written so freaking poorly i actually laughed. The author made it as if it was Saegye's decision to expose the Dares (and by extension, his feelings for Jinseol) that changed the world, but what would he have done if Caesar didn't want to get involved? Wasn't it HER decision that mattered the most, in the end? She was a deus ex machina who had all the means and power to reveal Dares without getting buried by the government. She was the one who influenced Saegye the most in this matter -- at first, she didn't see any benefit when Saegye wanted to help Tan, so she discouraged him from exposing the Dares. But once she had her own agenda, she was the one who encouraged Saegye to expose himself and helped him to do it smoothly (with no real consequences shown, what the HELL). So why tf did she tell Tan that all of these huge changes for the freakin humanity was all because of Saegye? Without her, Saegye's choice or feelings for Jinseol meant shit in resolving the conflict, let alone changing the world -- and i hate that a lot (also she kissed a minor, so screw her)

I need to see him suck her tits soon !!!!

King's Maker finished a long time ago but oh god was I disappointed with it's third season. Now, I've been saying my opinion and such regarding this matter but it truly did dawn on me, why did the third season not work out for me?

As someone who has bought the ones on tappytoon and as a personal fan of the series itself, it struck to me how the way of the story changed from the first season to it's last. The first story was amazing, the second one I am not much of a fan but it did deliver, but for some reason the third one doesn't just work out that well for me.

And I think it simply just goes down to the way it handles the characters and the story itself. The first one has an even paced out roster where we get to meet the character one by one and understand how they affect the story. The second does the same thing as well but the difference is the theme of the story which is strong on it's own but comparatively weaker than the ones before it. Now, the third one on the hand does have a new character, but the problem with it is that the characters are explained in ways that is not interesting. Because of the shock factor of the first and second season, the third season just feels like a side story which it probably is.

But I think what is suffers from the most is cohesion. The story feels all over the place. Similar to the first and second season, it's leading up to a moment. Finally finding peace and democracy ig is the main moment here but it just feels off. Not that democracy is bad, but the pacing towards it. What do you mean you made a literal King from magic? It just feels off. The puzzle pieces were there where Wolfgang lost his magic and so on and so forth but it just didn't deliver. At this point it just feels like an Au where Wolfgang and Shin had a child.

Now speaking of the child. Boy where do I even start. First of all, her relationship with Wolfgang and Shin. You cannot look me in the eye and say that is their child because it isn't. It wasn't Shin's DNA but it is connected to Wolfgang. Great, but what about found family? That's a trope the author can explore. Nope, it doesn't. In fact, they feel more like her guardian than her parents, specially Shin who feels just like here tutor. Not once did I feel the found family vibe. While I understand the main point of adding her into the story, it just feels short. She is an awesome character but what drags her down for is the story itself. I have already seen a great King lead and how he was made to be King, so now at this point, her story becomes uninteresting. But the main point could be that since Wolfgang was such a great King, his predecessors didn't have to struggle with the throne. But even then that just lowers her value even more. Everything was laid right in front of her and all she has to do was to improve her personal being and connection and that's interesting and all but it just come out as boring when you stack the ones that came before it.

Overall, it's mid at best. Obviously there are other issues like pacing and unnecessary side plots, but these are the ones that just feels the most obvious to me. It's cute that Shin and Wolfgang can finally rest and have their honeymoon times together, but it's unfortunate that their relationship wasn't expanded with the new king (God I can't remember any of their names). The last season feels like a side story to me since there is no overarching plot and it's not as heavy as before, like a breather. But it really just feels off to me. Would've enjoyed it more if it was better executed rather than feeling like i've been stuck on a subplot for ages.

i’m so bored can someone recommend me a 10/10 story to read..idc what genre it is and idc if it straight or gay just give me something i need a fix
