ml isnt that important in this lol. maybe bc hes written to be so terribly emotionally stunted, but you take him out of the equation and the MC would still be able to hold the story, with extra trials and tribulation and longer arcs ofc, but the story would still be there. i kinda like that, hes a sideshow, not the highlight. whenever he makes me frustrated i just skip reading the part with him, et voila! the story's unaffected! im not missing anything! thats a good stage to center MC in a character-driven story for me!
i didnt see the smut tag and im kinda really invested in the plot cause its so interesting??? high society for creatures of the night is so creative and it will take a lot to make this boring, which in sofar it has been the opposite. im so close to not gaf about the smut now cause the story is engaging lol and im curious about FLs dad, the bunny she has, the blonde guys story etc haha
i want to strangle the ml so bad omg!!!! ive avoided all these kinds of fuckass bottom of the barrel ML webtoons knowing theres nothing to it but idk why i read this one today learned my lesson
im sorry but cecilia dupree and dorothea is already stealing my heart. theyre doing their best with what the world has given to them being born girls. very hopeful and probs naive of me but i wish they can have a triad with FL cause theyd be unstoppable!!!
diabolical almost sociopathic FL and a douchebag straightlaced ML and both a dark underlying theme and a jokeyjoke front like okay this is good!! this feels soulful, their beef makes sense and that would make this trifecta rom-com-tragedy (i guess?) be even sweeter
thsi webtoon is one of the very few that is clever in sequencing plots. cause why i thought s going to end after yvonnes wedding and maybe it gets to 100 chapters with few short stories or flashback but they spin it one more time and it flows well!
some isekai webtoon really be dragging it out with faux conflicts and new character intro willy nilly in the nick of time and they were all desperate and overstaying their welcome. but this one ties things nicely and nothing or no one comes out of the blue. her isekai marker being vague and literally not defined whether it is true she regressed or its just a long dream and being reused for the next story is clever!
i got to the chapters where his psycho shows up a bit, he proposed to julianne again (ig he already had proposed before) and then when she rejected him he said "i dont mind i can wait" girl if u can wait u wont pester her omg you wouldnt say a thing. you would wait until they come to you and if they dont then thats a risk you took. ik lilis the mc but i cant help but be fixated with julianne like cedric and allen are kinda cool, allen just looks like a very mischievous bestie but michael
but hes also high key serving kunt LIKE!!! braiding his siblings hair together and dragging their lopped off head to the throne room? and then killing the king?? bad bitch behavior
cause why she told you bar for bar what to do so that shed be safe and he took it as a challenge to exert his power on her??? whyd he think shes all helpless/naive and has no plan? shes his savior angel deity whatever but he cant trust she knows how to carry herself? patronizing much? "i have watched you live all this time therefore i know whats best for you" kinda psycho???
also i get that hes tragic and was a victim himself but idk how his apologists comes out of the woodwork every time cause did they all forget the time penelope tried to liberate him and make him an official house knight instead of her indentured slave knight and he refused??? he never sits right with me idk
but idkkkk having whats left of your body be smeared to create a whole being is so dehumanizing as a concept i guess. idc if he was under rhe influence or depressed or even that being accidental, he violated my very being. this will never be a problem in this webtoon and MC will be happy about it when she finds out but if i was in her shoes i think i would be so repulsed.....
and her backstory is so cool??? no wonder thats how reirin is despite her frailness shes also that self sufficient martial artist practical pragmatist. no wonder shes empress and reirin the favourite
idc if slavery was legal in that world the moment you see someone being horrified by the sight of it one simply doesnt brush it off!! especially bc ur the emperor OH MY GOD. and what does she mean by she cant blame him for slavery???? that guy is ur head of state????? hes 100% must be held accountable!!! the smallfolks better come quick with the guillotines my goosshhh this author cant handle this shit at all!!
im kinda also getting sick with korean webtoons being so fixated in the mandatory trafficking/slavery busting arcs like u lot are getting lazy im sorry lol!! theyre not even good plot tools bc theyre rarely handled well and now this??? almost like theyre romanticizing slavery to create a romantic bond or sumn ugh
but the only ones fully deserving of baram are her girlfriends and saerom especially lol!!
the way she handled 2nd ML was crazy as shit lmao??? i had an inkling that both the school friend and coworker was just going to be their stepping stone to a better marriage but damn she really didnt have to do all that! although i know that they can never work together cause theyre at different stages in life and their fling is like a summer love kinda, she was out of pocket with wanting a parting gift from 2nd ML like that just absolutely cruel
the stories beautiful and mc is extremely easy to like. it has a very feminist spin to it but yheres also a very gut wrenching punch delivered in every story arc. like im v tormented cause i want to read her to happiness but everything is so bleak and dehumanizing even though the manga jtself is very comedic,theres a looming consistent presence of tragedy and condescension IDKKKKKKK maybe im dramatic
girl damn??? main relationship is like reading those YA fantasy novels. amplifying each other, each having their own arcs, and still have happy go lucky carefree butterfly inducing interaction amidst their dark reality??? yea im kinda sold this webtoon have some kind of a just right to all the ingredients! everything works so well together
she needs to kick him in the crotch or sumn cause men like him dont understand words/only misconstrue them to be something they want to hear. straight violence is what she needs GOD im so disgusted
if i find out that everybody in the place i take refuge in are only nice to me cause of i was a girl i cant remember id be so pissed and embarrassed cause then i have no place in there when im not her idk FL is kinda really pitiful in that part she deserves better
minji is literally the best. after hanhee ofc. both are extremely rational. hanhui got a crush so shes a little biased and minji is full of hubris, but they both need to team up and none of this military bug or bickering boys stand a chance against them
i think arman is def the duke but hes only partially retain his past life memory, maybe only remembering rubica or she came in a feverish dream or sumn so that he doesnt know that arman is him??? maybe??? well anyway im in the early chapters and hes pisisng me off so bad like grabbing her here and there girl thats assault stay away from her arman or not!!!
