Here’s my take on shipping the mc and ml:
Think of any childhood friend romance stories you have ever read. The two kids in those stories aren’t blood related but they have a very close bond- friends or best friends that seem like family. They begin their relationship (friendhip) at a very early age. Later on as they grow up, they begin having feelings for each other of the “romantic variety”. When the two finally get together, it’s smiles and happiness and we cheer for the childhood friends turned couple.
That’s how I view stories like these- this isn’t under normal circumstances and her “adoption” isn’t under any normal circumstances either (she was more like abducted and forced into living under a roof along with crazy individuals). The two are in no means blood related and both are very much aware of that, so there is none of the two that are thinking “oh that’s my actual brother/sister”.
Just see this as two childhood friends (that have a love hate relationship?) who will one day throw the yukiness of the world out and find the love within each other
Exactly! Everyone is acting like they think they are sibling. They both know they aren't. Its not like they grew up thinking they were. NOW THAT WHOULD BE FUCKED UP.
Sooo this flora chick- I ain’t vibing with her. I’m not saying she’s a bad (imaginary) person, but she’s definitely a thorn in the side when you’re trying to read a good action story.
What scares me is how often the story cut to flora while our Mc was reporting to the dudes after killing fang leader- it seemed like they were trying to build up her character which goes to show that she will likely be relevant in later chapters as well.
Which again sucks because she will be like “oh my gosh- he’s a changed man! I will suddenly fall in love with him, act like a leech that refuses to leave, and force my feelings upon the man!” I hope to god she won’t but from past readings of action stories, it might be the case. If she can just be a cool female friend, then cool. But that’s usually not this it goes.
I wish that you can take all females out of all action stories that have a male as the leading role because I swear if a chick appears, she’s gonna start blushing a couple of chapters in and then the book will become distracted from the chicks thoughts on how she wants to jump the male lead. I don’t know how many times I had to stop reading a good action story because it kept getting distracted by a female in the story
Rant done
Spoiler!!!!
How the ml said “in this era I’ll only love you” literally made my heart depressed so it’s only for THIS era that he will love the Mc because the human will die and the demon will move on
Geeezzz I thought I was the only one who got bittersweet on that line
It hurtsssss
You're so right that one stung ALOT! In my mind I'm going to pretend Minoru later gains immortality and they stay together for every era!:)
this is why i'm not really set on immortality and shits,,, fuuuuck this hurt so bad
Okay first off I really like this story and the effort put into it- very good. Now that that’s out of the way... rant incoming... spoilers below
I’m seriously getting a strong dislike for the Mc, he is so weak minded at times that it makes me want to whack him. “If it wasn’t his marriage that kept us apart, then why didn’t he accept me?” (Paraphrased words) Maybe because he doesn’t like you like that? I know that in the story ml does probably like him but still, mc acting surprised about the fact that ml just doesn’t like him makes me want to whack him more.
He’s like a darn leech or irritating mosquito that keeps on coming back after you swat it away. After a couple of times I’d just kill it. Can you look any more desperate? Where’s your pride and self-respect?
All of his other character aspects are good and likeable, but because of his constant “obsession over ml” tendencies, it makes all those good points seemingly disappear with only obsession of ml left.
Rant done.
actually there's 'obsessive love' on the tag of the novel so you should expect that someone from the characters are 'clingly'. If you look at reality, mc is still young that why he still not totally mature like ml (which ml already told that young ppls more emotional toward love)
True, though the obsessive love trope is used differently here. Usually it’s someone with yandere tendencies or someone who’s almost like a push over. I mean I get where’s OP’s coming from cuz there’s a difference between wanting to be with someone so obsessive adn will chase you to the end of the earth (even if you reject them) and just not thinking about the fact the your crush might just not like you.
Look, I know all the comments are already sharing their hate for the chick, but I’m afraid I must do the same.
I started reading this manga- purposefully making sure that it had no “romance” in its genre nor does it have any romance tag.
I’m going through the manga all fine and dandy and I was so pumped up when the first girl realized her first love won’t come to be and gave up LIKE A NORMAL PERSON.
But NOW WE HAVE THIS DUMB CHICK who thinks so highly of herself yet is one of the most useless characters in the story. She is also a stalker creep who doesn’t know how to STOP
Say it for all those in the back who can’t hear...
We didn’t come here for lovey dovey bs and some chick who thinks she’s the shit! But is actually useless af!! Bruh if he’s gay I’d accept that rather than some dumb heifer tryna trap him with her stupidity ughhhhh!
AMEN PREACH YOUR WISDOM BRAVE SOLDIER
Potential spoiler
And also my personal opinion
In the comments I’ve seen many people saying how uncomfortable they are with Eugene maybe being the ml. Why? Think about it- her and Eugene only spent time with each other for a few years when they were younger before Eugene left and then came back later on. Everyone in the family also knows that she isn’t blood related to them in the least bit.
The way I see it, In the case of this story, the relationship dynamic between the Mc and Eugene can also be CONSIDERED as that of childhood friends. I’ve read many stories where two childhood friends (who can be considered as close as “family”) that were always CONSTANTLY together end up falling in love with each other in the end, and people usually don’t see anything wrong with it and instead find it heartwarming.
Just wanted to put that thought out there ^.^
Only one bad thing: that they have the 'Ernst' after their names. But you're right.
That is the right way of thinking in this situation
How do I say this?....it feels so right and so wrong at the same time
Maybe because she has "Ernst" in her name and she's already treated as the young lady of the Ernst family, even though we all know they're not blood related.
But seriously though, their dynamic...it just screams they're in love but don't know their feelings yet, the way they've gone through everything together and supported eachother. Also, I feel Johan sees Hari as a younger sister more than Eugene does.
Either way I'll be happy if she ends up with him, I'm worried about Eugene's fiance though, does she do anything?, Is she good?, does she love Eugene?
I have to get my heart ready for that...
(⊙…⊙ ) You said exactly what I was thinking about... my poor english couldn't say it. Thank you.
I don’t know how this is going to turn into a romance- especially if it’s between our female main character and the boy she created. How would that work? Can she write him into her own existence? Can’t see that happening either but I wish it would
This seems more like a “coming of age” or “finding yourself” kind of story, not a sweet fantasy romance story about a sad girl finding her happiness in a boy that she had unknowingly created and they can live and live together and make their happy ending together as one. It seems more like a sad girl finding her own happiness after giving up the boy she created and giving him happiness through her stories. I don’t want SADNESS nor do I want bitter sweetness, I want fluff and romance!
Someone got spoilers from somewhere? What kind of story is this going to be?
