i’m starving for the ahjusshi please come backkkkkkkkk
i’m actually so happy that asta isn’t two faced! we get so many stories where the og fl becomes the villain and im tired of it
before the lunatics call me a cesar apologist, i would like to say that i just enjoy a villain. i mourn the normal childhood ruby, cesar, and enzo could have had if it wasn’t for their batshit crazy father. i appreciated the backstory for cesar because it dives into how he was brainwashed into thinking violence = love. i’m not saying he was right in his treatment towards ruby but tbh, who wouldn’t also be insane if their dad beat the living shit out of them every single time something inconvenienced him? even ruby went insane. as of now, i truly don’t see any redemption for him but it saddens me to see him live through abuse and continue the cycle without ever breaking free and becoming happy. unfortunately for him, i believe he’ll only stay a villain. if they didn’t show how crazy abusive his dad was to him also, i think i would have been able to hate him without feeling guilty. truly, if he had just communicated with ruby that everything he did was to protect her, i believe things wouldn’t have been as twisted as they are now. yes it was wrong, i’m not defending him! the pseudo incest was nasty, not defending him again, but i do see why he would grow to be obsessed with ruby. his dad’s fucking crazy and beats him, and enzo gets to do whatever he wants because he’s the pope’s real son PLUS he’s not considered capable enough to be the next pope. obviously with those two, ruby who’s innocent and sweet (my poor ruby ) would be his only solace. not defending him! cus ppl can’t understand a nuanced take.
moving on to freya, i was lowkey disappointed that her arc as a villain wasn’t as fully developed as cesar’s. with her, she’s just branded as some jealous woman who wanted to become queen. but why? i wish we could’ve gotten more! i haven’t read the novel or seen any spoilers so i don’t know what happens next but i wish we could’ve gotten backstory on her too. why is she so obsessed with power? did she truly love izek? what’s her relationship like with her mom (as we’ve seen in previous chapters, it’s not the nicest) i do sense a small redemption arc with the most recent chapter but i wish we got something else besides her being a childish woman whose sole purpose was to get in between ruby and izek. i’m so tired of women being villains but it’s only because they want the man like hello?? women are so much more than their relationship with a man? we could’ve gotten a woman who was hungry for power. she could’ve harmed both ruby AND izek because they’re the greatest contender for the throne. but no, they went the route of her wanting izek and wanting to be a queen. why couldn’t it just be her wanting to be a queen? no man! freya could have been cesar’s level of a villain and not just some third rate villain.
chapter four; it feels like i’m speedrunning a story with the way everything is moving so quickly. the manhwa is a lot of tell and barely any show, it feels like i’m reading a novel. also the way they revealed why the prince is scared of women in ch 3 like ?? where’s the suspense girl… every man looks like he’s a massage away from orgasming and it’s kinda funny. overall, mid story because even the body positions and facial expression look stiff. unfortunately, i am quite starved so i will be reading this up to the latest chapter. see y’all again in a bit
wait i haven’t read this in so long. larriette remembers the mc’s og body??
i know i can’t be expecting much because this is a pornhwa but are you fucking kidding me? that’s a shit excuse for a disguise. she binds her chest but we still see her fuck ass tits thru the hoodie? and you’re telling the rocks-for-brains ml couldn’t realize she was a fucking woman ? this is the most ridiculous thing about this manhwa. like i don’t even care about her cross dressing or that blond man whore or the fact that her towel magically fell down just at the right time. you can’t just disguise yourself as a man but still have your whole rack OUT ???
a part of me wished this would follow the “kill the villainess” route where she actually achieves her goals which is leaving the country with her maid. i should’ve known it would be too good to be true. of course she just has to admit that she’s a guide despite hiding it wonderfully for years.
honestly i’m hoping his hyung is found and gets punished! i’m pretty sure it was the ceo he hit cus the figure looked like a person and he was praying “please anything but a person” or something like that. if it was an animal, he wouldn’t have framed mc and taken the black box. FUCK HIM HONESTLY like you’re drinking and driving, HIT A PERSON, and then blame it on an innocent person who had just started getting famous! LOSER FR. like i don’t even care about the smut because the plot’s got me so mad i might need a full story on the actor x ceo
this feels like a corny wattpad rofan and it cringes me out reading some of her reactions but the art is gorgeous so i’m sucking it up for now
i was so scared that it would be the fat uggo walking in the room
joy possibly being the first one to realize how the infection started and is progressing is so ironic considering he’s the cry baby character who’s useless.
my poor girl the real sera :( tormented her whole life just to die young
you can’t just end it there and not tell us who wrote the rules
the miscommunication hurts my brain. especially with the cliche “oh we’re not meant to be together because he has to marry someone and i’m just some poor fuck ass noble from the countryside”
first off, i am surprised by the poly ending! it’s refreshing to see her keep her harem even tho the prince was excluded.
second, i’m also glad she actually killed her husband in the end and it wasn’t a “i’m taking him back cus now he treats me better” bs. although i am disappointed she didn’t take the final blow and it wasn’t ludrica instead!
speaking of ludrica, i am extremely happy she survived. honestly, it would’ve been too cliche to make the COMMONER maid who was exploited by her employer the female villain. i get she did her wrongs too but honestly, you will never convince me that a poor woman who works as a maid and was taken advantage of by a man with power is a DEVIL. sure she was a little stupid with her schemes but i do appreciate her growth at the end! lowkey why was i wishing that ludrica and may got together…..anyone else??? just me???
i’m glad chris survived too! he was my favorite (partially because i love me an ml with silver hair)
and surprisingly, the plot was very interesting that the smut scenes kinda ruined some parts. her fucking after every traumatic experience she had got me like damn what a coping mechanism. also i can’t get over the smut scenes being CENSORED LMAO and her nippleless boobs. overall, satisfying read!
