Thank you to whoever uploaded, we honest make the joke about seeing you next year for a new chapter, so I’m happy to see it all completed without waiting until 2026/2027, much appreciated!!!
a lot of the comments are salivating on the idea on hitting/beating their future kids need to chill (also kinda concerning, especially if you got spanked/hit/beaten as a child… you a victim… continuing a cycle of abuse… praying for you), SO LET’s RE-FOCUS on a key issue that i don’t think a lot of people have discussed, but the omega parent seems to be the one to often initiate the apology, at least to me, like even in this scenario he wasn’t in the wrong but i feel like the author setups situation where the alpha parent is the hero so it creates the illusion that erases his faults, and i know he often understands he is in the wrong and whatnot, but it would had been nice to see them discuss about it in a different setup… idk maybe im overthinking it but it made me feel icky that the omega parent apologized first to the alpha parent, like i go back and re-reading the previous chapter and the things he said was disrespectful like grounds for divorce tbh cuz if this was irl b/w a women who was victim of abuse and her current parent, that’s a HUGE RED FLAG… idk i just feel icky… and ik it’s just gonna be glossed over but mannnn i wished they actually like addressed it properly than a one page apology… sorry for the long rant but this kept on bugging me and no one commented on this so i just wanted to hear other’s opinion and thoughts…
no wait, you’re on to something… naoto should’ve stood his ground, why did he apologise.
I think you’re not understanding the full context here. Naoto didn’t apologise first because he’s an omega parent. That’s just his personality due to his past trauma. He thinks he’s the one who’s in the wrong first so he needs to apologise first. This is his trauma reaction. These kinds of thing take years to correct. Also in this scenario I think Naoto wanted to apologise because he kind of understood what Hazuki wanted to say although Hazuki used all the wrong words. He got mad at Hazuki for what he said but he knew Hazuki’s intentions weren’t wrong and that Hazuki just didn’t explain his point correctly using appropriate words. Naoto’s reaction was normal that he got mad at Hazuki and purposely used words to hurt him but of course when the anger fades he realises he could’ve handled the situation better on his end without getting mad since he’s the older one. Hazuki also is apologetic because he knows exactly what he did wrong. He said some bad things in the heat of the moment although he didn’t mean any of them. Hazuki couldn’t explain his point properly and choose the wrong wordings. He does Naoto but he doesn’t trust anyone else. He thinks Naoto is too trusting towards people and that he needs to careful because people hide their true intentions. Even recently an alpha student was chasing Naoto. This mixed with his natural jealousy resulted in the fight. I also think they aren’t done discussing the fight. They will discuss it more in the future chapters. Also the point of Hazuki getting hurt was not have him act like a hero but to show although as a young and new parent Hazuki has difficulty with his kids and is clumsy he would still protect them every time.
I acknowledge that his response to apologize first is a trauma response, but this further drives an aspect of my statement, in using this opportunity as a chance for discussion on this topic because although his intention, impact >>>> intention, especially when his issue of jealousy/overprotectiveness has been a re-occurring theme and each time we have a moment to explore the nuances, it’s over shadowed with “oh look tho, he saved XYZ,” idk it just feels a bit repetitive/redudant, like it feels like we were actually diving into deeper topics (not saying anything/names cuz ppl on here can be harsh when u try to make critical analysis, I’m too tired for that..), often times their relationship have semi sooth sailing, at least once gotten together, this was really their first relationship major argument and it was glossed over so quickly, I’m just like oh okie… that not, but as you said it may be that the discussion is not over, but idk it doesn’t seem like any other meaningful conversation will happen but maybe I’m being pessimistic. Also, thanks for sharing in the discussion and being respectful, much appreciated,
all that yapping for the dress, and it’s the ugliest dress ever… honestly all the clothing for the MC is sooo… idek… like what’s happening to author/artist taste, cuz this isn’t the only webtoon/manhwa/etc. with this issue, like damn
RIGHT??? Like when she got the dress from the duke i was expecting something way nicer Purple is not her colour at all
Sorry, if this been asked already, but why does it matter that the empress and emperor are having a child, I’ve tried re-reading but i can’t find myself to care… so if someone could explain, I’ll greatly appreciate it, as it seems crucial to the plot…
Idk if this is correct but I think it has to do with solidifying their position and power. Since the only reason the current emperor and empress are in that position because MC’s mom didn’t want it. With MC’s mom being the next in line to succeed AND marrying someone who had so much political power
because without an heir, the next in line for the throne are the emperor's siblings, like the mc's mom. the nobles will pander to them because technically she's currently the "crown princess" and even when she gave up her right to succeed, she's still a princess and her children are her heirs making them still next in line.
the order of succession changes if the emperor and empress finally sires a direct heir. and of course the nobles will shift their attention back to the royal family since they'll be snatching the crown prince/princess title now.
To everyone saying the flashback is dragging… trust me it’s not, this is one of the few better paced ones I’ve seen… I’ve seen worse… I’m not going name any names, but be grateful
no fr like their backstory is the literally the whole point, i'm enjoying the fuck outta this lmao
I WANT MORE STORY ON WOOJIN’s LOVE STORY, like whaaaa !?? LIKE WE (at least I did) JUST FOUND OUT HE LIKES SOMEONE, whoooo????
I have LOOOONG lost interest in the MC and ML, like please just end their love story n focus on others (usually it’s the opp. for me but yahhh their love sorry is DONE, I’m tired )
LMAOOOOOO AIN’T NO WAY Y’ALL ARE MAD CUZ WE DONT LIKE PREDATORY ASS AGE-GAP LOVE STORY any form of criticism is now being a hater, I just gotta laugh n close my eyes when reading some of this comments like LMAOOOOO
At the end of the day you guys are still reading the manga
it’s almost as if I can still enjoy a manga while being critical aware about certain tropes and themes (harmful + good) that exist within it
This!!
We're not saying that enjoying a trope in fiction is the same as enjoying it irl, but rather it's the refusal to be critical of these tropes or even allow others to be critical that raises concern. Discussion and criticism is a totally healthy aspect of a community and shouldn't be demonized, and the analysis and critique of enjoyable media is all a part of media literacy.
Though I will say, that it's one thing to critique media and another to judge or condemn those who consume said media based solely on the fact that they enjoy it.
But (for example) if someone in the comments were to read the latest chapter and start "shipping" a literal infant with a grown adult (fictional or otherwise), I think that's condemnable behavior worthy of critique because it does glean insight to a concerning pattern of thought.
Being "sensitive" to troubling themes is not a bad thing and it's those who cry and complain at the sight of criticism that are actually insecure and emotionally immature (or sensitive, if you will)
I'm sorry for the long response, I got kinda carried away quq
You dont like it but youre still reading it?
No we're mad because you're plaguing the comment sections thinking we genuinely gaf when you're still going to be gobbling up every update so for the love of God shut the fuck up
Why does everyone think the blond kid is the ML, isn’t the dream guy, based on the hint with the choosing of the dress (style,color, etc.) = romantic partner.
Also, I’m shocked at the response especially with ppl hating the blond more than dream guy, like the dream guy literally tried to destroy her relationship built with her family, almost killed her sister, etc. While the blonde is just lonely n annoying which is fair due to his past, like this normal behavior (especially if u have siblings growing up). So this dissonance in the comment section is just WOAH like did we read the same thing????
we’re thinking the same thing, me and u T-T I noticed her white dress and immediately thought of that little guy in the white cloak.. but also how can anyone hate Michael when he also wants a family..?! And Anastasia also mentioned she thought Michael felt familiar to someone in her past, maybe this is a clue for the future? ┗( T﹏T )┛
according to spoilers, michael is the ml
Where did you see the spoiler!? Does this have a novel by any chance? I’ve read the og work and the latest chapter is just 21 so the translation is caught up.. But wow this sounds too good to be true (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Righttt?! Those people hating are even more immature than the kid they claim to be annoying lmao. I believe they’re older than him but acting more of an annoying child than he is for thinking so immature like that.
yeah, it has a novel!
Please please please CHECK THE BOX FOR SPOILER WARNING OR LET IT BE KNOWN IN THE COMMENT HEADING/FIRST LINE… even if you feel like it’s something sooooooo obvious… pls think of others
What spoilers? Isn’t this an original manhwa and the raws are caught up to the translations
There can’t be spoilers for this - we’re always caught up with the manhwa updates & and there’s no original novel. Everything in the comments is just peoples’ assumptions.
