Don't worry everyone! He reunites with the frog soon :)
I swear the worst profession to have as a manhwa reader is being a lawyer.... Almost all of the "trial" scenes in manhwa are done so ignorantly that I cringe, and I'm not even a lawyer. I just have to take a deep breath and remember it is fantasy.... It is fantasy...
Try reading leave the divorce to professional lawyer
There are a few series that center around law, This is the Law I've heard good things about. Honestly I'm actually not much of a court case fan to begin with, but some of these high key fantasy series, it makes more sense for them to be wrongfully accused, escape, and find truth to sway the public, then to have a very modernesk court case in a fantasy setting.
Kinda takes me out of the fantasy to begin with, not even mentioning how weak many of the arguments end up being. So it's not realistic from a modern viewpoint and it's very modern approach for a historical fantasy viewpoint, it just feels off most of the time. Some series can make it work with the world they have created, already establishing a lot of modern viewpoints into the politics of the world. But I also just love it when the author goes the extra mile to be realistic to the fantasy time period. Like in this situation, there's no way for MC to escape this. Everyone believes he did it, the one who actually planted the evidence is royalty, historically MC is screwed. So it felt weak and out of place how he escaped using modern but also incorrectly used court room situation.
But also there's a lot of stories I struggle with reading stories in general where the MC isekais to another world, that is "historical" and "backwards" but also somehow has modern industrialism to have things like cotton candy machines that MC develops, and MC having mechanical knowledge not befitting of their life on earth. (Villainess's stationary shop, I'm looking at you , and all the others like you). Like stick to the fantasy, or explain the world to make this make sense. Some do make it make sense, and I like those, but I really struggle when MC brings modern things into an apparently historical fantasy world out of no where. And it feels like the lawyer situation in a monarchy (not a constitutional monarchy, or at least none of these fantasy worlds have claimed to have a constitutional monarchy). Just so out of place... Most the time I can ignore it if the rest of the story is good but it just throws me out of the world for a sec
I’m so glad you said this. I’m pre-law and it’s so frustrating! Especially when it comes to valid contracts. That’s probably the most common one.
Lmao I didn't even think about that. I was in mock trial so ik a bit about how US trials are supposed to happen. But I haven't actually researched contracts and what constitutes a contract. But also historically, I feel like many manhwa contracts aren't that far off, the only problem is that I don't think anyone would really enforce the contract if someone broke it. Idk how people delt with that.
Nah babe. I beg to differ. Maybe most manhwa fall out when trying to fit in the ‘law’ theme but I promise u, NO MORAL did a good job at that. I’ve never been invested in a law related manhwa like that mf.
Wait omg that was a big “American moment” for me it most likely does work differently in Japan, China, etc. I think the main one that frustrates me is when some poor bottom gets their parents debt and loan sharks force them to pay(obviously this is illegal) especially when they never knew the parent because you would need to agree to take on the responsibility. Or when someone says “you promised to do x,y, z” and it’s over $10,000 legally it requires a written contract. Obviously if mangas applied too much logic they would have no plot though lol.
XD not surprised that a lawyer related series did court room drama justice. There's a few solid ones out there that I've heard about. I'm more complaining about the situations like these in fantasy settings, most of them don't fit well. But yes, there are definitely series out there that work solid
100% about that no plot part. Same with misunderstandings. But also series that rely completely on a misunderstanding for plot or a bad illegal contract don't really have much plot then do they? Anyways the debt thing never bothered me cuz MC is naive anyways, and loan sharks inherently are in the legal gray area, and are often pushed (in manhwa at least) to do illegal stuff and go out of their way to get their money back by harassment and such. Just cuz it's not legal doesn't mean the loan sharks can't convince the vulnerable MC that what they are doing is legal, and that MC can't ask for actual legal help or anything. Also many loan sharks in manhwa are tied with the mafia, so if MC tried, he'd be swimming with the fishes before the court date happens.... Not to mention plots with corrupted governments where the loan sharks mafia can play a few strings in the background. This does happen IRL in countries but normally not ones like the US or Korea / Japan... I'd assume. Or at least not as easily. Also since I'm from there US I do try to understand that legal systems in other countries might be slightly different than ours, but a legal battle like this one in this series was cringe all the way through if you know a basic knowledge of how courts run.
And also there was one BL where the MC wanted to become a lawyer and got screwed up in the debt drama, and honestly that's on him as an aspiring lawyer. Even if he never made it to college, you'd still think he would understand he can't be strapped with his father's debt.
3 chapters for humanization is a new record.
really? i've read one where they did it the first chapter tho. i don't remember it's name but i'm sure it was in the first chapter
Ooooh do you remember the animal they were?
Are I sure it wasn't just a prologue
that i don't remember since i'm currently following over 1200 things of which all of them are uploading at random.
idk if it was the prologue
I think people are misunderstanding his concerns. He doesn't regret killing the woman, outside of the fact it was his first "player" murder. The player deserved it in that situation. What MC is considered about is that he almost let the bear guy die. If misha (fox lady) wasn't there, he would have let the bear guy die for the profits. And that's what he was worried about. That he'd get so cold blooded to let someone innocent die in the name of earning all of bear guys loot. It was the perfect situation too, since bear guy was mortally wounded by a "plunderer" player, so if MC didn't step in with his potion, bear guy would have died and MC would have profited big time, getting enough money for the level 6 of his immortal seal. That's what he is hating himself for.
Is Misha a fox? I thought she was a cat.
Idk. Never seen a red cat before so assumed it's a fox. Latest chapter did show a cat tho, so you are probably right. I don't recall if it was ever mentioned, besides her being a beast man and a princess
My guilty pleasure is reading all these comments, omg you guys are so creative with your punishments for lister!!!
This series wouldn't be so infuriating if I could binge it... I know some people complain, but honestly I'm just a sucker for the "MC runaway" plotline. If anyone got any recs with more books like this (BG and BL both appreciated) especially when MCs situation is shit and honestly running away makes the most sense. I just hate it when they are caught so quickly.... Sigh
I mean, Death is the only ending for villainess is probably one of the most satisfying ones
For the suicidal MC trope, ya. But she actually never runs away from the dukes family. She stays to complete the mission thinking she will get home until she realizes she failed...
Maybe in the webtoon rn. Spoiler!

She does runaway! And it’s very satisfying.
So yeah, she does and actually very soon. I didn’t finish the novel yet, I know she ends ups with the crown prince but I don’t think she’s gonna stay with the Duke family.
Oooooh!!! Lmao I actually read some of the novel about a month ago, but it was only for the topic that was covered in the most recent chapters, her coming of age ball. I then got very angry with how things turned out that I stopped and started waiting on the webtoon again XD thanks for the heads up!
Really? Hahahah I loved the “suicide” trope. I guess I just really like angst, and her family’s guilt was the best
I think people aren't reading between the lines on this. From MLs perspective, his relationship was getting better with MC, MC was starting to "open up" and "rely" on him more, but ML just realized, it was all because of the pregnancy hormones. Did MC even like him? Or was it just because MC was pregnant? That's what angered ML. He doesn't know what to believe anymore, and he can't take the rejection that might come if MC "finds out that his 'love' and 'clinginess' were just pregnancy symptoms". Or at least thats what I took from this chapter
adding on this, I think Taeju also blames himself from all of this. Like he ruined Euhyuin's life and then their child died so maybe he's blaming himself from all of these.
Ooh I like that take too! Because he sees himself as someone who constantly hurts Euhyuin (which he has) but this is just one more hurt. It also uses the scene they showed earlier in the chapter, where Euhyuin doesn't care about a house or security or debt. They show him hugging his brother, so Taeju knows the importance Euhyuin places on family.... And Taeju is once again "responsible" for the "death" of Euhyuin's child... But there's all these complex emotions shown in the artwork and not in the dialogue, and most comments I've seen focus on the surface level dialogue parts.
Like the end of this chapter Taeju is literally melting. He says to end things but he's falling apart, he's drowning. Why? There's so much going on that's all so complex. Emotions and thoughts that can't be easily explained in dialogue or thought bubbles. This story is actually full of little details in the art if you look closer, and I kinda love it
FR, this is a VERY WELL MADE AND WELL DRAWN Manhwa. That's one reason why I really love it and is reading it.
I just hope, Euhyuin fixes HIMSELF FIRST before he help fix Taeju. Cause He's literally shattered to dust now.
Based on the author's take on depression, I just hope that is not the case for the next scenes.
Lmao her face is like "oh damn, well anyways" （￣へ￣）
No chapter this week, author is on hiatus (I tried to read the raws). They said, one hiatus per 5 chapters. So after 5 more chapters there will be a week break of no chapter. This week is that week. Come back again for next week!
i'm gonna hold out for next week! i just hope the author is in good health and resting well
Found the raws. Season 2 is already out with a few chapters. So depends on the translators if we need to wait
Can you give the link of the raws
It's on newtoki. My phone is glitching rn and won't let me access the link to copy it.
