Wonder why people are so frustrated by the misunderstandings and taking the plot so seriously. Come on, about 2 chapters in, you already know that this manga is comedy. It’s not here to give you a tirade of deep-seated convoluted drama, so chill and enjoy the funnies. I mean she literally jumped to the conclusion that the duke has the hots for the Emperor outta nowhere and you think this is supposed to be serious? Not everything has to fit reality to a T, so chillax~
The funny thing is that if the story was about Rashta’s child, the king’s son from a concubine who became the crown prince and was hated by the Empress, most of y’all would hate the Empress for it. Really goes to show how perspective matters.
Anyway, I don’t get the hate being mostly for Rashta rather than the prince. She’s a slave with no education whatsoever, why would you expect her to be smart or have high morals like the empress? You think a slave wouldn’t try to escape her life of being enslaved, raped and blackmailed by her master by holding on to the king? She doesn’t have the privilege to turn down the king when she’s literally a slave. This is like you, a rich person, getting furious when a beggar tries to steal your food to survive and saying they have no morals. It’s weird how you guys hate the woman the most when it was the man’s fault.
The point the author is trying to make is not for you to go “the maid is still bad even tho she got raped”. It’s that trauma and bad circumstances can make you be a bad person, so you shouldn’t be simple-minded and judge people easily by right and wrong.
If a little boy was beaten repeatedly and watched his father beat dogs, and so, grew up to become a dog abuser, obviously he’s wrong — the thing is that he didn’t choose to be that way. He didn’t get the luxury of good, trauma-free circumstances to grow up and become good.
Everyone knows what the maid did was wrong. But she didn’t choose to be that way, did she? You’re telling me a rape victim has an easy choice in deciding to be nice to people when she has so much pent up rage and anger towards her aggressor, and she can’t do anything about it?
She had to give up her husband and her family because of stigma, all because of a rape that wasn’t her fault, and had no choice but to rely on a rapist. It’s a horrible situation that is going to break anyone’s psyche.
The simple thing about you guys still supporting the author is that you guys don’t care he’s a pedophile. Don’t need to go so far to justify why you guys read this comic, saying that it’s fiction or whatnot, so you can still assure yourself you aren’t a pedophile supporter. It’s so damn cringy lmao. You guys know you have a line you draw about fiction — if I were to draw your mother or your fetus daughter being gang r*ped and k*lled and say “it’s OK, it’s fiction”, you’d get mad about it.
Just accept that you like the comic and you really don’t care about the author being a pedophile and drawing kids being r*ped/f*cked. Don’t try so hard to prove to everyone you’re a good person. Yeah, you’re a shitty person, but what is anyone gonna do about it? It’s the most tone-deaf thing to try and pretend yall some good people lmao
Ya can check out the 4chan thread on suicide boy, but basically the author draws child porn for a living (and he does get horny over children— the people who claim parkgee said he’s not into child porn is TOTALLY wrong lmao, he said it many times on his streams). He also is super friendly with his pedophile fanbase.

Anyway, my post was about how annoying people are trying to justify so hard why they’re reading a comic from a pedophile. Like guys lol don’t needa bend over back to try to prove you’re some good guy or smth, it’s so cringy - just accept that ya like this comic and pedophilia doesn’t bother ya
Ngl that sounds exploitive. Sure, he repeatedly said he’s not a pedo, but he’s still creating sexualized content of people who can pass off as children. He CAN draw mature looking people and profit off of it, just look at how he made Jae Hoon dance in a pole. Jae Hoon’s also a minor, but you can add years in his age and he can pass off as a young adult. Heck, he can just make his characters older while keeping a shota appearance, and they can just be femboys.

like real child porn or shota? because like reading shota is ok and everything (also crossdressing is ok) but real child porn is a no i-, the way how i donated $100 and a monthly subscriber to his patreon is crazy chile...ugh i love this comic, i feel bad supporting a pedophile,, damn bruh this is sad
Oh shoot, that’s depressing as hell. The reason why I continue reading is because ParkGee actually acknowledges how awful Hooni’s suicidal tendencies were and I love how Hooni’s slowly recovering thanks to his friends as the webcomic strayed away from its triggering content. So if he drew shit like this because of his own experiences, then that’s an unfortunate coping mechanism... It’s still problematic but now I know there’s a bunch of fucked up shit that lead to this.
Let's make this clear, I don't hate the MC at all. For me, the problem is that Ibee's no longer the same character as from Season 1 - the author's not being consistent in their characterization of her. She's more airheaded, careless and a bit unrealistic in regard to many things in season 2, but she was never like this in season 1. She was a decent protag initially - independent, sincere, sticks to the novel. Now, she just goes "kyaaaa", "prince makes me shy", "wow you were so cool in killing that guy" (even tho in season 1 she has shown she doesn't like violence - I get the prince needed to kill that guy, but I wouldn't think Ibee would squeal over it and call it cool...).
Ibee just weirdly seems one-dimensional in season 2. I think the author hit a wall somewhere or just lost control over how they characterized her.
i think the big difference is that before she was reacting to alejandro - the kid- and now she's reacting to alejandro -the man- and while she may have been more focused and centered at first, being in love might make her be a little airheaded? specially around the person she likes? idk...i didn't give up on her yet
I wish this author would portray women more realistically. Even in Lookism majority of the girls were all unbelievably hot when both Lookism and this manhwa is supposed to be breaking stereotypes of the big strong handsome guy/petite slender pretty girl being successful, but the author just keeps using these hot girls as a way to show that the loser guy is successful. Gets boring and predictable. If there’s a new loser guy joining the gang I’ll bet my ass the author will fashion up another hot girl for that loser guy.
You sound like the type to be hurt easily by criticizm. Nobody says the author can’t continue drawing the way he does, right? I’m criticizing him and his predictable plots, not threatening him to change with a knife. He can draw as he wishes, I can criticize as I wish too.
Btw if you can draw a traditionally ugly guy you can draw a traditionally ugly girl — he’s done it once in Lookism.
Your not criticizing the plot but how the characters look. Your one of those Tumbler people aren't you. You would scream at people that the woman aren't realistic at all but then turn around and think that how the men are portrayed is PERFECTLY fine. As an artist myself, I know that criticism is needed but not this type. We can portray characters how we want to its ART, but you don't see it that way do you? You see it as only a representation rather than just a fictional story.
OK Miss Artist with the substandard English. You guys are way too sensitive to criticism LMAO it’s almost like you guys are the people you’re describing? I said my opinion, you guys keep acting like I put a gun to the artist’s head. And nah you ain’t an artist, whaddya mean that criticism of this type is not needed? It’s a plot problem ya dumbass. Ya think people won’t get bored of you repeatedly using the whole “loser guy gets hot chick” as the only story you know how to write?
No one is saying the artist draws ugly and needs to do better. It’s that he repeatedly uses the lame ass story of “loser guy can get hot girl too!” and *whoosh fighting scenes*. If you and NellyWumbo are so scared of criticism and need to block it out, idk how yall survive in the outside world.
(Btw, did you draw one anime eye on your notebook paper and have now decided to proclaim that you’re an artist? LMAO)
You dead ass criticized the art in your first comment, when someone else told you off you changed your words. It's okay to criticize the plot and art, you know in a way so that they can make it better. If you haven't noticed, anime in general is automatically incorrect. The eyes are WAY too big, the hair colors are abnormal and the personality themselves aren't exactly normal either. And no I am not claiming to be a professional artist. What I'm talking about us what I learned in two years in art class. Do you hate Van Goph? Oh I bet you really hate that guys art work after all the skys don't even look like normal. Or what about Jojo Bizare Adventure? Have you seen those freaks of nature? But guess what? Everyone enjoys his art work even though its characters are abnormal.
Are you not a fluent English speaker? You seem to be deliberately missing my point. NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT ART. Why not you go get a dictionary to understand what I'm saying before replying. It's fine if you're not fluent in English, but you can't expect me to keep a conversation with you when you aren't even getting what I'm saying.
No ya dumbass, it's not an art style problem. It's a plot problem at the bottom of it all even though it seems like it's an art style problem. You can't tell me this author has diversity when it comes to drawing men but somehow he can only draw hot girls.
Not you changing your words when you literally said, “I wish this author would portray women more realistically. Even in Lookism majority of the girls were all unbelievably hot when both Lookism.” You’re implying that their looks shouldn’t be like that, when it’s just the authors art style. We get that you’re trying to “criticize” how the author portrays women when it’s not even that big of a deal. You do realize this story is still in the beginning stage right? And why are you avoiding the actual argument and going after our grammar lmao? Is that all you can do to rebuttal?
You say it’s not a big deal the author portrayal women unrealistically yet you get mad at me for having an opinion... like OK LMAO why would you contradict yourself so plainly?
I’m not changing my words. What don’t ya get, Squidy? Lemme guess, you’ve never had any experience in art before, right? Ask any college comics and animation major and I guarantee you, they will understand that this is an underlying problem. An art problem is when I dislike the author’s general way of drawing, I have no problem with his way of drawing. He can draw ugly girls and he can draw cute girls. He just doesn’t ever draw ugly girls and it gets really cliched and boring that there’s a whole harem of hot girls which is jarring.
Of course I’m going after that kid’s grammar, if you aren’t fluent in English how tf are you going to get my point? Both of you keep going in roundabouts because you got affronted by me having an opinion. IDK how you guys will survive if some internet stranger asking for a less cliched manga pisses you off so much.
I understand when you are saying when you say something is clicched. However if you have a problem with every story that the author makes then don't read any of their stories. Also, there is no wrong on drawing aall your characters hot/beautiful/handsome. In fact the MC stands out more when he is surrounded by people like that. And no, I am not pissed off at you for criticizing the story rather I'm pissed off at you because of your SJW view on what artist can and can not portray FICTIONAL characters.
Started off OK, second ML was annoying but still alright. Then from Chap 8 or so the pacing started getting bad and the cliches mounted.
I mean, their fight was so unrealistic. It really just came out of nowhere since there was no conflict prior to that and suddenly they're falling apart. And then suddenly there's this guy who wants to molest him...? They're HS kids, considering the context and the culture, the perpetrator has a LOT to lose since he'll be branded as the homosexual. Then the ML comes out of nowhere, saves him and then they kiss. I'm more surprised that during the drinking game ML didn't do the cliche and drink for him.
Art though is pretty.
The new guy at the mixer/goukon was cute but I'm forever rooting for Hatano - please make him endgame with our protag
