I’m so tired of the step sibling likes the other step sibling trope. Atp it’s so overdown and is just insulting to real step siblings and invalidates adopted children. “Oh it’s okay for them to like each other because they aren’t blood related.” They’re still siblings and are family. Just make one of them a childhood friend or something.
right lmaoaoao i rlly cant help but feel weird like that's just straight up incest
Atp manga/manhwa artists are glorifying it. I have not read a single manga where the author didnt choose to make the siblings step siblings in order to create romance between them or have one like the other.
yesss i get u. like can i just read one story where the male cousin/sibling act like the normal ones irl like...
pls i wholeheartedly agree that one manhwa abt the pink haired kid and the black haired boy with the demon im only reading it until they get older bc then im dropping it before the romance
Yea I recently dropped that one.
wait ?? i thought theyre siblings and totally platonic!! is the story going in romance direction..
apparently they’re going to be lovers when they
grow up i wish it was platonic
..another potential storyline ruined by unnecessary romance
what's the sauceeee??
The trope exists because the majority of people still treat step siblings/relatives as if they are not real siblings/relatives.
That’s literally not true lmao and that’s ignorant of you to say. It’s because tropes like this that step siblings and adopted children feel invalidated because they aren’t blood related. Many people see their adopted and step siblings as their actual sibling because they ARE their sibling. You don’t need to be blood related to still have a familial relationship. This trope literally fetishizes adopted and step sibling relationships and its inherently harmful especially since these manhwas are marketed towards impressionable teens and children.
You are so right - i wish writers hab basic biology culture : here is food for your thoughts - it is said that from vegetal to animal, nature worked hard to prevent breeding in the same family. - aven trees are made tco crossbreed, and in humans there’s something called « westermack effects-
It’s contemporary and contradictory to Freud : it establishes that people raised together have a strong aversion to sexual intimacy - it’s true for all family members, whether there are biologically connected or not - so no, little children do not have this kind of desire for their parents (there’s no œdipe complexe!), and neither do siblings or step siblings raised together in small age grow this kind of drive
In fact it comes from observing tribes or culture which made arrangements to take in small kids in for future mariage, with the idea the kid would know each other better - but reality proved they make miserable couple, with less or no kids and more divorces - they can’t change the way of their brother /sister relationship, and it’s not fit for « reproduction «
Step kids raised together don’t wish to marry - that’s been proven more than a century ago !
Thank you for stating facts and brining up history to prove my point!
You’re much welcome -
Some of these way of thinking are like poison ;)
She’s being so dumb. This dude literally treated her so terribly and walked all over her feelings but OHHH BUT WHO CARES since he was nice to you for ONE DAY. How did you suddenly forget how bad he made you feel????
love make people dumb ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Her self-respect be going
MHM SHES TOO KIND WHICH IS BAD I MEAN LIKE ITS GOOD BUT KINDA BAD IF I WAS IN HER SITUATION I WILL ACT LIKE I HAVENT MET HIM BEFORE
Being too kind is NEVER good. you are right that it's bad. Nothing that is too much is good... wait what let me put it this way so people (really, me) can understand better. everything that is too much isn't good. there's always a right amount. a balance. no less, and definitely no more.
RIGHT
Do y’all even understand how learning a foreign language works???? Like I genuinely don’t understand why y’all are getting mad because she doesn’t understand the language yet. It’s not like she has a damn book she can open up and study. She has to learn words based on observations and that’s going to take a long time. I like how for ONCE a manhwa is being realistic and the FL doesn’t automatically understand the language after a few days.
THANK YOU
People just like to complain abt anything.
I know right? it so funny to me watching them XDD it's like they don't get what it means to learn a new language, it fucking hard even with a book that helps you.
well if she is dire enough then the process might be faster but yeah I totally agree with you
this story was so bad omg. It had so much potential too wtf.
Yuna doesn’t need to end up with Jihoon. They both need therapy like I’m deadass. The only reason Yuna is so attached to Jihoon is because of how traumatized she is and because shes been hurt/betrayed by others constantly. Jihoon is obsessive and controlling to the point where he’ll get violent when other people touch Yuna or just talk to her. Dude is extremely messed up and I really wish someone would POINT THAT OUT TO HER?? Let’s not forget how he isolated everyone from her and made them bully her. Idc what the reason was she went through HELL because of the choice he made.
I kinda agree but also kinda disagree.ugh.
I mean she is not attached to jihoon just because he believed in her or something .ofc the recent chapter shows how happy she is becaused jihoon believed in her but please don't forget that she could not hate jihoon even after returning to the past. And the thing about jihoon being obsessive is not even correct to the point of calling him messed up.jihoon hit the first guy(rumor spreader) because he was getting on his nerves talking shit about girlfriend in front of him,his junior/blonde/orange haired boy) because he knows just how that guy's personality is like as jihoon mentioned he talks shit about jihoon behind jihoon's back & lastly if it's about his close friend,you think jihoon doesn't know about that guy's feeling???we should just see in the near chapter if jihoon is a total BS or not cuz as of now dude's just 17.
& if it's about the time when jihoon made everybody bully her.he didn't intend it happen.he just never wanted her to find out about her p******** rumor & wanted everyone to stop talking to her as he was afraid one of the student could tell her about the rumor but the other students just went ahead and bullied her.anyway i just want her to solve this quickly,save jihoon.whether they are together or not in the future.
I feel like the reason people are still having 2nd male lead syndrome is because Hana’s character wasn’t as well written and thought out as Seo neul’s character. Like we got more seo neul scenes than hana scenes. Hana is cool.....his character just doesnt really have a personality.
Hope the author changes the ending and makes lycan the ML
Y’all are way too easy on these shitty MLs. This backstory still does not justify how he treated the FL. He could have taken the time to explain to his wife why he had to treat her coldly behind the scenes, but he didn’t. He could of helped her receive mental health care when he saw that she was unable to take care of her child, but he didn’t. He left her to die alone and allowed no contact with HER child. You’re claiming this man is emotionally inept, but this still doesn’t justify how badly he treated his wife??? While she was mentally ill he had full control over her life and wellbeing and did literally nothing for her. Currently, there’s no reason to like the ML lmao. I might feel bad for him, but I still hate him.
Did we both read the same chapter her father said he had people in the shadows over her...literally ready to kill her and the baby at any given moment... yeah it was shitty but I do think he didnt know what to do...
It is the time line of events that makes it hard to sympathize. This timeline and the past timeline share a beginning. They both got married while the father in law was secretly threatening the ML. In this timeline before Elle was born the FL dismissed all her shitty servants. And yet the father in law, that should be keeping tabs on everything, did nothing. They have been to multiple pubic events together as a couple, they even wore the same color dress and tie to one of them. That, based on the FL response, is a signal that they are close. And yet the father in law has yet to do anything to the Fl or the Ml.
Now maybe the writer is waiting to do something big down the line with the father in law and his threats, but as of now he ain't done shit. So what was the difference between now and then? If it is just that the Fl is more active now that's gonna be kind of a let down. Like that would make the ML seem super weak as a person and as a noble. His wife, spirit user or no, as a woman she would have less power than he does in society and within the dukedom. And yet she, before reveling her spirit user status, was able to just dismiss her shitty servants. She wasn't told that she had to ask her husband first. She was able to just do it. She had the power all along but was just too abused and depressed to use it.
What is his excuse for letting another man run his house then? Why was he even still letting the father in law come around after gaining the dukedom? You got what you needed from him, you got your power, so ditch his crazy ass. Even if he ditched him after the baby was safely delivered. Like, at that point it should be obvious that things have gotten really nuts. Gather the people you know are yours and kick his folks out. Instead he just kept letting the father in law control things.
EXACTLY. I thought the condition was that if he treated his daughter badly then he would make the ML the duke. Okay well.....the ML became the duke so why did he still treat the FL like shit??? In the current timeline, him treating the FL nicely has had NO CONSEQUENCES so far. He is a whole ass duke now. What is the FIL really gonna do to him??
The ML is now a duke. He could have been ready and prepared to fight those people back and expose the father. Why has the FL not died yet in this timeline if the father has people ready to kill the FL at any given moment???
agree. I'm tired of people that say the ML is a poor man that had no choice ╮(￣▽￣)╭ it soo bs at this point
He has to learn how to talk to his wife. He should know shes soft spoken and sensitive by now
Wtf how did he kill himself???? Did they just randomly leave out lethal medication that the patient could have ACCESS TO????
I was curious about that too like how can they just leave medication there like that（￣へ￣）MC be like aye Imma kill myself with overdose of idk what this is *dies*
Let just say... LOGIC (￣∇￣")
Overdose of any kind can be lethality
