damn the author is really good at framing using the rope from the shrine bell to visually mimic hanging/death & also the paneling/passage of time using the same figure w diff details has got me :’)
so sad that so many of these characters have sad back stories but tbh I kinda expect it bc they’re in this profession & previous chapters already show that the author isn’t afraid of making things tragic
I’m scared ngl even tho ik hyo is older & not a child, this is still a but weird to me cause taehyuk sees him as one/raised him :’) o well I’ll just come back when the flashback ends~
Considering the idea that hyeon is a bit of a control freak I low key feel like he has at least an inkling of a feeling that yiseon is not ok, but he’s just deluding himself/telling himself everything is ok… and that he has control over yiseon when he doesn’t really
yeah, he's too self-confident and too in love, so he doesn't want to accept it ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Yeahh I agree w you; this is exactly how I see it
Ik lots of ppl are either conflicted over the story/characters or they hate them but tbh I enjoyed reading this
Yeah me too but i think I'm just like that I'll read something and not think too deeply about it just because
THIS CHAPTER WAS SO FRICKIN FUNNY LMAO XDD esp w peace’s facial expressions XDDD
Just finished reading chapter 47 & I’m so shook about what really happened to deon & everyone else :’) I didn’t expect this to be so tragic and sad since the beginning was more of an action comedy ;w;w;
The way I see things… the emperor barely saw his son ever; I feel like he’d rarely know if he’s being mistreated. I mean like based on previous chapters, he was just super neglectful & the prince literally also hardly/never met w him bc of his toxic controlling mother so I don’t blame the emperor for not knowing anything/caring about the prince. If anything, I feel like he thought the prince was as bad/evil as his mother, which is why he looks so surprised in this chapter when ettienne (idk how to spell) cares for rishar.
Trauma is difficult to get understand in all aspects & it takes time for people to either heal from it or accept someone else who is related to it. It’s the same way with the prince :’) so I personally can’t hate the emperor or the prince or anyone else (except for the mother…) bc I do sympathize with them. Just my opinion tho ofc you’re free to hate whoever you want.
neglect is a form of abuse. i feel that you CAN blame him for not knowing anything or caring because he actively chose to neglect and cast his son aside. if he hadn’t done so since the beginning, there would be no reason for him to believe that his son was as bad/evil as his mother.
i can understand why he did what he did, since the empress forced herself onto him to have said child. however, a child who has done nothing wrong is innocent. idk i just feel that if you are a parent especially, it doesn’t matter the circumstance. it is completely inexcusable to abuse a child innocent from the faults of their parent.
however, you are also free to feel however you do lol
Oh yeah you do make a really good point (I think I was trying to figure out which was the lesser of two evils and I totally glossed over the neglect portion) ;w;
tbh the more I think about it, the more confusing it feels in my brain bc I mentioned before that the emperor probs doesn’t know entienne is being abused by his mother but then the emperor is also abusing him too (just in a different way) so our prince is basically suffering bc of both of them. Anyway, I’m glad Rishar came back bc I still remember when he mentioned to the emperor that he mistreated entienne from day one & the shook look on his face cause bro didn’t even think about how much he was hurting his son :’)
Hm yeah I don’t think the father understands just how much the prince is suffering bc of him. I’m still empathetic towards the emperor but it def doesn’t forgive his actions. I think if the emperor doesn’t actually help the prince in some way in the next few chapters, then I may lose my sympathy for him XD
yes, i agree. it’s difficult! i can be sympathetic towards him because we know that there is trauma there for him, which explains why he does what he does. and though i understand his response to this trauma, i do not condone it. it may sound a bit insensitive, but i believe that having trauma is not grounds to inflict trauma onto others.
that being said, i completely agree with you here. hopefully in the upcoming chapters the emperor is able to open his eyes and see what’s really going on. i hope that he is able to help entienne and even possibly form a familial bond with him! however if he continues on the path he has been on, my mind may be set on hoping for his downfall along with the prince’s terrible mother too! XD
aww I wish this had more chapters :’) idk why it’s marked complete when I’m sure it isn’t. Also I’m curious about the blond ashen eyes mc :oo cause he hasn’t had much screen time after minje showed up
I get that some ppl think tsuwabuki is annoying & I do understand—but like the way I see it, the reason why he has shit self esteem and is so selfless and kind is bc of the way he grew up. He was an illegitimate son, someone who was shunned from the entire wolf clan & was thus a servant instead of a young master. The fact that he basically got demoted at such a young age & most everyone treated him badly probably makes him feel like he’s of less worth (& that his sister, who has pure wolf blood is better suited as the god’s wife). I’m sure he’s always wanted to be accepted by his half sister & everyone else too… which is why he believes her words & why he’s now in this situation :’)
I’m hoping he’ll be ok though & that he’ll be less of a dummy in the future after healing from past trauma <3
same thoughts!! i thought his behavior makes sense considering how he’s been treated growing up
hopefully he can heal from now on (=・ω・=)
Aww the drunk lil pomchi at the bottom is so cute
