I love Akatsuki no Yona. It's hands down one of my favorite series. Best character development, characters that have big personalities, characters that have depth-it has it all.


But if there's one tiny thing I don't like, it would be how they handle betrayal. Idk, just. I wish they had gotten a little bit angrier for her.

Don't get me wrong. King Il was IL suited(see what I did there) to be king, and him usurping the throne isn't something I'd be mad about, as an ordinary citizen. I'd welcome it in fact, because nobles oblige and what are they good for otherwise you know?

But this goes a bit deeper than that. You're not just a normal citizen, youre a friend.

So me, personally, even if I thought they were doing good, if I see the childhood friend of one of the most important people in my life who betrayed and tried to kill her- I wouldn't even think to say "he doesn't seem like a bad person."

You keep that to yourself. And you show anger and frustration, and you show you don't support or accept them, until told otherwise.

It just bothers me, you know? Like take Lili for example. Yona is basically her only "real" female friend but she waltzes around Soo won and plays around with him like nothing is wrong and that would really hurt me if I was Yona, you know?

Just. I know he did what he did for the good of the country. That he's revolutionizing it and bringing the people closer than ever. But he still betrayed "me" and seeing people who care about me act freely with him like they don't truly care would break me in a way.


For me trust is my biggest value, so seing betrayal just be brushed off is not something I enjoy. And Soo won is one of my favorite characters mind you! He's really incredibly written AND incredibly designed. But still.

He didn't have to take that road. He could have imprisoned her, tried to reason with her, anything. Instead he immediately resorted to killing off his two childhood friends. Not only Yona, but hak-in my opinion his favorite person(not romantically, ya weirdos) -, too.

And it just feels like they've forgiven him. Not just, "I hate you but I love this country more" but fill on "let's put this behind us. I want you to live for no other reason than it's you." And that gets a bit on my nerves.

Not to mention, king il wasn't completely inept. Look, he still kinda sucked. Drugs, slavery, widespread hunger, etc. But those are normal inevitable things that happen in any country, let alone a coyple hundred yesrs ago. I
Heck I live in a first world country and we still deal with all those same problems!!!

But he wasn't just a coward. He stopped his brother, who was a despot and a killer. He gave up territories and weakened the nation, sure- but he was giving reparations to the victims of his brother and his father's legacy-. I'm sure that must have stopped a few wars as well.

He harboured the son of his wife's killed, and the one who would murder him in the certain future. He let him be, even tho he knew how this would end. Because he truly thought that was for the best. Soo won sees him as an inept leader and a scoundrel who kills people, but he only murdered his brother, who is the one who fit both those titles perfectly. The country needs a fearless general to protect itself, but it's leader cannot be a warmonger. Only the poor are trampled and made to pay the most, yet receive the least.

    I completely agree, justice for Yona. I had to drop it a while back because I felt like it was so unfair how everyone was ignoring her very valid hatred for soo won. Especially the whole lili thing that was my last straw, how can you go and face Yona after chilling with her enemy, and still act like her friend. Even ignoring killing her dad he literally hunted her down and now she’ll only get back her father’s throne because he’ll gave it to her. I felt like all the character development yona went through was pushed to the background after soo won made his appearance again.

    who forgive soo won?? i personally don't hate him because he's an interesting character, but i hate his act of killing his childhood friend's dad etc no matter the reason. it's unforgivable. i think lili doesn't know at all about the previous emperor death.

    She does tho ?? She says it herself. That even tho she gets along with his Majesty she is still on yo as side. She's not _that_ dumb.
    I just personally don't think if you were on someone's side you would be able to get along with the person who hurt them like that

    ooh i forgot it has been so long. yeah this comic has problem in that most characters seems forgiving or "get along" with each other even including yona. but this comic can just make it feel natural... as reader i can only accept it and move along. after all plot is more important (it's not)

    I dropped it bc I felt bad for soo won like..idk I just hate her dad. but like idk what's going on rn bc I dropped it a while back

    The complete opposite for me, I felt bad for yona. Soo won’s dad was so much worse than hers anyway. Other than being too much of a pacifist her dad wasn’t that bad, her war criminal uncle on the other hand…

    Her dad wasn't that bad. He wasn't perfect but you can never be perfect as a ruler. Obv I disagree with a lot of the things he did but Soo eons father, as the alternative, would have been so much worse

Hopeless_shipper June 20, 2024 10:32 pm

Let me guess....he needs to be pierced by the crimson king himself. So, he antagonizes them and especially hak as her greatest weakness so she grows angry enough to let them go.


But that's so silly, Zeno.
Can't you see she couldn't even properly hate the one who killed her family and turned her life upside down? The one who tried to kill her and Hak as well?

How is she supposed to hate you, who shares her blood and a soul tie?

    OMG THIS COMMENT JUST FOR REAL ..YONA IS JUST TOO KIND

Hopeless_shipper June 16, 2024 12:01 pm

I genuinely wish he died so that his suffering would end and the bitch would be sad forever


The only good thing about this story was seeing him suffer. He didn't even change he just became dependant

Hopeless_shipper June 14, 2024 7:52 am

Stop commenting I can't like every comment



But on another note why are they talking like that lmfao why abbreviate size as siz, that's what I imagine SZA would call her sister

DAMN

This is so funny to me. I saved this in my to read list just two years ago.

I was going through it now, and found this. It's funny because this is a story I would have no interest in, but I wanted to read it just two years ago. Ppl change so quickly and looking through my readings list is one of the funniest ways to prove it cause I came across some stuff I wouldn't touch now lol.

Hopeless_shipper June 11, 2024 8:06 pm

Yo I clicked on the cover but what are these tags...

Surprisingly tho the reviews are really good so???


I don't like incest especially if it's modern. I can excuse it if it's in the context of stuff like game of thrones, what with Targaryen and Lannisters. But there's no sinopsis at all so idk what to expect.


If it's treated as an important plot point and it's psychological and really good I might stomach it, but if it's just treated as a porn plot point I'm out so I need to know

Hopeless_shipper June 11, 2024 7:57 pm

So like how's this going.....I let it Marinate for more episodes, but then I saw a spoiler that he went through HEAVY abuse and sexual assault :(

That's ok as long as the story treats it with the dignity it deserves. But then I saw a panel of her smirking and looking all dark and. Just tell me she isn't the perpetrator of his woes :(((

I can't have abusive female lead with an abused male lead that would hurt me too much I need her to be nice to him pls tell me she is yall

    Alisyia June 11, 2024 9:30 pm

    HELP NO SHE ALSO GOT ABUSED AS A KID you probably mean the scene from chp 149-151 smth where she was talking with the ml and she told him to just continue liking her as is

Hopeless_shipper June 11, 2024 7:44 pm

I love the pope

Now that's not a phrase I thought you'd catch me say lmao.

Ok but seriously he's by fair my favorite.

The prince just doesn't do it for me cause prince+muscle head personality+redhead, and the merchant is nice but bland.

The pope is the yandere who gets tamed and maybe I'm just kinky but I find that attractive af. Just, men that want to chan you to them but understand that a chain goes both ways. As much as one side can pull, the other can pull just as hard.

In most stories like this mc end up with the demon lord but he was introduced kinda late with close to zero development so far other than "she's interesting~" (I swear j cant with that trope lmao) and the story is coming to it's end so idk anymore.

In all actuality this will probably end in an open ending as most harems do.

Which I'm fine with as long as it's not a harem ending cause I think that's a bismurchment of true love. I don't mind it for certain stories but idk, she's led a difficult life where people didn't love her and so she wasn't able to love people either. She deserves someone to truly and completely share that with. These are just my own moral ideals tho.

Honestly as long as it's not with the prince I'm good lmfao

    Just_another_fujoshi June 16, 2024 6:14 pm

    Lol I feel the same as long as it's not the prince but the pope is giving killing stalking vibes and that is not what I want for my gurl,

    plus the prince is immature and impulsive throwing a tantrum if this doesn't go his way.

    the merchant he is bland, but I think he's sweet and by how the relationships goes with the individual ML's with the FL the merchant is the only one who treats her like a regular human being and don't glorify her like some object and not a real person.

    And with the pope with that overly worshipping her is kinda worring, I've read a lot of manwha similar to this with the yanadere type trope if you know you know girl, it's giving If I can't have you no one else can and babes it always goes left in the worst way but let's see what happens next I'm so excited
