reread it and everyone sucked at some point, even the mc.
1. the mc never said anything to clarify things first, he always only responded to others' accusations and then always barely.
exhibit a: he never put his bully spouting bs like "why always kang and never me", idk how he could look at him with a straight face and not respond "obv bc you're a fucking bully and i hate and you're the source of my sufferings at school and almost gangraped me in a shed" with a disguted expression.
exhibit b: saying "im sorry it's my fault" when kang accused him of cheating on him with hannah bc he saw them talk twice, in public, bit he assumed they were client and escort.
he's also a fucking dumbass, like how could he have misunderstood kang's confession in highschool and thought he eanted to be friends with benefit so he "didn't have any right to be mad" and accepted kang's bc bc he "didn't deserve him". (tho it's also on kang to not have corrected his misunderstanding)
2. kang's a fucking asshole and a brainless idiot who assumes shit, believes irrelevant people, never clarifies with mc and becomes rude and downright disgusting bc of his assumptions.
he is maybe not the source of the misunderstandings (since he was influenced by muchan's lies) but he sure is the fuel to the fire. He’s always so sure of being in the right that he never stops to use his brain for anything other than overthinking. he has a holier than thou attitude in most of the story that makesme want to hit his smug ass face with a baseball bat.
his only redeeming aspect is the way he suffered from marking him for 7 years and how he begged for forgiveness (tho not enough imo, but what can we do it doesn't have enough chapters)
3. muchan (the bully) is a brainless and cruel bully and nothing else, i don't even know why he thought he had the right to even be a 2nd male lead. he's the antagonist if nothing else. he's the personification of the abuse glorifying, outdated and disgusting saying of "he picks on you bc he likes you" and he's the type i hate the most. why did he think he had any right to spout bs like "i always thought about how to make him happy" all the while being one of the biggest source of misfortune in mc's life, bullying him, telling ppl he sold his body, balckmailing him into going to a sex club to show him that kang was there in a stupid attempt to break them up by making him disgusted with him even tho he was the one who pressured kang into going there if he wanted him to stop bullying the mc, exploiting his sister, spreading lies about his sister and his daughter to exploit her even more and ruin her reputation and career and going to harass him in his place of work. and he still has the gall to say "choose me, love me, want me". fucking bastard deserves to rot in jail.
another dumb fl that 1. doesn't realise not taking the ceremony doesn't mean she doesn't have a skill. 2. doesn't realise that she sees things others don't. 3. doesn't realise she's not powerless. 4. thinks she deserved to be abused and neglected by her father. 5. isn't even the least bit curious about belatedly having the skill ceremony now.
and also why does the sister that obviously pieced things together that the fl has a purifying skill keeps her in the dark? it's like those shitty parents that know their child was diagnosed with adhd or autism but hid it from them and when their child who struggled their whole childhood gets a diagnosis as an adult and tells them, they just go "oh, i knew. you got diagnosed as a child"
by sister i means the nun in the covent
#1 that's not her fault as that stuff is usually carried out by a parent/guardian
#2-4 is contributed by her isolation(etiquette lessons can only get you so far) she needed social interaction by more than a trash fiance, oblivious sister, and useless father
Plus if the family is known for healing and the mc doesn't go outside she would never be exposed to it or even know what to look for if she's a late bloomer
I will agree with everything from #5 onwards usually this type of plot only last about one-shot/1 book so to pad it out they have to withhold information somewhere since the setting is so closed
the fl is dumb. especially in her interpersonal relationships and how she has no awareness to refuse other men's advances. like even tho she hides her relationship with louis, it doesn't stop her from saying "sorry I'm taken", she just has to hide that she's taken by louis. but no, instead she lets a random man play with her hair (which is weird to do even if the girl is single), doesn't react when he says he's taken an interest in her and isn't offended by him basically saying that he chose her as his escort knight only to have some eye candy during his stay.
idk why every flirty type of male characters aren't even flirty but just harass women and call it flirting. just a bunch of creeps
why did they just skip the mayor name dropping that one noble's name during the child kidnapping incident tho? like he's clearly behind some shit
I'm rereading it, and it's always so funny to me when they name something/someone with black fur/hair and it's either kuro (black in japanese), noir (black in french like in this mamga) or schwarz (black in german)
i don't fuck with yanderes that supposedly love the fl but don't respect her as a person and just treats her as a pet
and what kind of dumbass is she even to say "you'll cheat in the future so let's breakup", does she have any brain cells? like any at all?
a beautiful story about life and death with amazing visual. the only thing to criticize is the way women are drawn.
they all have the same body type of big butt and huge boobs and wear little to no clothing, even in childhood flashbacks of damia and fahel who are between 16 and 17yo so they're even younger in the flashbacks, it's disgusting. the only women not sexualized were sven's daughter and damia's maid. and for having pretty historically accurate armours, they had the most inaccurate clothes for damia and the emperor's female guards
and it's a shame that such a beautiful webtoon is tainted by that sexualisation
yet another endlessly forgiving bottom that keeps all his grievances amd suffering bottled up
and yet another endlessly punishing top that makes ppl suffer without repercussions, while thinking he's in the right but taking a little insult as a crime deserving capital punishment. thinking himself the worst victim in the world and punishing everyone for it while claiming he loves them
