bug Percy Jackson. That's the vibes I'm getting. He's just less sarcastic. But basically bug Percy Jackson
WHY IS LARA AND LYCAN SO HOT??? ON GOD MARILYN BETTER END UP WITH ONE IF THEM MY BI HEART CANNOT TAKE THIS
Idk what I was expecting with the title that's on me I guess but do y'all really think the FL raping the ML is okay? Is she REALLY a strong female lead? That isn't okay y'all excusing this shit need help. Yes, I know that rape happens and is a sad reality of this world but to have one of the leads rape the other lead and expect us to ship them, to want them to have a romantic relationship?? Like wtf. You can't have romance on top of severe abuse like this. And don't come at me about this being fiction, fiction influences people's perceptions and can also be a gateway to horrible ideaology, just like how people get sucked into alt-right conspiracies online through shit like memes.
Omg I played this on Maybe Interactive that wild that they've turned it into a manhwa. The story was pretty good and I like the ML, never cared for the second lead
Maybe turned the novel into a game.
Am I the only one getting Final Fantasy vibes from the setting and character designs?
Just saying for everyone who aren't familiar with the term, parentification is either when a child takes on parental roles through taking care of younger siblings in the stead of their parents or taking on heavy emotional burdens through becoming their parents therapist, confidant, and generally who their parents go to for emotional labor. Generally AFAB people tend to experience parentification than AMAB people due to societal gender norms and ideals and tends to occur a lot in households with a narcissistic parent or structuring with the parents needs Being prioritized. Being a child therapist to your parent is pretty damaging since kids are not able to handle and process adult emotional labor in that manner.
As someone who became a therapist to their mom as a child I've noticed that it personally causes a lot of resentment and bitterness once I became more self aware about the relationship, especially after she got a bf and pretty much abandons my brother and I for days at a time yet whenever she's around I'm still doing emotional labor. And it's like I'm always walking on eggshells around her, and I'm so naturally so attuned to her emotions that if I sense anything is off like she's sad, upset, anxious, etc it ruins my whole day until her mood changes and often times through me "fixing it." I grew up being a people pleaser too because of her and often times would sacrifice my own needs and even physical belongings for the sake of someone else, whether it be my mom or one of my peers.
It seems like since his brother killed himself, that Jaemin became his mom's therapist at a young age and prolly was so until she left and got remarried. He's had no time to grieve for his brother himself since he had to instantly hide and stifle his own feelings in order to take care of his mom's.
Ohhhhh
I love the MC she's funny asf. Also are y'all telling me y'all wouldn't fuck shit up in game? Especially when you're stuck in it and it's a historical and really misogynistic setting? Y'all I would say fuck the game and yeet off or spark a revolution it really wasn't super hard back then for things to change like that. Isn't even that hard today considering there's modern day coups going on rn like in Myanmar :/ but imagine just saying a big fuck you to the emperor and abolish royal families in the game in favor of a gov that's more friendly to the everyday people. Idk those are always just my thoughts on isekais cause ik everyone's modern asses would be miserable in historical and fantasy settings.
She will fall in to coma if she dies so I would have been careful in her place
The FLs hair annoys tf outta me so much her fucking chunky part and bangs and stupid cowlick just uggh
me too it's bothering me so much
Just saying if Lester wasn't conventionally attractive then y'all would hate his guts. What he did can be considered grooming considering he took Yuri in as a minor (mentally she wasn't but her body is and that's what counts no matter how "mature" a person is, a minor is still a minor and to everyone in that world she was a minor at the time we the readers are the only ones who know of her past life). Even if she is mentally an adult, she was still vulnerable as she said. Lester was a grown man with money in a position of power in a highly misogynistic society where women have very limited power and roles. She was a poor preteen girl who left her home on her own to pursue her passions. She was vulnerable. He took under his wing and transformed her appearance to better pass the stereotypical idea of what a man looks like in order to pursue her passions and she's stuck in that mold in order to keep doing what she wants to do in life due to the world setting being the way it is. Misogyny won't go away from one brilliant woman doing brilliant things. If that's the case then the real world would be a safe place for women and we'd be recognized truly as equals. But it isn't and even after thousands of years of badass and brilliant women we still gotta fight for body autonomy in the U.S. amongst many other things. It just doesn't work that way y'all. She wouldn't have been able to change the whole world or possibly even easily been able to do what she does as a woman. Her feelings and trauma surrounding her gender identity and her situation are valid and very realistic. I'm glad the manhwa addresses that. I have lots of mixed feelings for Lester tbh and I am incredibly glad he isn't the ML. Like idk I feel like everyone will say it's a stretch for me to say he is a bad guy but realistically, in the real world, he is. We see that shit happen all the time. So yeah. That's just my thoughts on Lester rn
not you writing a whole thesis on a fictional story that don't even exist
Yeah, you're right mate. thanks for writing this, you have a lot of good points
Hey I completely agree with everything you said and honestly because I had an experience with grooming in the past I always felt weird about Lester's feelings for her. Like even though this is a fictional story that doesn't negate the fact that grooming in general is such a thing that should be frowned upon.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. And yeah people choose to overlook shit like this in fiction to simp over a hot character and it does rub me the wrong way cause like well there's hot characters everywhere and this is some pedophilia type shit that effects real life people all the time like :l
Yes but it's not like he tried to do things to her or anything. He knows his feelings for her and he knows how to keep himself away. And it's not like he planned this to happen it's just happen. You can't help who fall for. And I'm sure that she was the one who suggested to become a man in order to sell her clothes. He didn't plan to fall for her or anything and it's it's not like he has bad intentions towards her. And since he knew that if she stayed a women she would most likely fail because she's a women so i wouldn't blame Lester if he thought that she wouldn't succeed as a women and not just a women but a commoner.
When he first saw her he didn't really judge her off her gender it was only until when he saw her talent that he understood that she was talented. And because there was scams like faking talent before he didn't know weather to believe her or not when she said she had something amazing to show him. But overall this is fiction.
Yeah, i agree with you both
BUG PERCY JACKSON! He's just waaaay less snarky. Got the looks down pat tho
