i forgot his name - but he's ian's older brother & the guy who had a crush on jiwoo. honestly, because he's hot, despite hating him for what he did to jiwoo during the academy arc, i did hold out hope for him as he seemed to be genuinely fond of jiyoung. however, his growing insecurity & negativity towards jiwoo makes me feel like the fondness is now turning towards the objectification of jiyoung - like she's j a trophy he thought he'd eventually obtain & is upset jiwoo got her first
+ i understand how shounen manhwas go - it's j a repeat of fighting the same kind of villain until the Mastermind Arch Villain Ever comes forward, but if i have to go through ALL of that stupid, arrogant, good-for-nothing, BLIND antagonist again the way we had to with duke, i think i'm seriously gonna raise hands. especially when jiyoung is included in this mix. i'd hate it for her to feel like she's responsible for this freak targeting jiwoo j because she rejected him
i do have a BIT of hope that he won't be as annoying as duke due to him being older, having much more to lose as the direct successor/apprentice, & the way he has been doing a relatively Aight job at hiding his disdain & insecurity, but with the appearance of eclipse & the new person/group who encouraged duke to take it, i'm worried how this will develop his arc
i do j wish the author would give him a redemption arc... we don't get enough of those... the last one was that gravity (?) freak & even his wasn't really a redemption, more of an explanation to his insane bullshit. + this dude is genuinely j really hot & if i was transmigrated into this story, you can bet my ass i'd be doing the most to be the "i can change him!" girl. it'd be nice to see him saving jiwoo, eventually liking jiwoo & becoming rival mentors with jiyoung (as in, he spars his younger brother & when jiwoo & jiyoung go at it, they both argue over who's better - it'd be nice to see him develop a good relationship with jiyoung)
idk man... he's too hot to turn evil...
i'm j being a hater rn because i'm j in a pissy mood today & then i see him, LOL. (& of course, i absolutely hate the council lady too, but everyone's hating on her already, so)
lowkey annoying as hell to see him being the one to desperately search for siyeol when i'm already so freakishly stressed out for siyeol. like i truly dgaf about you rn. ntm it ending with him getting angry at mc??? j because mc smells like siyeol??? what? does he think mc was the reason siyeol ended up being chemically repressed or whatever? or is he jealous or something? i was under the impression he doesn't like siyeol romantically & i may still stand by it depending on how future chapters are, but if he keeps up with liking siyeol like this, i might start disliking him more & more (primarily because he was rude to mc, like??? you go getting fucked regularly by a guy who hates siyeol & is constantly one-upping & berating you, & you're getting upset at sweetie pie mc who smells like siyeol??? get tf outta here, you have no right to be upset)
AAA I'M J SOOO PISSED OFF & ANGRY BECAUSE THE CHAPTER IS SO FREAKING SHORT & WE GOT SM USELESS PANELS OF THIS GUY INSTEAD OF A PROPER DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLOT, IT'S SO ANNOYINGGG
took a break from reading eleceed because i wanted this arc to be over with since i hated duke sm & FINALLY!! HE DIED!! AT THE HANDS OF HIS TEACHER TOO!! ugh, i hate that his teacher looked upset when killing him off but frankly, even duke's attitude at the end of his life obviously showed he learned absolutely nothing from his fight with jiwoo. he only saw a chance to continue taking & taking from schnauder. it almost feels like he could be manipulating schnauder at some point or something, lol. i'm j a bit sad because duke was actually one of my favourite characters when he was first released, but his descent to madness made it difficult to continue liking him, especially when he went the really pathetic & petty route. the fact he was still like that at the end too is j crazy to me
genuinely dgaf about her backstory or whatever reason she has. she doesn't give a fuck about siyeol, so why the fuck should anyone give her any leeway? ntm siyeol never purposely made everyone's lives harder/made people miserable, but she did & she's sooo upset when people don't j shut up & take it (maybe the way she did, but again, why the fuck should anyone care, lol). having an explanation for doing smth never justifies it









does he like yuu, or does he like the yuu who's in love with tsubaki? considering his personality, i wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter because yuu & tsubaki's love is drastically different compared to all of his previous ones
