this definitely isnt the type of shoujo that values pacing like yubisaki to renren or kimi ni todoke which im not surprised about since its the same author as living no matsunaga-san, a story that had its share of frustrations. idk whats up with the author and having the ml make mistakes while the fl easily forgives him. if it weren't for the amazing artstyle these works can easily be mistaken for something written in the 2000s - a period of shoujo that i cherish but is SOO problematic when you look back at it in this time and age
call me slow for only now realizing the underling who got killed by potato's biological dad, and the kid from chap 140 is the same person. and the red necklace that underling wore is the bracelet papa wolf has.
knowing how fcking diabolical taeha is, he mustve planned everything surrounding haesoo from the start, including mincheol's job. id like to think he didnt plan it expecting mincheol to find a btch but considering how fragile mincheol's position in the company seems taeha may be waiting for the right moment to drop him, him cheating on haesoo was just a bonus. now i can just imagine the atomic bomb that drops once we get our flashback on the first time taeha and haesoo met cause wtaf did she do to make him so fcking whipped for her???
- unfamiliar scent (maybe cus taeha's wearing expensive clothes? expensive cologne? we know he tries to wear cheap stuff so haesoo doesn't figure things out)
- he texted her to come out. i honestly cant imagine taehee (his brother) stealing his phone to lure her out
- somehow, i do remember taeha having a watch but i cant be bothered to go through the other chapters (edit: chap 36 coverpage). however we do see that taehee's watch (panel where he's outside the building) is silver with a silver bezel unlike taeha's which is also silver but with a blue almost black bezel
- he has NO PIERCING HOLES
detective pikachu rests their case
theyre not showing her awful family anymore. i hope we can see them put in their places alot more cause im not fcking satisfied
WARNING if youre looking for a quality mature manga, this shouldnt be in ur radar. its the type of story u only read cause the art is good. im the type of person who has to finish a story i got invested in regardless of how shitty it turned out so im like obligated to see this to the end. if i were you, go read something else lmao
my only complaint is how were at chap 51 and theres hardly been any major plot after carrot dude left. its all taeha being sinister and sneaky so im fully convinced its gonna take like 100 chapters until we get a flashback
ik theres some comedic relief about their whole situation in the future but im just emotional of how tian kept his promise; he worked hard to make money so he could take care of mo and mo, despite stuffing all the stuff tian gave him in a sealed box after tian left, he still brought it with him to the apartment i cant
fun fact: mo is carrying the box filled with memories of tian, the one from chap 461
the entire story is just a whole complex and messy blob of emotional obsession for emi that fuels remilia's thirst for revenge. i probably haven't read a better revenge story than this; it perfectly depicts very dark and heavy themes that i think naturally sprouts from an ambition driven by hate and aggression. because of this hate remilia was willing to do the most grotesque things for emi, a far cry from other revenge stories with revenge MC's who never seem to have a bad bone in their body. like- you can't possibly torture people (regardless of how loud you scream "justice") and still remain a squeaky clean heroine. and at this era of literature, no one wants a mary sue. thats what makes remilia so unique, she's unapologetically vile because she was provoked. its the perfect personification of "my villian origin story"
altho because of this obsession with emi, i do wonder if remilia only accepted angel's proposal either because she really loved him or because he said he loved her while seeing her memories where emi was possessing her body. so basically she marries him because he "loves" emi?
honestly couldnt even put the story down to the point that id constantly refresh if the page lagged, and as someone with a bit of ADHD thats saying something. but the story overall is very lacking. good plot, good art style, yet its missing something. you have an adorable baby wat more do you need right?? idk i think the author focused too much on getting the story over with (adding more depth to the mystery and the anget) that we werent able to enjoy any in-betweens. more mu scenes??? i was expecting so much building up to the ending then boom. nothing.
plus, i absolutely despise how noah had to constantly chase after kyle as if he was the last man on earth. not to mention him always being a drama queen, making her feel bad and confused instead of admitting long before that he liked her?? adrian had more personality in his pinky finger. noah had more spunk at the beginning too, then after getting her body back shes lost her backbone. total wasted potential of a story
if im not mistaken:
* tia marries perez and becomes empress by TITLE, perez does most if not all of the imperial duties while tia focuses on her matriarchal duties
* on their wedding, perez announces that he'd be living at the lombardi estate with tia, to show his support for her being the matriarch
* tia gets pregnant before they even get married
also, isnt it absolutely satisfying how jovanes hates perez because he's the spitting image of his father the previous emperor, who never believed he was right for the throne? like, complex much lmao
