First, how can she not even think about her OG self if she's so worried about her son? (Or as we know as...) she's been there for those many years but wouldnt pave a safety net...(and this is in condsideration of the things she can do woth her 12 yr old body) and how her OG self lived
Second, how could the war be any different than the first if the only change was her soul coming back (all the while having the OG live as she is). We even only ever glossed over the pope coz so many push-and-pull drama is going on.
Third, this whole be-with-Jules but stay-away-from-Jules push and pull is frustrating given the fact that the author conveniently skips thru the tension since they just keep dropping the conversation. Like can't you be anymore obvious that you're dragging it coz you've got a full blown background story you struggled to insert?
Fourth, Eric is just... wow, i feel bad for his character because not only is it just a convenient rival-trigger, his overall disposition would fit the squire better. But i guess his no-name background is more convenient than a squire who could have been a good competitive rival for her and have chemistry with(since he adores Ren). Unfortunately he has some status IG..like what is he even here for anymore.
Anyway, the priorities are messed up and having an exciting panel here and there doesn't really account the fact that the author is buffering on how to push Jules to the edge and make sure the OG Illian doesn't mess it up for Haven LMAO.
And this is just season one, i'm just thinking about how much further it spirals given Jules obsession. This sadist is like a forewarning to how Jules will treat Haven. And im sure it was the mystery deities helping Jules to kill himself the first time since Jules keeps failing here. So I'm going to drop it now, as the future no longer excites me. I feel bad for Raul, too. My boy has been having 3 mothers like a domino substitution.
agreed
Nothing is more twisted than the centerpiece turning black. Like the plot was made for her, it makes her more dangerous regardless if they somehow switched lines...right? Unless the story cares more about roles rather than the OG heroine, I guess I'll only know when the new ML can finally reject her (as it means she's no longer the lead, yeah?)
Ah, also, this means that jail probably would hild this btch lol. She's the Heroine on heroin, I wish her OG illness takes her quicker HAHAHA ...ahem
I feel like an odd one out because the story is pretty cohesive and lovely. Of course there are loopholes like leaving out characters like Irene's brother or sidelining the red head until she pops up at the latter end lmao. Oh and three psychos were like air, except the duke, so there's that. Ah, and I really reread the Leraje explanation arc a lot just do get a gist of what went on HAHAHA that was... well, basically wish granted and Irene's will was tested lol.
Maybe because I'm satisfied immersing myself in Irene's mindset towards Felix and Lerry that I could take the rest of the plot with less emphasis (simplifying them as bad guy with bad ideas mightve done the thing too). OR maybe because I read in one sitting so the arcs are transitioning very well contrary to losing momentum HAHAHA.
Also, I'm really experiencing the 2nd lead syndrome with Lerry. He went through these emotions, going thru impostor syndrome, had his life denied by the person he loved, and by the time he was very sure of himself...it was during their separation. I just love the way the author formed and broke his ego (even if Leraje is hella confusing)
After that ride in the horizon thing, even during the saliva potion... those were clear progress of enlightenment but the author wanted to force another character to pick up on the "oh wait, actually you can still change classifications and REMEMBER, it's shitty to be an omega" like a whipsplash. Like does it even matter if jasper shows his redeeming qualities or that the MC seems to find him attractive? The MC takes a step forward and ten steps back. And I think my gripe is simply the sequence of events or how the MC thinks coz it keeps going back to square one when it comes to "fck, i dont want to be an omega", totally dismissing a lot of the progress.
I think the author wants to show that he isnt fully mature for this series to end. Senpai made him realize that all of them are not just characters and this is his second life. His gender is always based on his partner, the author wants him to have his own choices too.
I guess i needed that to be plotted better. It's great that we're pacing his choices, since it wouldve been too fast anyway, but the mindset feels more like always going back to square one after vamping it to a hundred just as quick as it reached that peak.
Plot itself is cliche, but it still lacked the drama. Might the emotions on the face, the transitions, the sequence. It honestly felt like the feelings dampened and only regret was left after 7 years rather than the "ive loved you for 7 years, i dont want to let you go this time after the stunt i pulled". It gotten to the point where I even wished he'd have retrograde amnesia lol.
But hey, he didnt forgive him easily okay. Literally blocked him out and didnt go to the hospital until he was discharged lmao. Had there been more drama when the mc told the truth, we'd have a better enjoyment of "yeah that's right, you were stupid!"
The family is wholesome though, that's what I loved the most.
Ofc it is still a logical direction of thought to fear a character given the premise of the world he's in, BUT I feel like he really needs to take a step back for a moment and retrace the lapses of the guide book and treasure his relationship with Ilya. It's a shame to isolate Ilya after he declared how he treated his experience and relationships as real. He also pointed out that Siren's lack of appearance in the likeability meter or the fact that his recuperation wasn't in the book.
The bottomline is I hope he rethinks how he is treating Ilya because the guidebook has loopholes compared to his reality... and all he is doing is worsening Ilya's attachment issues.
P.S. this is that one book where I would actually wish Jerry is one of the stereotyped "i can fix him" toxic trait lmao
Also, ALSO. The way I froze and burst out laughing reading Cha Seongbin and my brain autocorrecting it as SEO CHANGBIN HAHAHA but the character design is Raebin hehehe (from Debut or Die
I KNEW I WASN’T GOING TO BE THE ONLY ONE WHO KEPT THINKING OF SEO CHANGBIN LOLOL
Have to keep forcing myself to read CHA seongbin after that ngl
They delve into the movies he acts in beyond just a summary. Srsly, ch73 made me cry, like gutwrenching experience when he dropped that last line of his. And I loved it more when the author re-used that line in his speech because it really becomes a salute to those who fought for Korea's liberation (i might go thru history rant, so I'll leave at that).
Also, with these many chapters, the author never slacked with the pacing. There's little going on outside the work the MC does so we really immerse in the profession of being an actor who goes thru each script, the relations you have with actors, the sentimental purpose of being an influential person thru role-playing and executing a character's life to an audience.
Their bickering are cute and all but that's mostly what these chapters are now. Bickering. I appreciate the art, the time it takes, but the story has been stagnating...
These siblings are so adorable ╮(￣▽￣)╭
