I unironically think that Haga is one of the most fascinating ideas to come from this entire story which is why I’m so disappointed with how he was handled.
It would be one thing if he was just a villain standing in the way of their true love but the fact that he was sexually assaulted in his formative years by a teacher whom he trusted due to the fact that he was a switch which caused him to reject his submissive side and fully focused on his dominance side and just so happen to find someone who he would be able to do that work is fascinating.
I think it’s really interesting. The fact that the characters in the story seem to underestimate his trauma because if they knew the root cause of it, I think they would be moving more gently instead of how aggressive they do it and I don’t think the long-haired guy would especially taunt him.
That being said, I am disappointed at the ending due to the fact that after he breaks down they go hey It’s ok let’s fix this and then it’s reveal that he is going to be facing his identity as a switch and that’s all fine and good but like if his trauma is strong enough to cause all of this, I don’t think it would be resolved over breaking down one time like give him his own story to face this. Commit to the idea that you made.
I genuinely believe that this is one of the best representation of just because the character is nice doesn’t mean he’s naïve because he’s very strong and is very kind and nice but like he will still murder you in cold blood for harming his friends and you know what. that makes him a king
I just want to say she is MUCH stronger than me because if I had her life and suddenly had to marry him, I would crash the fuck out. They would have to invent inpatient care for the levels of suicide I would bring to the table. A farmer’s wife? A FARMER’S WIFE?!? I can’t even be a farmers wife now I would NOT survive as her. So the fact that she wakes up each every day? God bless.
I’m so sorry, but they caught feelings too fast her especially because this man is not your ally The first time you guys meet it’s a brief encounter somewhat positive. OK. The second time you meet, he is dragging you through the mud in public And as you walk away, he grabs you. The third time you guys get drunk in a public space together because he specifically wants to hear you speak your mind so drugs you with a specific goal in mind. The fourth time you guys meet it’s in a conference room and he does nothing while people are dragging you through the mud for the second time Go back for you to cut your hair and then he pulls you into a hug. He is not a hero he is your enemy!!!
I think it’s so funny everyone is complaining about the fact that we haven’t got the second couple story (me Included) But it just hit me that there is no second couple because the friend literally doesn’t have a life outside of the MC. I mean, does he really yeah but narratively no, his own family likes MC more than him.
If anyone ever treats you like how he treats his friend you need to leave that friendship
I think it’s so funny. The reason why people are mad at him because I want to say nine out of ten times the reason it’s so silly and I know it’s a little comic but guy please be for real like the fact that people were telling himself that he can’t do anything right despite the fact that the main love interest escape through the window because he’s insane. I really just need justice for him to get a happy ending. I need him to save the day I don’t know how I don’t know how but please save the day king
I hate when I see a really fine character and then they are relegated to the background like red haired bully and overwork Deputy manager I see you and I love you
Hopefully since the Focus is shifting to the school, Subaru might make a appearance again and actually get involved in the plot but not as a fan or a villain
As someone who reads the leaks, the best friend still hasn’t gotten a side story he’s not even in the new one STILL. I don’t know about you, but I have never seen a community so disconnected with an author in every language its translated in
The only way I find it describe the plot is it went from worse to worser because just when you think things are getting bad, the situation will worsen You can count on that
I know ppl hate him but I think he’s such a interesting character because he goes through so much like imagine finding out the woman you broke off your engagement for and you love with all your heart is really your sister and then you find out that the reason why you can’t get married is your sister and The reason why the woman you’re in love with is hated so much is because of you and your actions and then you find out that you’re adopted and then you get cancer like Jesus Christ.
The pink haired girl deserves everything that’s coming to her, but that also means it will negatively impact the Brother. She says she wants to create a future and where her brother is able to smile but honestly, I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think he’s going to die if his cancer because he’s not gonna wanna live anymore and so he’s just going to accept it and die. Or he’s going to be stuck in a loveless marriage with his original partner. Like I think they’re gonna give him the villainess treatment and that’s crazy. (villainess treatment being the two options of death or loveless marriage that traditional villainess used to get as their ending)
I also think it’s interesting how even though the sister wants to save him right now all she can do is damn him to hell. I hope he doesn’t do anything because despite his actions he does seem sensible, but I’m just scared that he’s going to do something as he seems to value the pink hair girls life over his own.
I think the side characters were so interesting but I really fascinated by Aries, especially because he is so young already in this life of crime
I think he should get with King I think that would be a really cute ending to his story because the whole reason he did it, but he did was mostly because he fell in love with Zeus
I think it’s really fascinating that a lot of people are mad at him because his actions are 100% reasonable. Like he’s in a group that revolves around assassinating bad people and they literally won’t let him do anything. They treat them like a child and say it’s for his own good when he’s a grown man. And while he does revolve around intelligence gathering they make it kind of clear that he’s not special in doing so because the MC also does it. He wants to start actually contributing to the organization because if not then what’s the point of him even being saved?
I think out of all the three couples, him and boss are definitely the most tragic which is kinda telling
If the main couple deserves happiness, I think that the ex also deserves happiness. Can we see him? Has he moved on? Is he in love with someone else? Is he struggling to get over his toxic relationship like let’s catch up with him!
and if the author really wanted to be about that drama, they would make him get with woojin Because we already know he’s a bottom and the ex is a top and both ride or dies for their best friends. (Also Because we literally know nothing about the red haired guy)
He is such a funny, funny individual because he’s ready to crash out over nothing all the time and because he’s the sage he doesn’t look like the type. But if Alan tells him you need to die, he’s gonna die or if the town is burn, he’s gonna be like what temperature do you want me to cook them at like he’s so funny
I understand he was the villain of the first life, but the way he is treated in the second life is so concerning because they essentially treat him like a pest. Like he’s interrupting them by wanting to hang out with his sister and at the time, friend when he is incredibly lonely, which is part of the reason why he lashes onto his sister so much.
I also don’t like the fact that they took away him being MLM like I know part of the reason why I was him being obsessed, but he should still be very much interested in men like that that’s weird. I don’t know. I just feel so bad for him. I feel like he doesn’t really have a friend in anyone.
I think the people who claimed to be allies for Harold are really bad allies. Like they claim to support him, but they never actually support anything. He is doing that makes sense like he says not to do something and they do it. Like he was very explicit saying, I don’t want anyone to know about what happened to the servant and her daughter not only did they let people find out they are spreading it even further. He says he doesn’t want this marriage get the people on his side are forcing it to happen. Like they almost oppose him every step of the way, it’s weird. It’s giving me vibes as people who say they only want the best for you, but are always working against you.
Woojin’s life is unironically a tragedy. Literally NO ONE in his life really cares about him. His mother loves his manipulative best friend way more than him. His older brother never really cared (I think we don’t see him much). His best friend dropped him for some dick and nearly killed him and then forced woojin to tell him his crush and much more. The only person who cares about him (I hope) is his crush but we don’t see him a lot and woojin does give him the time of day since he’s so convinced that his best friend is the most important thing in his life even more then his own
I don’t recommend spoilers normally, but if you’re going to start this, please read the spoilers and then decide if you want to continue it. It’s Much better if you know the spoiler because you’re not blind, but what happens and hate it
The concept is amazing. The execution is ehhhhhhh.
Starting with her parents, they are unequivocally bad people however their thought process makes a lot of sense. She was born to be Empress which is The hardest jobs in the entire entire kingdom hands down. I would say it’s harder than the Emperor. Like from the minute, she was born of kingdom the fact that her mom was stressed. The fuck out makes sense to me because if the daughter ever failed in her role, it would look horrible on her mother and the family and they are not doing good.
Ludwig was by my favorite character alongside Beatrice because they are such interesting takes on the Child groomed to be the best. A lot of people didn’t understand why he hated her, but it makes sense because she got away from the nightmare. He was still living in until his death. She represented everything he couldn’t and because she was running the family his happy ending was rapidly decreasing. I also like Beatrice, I don’t have a lot to say on her because I feel like she was the villainess who didn’t want to be the villain and we seen that before, but it was still very interesting and it’s always always interesting in any manhwa it’s in.
I’d like the Main characters parents, but they felt to silly like I like that they stood up for the female lead to leave her parents because they were actively abusing her, They made her a worse Empress than her and her first life. And also, they didn’t feel like good rulers. They were great parents and Parental figures, but that doesn’t translate to running a kingdom. The way they treated Ludwig was kind of weird because as soon as he showed up, they were like what is the best way we can get rid of him as a problem which is crazy.
End it felt like they were trying to stick as many things as they can on the wall, but by then nothing was sticking like the fact that the commoner turned swordmaster told the prince you only hate me because my blood isn’t noble and the prince went no, killed him and that’s it like ok.
Also, the ending was crazy like fuck every other character, I guess?!?
Long story short, the characters are really interesting and I hope someone takes them out of this and protect them and does something with them because they could’ve been a lot more than what they were
