Damn im enjoying this so much, what a breath of fresh air… the spoilers are making me giddy for what happens in the end.
I like a monstrous “ML” that actually sticks to their title of being horrible and a FL that actually cares for their life, like what part of murderer and cold-blooded do people not understand. She ran away and tried to find home, shes selfish, shes going crazy and thats very human. People dont change that easily from their old ways but some are forced to change quickly due to trauma, it represents both of them well.
I think im in love with this story and its characters, i love the FL and ML. I love how it shows cruelty of war on both sides, i also love how Anette grew and stood up for herself.
I love the foreshadowing of how Heiner sees Anette because the first thing he sees wasnt her but that painting of the saint on the ceiling that was oddly similar to how Anette looks like, thus it mightve added to his delusion of her being “divine”. Theres also definitely a mental issue with Heiner, with what hes been through, all that severe trauma definitely messed him up. It doesnt excuse his behavior and wrongdoings but my god, i cant pressure it all on him.
Also no, Anette isnt innocent, she said it herself. She had a choice to learn and make a choice about society and its struggles but chose not to/or couldnt, yet she chose to right her wrongs in ways she knows how. Ive never been so proud and im glad Heiner is slowly learning as well, like you cant just change yourself overnight, they have progress
Shes slowly learning how to love others and herself while He is slowly learning how to move on and acknowledge his regrets, wants, needs, behavior and etc.
I hate jaekyung, we all do i get it but im just so curious why hes like this? Like how did he turn out like this? Hes not the typical emotionless top but a really really emotional and moody one with tons of anger issues, and hes very fucking insecure about what people think of him and his career. Hope we do get more info, it wont change his wrongdoings but it makes us understand his behavior more. (Not tolerate it of course)
As happy as i am about the reunion, im still feeling horrible about gren. The poor kid got caught up in drugs and lived a horrible life and genuinely wanted to get better (he was getting better too), god i hope that bastard ross gets a painful death or outcome.
RIP to Gren
I made an old comment about how stupid madelyn is for letting go of the chance to not be in prison but honestly, i dont hate this outcome and i dont hate that she makes mistakes.
Its frustrating but at the same time a relief that we have an mc thats imperfect and not always getting what she wants. Its a good representation of nobles and how they react in regular situations, you cant expect a person that used to be a rich character to all of a sudden be what we expect her to be, actually its amazing that she even started working to just support herself and cut off her father.
She didnt want to go back to ian because she’s ashamed of herself for disappointing him, i dont think she can bear to be by his side (a noble, a duke) after being a prisoner (one that threatens the position of royalty too). She chose to stick by her moral code and accepting her punishment (its stupid but that takes a lot of fucking balls to do) and she decides to venture forth and create a new beginning.
Im gonna ask you, just how many MCs have you seen that said “im gonna leave this place and create a new beginning” and actually stick to it? Not a lot right. Madelyn made this choice and actually went through with it, and i also dont hate what Isabel has done. Youd think of Isabel as this rebellious idiot that just made trouble, but mind you she is a sister of a duke, she didnt have to look at the people suffering under the rule of monarchy and focus on herself, she didnt have to help turn their manor into a hospital but she did, she looks at these people and believe all should be equal. This is not some game she decided to play because shes bored, this is how revolution happens. Her brother just came back from a war that was pushed by their rulers, ones that they do not have to participate in. I dont know how much more info we got about the royal family but with the state of soldiers dying and not even getting proper medical treatment outside the manor is insane.
People like Isabel are the reason why some countries nowadays have democracy instead of monarchy and dynasties (theyre still a problem). You can have the right to vote because of people like her, i commend the strength for her to go off too and cut herself off her family tree. The setting in this story isnt the usual medieval ones we read from other mangas, theres no magic, this is probably the industrial revolution as well and trust me, being a woman and not a royalty at that time is hell. Bombs and guns are being invented and used in war, and a lot of innocent people from villages and such are dying from the choices of a tyrant/king. I know we look at this differently because people want romance only but this is much more than that, it kind of asks the question “Would you fight for the people and your country or stick with your lover and bask in sunshines and rainbows in your mansion”.
Its a pretty good breath of fresh air, this manga i mean.
You can see how hes matured (physically and mentally) over time omfg so proud, im so glad for these new chapters. I still see that happy bouncy smile of his but available for only those who deserve it (progress my boy!) and finally, there was mention of how his friends are doing! Its like the author saw my previous complaint and answered all my questions lmao.
Was also wondering if kayden had to show up himself to shut them up but im glad somebody recognized who theyre dealing with.
I feel so bad for both of them, theyve been through so much. Aisha is doing everything she can to protect her sister and herself while Aida is just brainwashed and traumatized from all the assault that she experienced ever since childhood. These poor girls.
Just have to ask, how old was our jiwoo when he met jiyoung? I dont mind bland romances because god when you read stories like these? Its bound to happen but why it feels so off to me is because jiyoung felt like a much older character to me? Like shes 23-30+ years old vibe and jiwoo was a highschooler- still is? so that gives us the fact that hes very young. Thats why its so weird to me.
I am also kinda sad cause i remember jiyoung being taller than jiwoo? I know hes a growing kid but i kinda feel like they made him taller just for the romance trope?
Ill be honest with you, this story had me on a chokehold from the start because the main plot was amazing and fun like fighting, powers, pets, friends, family and learning kindness with that darkness happening in the back thats bound to happen…now i barely see the cats, i barely see friends, i barely see him just enjoying his life as a teenager or something. Like i get that he has to experience all this but they took away what i fell in love with in the first place. Just personal opinion, still like the story overall.
Literally broke my heart when denji cried just because he found out someone likes him… my poor kid
Bro moaned and flinched just by being touched on the wrist, you have a bf, you disgusting ass fuck.
Call me back when this gets updated for like 15 chapters…girl you cant help and do shit for people behind bars, use your brain. Youre against a higher power by yourself in that court, you had a pass at freedom and wasted the potential to be doing something more for isabelle even if you lie to the court. God fucking damn it
Kept staring at the door begging for mincheol to see them doing it…but tbh with you, i want him to see her at her happiest and highest WITHOUT him, i want her to shine so brightly that everything around her seems like theyre in slow motion and i want him to be fucking stabbed with regret and agony because of what he lost.
Its your typical story but she really acts like a kid…
And shes cute as fuck in leopard or human form, it keeps me going.
