sure rip sophia but damn that flynn is one selfish mf, yes, adrian is his employer and there's a power dynamics at play here but damn a lot of bs can be avoided had bro accepted that sophia really isn't "alive" anymore. genuinely a lot of people's lives are at stake in this island is bc of his cooperation with adrian. can't really say it's morally gray when genuinely it's just morally not right. plain black in my eyes. and tbf to rowe, he's literally drugged, abused, kidnapped and basically had everything in the manipulation and coercion book 101 done to him, if in the end due to these factors he " forgave" adrian, i wouldn't even blame him, he's literally not in his right mind rn, basically going to the "fawn" of the fight/flight response
IT WAS SO SRS AND SAD FROM THE CHAPTER BUT THEN I SCROLLED DOWN TO SEE FCKASS LIN MANUEL MIRANDA AND I SHED SOME TEARS
HOOKED bc it's such a nice premise and the author so far hv been writing his characters splendidly without doing the usual "big boobed girls chase around and fawn over the op mc" shounen trash thing
using another kid to make an environment so that boy can learn empathy makes sense ig, but damn so tiring, the same damn trope everytime, oh a man doesn't understand empathy? get a woman in there so he can finally learn to not be an asshole, like yes in this story it's just lil kids ig, but it is repetitive asf to read smth that you'll see everywhere in the real world, (which is an issue btw cus why is the burden of teaching men stuff they should've already cultivate put on the women around him)
why can't this just be solved with teaching him empathy to the class below him by making him learn more about them, not through a "romantic" lense (yes, ikik they're just kids) but it is implied he will change bc he wants to "make a good impression" cus "he's a flirt" and personally i think that's so? in a sense just reducing what he has shown to be extreme apathy and even cruelty to the class below him as smth light. it really isn't, before this the way he behaves makes it obv he doesn't even see them as humans
Agreed. And why take the risk of introducing an innocent and naive girl to someone, who lacks empathy and is capable of cruelty and violence? I can also see him grow up to be one of those scumbags in broken engagement stories. He seems like the type who would feel threatened by strong women and use “weak women” to boost his ego.
omg thank you for saying this! I felt kinda iffy abt the whole thing while reading it but couldn't put it into words! Agree 100%!!! Feel like fl should've known better than to do something like this considering her bg as an educator. Sure, it worked out but imagine if it didn't, yk? What if he, instead of falling for that girl, started bullying her instead? And why do we have to learn basic empathy only through a romance lens? Like geez, I thought every poor person was disgusting but hey, there's this cute girl I like and she's not disgusting so ig poor people aren't disgusting! Idk idk why we gotta drag an innocent girl in all this
RIGHTTT??? :( she's genuinely just a curious and nice kid but because of this context and the way she's portrayed (dumber than him, curious abt him and infinitely will be forgiving to him) from their dialogues, it makes me feel so..... icky.
OML YES. HER BEING A CERTIFIED EDUCATOR IN THE REAL WORLD BEFORE THIS LIFE IS ALSO SO SCARY, considering how she's treating the current situation. she's putting this young girl with little to no seperation TO A NOBLE BOY WHO TAKE JOY IN PUNISHING COMMONERS :((((
WHAT IF THAT WAS MY LAST STRAW. WHAT IF I ENDED IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE BROOOOOO THIS SHIT IS SO DEVASTATING IF THAT WERE ME I'D GO INTO A DEPRESSION
pls i HATE all of the other characters except for the hart family (the nuclear one).
the fact that ALL THIS SUFFERING. was bc of the ego play of stupid men i making me hate reading it. like what's the point of all this?? the purple asshole still wouldn't be able to get the throne, the demon king is just fkn around, the emperor is making it out like deon is the bad guy WHEN HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING. WHAT HE'S MANIPULATING. FUCK EVERYONE MAN. LET MY GUY BREATHE. the only good ending is if there's a god in this world is if it offers retribution to deon by giving him OP shit to kill off all these mother fuckers for playing with his life to this extend simply because he looks weak as a KID. FUCK ALL OF THIS
"oh what a handsome silly depiction of an old japanese ruler, imma read some more" to "GOD WHY IS IT ANGSTY AND THE UPDATES ARE YEARS LONG"
This is probably a magazine manga meaning they only make one chapter to get put into a magazine and those gets printed once in a while. This is why it’s taking so long for the updates
