Y'know the meme where the girl was sipping her Coke while looking at PC smiling and saying "INTERESTING"?
Yeah, that's my reaction while reading the chapter.
For reference: https://pin.it/1af0tFEZi
The girl?? That’s Miranda cosgrove put some respect on her name lol
Huh? Sorry, I don't watch those series or whatever she's in that's why I don't know her name.
This hyung- I swear! You get all possessive when an alpha gets near Woojoo after you've said that you don't love him and his feelings are just a passing phase??!
I really want Hojae for woojoo, but if not then, Hojae and woori
The cover??? Is that MC having Short hair???! OMG
Did u not see the trailer?!!!! Its torture
Nooo.... What happened???
(Prologue/trailer same thing)
Okay so basically, dont wanna say the whole thing cuz i might phrase it wrong so im gonna say the obvious
Yeonjo GOES INSANE locked up. He literally ONLY drowns himself in alcohol, falls into depression and an even more hostile behavior (dont know how he cuts his hair but it will soon be super short)and goes all skin and bones. My heart ached seeing him in that that def go check it out, theres a new character appeared only in the prologue
Nahh... Omg I'm gonna drop this then. I swear every uke or MCs in Korean manhwas are miserable on the seme's hands and I hate to see those....
a shame
I think theyre hoarding or having scarcity?? Because there's an apocalypse going on, they're probably forgetting what was happening outside the village. That's why she said he's not on his right mind idk but puhlease I'm more invested now in the storyyyyy
I don't want to offend anyone so I would like to drop my say in this matter of Penelope and Eclis. We all know that Eclis was bought by Penelope in the Slave market and his clan/relatives are gone except him. So we can say that he has nowhere to go except in Penelope's place. Penelope tamed Eclis to become her sword knight and saved him whenever he's being bullied. However, what questions me is about the part where Penelope was saying that 'Eclis was the only one for her (?)' even if it's empty wouldn't that lead to Eclis having hope bc he has no one except Pen? And respectfully, I don't think what Penelope said here was good, it's more like she's leading him on. And if Penelope knew the game, why did she forgot Eclis (since in the og plot Eclis was also the one who brought back Yvonne) instead of letting him stay by his side as a guard, she completely forgot or neglected him.
Also, Eclis has a short time in every chapter so we couldn't see how exactly is he during his training. But it's his fault for being so full of himself that his master would love him. He was provided shelter, food and clothes, what more does he like? He's one helluva problematic slave I'd say. Also, he went and searched for Yvonne and when he came back being under Yvonne's spell, seeing how he's not even grateful to what Penelope did for him makes me think he really deserved what Penelope said in the latest chap. He was pretty obsessed to Penelope and that says a lot.
And my stand here in the latest chapter, Penelope should've handled Eclis better than getting angry and saying he should kill himself. She should've thought what will happen once she discarded eclis to yvonne ugh. And honestly, she never even reflected as to why eclis would even go that far. Eclis also don't know his place, he's a slave or a knight, he didn't have the right to move on his own when Penelope owns him. He also doesn't love Penelope, more like, he doesn't want to lose Penelope bc of his obsession (not love). They didn't properly communicate and it shows that both of them are at fault. Anyways, if y'all defend Penelope only, then that means you're the type of reader who don't see both sides and judges quickly.
I can see what you're saying. Not to defend Penelope but the reason why she kept saying Eclis was the only one was because he was the only one that she actually saw hope for a possible completion. With how the brothers were she found them hard to trust (especially Derrick). And with CP being as capricous as he is, he's too much of a wildcard for her to bet on their relationship actually having a stable fruition. Eclis was the only constant and (what she thought) would be easy to handle. She's only human after all, with all the high stress situations that happened to her she wouldn't be able to remember the details of the game. Yes, I do feel sorry for Eclis since he was basically forced into this dependent state due to his circumstances but I feel he got too selfish for his own good and in the end had every intention to betray Penelope when he thought of bringing Yvonne back to the estate.
Penelope could've been smarter with how she handled Eclis here but it's clear that he's a lost cause and has gone full yandere. Her keeping him around would be more dangerous for her since it's already proven that he is beyond her control/predictability (coupled by the emotional grievances she's feeling from his betrayal and losing her #1 lifeline).
Still their overall dynamics is an interesting read. And I don't think you're offending anyone with your opinion, everyone is entitled to theirs ( ˊ ᵕ ˋ )
I see ur point. Honestly, this is why I enjoy the story it just reflects humanity and how flawed we are. You are absolutely right nothing is ever right and wrong the thing is it's easy to judge when you are a bystander and not the one going through it. This is exactly what happens here with both characters who don't see the repercussions of their actions but instead live by instinct where Penelope is emotionally broken after trying to get out of the game at any cost only to be faced with the shock that everything was for nothing at least that's what she conveys through her resent actions and way of thinking and then there is Eclis who became obsessed because she became the only thing he had. Both are very natural behaviors that everyone can go through and while it's easy to say I would never do that the reality is that when you are faced with the situation you may act in a way you don't recognize. Again this is why I enjoy the story because it does not feel empty or as if there was no build-up and all of sudden characters are acting differently. I do think it‘s rather sad for the amount of suffering and unfairness both go through but again it reflects how in life we are not always surrounded by happiness and how one decision can change everything.
On a side note, I thought it was the bunny guy who was supposed to bring Yvonne not Eclis which is why Penelope felt so betrayed when Eclis brought her. That was when Penelope started losing hope and started to mentally go down.
Truly. This series is just so good at depicting very human characters, especially with Penelope. She knew from the beginning that the odds were stacked against her but was still somewhat optimistic. But throughout the story the emotional development of not just MC but the other leads as well was magnificently done.
Yes, Bunny boy was supposed to be the one to bring Yvonne back. The one who was supposed to bring her was adamant about not doing it knowing how it'll affect Penelope's position, while the one who was supposed to guard and protect her did it fully knowing what may go down just to isolate her from her ''family''. Ironic but an interesting development to say the least.
The last panels, pls don't jumpscare me by showing me the orange man eughhh
I had the same exact thought lmao
I really thought it was haesoo resting at Taeha's legs and when I scrolled, I got scared when the carrot was shown and it was ari
Omg
Again fking same
This is truly a good read!! I swear Japanese yaoi has more stories and you can explore emotions, culture, etc. unlike kr manhwa, almost every yaoi consist of rapes and abuse...
One thing that bothers me, If that big evil eye was the past Yuuma then, who're those cute 5 eye-ghosts that cheers/supports the present yuuma??
Fr I can't even think about how most of k authors are normalizing rape, abuse with so called romance. Such waste of art and time with mid plot. At this point they should just draw hentai, not fusing with romance shit
yess and it's sooo painful to read and trueee they shouldn't be adding romance in these rape and abuse shits
I assuming the 5 eye-ghost are past versions of present Yuuma bc we see a small panel on a previous chapters of the different yuumas with the same eyes as the ghosts.
yeah, probably other reincarnations that have gotten their life stolen by touma and thus in love with 'kaito' now
Oh! I see so basically those are the past reincarnations or Yuuma where they were killed by the obsessed one!
*of
there are so many rape bullshit plots in bl manga, who do you think normalized rape in bl? the og ofc
and saying almost every kr yaoi is rape is an exaggeration.
i love manga, i even physically collect my favorites, but there are also so many fucked up ones
the most depraved porn plots i come across always happen to be manga.
Yeah mostly i read r only manga. Just there r many unique plots in manga ngl but yeah there r some also who have scene.
It’s just as worse in manga where every assualter and rapist are easily forgiven not sure if japanese authors have no concept of redemption ( no wonder cuz they dont even study their own history and dismiss inhumane behavior)
dont fucking compare real life to fiction, whats wrong with you
But im not wrong tho
you are, there is no correlation.
fiction is fiction, its disgusting to even insinuate that there is a connection.
its not the same generation.
japan may of had the biggest rebrand of all time into kawaii land, but its the rest of the world that ignores and dismisses japans history.
Oh i was actually talking about how manga authors dismisses rape and assault and how it’s been normalized throughout the history of yaoi and they don’t even put effort into going against that direction, but I’m not saying it’s different from korean manhwas where rape is also prevalent, the way i see it japanese authors are bad at portraying rape and assault as something that is absolutely irredeemable, for instance most semes/ml in yaoi force their way into our mcs with dramas that lead to rape, SA which is something uncalled for and somehow will always end up being the endgame. Even other characters who does this attempt to mcs even develop friendship and forgiven as if their actions werent bad. This isn’t even the case with Korean comics where if it’s rape, it’s rape. And most likely those characters in their comics often end up being the assholes throughout the story and the portrayal of rape and sexual assault in manhwas is justified.
both in manga and manhwa the rapist is usually endgame, so there is no difference in that regard.
the thing is with manga there is a wider selection, you can find some of the best portrayals of rape and its phycological effects of trauma in manga
"the portrayal of rape and sexual assault in manhwas is justified" bro wtf???
Why are you even comparing history or reality to a fiction?
Yes, I know, I'm not disregarding the rapes in manga. I'm just saying that manga has somewhat more stories that are good to read and even psychological mangas with rapes and abuse has a plot where you are disgusted by it, take harada's stories as an example.
Manhua also, even in their straight one too. Female MC (depending on the story) usually ends up being drugged and sometimes the ML is also drugged.
Harada's stories are twisted but you can't look away.
