These takes are actually insane, and simultaneously very interesting.
They're both people that have been deeply harmed by their surroundings. The MC healed, and Siyun relapses consistently. Two broken individuals on different paths of recovery. The MC is not at fault for assuming the boy who smashed her abuser's head in the wall and has harmed others around her murdered her abuser. She is not and never will be responsible for his actions and she has clearly done all she could to keep him stable, in the same way he is doing all he can to ensure her saftey, despite putting her in danger in the process, and in the same way he came to her mental and physical aid when she needed it the most (when she was actively being bullied, and harming her bully in her dream).
Like others have said, he needs help. She is not to be blamed.
Additionally, the ML underwent severe abuse to become who he is today, he is the product of his traumatic childhood. He is trying to become better. His trauma does not justify his actions, it explains it. The ML being hurt psychologically does not justify attempting to murder Jaehyuk or whatever the char who the MC originally liked was named. The MC originally wanted to murder the people who hurt her too. Luckily, she learned that that was not the path to healing.
What are the comments even arguing? Who's wrong? Who's good? Who's at fault? At fault for what? Their mental place? What is the point in trying to blame them? The MC is wrong for not believing in a boy (who didn't believe in himself) when it came to the murder of someone close to her, who he showed signs of aggression towards a day before, with a tendency for violence and manipulation? Are you kidding me? He DREAMT of murdering him (and by extension, himself). Which means, he absolutely could have.
I didn't expect to see this comments, I'm so baffled.
I knew she would die but I'm sobbing poor Nacchan.
If perhaps anyone here is ever in a similar situation as the MC, please do not sacrifice yourself lmao. Do not leave your family alone to hold onto the small slimmer of hope that other humans will keep their word without being bounded by something tangible, like a contract that results in punishment if not fulfilled.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that wants to bite the leads lmao, the FL looks so squishy. Love the way she was drawn in her swimsuit, you could see it squeeze her skin a bit, and her skin pop out a bit.
I see a lot of comments wondering why both MCs broke up when Gene went to Canada for his studies. So here is my take, and I do think understanding this factor is crucial for a good outlook on the manga's story.
Trevor and Gene met when Gene was in an extremely vulnerable place. Gene staying at Trevor's place had always been temporaryâhence Trevor's wage system which would allow Gene to leave at any time and still have enough pay to support himself (the detail of the plants Trevor would buy for Gene which could survive with little care reflects the constant theme of how temporary everything was). But they grew to fall in love, so why was their relationship still temporary?
Gene was 19. He was 19, fresh off his Amish roots, with little knowledge about the world and even less about himself. Trevor's love stabilized him and allowed him the stepping stones he needed to begin to find himself, but clinging onto his hand forever would hinder Gene from learning who he wants to be and who he wants to become. They actually had quite a healthy relationship, despite the mutually dependent situation they began in, the comfort they found in each other ended up healing many parts of their hearts, and they knew they could walk forward.
Trevor mentions many times that Gene was far younger and hadn't had a taste of the world yet. Trevor is older, more experienced, had a professional job and relationship experience. Gene knowing nothing and Trevor encouraging him to learn is very important, because it shows Trevor's maturity as a partner and Gene's lust for knowledge. He was okay with letting Gene go if it meant he could explore the world. In a way, staying with Trevor would have confined him.
Okay so Gene leaves for Canada, but why couldn't they keep in touch? Gene leaving for Canada was Gene leaving a place he grew comfortable in once again to learn. And just like how he left his Amish community, he needed to set everything behind to keep moving forward. He is the type of person to have wanted to keep moving forward, and he did so even after reaching Canada. He traveled the world.
He gained the life experience he needed to finally stand beside Trevor and not below him, should he want to return to his side. He needed to step away to do that. Otherwise, he still would have been the child Trevor helped guide. Essentially, he needed to fly with his own wings, and Trevor realized that.
This manga, in my opinion, is so beautiful because it includes a variey of relationship types, including a healthy separation. Two people can cross paths, grow, and walk forward. And it does not need to be soul-shattering. It is typically difficult for two people who have loved so passionately to realize that loving each other does not mean constantly needing each other, but love comes in many forms and presents itself in many ways. Like Trevor and Karen, two people once in a romantic relationship can find a healthier, even more beneficial friendship within each other.
Of course, this is all my take! Hope it helps. (ã¥ï¿£ ³￣)ã¥
I'm so concerned at my ability to understand love now. Everyone loved the romance and I appreciate this creative direction, but I really do not feel as emotionally connected to this arc as, say, the martial arts novel. For reference, I've cried at every arc in this manhwa, so I don't lack emotions. I feel like I'm missing something. I need to re-read this, maybe I'll read the light novel.
I'm unable to follow the love between them. I suppose I'm having trouble understanding how Gongja fell in love so quickly, and what exactly he fell for in the female love interest? I understand that they are both regressors, and she's gorgeous. I have no idea why I am not understanding the rest of it, but I really want to see the beauty of this arc. I'm so disappointed in myself, especially since I've seen so many comments discussing how unique and detailed their love is. And, I've read so many villainess manhwa, I'm a fan of the genre! This work has everything I could ask for, so why the hell can't I understand it?? â( Tï¹T )â
Does anyone know which manhwas this artists was accused of copying? If they're similar, I want to go read the original works too lol.
A respectful relationship how rare of a BL with a owner/pet premise. Struck gold reading this one!!
I don't I've ever felt this way when reading an erotic manga!! It's my first time seeing a female lead with a petite frame and small chest, who isn't infantalized. It is difficult for artists to draw women in this way regardless of how their characters are sculpted because of how often small tits have been associated with young children, evidence of this exists in these comments. She feels mature, nonethelessâshe does not act childish, her facial features are mature, she works an office job, her age is clearly stated, etc. The only thing that makes her "look like a child" is her frame.
Can a small chested character ever be portrayed as an adult? Must adult characters continue to be typecast as big-breasted and children, small? Young girls and people may also have large chests. This conception harms all of usâteaching young people that their bodies are adult bodies and teaching adults that their bodies are child-likeâespecially when it exists WITHIN our own communities.
As a small chested, petite woman myself, I truly feel oddly represented in a genre where female characters typically have large breasts.
(The fact that I also love lingerie and have an ero account means I REALLY see myself in the FL but that aside, physical rep is nice!!)
The professor's rut line unnecessarily had me kicking my feet oml. He's so sly and intentional.
