pluckaduck's manga / #Bully(4)

the title really fits the theme. initially, we thought the disabled guy was the one who needed saving from the relentless bullying. but then we realized it was actually the transfer student(his twin bro) cuz he's actually mentally ill (but he's so cute tho!!). 1st arc: highlights the bullies and their bullying; 2nd arc: twin bro "saving" his bro by attacking the bullies; 3rd arc: their past and epilogue

gawl go to hell. tho, first time I'm curious about the bully antagonist. ch 16, that took a turn i didn't expect. completely blindsided me. and damn, the author has a way of making me feel some emotions for that bully, mrerly because he had some interesting backstory. ch 18. nah, nvm. he should go to hell. but still, pretty conflicted. wanna support both pretty boi and the mc, but nevertheless, gawl(?) is kinda beyond redemption. it really is all about perspective... like that bullied freckles- he actually a flaming misogynistic pig when he's playing video games. ch 25. depressing and heartwrenching. i wanted mc to be happy with yoohee, but author gotta pull another twist like that to blacken the mc even further. seriously, if all villain origins were told like this, i would be cheering for the, to no end. ch 27. the plot fricking thickens! ch 31. the plot thickens once again! damn that Mephisto is a cunning devil. he tricked all the key players, and basically orchestrated mc's descent into corruption and hatred, thus winning his bet against god. there was def some foreshadowing before tho, I just didn't notice. and knowing Faust's ill-fated love for yoohee, makes it sadder. anhow, loved that the author made the bullies(except for galhwa) humane and gave some backstory, instead of making them monsters without remorse. they're all a bunch of punching bags for galhwa ch 45. galwha is a genuinely terrifying villain, bc he's so unhinged and violent and so strong. the plot is soo god, like it's unpredictable- the direction the plot takes is exciting as the mc is undergoing lots of chara development. ch 50. oh my god. i was like "hehehe, that POS is finally gonna die" but then beez-whatever comes along...! on the other hand, jinoh is protagonist level chara for sure; but what a horrible irony that he was "friends" with silhyun(?). ch 66. i was like "this is great! friends reunited!" but now they're enemies... anyway this is one of the more consistently interesting webtoon to this day. ch 68. galhwa seemed humanized when its revealed that he still cares for this one person.. his father's secretary. and he's a genuinely caring and loyal guy too... i don't know what i was hoping for... mc ruthlessly killed him, and then galhwa likewise tracked down the artist mc is indebted to... they're both irredeemable demons now. ch 71. jinoh...you sweet thing...such maturity...! both sihyun and jinoh's hatred is justified, and when i think about it, galhwa is too. its weird bc he has been so horrible and evil for no damn reason, but this hatred transcends time... ig he just subconsciously knew he hated mc. Ch 80. What an ending! Despite everything mc went thru , I really like this ending, bc it meant they passed their tribulation, and galhwa had some closure before he died. Ig mc and galhwa’s entanglement has nothing to do with their previous lives…galhwa just had a lot of rage within him, and all this misfortunes wouldn’t have happened if his dad didn’t interfered. And the tragedy of their previous lives would have never come to light, bc they wouldnt have gotten involved with each other. Their past life shown how weak the human heart is, and their second life really showed how strong forgiveness is.

ngl i really love dabin's character development. went from an annoying bitch to endearing tsundere with a crush ch 44. honestly cried a bit. even tho ancheol is the mc, i having a hard time rooting for him. he was an irredeemable bastard. if it was from jinu's pov, i wouldve never forgiven him or given him a chance to lift the curse. ch 52. absolutely amazing.
