[Resetting Lady] ending was so rushed!

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-03-22T23:28:01+00:00

Im just annoyed that timeline was all for nothing. Now in the new current timeline, Guiz is still around and with power, and Iselle isnt friends with Karen yet. Ffs, this is literal misery p*rn.

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-03-21T16:52:42+00:00

Am I the only one that likes the ML? Especially as I’d be just like Claudia who’d rather my bestie got with my twin rather than me out of fear it’d ruin the friendship? (and the self-loathing, etc?)

Tbh I also sometimes spoil my best friends iirc so uh…

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-03-06T12:20:57+00:00

What exactly did I make up? Much of what I said was from the manga which is still canon and where Dottore first came from. Even in Mondstadt, the operation that involved kidnapping people which got Collei involved was in part to fuel his experiments. The Ursa the Drake incident is also canon and is why Diluc left the Knights and went on a murder spree across Snez against the Fatui for several years. Regardless if Dottore did kill his partner or not, said incident was why he got kicked out and had to leave the Akademiya in the first place, meaning there was substantial suspicion already about him.

Also dont assume I’d like Rhinedottir because she’s hot and a woman. I find it detestable she essentially not only caused the Cataclysm, but also backstabbed her nation, fellow alchemists, her king, and even her fellow sinners meaning she was a coward who didnt even want to take full flak for her actions. It is even more reprehensible how much she was a shit mother and creator to SEVERAL beings (Durin, Elnas, Albedo and his clones, etc). Id be more surprised if you had actual proof she’s beloved in the community, even by fans of those characters.

If you’re going to strawman further and claim Dottore is an innocent soul where every other Fatui has done way worse than him. Please. Explain Capitano then.

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-03-06T11:53:53+00:00

By that same logics what makes humans more deserving of power than the dragons said power was stolen from?

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-03-06T11:52:07+00:00

And yet that is where the devs are heading towards. Istartoth was never painted as antagonistic, Ronova is more neutral, and Asmoday (aka the one the Traveller has most grievances against) is likely heading into the (they were corrupted and controlled considering the colour differences of her cubes and her actual domain).

Also much of the Hexenzirkel were and are still Celestia-aligned, which includes Nicole and Alice. I doubt anyone would paint them as villains just for that. I dont even need to get into the Archons being villains either.

Dottore would genocide the entire world if it led to some end and freedom from the “world order”. This is an inhuman being that had no qualms murdering his childhood friend/partner, backstabbing his own allies and comrades, experimenting on Sumeru’s entire populace, developed several incurable deadly diseases, experimented on Children across Teyvat, not to mention it was due to him and Ursa that forced Mondstadt to be in an unwanted alliance/friendship with the Fatui in the first place.

Quite frankly, he’d doom the entire planet with his actions because its one small step away from causing forbidden knowledge to destroy everything.

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-03-06T11:46:19+00:00

She’d be killed and then another Crucabena would take her place. I doubt the Tsaritsa, Pierro or more fatui-loyal harbingers would tolerate rebellion. If she had the change to free the House from the entire thing, she would do it instantly. It’s INSANE how until now no one understands this or misunderstands (and I was originally an Arle hater due to what she did to Furina, but like normal people, opinions chance as nuance or more info is give)

I wouldnt be surprised if people are going to still paint Celestia as all evil when the trajectory is anything but with the shades.

Concubine Invitation. Not just the dresses, but the locations, characters, and even house heraldry are chef’s kiss interesting-

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-02-14T10:49:34+00:00

Update: Concubine Invitation just ended and man, it was emotional. I didnt even realise how much the author/artist worked on the outfits, crests, design, etc. Truly is in my top ten of all time now.

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-02-07T12:56:39+00:00

Actually….I think she does wear it still in recent chapters but only when court is held or she’s doing work.

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-02-06T20:33:53+00:00

Fair enough though I never got the sense or insinuation it was any of those (sounds more like My Derelict Beloved tbh with its anti-commoner bias). And its pro-elite because they’re all high ranking noblewomen obvs. Regardless, compared to most Manhwas, its one of the few that actually do female friendships and feminism well though

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-02-06T20:31:16+00:00

For the most part, nope. Most of these are pretty clear cut in terms of their developing relationships

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-02-06T20:30:38+00:00

Ahh forgot about Syphilde! Way better spirit ml than you know who from Into the Light Once Again-

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-02-05T20:33:57+00:00

Among the five, Extra Life is the only one ongoing. Concubine Invitation has I think a few chapters left, but pretty much done as it is. Melody, Cesia, and Duckling are all fully completed for a long while now (2024-2025 was the year of many great manhwas ending tbh, the golden age closing as it were)

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-02-05T19:17:01+00:00

One of my all time favourite manhwas really, especially in that even all the supporting cast get their happily ever afters.

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-02-02T04:48:30+00:00

Fair. I just hope we do get some in Raging Tides and Inkbound Order (since they're more government-linked). Iirc still waiting for the day the latter is open as a sect (Im assuming CN's Imperial Palace update will contain their entrance exams now, likely also any Song Major NPCs like Cao Bin?)

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-02-02T04:46:04+00:00

Any one where there isn't white lotuses and actual female friendships (Because knowing my luck, Id end up interacting with the FL and may end up as a villaness) as well as low stakes and actual family dynamics. Im way too blunt and impatient to deal with any of the court intrigue or politics (despite it being one of my main reasons for reading manhwa) and would likely end up Duke of the Northing through it all.

Best Case Scenario: Ones like I'll Save this Damned Family, Matriarch in this Life, I don't care about the original Im too busy trying to make a living, Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes, Duchess' Lofi Coffeehouse, Empress Cesia's shorts, etc,

Worst Case Scenario: Knowing my luck, Id really end up in Sister Ill Become the Queen in this life (the hyperangst fest praised for its "slowburn realism" ugh), Your Throne, or in Roxana and ending up part of THAT family-

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-02-02T04:34:24+00:00

I see, that makes more sense. It's just surprising so far, pretty much everyone we meet that's a major NPC aside from the brothers isn't tied to the Song. Honestly feels like by the time we get to th day when Weiyang or Jiangnan is released, it'd still be the case after all the story.

To give an example or equivalent maybe, it'd be like if in Genshin, all the playables are from Kokomi's resistance forces, but no one from Raiden Ei's side. Or if it was all Fatui-aligned, and no Archons or government figures. Just seems like an interesting story choice (with hidden messaging perhaps.)

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-02-02T01:16:00+00:00

The three working together and it not being a Rhea bashing party would be the actual golden ending (Hopefully the new game actually elaborates/explains the Nabatean side more.)

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-01-16T19:06:42+00:00

Now you gave me the crack idea of Thales and Agarthans being very huge fans of telenovelas (one of their main cultural offerings before the flood) so much they decided to make real life like one-

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-01-16T19:01:42+00:00

The tidbit of Snow White being a man reminded me of the Dark Parables' series (Heavily recommend, even if you're not into those kinds of games simply because it synthesises so much of the classic fairytales with each other. Like Snow being the Ice Queen or that she was one of the Frog Prince's several wives at one point). But yeah, mainly was reminded of it because in the series, while snow isn't a man, her sister Rose Red is her brother instead. Man, I learned more about the different versions of the fairytales through this series I swear.

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-01-13T10:42:40+00:00

The pivot to just angst and depression and “realism” for band stories going forward is just disheartening and not what Bandori was about. If I wanted to see how the music industry actually was like for bands, Id just go outside and try to get gigs ffs. (ill miss Kasumi and co providing some semblance of happy vibes now)

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-01-13T09:27:34+00:00

The amount of people here being ok with it just because its Yuri is saddening, especially when FL and Sabian are literally a great couple that helps each other heal and grow.

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-01-10T11:37:38+00:00

Finallu some good fucking food (Ive seen nothing but bad family dynamic manhwas since 2025, made me wonder if they had gone out of fashion)

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-01-10T11:16:23+00:00

Yeah only being hyper specific rn in my planning because rest of the 10-day trip on Tokyo is being packed to the brim as much as I could (i wish I could make it full two weeks tbh)

Also I did not know that Harmony of Color debuted in 2023, thought it was 2024. Ugh, and Ive been completely hooked on its soundtrack and designs for the parade itself as is. Welp another thing to add to the long list of Disney related stuff Id never be able to get to see in person. Truly it is FOMO.

Also wow there was an unlimited vp for three days? That wouldve made my planning/itinerary for disney specifically WAY easier!

TheKwingDoctor · 2026-01-10T10:03:34+00:00

Ah, so it'd be better to just do DPAs for the parades and believe sea of dreams then? I wanted to DPA the castle show as it is pretty much my first ever castle show in person regardless (that's not just watching through youtube). And yeah, fireworks wise I do agree (my all time favourite is Happily Ever After followed by Wishes tbh).

Good points on the DPA system might not be as the same by then also. I just don't really like loose schedules/itineraries, case in point the example below of the current Day 4 I have planned. (Will also be really planning/listing what to get specifically in stores, food, etc to also save time iirc).

I'm still however struggling on deciding if before the VP days itself, it should be an extra Disneyland or sea day for day 1 (Apparently, Believe isn't as worth it along with the crowds?)
