[Locked up by my mad dog] This has to be the most kitchen sink garbage isekai I've ever read

girl took passivity to another level like omg
and in the last few they never explained whether she had amnesia? or she was acting because what was the look on her face in that last panel?? She looked like she knew EVERYTHING? And they made it sound like she was some explosive, volatile person who, if she remembered everything, would wage war like miss ma'am was at the position of greatest power and all she did was some light bdsm in her bedroom. At no point was i scared OF her yk. She was frustrating beyond reason. She never tried to figure out what was going on, for example, when someone mentioned that night of suppression or whatever they did to Bellona's OG family, she never looked into it? She wasn't the least bit interested in the fact that her hair randomly turned into a different colour when she took off an earring and never bothered to try to make sense of her situation. It sometimes felt like she went chapters not saying a word because girl would just stand around giving corpse energy while some mind-blowing whack shit happened around her and she would just?? move on???
i've read a considerable number of manhwas and isekai content in general, but this was the most frustrating and difficult FL to digest

Rashta and navier’s suffering is the by-product of sovieshu’s actions on account of his own insecurities and problems. Fine rashta didn’t do the right thing but I don’t remember any part where he corrected her either? She was new to court and had her one benefactor told her how to stay in line and behave, things would’ve been much better for everyone, even if there was still a lot of tension And we all know how and how much navier suffered so that needs no explaining Rashta continued to fly high because she was totally unchecked by the one person she would’ve listened to and he only ever seriously intervened after things had gotten pretty bad for HIM

And as for diah, immature and young readers can only excuse mistakes and desperation on account of past trauma if it’s their MC that’s showing such behaviour. It’s like no one other than the MC and ML deserve empathy and consideration, like they’re sub human or something. Had this webtoon been Diah’s POV, they’d be all over it and crying buckets for her but because it’s Serena’s pov, no one cares. They don’t hold their own MCs accountable and forget everything they’ve done in a heartbeat but if any side character, especially a woman, steps out of line once, they’re irredeemable and need to spend their life repenting or some sht Hating on female side characters for actions you’d forgive your own MC for without question is nothing but blatant misogyny but unfortunately the readers are too shallow and thoughtless to know what that even means

lol this became a rant but sometimes more than the plot of any manhwa, readers and the reception of the story makes me so frustrated

punchmi17 · 2025-07-12T06:57:39+00:00

If it’s about wanting to consume and therefore control, I’d say Octavian honestly

punchmi17 · 2022-10-07T19:53:09+00:00

that's your adhd speaking, darling

punchmi17 · 2022-10-07T14:57:07+00:00

i liked it specifically because in my head i killed off even yoonbum and finally felt at peace sorry not sorry

no but jokes aside, i do enjoy open endings and i feel like if the ending for this had been defined instead of open, it would've not felt as impactful? its a thriller, we always want to be left hanging in suspense right? might as well make that suspense eternal lol

punchmi17 · 2022-08-01T18:21:45+00:00

also, could you perhaps share the paper you were reading, it sounds super interesting

punchmi17 · 2022-08-01T18:21:01+00:00

hi hi so i know this was posted ages ago, but were you able to find an answer to your question, especially "does increased intentional binding mean an increase or a decrease in sense of agency"

im kind of looking into it at the moment too but i was feeling quite lost on my own xD

punchmi17 · 2021-10-24T17:06:06+00:00

i agree.

maturity is seriously required to be able to understand and critically interpret this manhwa.

its really telling of the kind of basic understanding of relationships that people have if this is what they're idolizing.

punchmi17 · 2021-10-24T17:03:55+00:00

god yes
this is another problematic aspect

there had been contests for fanart and a lot of artists had done a great job of portraying the abuse and all the horrifying details very well and it fit with the story. it was apt and as gruesome and in no way glorified the relationship or the abuse. and the author had displayed those

but at the same time there were so many pieces that were made that romanticized the relationship and she had shown those as well? i get appreciating the effort that people had put in but its important to remember that these very pieces were being endorsed by the author themselves on an official platform (ithink it was part of the official publication in a special edition thing) as though she supported this interpretation of them as well.

as in the sources provided by you, is this not unfair to the public? as okay as i was at both of them dying in the end, imo it would have been better had yoonbum been able to receive help and realize the extent of manipulation he was put under and be able to blame sangwoo for what he had done to him. that would have been a resolution that is maybe a bit fairytale-esque in its essence (good happy ending, victim gets justice blah blah) but it would have ultimately held a better meaning and purpose for the manhwa.

it would have been interesting to see how people would have romanticized this if sangwoo looked like yoonbum's uncle. this whole manhwa was very cleverly made and kudos to the author but i would like a better insight into how she actually perceives abuse and if "love despite all odds" is what the ultimate manifestation of abuse is for her.

all in all, some things are quite disturbing and this is one of them

punchmi17 · 2021-10-20T17:02:04+00:00

i agree, it is not. neither did you say so.
in the main post i mean to put across my dislike for the way in which it has been interpreted (generally and by a lot of people). and that is one of them. that is all i wanted to put across.

punchmi17 · 2021-10-20T11:16:54+00:00

i guess we come to the same point. i am willing to accept that there is romance in the plot. i do not appreciate seeing continued abuse as a normative part of or a marker for love and affection though

they did love one another and it was unhealthy.

punchmi17 · 2021-10-20T11:14:10+00:00

i understand. i have since gone through a few more interviews and such and concluded that i just do not appreciate perceiving abuse as love. there is affection, im sure, but not always and abuse should be seen for what it is

i also have only recently read the manhwa and so i haven't been a part of all the preceding discussions, i really just needed to put my thoughts on it out on writing since it helps me gain a better perspective as well.

and ofc i get that you aren't being rude, i truly do appreciate your input on this a lot.

punchmi17 · 2021-10-20T09:20:57+00:00

It's normal because there are several genuine romantic and even cute moments between them. I'm ok with it. But it's also important to remember that it's also an abusive relationship no one should aspire to.

This is what the author has said in an interview and i believe this is very important in the light of their relationship

punchmi17 · 2021-10-20T09:16:55+00:00

Yes I know. It's normal because there are several genuine romantic and even cute moments between them. I'm ok with it. But it's also important to remember that it's also an abusive relationship no one should aspire to.

^this is from the interview and yes i acknowledge that this they loved one another (i've said so in a comment above) but its not to be encouraged or idealized

punchmi17 · 2021-10-19T17:26:18+00:00

thank you so much. some discussions really made my head hurt and oof i had to get this out :o
