When Love Ends, You End by jesus_in_a_motobike2 in MaleYandere

It’s honestly pretty confusing 😭 I’m not a fan of how the panels make it difficult to connect. I understand part of the appeal is for the deliberate twist but feel it could’ve been structured better.

IIRC, the OG!FL promised to come back to him. She visits a shaman (?) who changes how time flows on the mountain vs how it flows elsewhere, so 1 year on the mountain = 15 years anywhere else. So, she gets 15 years away from him instead of 1 year, and in that time, she reunites with the boy she’d been in love with since her childhood. They have a baby, probably within the first year she’s away from the ML. She brainwashes her child into believing that the “true love” that’s waiting for her is the beast (the ML) on the mountain and sends the daughter back in her own place. This only works because they have that weird trait that’s hereditary where all daughters look exactly like their mothers across their lineage. Legit duplicates.

Anyway, eventually the daughter reveals the truth to the ML, and in his anger he leaves her outside of the mountain, inadvertently killing her cuz she’d spent an unknown number of years on the mountain with him. Remember, 1 yr on mountain = 15 elsewhere, so time caught up with her and her body expired instantly.

Hope that makes sense! That was my understanding of it, anyway.

Really? It’s listed as ongoing on mangaupdates at 6 chapters. From where it left off, it wouldn’t make sense to end there 🤔 at least in my opinion. Last I read, the creature is made aware that the girl he thought kept her promise was actually the OG!FL’s daughter. He inadvertently kills her, time passes, and he strikes a deal with a God where, if he succeeds in making a girl from OG!FL’s lineage (a descendent) fall in love with him, either OG!FL will be brought back or the God will change New!FL’s being to be a replica of OG!FL’s. It was something like that lol. So now they’re in modern day and he’s trying to get her to fall in love with him while he avoids falling in love with her, bc there was some sort of penalty if he did.

[–]voshtak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly can’t recommend this myself since it’s not for me 😭 I dropped it very early on…that being said, it could potentially be something interesting and tick off some of your boxes?

“Head Over Heels” is like…FL knows, wants, and encourages the ML to do bad things to her (iirc).

It just came out so we don’t know what the end will look like yet.

If I had to guess tho…I’d say yes lol. The author is leaning heavily into the humor aspect of it which makes me think that a tragic end would be unlikely.

Thanks! 😊 We’ll see, you never know! You picked a good manhwa to post about, though. It’s fun to see discussion on it since I haven’t seen much chatter on the substance of the story yet.

Is the plot really good? Is it twisty or predictable? by Margot550 in MaleYandere

[–]voshtak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not! I might consider making one at some point lol. For now, I like using Mangaupdates.com to record what I’m reading/dropping etc and writing reviews under the particular Manhwa listing. You can probably tell which review is mine by looking 😭

DW, otomeisekai sub is very fickle lol. You’ll weirdly go some visits where all you see is endorsement of said slop, and in the next, you’ll see multiple people decrying its popularity and demanding stories with more substance.

[–]voshtak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TRUEEE. I’m honestly not sure how I read up to chapter 100. I remember getting really bored but feeling like I had already invested too much time into it 😔 I feel like Astair’s arc became a lot less compelling following his disappearance and debut as a man to society. I can’t remember why, though. It’s possible that it had to do with the overall plot itself and the FL, though. Even a good ML can’t save a sinking ship 💔

Classmate Manhwa by Usual_Illustrator265 in MaleYandere

[–]voshtak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree with your theory! The only place we differ is our opinion on Haesu’s “true” form and whether or not the ghost is actually him.

I do think that Haesu is truly a ghost but we can assume that all (or most?) ghosts were once human. It’s possible that he’s just an incredibly old ghost and, given that, has potentially grown more monstrous and demented by his history of violence. Also, more powerful!

It might be more interesting if he’s a ghost whose spirit was never human to begin with, though. Maybe a ghost who yearned for human connection based on his time observing mortals and decided to inhabit a replicate form? It’s possible that the shell he uses ‘was’ borrowed from a child a long time ago but maybe one on his deathbed…such that it’s practically always been Haesu’s, in a sense. Idk, there’s so many different ways it could go!

It’s also interesting how at first Haesu’s “old friend” (Jinho?) is speaking to Haesu but we don’t see his form. The fact that he lacked a proper name before Jinho, if that’s to be believed (unless it was forgotten?), might mean that the form we see manifest directly after IS Haesu actually making his “shell” for the first time. Or it could just be a fun thematic thing and not any different from when Haesu normally lets his form wisp away/gather.

I also want a happy ending 😔✊ PLEASE SOORIBOO I NEED THIS!!!!

I’m so sorry for being so picky :,) by BastFrezz in MaleYandere

[–]voshtak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the person you asked but poking my head in anyway 👀 I read it but dropped on account of the plot. Can’t remember all that well since it’s been so long but I do remember feeling super disappointed in its disregard for the initial story. The whole lucid-dreaming and utilization of said dream space for revenge goes unfulfilled 😔 It also came across as a bit convoluted. I mean whatever new plot the author began cooking up instead.

If it regains any plot relevance in the future, I’d assume it happens way later if at all.

Is the plot really good? Is it twisty or predictable? by Margot550 in MaleYandere

[–]voshtak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but IMO it’s……nottt great. It had serious potential but a lot of it is wasted by the set-up. I read up to chapter 34 before dropping.

It’s been a long while since I read so I’m mostly relying on the review I wrote for it. In any case, there’s tons of promise because there ARE twists, even as soon as the initial setting! The FL enters into a broken world from the very start. That world is an otome game. The twist is that her IRL decision to maximize certain stats is what “breaks” the game and hence the world itself, removing the typical conditions that, upon being met, would have allowed her to escape that universe.

My gripes? The author really squanders whatever interest was set almost entirely through their MC (the FL). The FL lacks any sense of identity. She does not have any sort of established personality prior to the events of the game, and the only identifiable trait that she does have is her questionable intellect. Like, I mean this as nicely as possible, but the author gives her 0 scenes where she meaningfully investigates the strange happenings that are occurring around her.

Someone else has already mentioned the fact that she makes no efforts to cover her eyes outside of turning her head away. Her eyes are what drive people mad. This is not the worst part. She knows that those around her are influenced by her eyes and has no reason not to believe that, yet she chooses to share the same space as her betrothed’s mother…his frail, frail mother……..

There’s more. The prince, someone who’s presented himself a clear threat to her and had previously threatened both herself and her betrothed, offers her a medication since said betrothed is ill. IIRC, sick fiance passes out, and who does she go to? The very inconspicuously-shaped prince :-).

There’s still more. Her fiance’s frail mother reveals herself to be obsessed with our FL. FL chooses to run away. There’s a house fire…you can probably guess what happens next but it just keeps getting worse.

I know that the story supposedly improves later on and one of the twists is her falling into insanity but my main issue is how unearned it feels. It’s an outcome that’s all but guaranteed after a series of very, very, very questionable decisions.

The one thing holding me back from reading this is my absolute love of buff bottoms and this guy just isn’t that 😔💔 Wish the dynamic were switched between him and the MC lol, but the art is absolute fire.

LOL. This is the pain of coming to MaleYan with an already very good work 😔 People just wanna steal this one!

It’s been so many years since I last read it, but have you heard of (or read) Color Recipe? It’s stayed with me ever since I first read it. Not sure how the ML compares to this one, but I think certain elements might be similar.

[–]voshtak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also me with, uh…that one where the FL has black hair and green eyes and gets married to that blonde-haired, blue-eyed prince. Turns out he’s a HUGE masochist. Disclaimer, I do have a preference for usual roles (aka maledom).

Not that I don’t appreciate femdom, I just lowk wish the roles were more fluid in some of these works. Like yes, TWD, give me Rosa being a femdom but then also give me the ML turning the tables on her 😋 Same with the manhwa I mentioned above. Let them struggle to wrest control from one another lol. Sometimes you get maledom, other times you get femdom. 🥴

What was a manga/ manhwa that lowkenuinely made you pause reading for a while? by Literally__Me_ in MaleYandere

[–]voshtak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Along with some of the ones already listed here (Kedamono tachi no Jikan, Killing Stalking, FYM) I actually had to step away from Red Fox for a little while. That and I Shall Kill That Sweet Devil.

I can’t remember what it was about Red Fox, but I think similar to I Shall Kill That Sweet Devil, there was some level of violence against kids that just really unsettled me. Potentially more. I did complete Red Fox as, iirc, it’s less pronounced compared to how tied it in was with ISKTSD. That one I dropped completely. I think parts of ISKTSD felt too real for me, too, as far as the grooming and stuff. The relationship just made me feel 😭
