witch hunting here do be sounding cool asf

this is such a banger fucking reply

peak

Real shit I was probably sleepdeprived. I interpreted the original comment as "genius" implying some sort of sarcasm to the moniker, paired with a "but can't explain why"

-as if to say he dislikes how he plays off as a "genius" character despite the author not really properly explaining how he's "a genius"

That's weird. The theme they are going witht genius here is clearly the capable blockhead archetype, so it seems pretty obvious to me the selling point wouldnt be to have him intensively explain the processes behind his every action. Not to mention before this chapter I swore we saw good showcases of his abilities, but idk

Worth the arrest

ok

point starvation ckblocking me from disliking

that has nothing to do with this

the woman here isn't an "enemy"
this is like looking at civilian bombing and going "what, too dark for you? well that's how the real world is!!11!"

it's not like he's ruthless and doesn't spare his enemies, which is edgy but a totally reasonable character trait

it's that he is quite literally unreasonable, I mean there is LITERALLY no rationale behind what he's doing EXCEPT for the purpose of being the absolute villian
and even worse, it's presented in a way where the audience is meant to see them in a better light
or at the very least, up until now his character has been consistently "morally upright" and intune to the "good mc" archetype

it feels even les like an edgefest and moreso delusion

surely you didn't just see blood and think "this mc gives no fucks he's so awesome and cool!!!" right?

what the HELL are these top comments bruh

nothing on najin's epic save
on elephant being cuckoo

just absolute degeneracy smh

I mean I totally would but then it would come off as a baseless and totally unfounded interpretation of the arc, as opposed to "I think this is a filler arc" followed by "since it doesnt add anything to the main story"

should have ended there imo

abyssal black dragon is so relateable 😔

if anything, the term filler was probably not invented so that anime-loving nerds (me) on the internet could define noncanon material, and was probably just used for ANY media that used content to pad out lengths', away from it's intended media

something like radio broadcasts, maybe even intermissions in live shows

so using filler arc as a "not related to the main story" feels way more accurate than simplifying even further to "not in the source material", which wouldn't even work here because (as far as I know) the webtoon IS the source material

guys, personally, I THINK filler arcs are often simplified to material that isnt canon, because by virtue of not being canon; the arc is usually incapable of generating content or plotlines that should or would influence the main storyline; since that would go against the source material and may/may not provide inconsistencies

an arc that's good is still af iller arc because it is ALWAYS written in a way where it will ALWAYS end up not affecting the canon because if the author says "a, b, d" I can't say "a, b, c, d"

I would end up dropping the c before I hit d, you get what I mean?

came back after pregnancy reveal

I want them to either be completely outshined or completely humiliated so badly

honoured one gets the pass but back to back and im still broiling over aiselle's mistreatment from that souless redhead

too mean to be waifu

there needs to be some humbling first

that's what I was thinking

before it just felt like a "prove myself" type situation, where she acknowledged the commoner's capabilities (leniency in tone always because of the background and social pressure)

but here it was just senseless hostility, especially if we consider their past relationship literally just revealed to us
it isn't even like a rivalry type thing, or kicking a dead horse, it's a type of disrespect that's practically ungrounded and sourced solely from some sort of well of envy and discontent for your peers, especially when coupled with her status as herself + the clique in the background

it was just sooo
"yuck"

im not commenting on whether or not it was a good portrayal of a bully and maybe me not liking it said something, but it definitely didn't feel consistent and if it was then it would shed a different lens on all her previous actions as ones broiled practically from her own (self or outwardly) loathing, which is just jerkish

but hey, maybe she's been posessed by an evil demon and it's making her be meaner than normal!

damn
I had hopes for red bitch, I thought she was just short tempered...

but there was so absolutely no reason to go after neck like that, something about the way they portray that kind of bullying hits even harder (that kind being WOMAN on WOMAN action)
praying on her downfall from now on 🙏

okay, and what do we call arcs that do not contribute to the mains storyline/overarching plot (they are effectively synonymous)

personally I define those as filler arcs
I mean I could still be wrong maybe one of the models becomes a core character or sum

but I only called it on an off comment because the arc doesn't try to portray itself as impactful in any way, besides being a side gig literally, it also READS like "he's just having a side gig", it doesn't feel like it takes itself seriously enough on its own ontop of so far not really providing anything towards a main story arc

that's why I'm simply presuming this is "a filler arc"
I could be wholesomely wrong, and maybe it's such a good ass "filler arc" that calling it a filler arc would be an active detriment to its prestige, but if that's what it'll be I'd like to know beforehand
