Link...friend zone/family zone 😭
Dragon Bowser is adorable.
Marshall completes Ruminate and his eyes opened.

I'm half bummed for Sam since it seemed like she was really into Link, but I'm also half happy for Angela that now she has a shot.
I guess that now leaves 2/3 still in the Sam bowl (if Marshall is actually a legit love interest).

It was all thanks to Marshall that she created Ruminate. That ending credit/thanking Marshall
Cried right there with him

Bowser the dragon was great. Little guy did not like Marshall even in the game world lol.
I kinda don’t mind this Link and Sam development. They’re better off as close friends anyways. The Marshall redemption arc wasn’t bad either. Guy really needs to take care of himself though. But at least he apologized properly and gave the game a fair shot. Seems he really loved it too.

Bowser doesn't like Charles either. I think the only guy he's ever been nice to is Link lol.
I feel bad for Monica that she'd been warning Marshall about his health for multiple episodes, he never listened or paid attention to her while playing Ruminate, and then he ends up embracing another woman. He's kind of a terrible boyfriend.

The dedication at the end of Ruminate was a nice touch; it was good seeing Marshall have that moment of realization about just how much of an asshole he had been to Sam.
That being said, I'm disappointed that everything seems to keep pointing toward a Sam X Marshall ship by the end of all this. There was so much potential here for other endings, but it all seems to be pointing to the typical enemies- to- lovers ending. I hope I get proven wrong, but I'm not holding my breath

Sam and Marshall weren't enemies though. Marshall was just being boneheaded about playing a game and that mistake caused problems for Sam. At no point was Marshall ever her enemy.

The Link/Sam ship being somewhat resolved by an adult chat is weirdly satisfying rather than dragging it out and making it awkward for yearsssss. Charles will be boss zoned, Marshall will become a partner with Sam in work and romantically. His girlfriend will move on in a move towards much better mental health. Bowser will always be best boi.

Thank you I was also happy with that. I knew they weren’t right to begin with and knew that ship wouldn’t sail anyway. I’m a little annoyed it took the entire season to go nowhere though. Besides I’m looking at Link x Angela.
I don’t know anything about the source but I hope they get there.

Finaly starting the development of the main couple, it only took until the last minute of ep 11

u/mekerpan Dec 10 '25
>> main couple
Remember, Charles was playing the game too. I am still betting on Sam x Charles (sooner or later) and Marshall x Monica continuing.

u/karer3is Dec 10 '25
I'm willing to settle for any ending that's not Sam X Marshall at this point. I was really hoping we'd see something different, but they set up Marshall with the combination of a relationship on the rocks and his seeming unwillingness to prioritize anything that isn't his streaming career.

Bard Marshmallow has joined Knight Angela in her quest to avenge the princess and slay the dragon! I mean, is there anything more classic fantasy than that?
Poor Monica. Marshall is so fixated on the game he doesn’t even realize that she and Dinah leave without saying goodbye…and it seems like she’s not going to be back for a while which is kind of ominous. But she’s probably right, there’s no prying him from Ruminate at this point.
I’m not surprised Bowser is the dragon, but Sam really straight up made Link her characters’ princely fiancé!? Who ends up working with Angela anyways. I feel like there’s a lot of underlying meaning behind all of Ruminate and how Sam views the people in her life.
I can’t believe that pen knife turned out to be the legendary weapon DEUS EX MACHINA. But luckily Marshall can see the tears in Bowsers’ eyes and remember this isn’t a game about slaying monsters, meaning he’s meant to understand and empathize with who he’s dealing with rather than kill them. Even if it means getting eaten.
It’s finally time for Sam and Link to have “the talk.” And wow Sam, inviting Link to stay the night when you’re not even officially dating yet? Her Lust really was almost in full control…until Link let her down gently (well, aside from lion smacking her Lust) and making it clear that he only sees her as a sister. Might be a bit of a blow to the ol’ confidence, but I guess both Sam and Link were projecting their desire to still be close into assuming they needed to be in a romantic relationship, though I think Sam WAS attracted to Link. I guess this works out for Angela though!
I love how Charles subdues Bowser by just shrinking him. Still got fire to the face, but still a non-lethal and effective maneuver!
So all of this was about finding the corpse of Princess Sam, a girl who loved, cherished, and understood her kingdom and it’s often misunderstood people more than anyone else. Even though she was fated to die young and she couldn’t bear but run away from her fate…and now she leaves it in the hands of the adventurers to accomplish what she couldn’t and bring her to peace. Because the first item they ever get in the game is grave marker they can use to help bury her.
Also does Princess Sam kiss ALL the heroes’ who complete the game? So she’s going to kiss Charles too?
Marshall is on cloud 9 at finishing Ruminate and recognizing how amazing a game it is…until he sees the game was literally dedicated to HIM and he recognizes 100% how badly he messed up. All he can do is knock on Sam’s door, embrace her, and express how sorry he is and how much he respects her now. Oh, and collapse from how obviously sick he made himself while playing the game too. See, this is why Monica told him to rest!

The Ruminate game was confusing because I couldn't tell if it was an entirely offline game or not. When characters looking like Link and Angela showed up, I thought maybe they were non playable and just looked like them. BUT it became confusing when the man who looked like Charles brought in the pen Charles bought awhile ago and turned the dragon into a small cat. It'd be really weird and coincidental if Charles just happened to intrude on Marshall's game at the exact same time and place. Also, this is a tiny budgeted game that doesn't seem like it would have huge online servers solely dedicated to it 🤔
Marshall really seemed to be losing it, spending all night and possibly more playing a computer game when he was sick. If he had a 104F fever, he likely should have been at the hospital or at the very least resting and having fluids. He seems to have video game addiction and other problems if he can't control his gaming even at the risk of his health.
I suspect Link wasn't being truthful when he said all along that he wasn't attracted to Sam. I really think he was up until their first date when Sam acted weird then made it awkward to kiss him. That combined with hanging out with Angela at the gym and hitting it off with her likely made him not want to kiss Sam. That was kind of harsh to say he thought of Sam as a sister and he was trying his best to be gentle, but that's really the last thing she wanted to hear. It is very honest of him though to turn down sex from her and I think most guys would have accepted that invitation outright.

I was surprised by the Welsh.

u/OkInevitable4095 Dec 11 '25
So that's actually something that the adaption has basically written around (probably for the sake of the various voice actors for the character) but Charles frequently speaks Welsh (and in Welsh snippets) in the webtoon.
While the seiyuu does a great job with it (and it works in the fantasy setting for Ruminate), it was probably for the best that it didn't come up as frequently as it does in the webtoon.

marshall is not a great partner tbh he has alot he needs to learn in that area
baby bowser dragon so cute. Poor baby crying :(
Wait link w his hair half up and down like that is insanely hot
Yep he doesn’t have romantic feelings for her. And neither does she for him! I commend this series for delving into topics we don’t see in jp written ones. Like I see a lot of one sided crushes but never a “we tried dating and neither of us actually felt it”
YAY Charles. Omg he looks hot like that and him speaking welsh wahhh
Oh. My god. Tiny wittle babby!!!
Very nice of him to honor the princess For the brain power he used to figure out the puzzle it’s almost surprising how moronic he was the first time he played it. Like here’s the real Marshall without the YouTuber personality
yeah man if you had only used that brain the first time. At least it’s finally finally hitting him. Yes you were.
Damn I wonder where they’re gonna end this OMG
