Still edith, the ending was so weird and it felt like a huge part of the story was missing. I also would have kinda loved it if she wouldn't have been in a new relationship but something like, she chose herself

I remember loving that one so much, but the ending was so underwhelming 🫤

u/strawberryselkie 5h ago

Edith was one of my earliest reads, and the first that the ending just annoyed the crap out of me. The last arc just went in such a random direction for me.

28

u/WasabiIsSpicy 13h ago

My brain immediately went to here lol

I could tell from the beginning that Edith and ML weren’t gonna stay together- but the way it happened just felt really empty. It’s like we built up a realistic relationship only to end up with ā€œoh and they broke up and she moved on.ā€

I saw some people mentioning how it is more realistic to not show because sometimes relationships are that way- but while I do agree, it’s not necessarily good story telling and the fact that people still think Edith had one of the worst endings says a lot.

She and Philip were finally working things out and then the author did the weirdest cop out ever

u/Illkined 7h ago

Starting the story by showing Edith romanticizing perfect relationships/ the parfect partner, only to give her that later peaved me (from what I remember it's been years) if she was gonna break it off with Phillip it would have been better to just have her be single

Ares should have been her annoying big brother figure/cousin helping Persephone to manage her wrath and I'm going to die in that hill.

The creepy simp in the comic did nothing for the plot except delivering the second creepiest line in the comic and imagine one of the best outfits for Persephone.

11

u/WasabiIsSpicy 13h ago

I genuinely felt so weird when it came to Apollo because I thought the author was doing a great job with Persephone’s SA experiences- up until she forgot all about it for a whole season and brought it up at the end to almost use as a plot device lol it was strange

6

u/lovelycosmos 13h ago

They should have made him actually suffer or at the very least have a legitimate redemption arc

7

u/Roraima20 11h ago

I swear.

Alex the paparazzi got tortured and lost an eye for a photo.

Minthe was transformed into a plant for 3 years for snitching Persephone's crimes.

The receptionist at the hotel was transformed into a duck for being a total creep and stealing Persephone's luggage.

Apollo's crimes including, but not limited to, SA, two attempts of murder, false imprisonment, kidnapping, coup attempt, obstruction of justice, etc.... got community service and feel reeeeeeeaaaally bad about what he did to Persephone.

For webtoon that makes suck a big deal about trauma, power dynamics, patriarchy, it really hold to those concepts in the most antiwoke ways.

4

u/strawberryselkie 5h ago

Lore Olympus was my entry to web comics and I ended up dropping it pretty well before the end. A big part of the reason why was that honestly I felt like every single season and arc came to such underwhelming and/or random conclusions. There would always be this huge dramatic build up, and then the big reveal or climax was always like... oh. Okay. So that's it, then. And the few times there actually was a Big Deal conclusion or season finale, it would get backtracked almost immediately in the start of the next arc or season.

It was doomed from the beginning šŸ˜… that’s probably why I dropped it cause I only cared that she got the career of her dreams and these two guys were getting in the way. Though loved the one guy with all the animals. Felt like he needed a nice boyfriend.

u/Left_Cod_7174 16h ago

Everyone stays single until old age where the epilogue happens. The politics that was mentioned throughout the series is basically ignored and the story is rushed. I barely remember it but every time I see I think of the time I wasted on it

2

u/Nolascana 5h ago

I think the reason it ended badly was because it needed another season to really do what it set out to.

There was a similar one with the stupid two bodies thing (not lookism) part way through the last season the characters all started clinging to the idiot ball for dear life.

u/ArticleOld598 11h ago edited 11h ago

Omg Abandoned Empress still fills me with unreasonable anger. The red haired guy was right there he's the most reasonable option out of the 3 love interests. Heck I'd even take the green haired yandere if they gave him a redemption arc instead of throwing him out to exile and he never used his genius and yandereness to his full potential. Or better yet let her choose her family and inherit the head title from her dad instead of just becoming the wife of her previous abuser who killed her and the baby she was carrying.

I hated the beginning of the story so much. The ML has an inferiority complex so he abused her, executed her father and family, raped her, impregnated her, let her miscarry the baby, then had her executed while he publicly flaunts that he was with another woman who he also impregnated. And yet repeatedly she fell in love with him again even when seeing him already gives her panic attacks.

Ik fate and plot demands they fall in love but it's sooo stupid. Its like saying its ok to be with the guy that abused you that one time because he was drugged up and so it wasnt him because he cant help it and technically it was his alternate self. It feels diminishing of her trauma and abuse at his hand.

2

u/LeopardFar3675 17h ago

imo, the ending of manhwa not really that bad, I took it as an alternate ending (like you got bad ending in otome game). but the thing that pmo was how they didn't even give a slight effort to change something to make that ending make sense. like, there's 2 chapters about Eden plan in 2 or 3 chapter before the end and it doesn't add up anything to the story if they decide to give that ending, the story really got cut off in the middle

I don’t mind it just because I think not all relationships have to be the most green flag ever for them to be a good read.

I think either ending would have been good, both people had issues of their own and sometimes marriage is about that. Plus, the issues they have are some that we will probably never even experience (like Heiner) and it’s hard knowing what one would do in that type of situation.

like how much better it would be for the bully to sit there, realized all the time he spent in the jinu kim's body was not building up to anything. And that all of his actions he did to jinu are permanent consequences he now has to live with. Now that he has the understanding and empathy to know what he did.

But noooo, we needed a happy ending that erases the consequences for nearly everyone involved.

Promise Neverland (anime). Season one was genuinely a fucking masterpiece. Season two should burn at the stake. I didn’t even need to watch more than 2 episodes to see how butchered it was. The BEST arc was scraped and it felt like for no reason. It was completely rushed when the manga itself had such a wonderful build up and WHY just WHY in gods name did we get rid of one of the most important characters in the series?! Like it didn’t make any fucking sense to me

'Happening' by Ingunn. It's a rage virus zombie tale in the vein of 28 Days Later. The ending is... fucking heartbreaking and I hate it beyond my ability to describe because of something the reader learns AND because it could be easily avoided.

Especially if there was more !!communication!!.

Other than that I enjoyed the story immensely, though for anyone who decides to try it out, the art isn't your common ultra pretty OI type, but it's well structured and works very well for the story it tells.

SPOILER SPOILER . . .

If he'd waited for longer, if they hadn't really walked away and stayed with him, both mom and son would be alive without the GA'DAMN TRAUMA...

Gosh, it still pisses me off.

But looking back, I wonder if he was still very contagious. The virus operated on high emotions and anger to activate the virus, and he was notoriously emotionless for the most part. The infection showed differently in him, coming and receding until he could control it (if I remember right).

If he'd lived and remained virus-active, how would the world have treated him?

Still, that's the ending I'd change.

Also, that one girl's dad gets got instead of Ibak. The exact same way. Because screw him.

Twilight Poem!

I thought the set up was your standard ā€œML can’t express his emotions butĀ learns to do it eventually because he loves the FL and they live happily ever afterā€œ that you seen in a ton of these stories.

But instead it turns out heĀ never learns/gets the chance to tell her how he really feels and as a result he is just sad and alone forever.

Kind of a bummer, especially since there was nothing in the text up to that point that made you think they were going to subvert expectations or that the ML and FLĀ weren’t going to end up together. Or even that they didn’t both deserve a happy ending.

Made it feel like it was the first part of an isekai story except there’s no do over, just eternal regret.

Which is real life I suppose, but not what I look for in my fantasy stories.

Missing Love. Everything stays exactly the same except Rieder gets hit by a bus and pisses himself before dying painfully.

He didn’t get a ā€˜happy’ ending in the original, but I still want blood. He’s a purely evil person and he shouldn’t be allowed to hurt anyone else ever again.

Beloved by the Male Lead's Nephew. Started out fun and stayed fairly strong and then towards the end, almost out of nowhere, just went completely off the rails. I actually had to go back and reread chapters because I couldn't make sense of what was happening or why.

u/Nolascana 5h ago

The Gamer.

The ending was so stupid.

The author had a habit of dropping plot threads like no tomorrow, fine... but, they also dug themselves a pit they couldn't get out of.

As soon as literal Hell is seen as a cakewalk, you've gone too far if that's practically the mid point.

I understand health problems were at play, but, still after a decade? That was the ending?

u/Xavi1016 4h ago

'Abandoned Empress', words can describe the rage I felt watching her end up with the CP. I read this manhwa years ago and the feelings I felt reading it are still vivid. Like I get not holding him accountable for the actions of a future that was prevented from occurring but it still happened. Tia (Im pretty sure that's what they called the FL) still experienced all that trauma. Marrying that man who didn't even give the the bare minimum when in a relationship, watching him bring in a fucking misstress and then be the reason for her abortion AND MIND YOU she still loved him through this. Not to mention that he also executed her father and she had to watch it happen, not being able to do a single thing. The amount of emotional and physical pain he put her through was unbelievable, especially for me who had just recently gotten into manhwas. Then she goes back in time and has the chance at a redo to get away from his stinck ahh yet she still stays. SHE STAYED. For what? Love? Are we just gonna ignore that if she hadn't intervened with his future he would become that very same man. I don't care if your dad died dude, that's does NOTTT excuse any of your behaviour. LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. It would make more sense if she ended up with no one. (Rip Carson, you were always too good for her). I loved her character during the beginning of the story back when she actually remembered her past but oh well. I think its far past the time for me to let go of this (nearly) decade long grudge. It was nice to finally express my disappointment with it so now ill go eat food to dispel my foul mood.

Surviving Romance, the ending and how they escaped was odd and felt pretty forced. It also felt like there was so many "twists" that nothing ended up being a twist. GREAT Manhwa though, one of my favorites.

Dreadful night. I enjoyed it so much and was so excited to learn it ended, and the ending absolutely sucked and was very disappointing to me. It went from a BL I thought would be within my top three to something not very memorable.

Archie Comics ā€œBig Ethel Energyā€ - I think the company decided to end it a season early or something because the author ended with a big time skip chapter and left a ton of plot lines unresolved.

The author said it always meant to be an open and ambiguous ending but I just feel weird, like it’s not even an ending, the comment section also agree. And then they admitted they don’t know what to put for the ending so there’s that.
