Have you pondered?

So I'm on chapter 56 of the manhwa and It think plot is just buzzing over head with all the conspiracies that i want to point out.

Though I must say the difference in view points in the manhwa and novel bring quite a lot of things to light.

So far all that we know about the characters surrounding the main lead andthe main lead themseleves could be completely wrong.

I'll tell you why.

See there has been an underlying story trope in some recent manhwas that as a writer I couldn't ignore.

Following the 'All you think you know is false' storyline in which the story directs the main attention to various distinct occurrences or events in the story that are actually minor plots in order to mask the dark theme of the story.

This is a very common practice between action and thriller writers in order to hide a lot of useful information from the reader.

Now-a-days the rom-com genre writers are using it extensively just to get us hooked onto the story.

Namely there have been five rom-com manhwas with the same writing trope excluding men of the harem :-

->I became the hero's mom

->untouchable lady

->I was born as the demon lord's daughter

->who made me a princess

->villain's savior

Let's take a quick look at the similarilties between them that i want to highlight and explore what this trope really delivers.

Firstly, the main characters of these stories actually have long histories or repetitive lives which they themselves have no idea of and this has a direct connection to the central theme or plot of the story.

Like Ayeesha had lived many lives that entangled with her first form that has a connection with her rebirth and she had no clue of her previous lives whatsoever.

Similarly, Hilise too lived many lives and was oblivious to her powerful role in her story.

Skiming through briefly,

Irene, Athanasia and Elzay, all had extremely important first lives that were part of their current world that they had forgotten about but then they were dragged back into their same life to correct wrongs.

See where I'm getting?

Secondly, all the above mentioned manhwas have a single or first person narrative like usual manhwas but there is one thing that readers fail to notice.. The story is seen from their perspective alone.

Yes,yes. What's so great about that, isn't it normal?

Let me explain the difference.

In these novels, the authors all use single narrative. That is, the story is narrated by an unknown speaker by follows the journey of a single character.

In this form of narration, the author can show other characters thoughts without necessarily having to make the main character aware of them.

That's why you can hear their opinions and read about the things that take place even after the central character has left the area. Whereas in a first person perspective the scene ends when they leave that place just like you don't know what happens after you leave a room.

So you will not be aware of any guy observing the main character from far because they cannot see them.

Do you get the difference ?

Now, the correlation to the stories is that, due to being presented in a first person point of view we see each character's behavior filtered by the main lead's opinion or idea of them.so a person that they find kind might not actually be one.

A fine example would be Guesta's real personality, Latil sees him as a soft natured guy whilst in reality he is not.

So it is very possible that the author is making us run around the bush uselessly when Latil's actual birth might be thousands of years ago which she has no recollection of.

This will promptly support that Carlein's words of "I have known you since before you were born." are not nonsense and that he has known and interacted with Latil as someone else before hand, It's just that she does not remember their exchanges.

A notable mention in the same trope would be 'Black winter' but seeing how long this 'meant to be short theory' went I don't think I should proceed with the explanation for the same.

Be sure to check out the manhwas I mentioned, they're all equally interesting.

Well then I will be leaving you~

A Letter to my little angel

Darling Athanasia,

I will dearly miss you.Watching you grow into the brilliant person you have become today fills me with immense pleasure and love.

I guess, little one, you could call this life a beautiful tale of growth, acceptance and love and all your time less mischief too.

But like all amazing stories yours must also end. Though I can hardly call this an end, For this end is truly the beginning of your boundless journey.

Sadly, I will no longer have the privilege to witness the life instances of my dear little princess but you my darling sunshine have matured through all the trials you had to face.

I just wish that in the days to come you will be blessed with so much happiness that your future will be blindingly bright just like your kind nature and adorable character.

I'm glad,

For all the silly tricks and unforgettable memories you've shared with me

…Thank you Athy, my dearest ray of sunshine.

With unending affection forever,
