Oh my God, why would they leave out a CRUCIAL details like this? I never read the novel so I was really set on hating Luciano. This overturns my view on him. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks so much for dropping this comment, never read the novel but I had a feeling the manhwa was leaving something out about the situation. I don't get why they would leave out an incredibly important detail like this, because then it's a complete 180° change from what's currently being presented.
Here is the novel excerpt as the Korean author wrote it. In other words, this is direct translation from the Korean text:
[He was looking at the handprints that remained on his sister's neck and wrist with his sunken eyes with a face already filled with hatred towards his sister's husband, as the crown prince's guards stood by the door monitoring them. (The crown prince left his guards to listen and watch what the siblings were doing and saying. Crown prince knows Luciano is a dangerous man. How? That’s a huge spoiler for those who do not already know how)
Unlike her mouth, which spit out all kinds of resentment and curses just like in her memory, she saw everything that she was blind to before, in her dream.]
The above shows Ines Escalante is now seeing everything that crown princess Ines Valenza didn’t see before in the scene. Later, Ines continue to reveal more and we learn that her brother was dead-set on killing the crown prince. Another thing that readers don’t seem to realize is that this is not a fantasy world where nobles just act without thinking of the implications to their family. Luciano just cannot rebel without first plotting it out.
Thank you very much
This is very important information about Luciano.
Thank you for this spoiler but some of the readers here don't read the novel doesn't know that they leave some important parts like what the first comment said. You can't blame us for hating Luciano and jumping to conclusions since we don't have any information about that important parts as the artist leaves the crucial parts.
Again, thank you for the information about Luciano. It helps a lot. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I have been reading novels long enough to know not to jump to conclusions. BR has shown already that a lot of things get revealed as the story progresses. I’m sure many people thought that Carcel was just the third guy when Ines chose him at 6 years old. Manhwa already shows there is a lot hidden about Carcel as it relates to Ines and the story will only continue to reveal a lot more.
Readers insisted before that Ines’s family forced her to marry the crown prince. Then manhwa hunting dream eventually revealed that Ines was the one who chose the crown prince. Manhwa even left out that at a young age, Ines would beg her father to take her to the capital city and when she got there, she would play “hard to get” with the crown prince. It was a mutual relationship. Her family never chose anyone for her in any timeline. None.
Manhwa also obscured the fact that there was dubious consent when Ines first slept with the painter while engaged and three months before her marriage. That drawing of her sitting on top of the painter, with a ‘cold and emotionless face’ while he is crying, only hints at the truth. They were both strangers in that scene and she went to his bedroom in the middle of the night, naked, and dubcon him.
Everything that makes Ines look bad in the novel was discarded or cut from the manhwa. The manhwa team only do not cut her actions that cannot be cut because it will hinder the story.
Well. It's you. But it's different with other people. You can't force them. xD I also read novels, but sometimes, I still can be hasty. And you already read the novel so you know the progress, and what scene was cut off from the story. The flashbacks and some hidden information were kind of jumble and it was confusing since just only tiny bit of them are shown, and not entirely.
Oh they did? Never read anything about that. For me, I know that she was not forced but she wants to be with the crown prince.
I think that it was a mishap on the artist side of how they portray them. I see. The fact that there's a lot missing things in manhwa saddens me. The art is good. They all look good! I do hope that they will fix things and includes everything what was written in the novel.
Even when I read the novel I wasn’t jumping to conclusions. :) I soon realized that everything is not what it seems. :)
The manhwa team obscured a lot of things. Ines was not a good fiancée by any stretch of the imagination to Carcel. Hopefully they won’t cut some of the things that will reveal more about how indifferently she treated Carcel’s life. It’s clear that the team focused more on making Ines look good and they inadvertently made everyone else look like the villain. That’s not how the novel goes. Ines’s bad actions and bad personality were clear from the beginning of the story to the point that Korean readers complained about her. That might be why they whitewash or obscure most of her bad actions and attitude.
Another thing is, they draw her as the most beautiful female and draw all the other females as plain or ugly. In the novel, there were other beautiful women besides Ines and Maria. I have never seen a manhwa draw side characters so plain or ugly.
In the novel, Carcel is the most handsome man with exceptionally good looks. Manhwa doesn’t draw him that way. I remember before the manhwa came out, a Korean novel reader had commented on the novel publisher site that she would hate for the story to get a manhwa because she felt the artist they choose might not be able to capture Carcel’s exceptionally handsome look. Sure enough this artist couldn’t. Carcel is supposed to look handsome on the level of the stares that Isidor in Perks of Villainess gets. Ines always associate him with the sun or light or brightness. She also describes him as ‘the most handsome man in the world without borders’. Drawing aside, the portrayal of his character is trending towards comical when in the novel, Carcel is a more serious guy. He’s a responsible husband, son, brother, heir and military officer.
I see. They changed a lot of things. How sad. I do hope so for the next season! Though I like the art. T.T I can't believe that Carcel is supposed to be extremely handsome. Gawd. He's already handsome, but if they followed the novel I bet I'll die because of him. Such a handsome man. Oh! But does the novel describe Ines as a simple beautiful woman? Not enough to be called most beautiful? Perhaps the artist might be a fan of Ines so they drew Ines and Maria prettier than the others? xD jk
Both Maria and Ines are beautiful. However, there are ladies in Mendoza society who are just as beautiful. If Ines was already more beautiful than Mendoza ladies, she wouldn’t have to starve herself in the crown princess timeline to stay beautiful. Ines is truly most known for her sexy, voluptuous body. That’s the part most talked about. But to Carcel, Ines is the most beautiful person in the world no matter her bad personality. He knows her flaws but loves them. He’s not blind to them. That’s the thing about him. Carcel is said to get his outstanding looks because his mother’s looks were added to his mold. Both are beautiful but objectively, the people in Mendoza credit Carcel as the most handsome one.
Oh and yes, the artist is a fan of Ines. If they were professionals, they would draw the characters as the novel laid out. The characters aren’t theirs. They belong to the novel author. Novel author doesn’t show favoritism between Carcel and Ines. She treats them equally when commenting on them and their actions. Novel author even says Ines is selfish but has a conscience.
Ohh! Ines main charm is her own body. Carcel is really genuine and kind. You can totally see that he's wimp about her. Such a sweet person Damn. That's really love. He's in love.
xD Aw. I was just kidding, but it's actually true. Hmm. That's kind of unprofessional if they just solely focused on their bias character. Being a fan should not hinder your job as an artist. No wonder that most of Ines' good sides were shown. Does the artist hate Carcel?
I appreciate you taking your time explaining both Ines and Carcel also the parts that were removed from the manhwa. (づ￣ ³￣)づ Thank you very much!
I don’t think she hates him but sees him more like someone who loves Ines. She was asked in an interview what BR is about and she says it’s about love between the two main characters. Other novel fans seem to think that she has no say and draws the story according to the story board by the storyteller. Storyteller is a fan of Raul and asked the artist to draw Raul more handsome and the artist complied. That just shows how unprofessional they are.
From the last blog post the novel author made about BR, it’s clear that somebody related to the manhwa business upset her. Ever since that, the author has pretty much distanced herself from the manhwa. She doesn’t talk much about BR anymore except as it pertains to the novel.
I see. That's rude for the author. Them not following what they actually look like. Readers might get the wrong impression about them. I feel sorry for the author it's like she's been disrespected by them. They should have ask the author first before they make changes! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
First thing to get out of the way is the fact that the manhwa left out an extremely important detail in the flashback to the time when Luciano found out how terribly Ines was living as crown princess. He said all those things because the crown prince guards were listening to his conversation at the door. Ines realized this during the dream but as usual, this manhwa left out this pertinent detail. This manhwa always does this. It’s like the manhwa team didn’t read the novel and have no idea what crucial details are. *sighs*
Moving on, as usual people are jumping the gun. They don’t wait for revelation when falsely accusing Luciano of not helping Ines in that timeline. In fact, part of the reason Ines killed herself is because she realized her brother was plotting rebellion. One of the reasons she decided to end her own life is because she did not want her family to be dragged down as traitors. Luciano even gave her a bullet and told her to kill the crown prince and if she can’t do it, he will do it because they cannot live in a world with the crown prince. He told his sister he will take responsibility for all of it whether she kills him or he kills him.
After Ines killed herself to prevent the demise of her family, Luciano still got hold of the deposed CP and cut off his limbs one per day. He had him locked up in a dungeon and he would get a doctor to prevent the crown prince from dying just so he could torture him each day.
Even in this current timeline, the only person the crown prince fears is Luciano. Why? Luciano has rebelled against the imperial family in every timeline except this current timeline. He’s like a sleeping lion who when poked, comes out roaring. So he’s practically responsible for Oscar’s death in some way or another in all the previous timelines.
As to readers, it seems they still haven’t learned anything about this story. Even though the manhwa so far has revealed there is a lot of hidden information, people are still jumping to conclusions about what actually happened in the previous timelines. There hasn’t even been full revelation of any timeline.
