lmao picturing an au where instead of the system telling lloyd he's here bc of a wish he made, it tells him that he's here bc of JAVIER'S wish. maybe it'll change stuff, maybe it won't, but i wanna see lloyd reacting to that lol

i am curious about that tho. the novel kinda implies that the reason suho was isekai'd was because of javier's wish, after all it's right after javier wishes that og lloyd could wake up as a different person that suho gets inserted into his body.

but in the webtoon the system congratulates lloyd on being chosen to be granted a random wish

it's a very specific wording too. "chosen to have a random wish granted by the absolute". it's not the same as being told he got a wish granted already. are we meant to assume his wish was granted by making him a character in the novel?? lloyd seems to believe that

but i'm,,, not so sure actually. i think maybe his wish will be granted in the future and to do that he needed to be isekai'd into lloyd's body first. the "good luck! you've got this!" makes it seem like he needs to do something in order to be granted his wish.

my best bet is the wish he talks about with berkis, where he says all he wanted was to have a normal family, a family that welcomed him home after work, that didn't struggle with money and lived a calm life without worrying too much. and that that wish hadn't changed with him coming there, he still wanted that and to just live without working, relaxing for the rest of his life with his family.

that's the closest i can think to a wish by lloyd that would justify him being sent into another world by the absolute. and it would fit the system wishing him good luck because it's something he needs to achieve before he can have it.

so,,, are we meant to believe that in the webtoon they changed the reason for lloyd being isekai'd from being the answer to javier's wish to being an opportunity for lloyd's wish to come true??? because that would be,,, not a very big change in the grand scheme of things but i do think it would take away from the very, very poetic parallel of javier being the unintentional reason that suho comes into his world and javier being the one to purposefully seek him out in the ending to bring him back again.

which.... now that i think about would be the exact kind of change the webtoon would make :/

but! to address your au idea (after this very long rant lmao)! i don't know if it would actively change anything,,, but it would definitely make lloyd very smug about it aksjhdka

like look how smug he is when he gets told javier considers him someone he needs to protect and that he's pledge his life to him

now imagine him knowing it is thanks to javier that he's there at all ahskdhjka

he'd probably tease javier a lot about being all his wishes come true which would make javier soooo mad. right up until javier figures out that if he just agrees to it or heaven forbid brings it up first lloyd gets so flustered by the earnestness of it all he gets tomato red and can barely speak at all let alone make a witty reply akjshdjka

This ending is so comically nonsensical that it made me feel okay with it. I'm the kind of person who can literally drop reading a story when there's a badly written romance, and when people were telling me that Lloyd ends up with Alicia and they have a daughter, I was very much fighting for my life to even start the novel. Because to be honest there's no way these kinds of stories have a very good romance plot. I'm sorry it's just that most of the time everything feels cheap and I keep on wishing the authors gave up on even adding it. But this? My God. It is so last minute, so out of the blue, that I can choose to ignore it and don't lose anything in the process. I can't even treat it seriously. Because if bk_moon wanted me to treat it as anything but a last "...actually!" then he should've made it matter. And it doesn't. And it's sad, I'm sad that they went that route, sad for Alicia and the time-old treatment she gets as a woman to get married off to the main guy when neither of their character arcs revolved around it. Now I understand your previous asks where you were talking about changing the marriage from Alicia to Javier and it making more sense story-wise and oh how clearly I see this now. But, still, somehow such a stupidly thought-through ending liberates, in a way, as I said, like it is true, undoubtedly, but it also too stupid for me to buy it :)

i know exactly what you mean actually akjshdkaasd

the ending comes so out of left field that it makes it,,, stick less in a way. it feels so disconnected that i can just. pretend it didn't happen ajskdhka

you can literally get to 401 and the not read anything else and you're good. that's a great point to leave it on. an open yet hopeful ending. no last minute romances, no important conversations being had off screen, no confusing implications being thrown at you last second. i am fully convinced 401 is the best way to end the novel lol

Now I understand your previous asks where you were talking about changing the marriage from Alicia to Javier and it making more sense story-wise and oh how clearly I see this now.

the only way i am semi-okay with a last minute wedding is if it involved alicia marrying both lloyd and javier. like. it makes sense. most of her thoughts right up until like,,, the last fifth of the novel are about how risky it is to the royal family for lloyd to exist without having a more tangible tie to it. but the same can be said for javier! the fact alicia never really worries about javier causing havoc in the kingdom despite him literally the most powerful person in the world is mostly because she sees him as,,, an add-on to lloyd. like yeah, javier won't be a problem as long as lloyd is not a problem. they're a 2 for 1 kinda deal to her. as long as she can keep peace with lloyd, she can keep peace with javier.

that's the thing about lloyd and javier. they are so deeply enmeshed into each other that even if you don't think they're in love, they are still tied to each other the way no other characters in the story are. they're are set do not separate them.

so. in a perfect world alicia decides to get rid of those pesky risks to her sovereignty and irreversibly ties them both to the crown, with the added benefit of getting some cute (and talented) af babies out of both of them. imagine a royal family composed of a ruthless queen, the greatest engineer in the world, the only grandmaster in existence and the children they would have. they would've been fucking unstoppable.

i am now mourning this version of canon. dang it.

somehow such a stupidly thought-through ending liberates, in a way, as I said, like it is true, undoubtedly, but it also too stupid for me to buy it :)

that is. exactly how i feel sometimes too. like yeah it may be canon. but it's a stupid canon. and so i don't have to listen to it asjhdka

you put it into words perfectly nonnie thank you for sending me this ask!!
