#or is jahardt

[iamumbra195]

Been reading my in-laws are obsessed with me and I think it's one of my all-time favourites.

I was afraid that Therdeo, the ML, was gonna turn out like all those other annoying Duke of North MLs but was pleasantly surprised with his overall character because while he does have the stereotypical characteristics and messes up quite a lot, it feels different. It feels more like an actual traumatized man fumbling to understand his feelings and make them clear while avoiding misunderstandings (and failing miserably for quite a while).

Pereshati, the FL, is literally so well-written and amazing. Her anxieties and paranoia made the whole time travel situation feel so much more real. Like if someone time travelled in real life, especially within such a short period of time, they would have their doubts. They would think that it was just an overly vivid dream or deja vu and Pereshati does just that. She doubts herself for so long until she gets concrete proof (pun fully intended lol) and even then struggles with her overall situation. Everything about her feels human and she's so well written.

The way their relationship develops is slow and frustrating at times but it's really amazing and seeing their romance slowly bloom from a relationship that was initially transactional in nature is honestly heartwarming.

Not to mention how beautiful the art for the webtoon is. The artist manages to convey emotions and struggles using facial expressions and body language so well it's truly amazing.

Highly recommend this webtoon, it's well-written and sweet and the plot is really intriguing. Watching Pereshati connect the dots and begin to get a clearer picture of everything that is happening is really great.

Anyways, I've been playing around with picrew for the last few days so I made one for Pereshati using this image maker and I think it looks really pretty!

I did the best that I could with the tools available lol but I think it looks kinda pretty. I wish I could add her golden eyes though, they're honestly beautiful. Eh, whatever.

Anyways, despite the horrendous title, this story is honestly amazing and well-written and wish people talked about it more. Highly recommended lol.

*squee*

All of this!!!

I’ve been wanting to do my own deep dive analysis of My In-Laws are Obsessed With Me because it’s just so good, and now I can just reblog this!!!!!

😊

I’m very new to the manhwa scene, strictly through WebToons, but hearing this was originally a novel doesn’t surprise me as I’ve noticed that trend.

Having not previously known about the novel, however, I’m with you on the “Ah, is that why the start of this series was so rushed and just - plot hole level of out of character?”

I trust sengu for eventually ironing out some of those details - I almost laughed at the lampshade hanging of “If the curse does [x], how are kids born??” and them just going 🤷 in universe, but you can see how the logistics of everything are actually important.

(My theory is “it’s a curse, it’s gonna do what it has to to inflict maximum suffering,” and the tiny bit shared of historical curses this far suggests they might be this powerful)

We’ll see how it goes, but overall I’m willing to forgive the sub-par start for the glory we have gotten once Celphi got introduced!!

This was supposed to be some form of Therdeo Dane Lapileon Defense Thesis but my brain cannot pull off all the necessary research to do it justice.

So I guess let’s just brain dump all my thoughts and feelings?? About this manhwa?? (Spoilers for the story up to episode 63 on Webtoons and 66 on Naver Webtoons)

…this also gets FAR too long so cut is here for sanity’s sake. Tl;dr Theo Lapileon is a wounded puppy and I want him to be happy gdi

Keep reading

[jacksgreysays]

I'm going to 1) boost this absolutely fantastic webtoon because i love it so much and i really would love to see other people interact with it and 2) so it makes sense for it to be on this particular blog, do a little brainstorm for what kind of fanfic i would theoretically write for it

And ao3 is down right now anyway, so you may as well, lol

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD READ MY IN-LAWS ARE OBSESSED WITH ME:

Season 1 just finished (75 chapters total) with Season 2 scheduled for next year (presuming translation time) so if you're worried about starting something that isn't complete or, conversely, jumping in to something that is dead in the water, do not worry this webtoon will take care of you

I consume a lot of garbage media so trust me in knowing what is and isn't garbage. Yes the title is weird and also it initially looks like a cheesy vampire harlequin but trust me it's not.

It's got everything I love and, hopefully, if you're reading this post you love some of these things too: time travel, political ramifications for things, DRAMA, beautiful fashions, the slowest of slowest burns of yearning, supernatural mystery revolving around a blood curse, a female lead who is more concerned about SURVIVAL and VENGEANCE and BUSINESS than romance (but also the romance is very cute eventually, emphasis on the eventually)

The art in general is stunning (again, kudos to the fashion) and the story telling in the visual medium is absolutely heartbreaking. Slight spoilers, but there's a part where it gets into the ML's PTSD from being at war and the way it's portrayed is absolutely devastating. Actually a lot of the FL's anxieties and self doubts are also portrayed wonderfully in this medium. It's THOUGHTFUL in its usage of imagery. There's also a fun recurring bit where every time the FL is framed weirdly in the shot it's because the ML is right next to her right off screen being devastatingly handsome

The side characters are great. The titular in-laws are fantastic. I weep thinking about the residence manager who is so bad at his job and openly cries about having to do work. Celphius would be my son if he weren't so enamored by having Pereshati as his mom instead.

All of the characters are SMART. Or, at least, they're logical. I never ask "why are they doing this?" because everyone is acting rationally for what information/abilities/biases they do have. And yes, the biases are important also (because god knows I hate the villains but they are, unfortunately, rational in their cruelty).

They're also proactive about things? Like, very often protagonists are just reacting to the next awful thing thrown their way, but both the FL and ML are taking steps to achieve their goals even if a lot of it is off-screen.

Please. I beseech thee, read the first ten chapters at least, if you've gotten this far in this post, just read the first ten chapters.

Anyway, so as to at least maintain the thinnest veneer of this being a writing post, the theoretical fanfic I'd write for this series is under the cut and does contain SPOILERS:

It would appear, at first, like a straightforward AU, beginning with the characters at the age they are in the canon. So ~early/mid-20s(?) ish?

But, just straight up, Therdeo is not the grand duke and Pereshati is an imperial secretary(?/scholar?). But Therdeo is probably head of the knights of the grand dukedom, so he has to be in the capitol for ~reasons~ especially since he's probably still the "hero" of the war.

The fic appears to be a straight forward meet-cute romance between elite knight, third son of the Lapileons and imperial secretary, only daughter of the Zahardt countdom. The levels are not exactly equal, but it's a lot more evened out than in canon. Maybe there's still a "please pretend to marry me so I don't get trapped in an engagement with the 4th princess" but her vibes are SO RANK I don't even want to deal with that :/

So now why does it only APPEAR to be a straight forward meet-cute romance?

Double time travel.

Well, possibly quintuple time travel depending on how deep into it we get, but basically: Pereshati and the four Lapileon in-laws who are older than her (Therdeo, Saoirse, Phineas, Gloria) all travel back to the first time someone died from Gen's blood being sold (not Islette's) which is at least several years, if not over a decade from the canon start time.

Maybe the Lapileons coordinate with each other about this, but regardless, since it's from Pereshati's view she wouldn't get to see that.

On her side what changes is: unfortunately, I don't think she can save her mother. But maybe she can prevent her father from re-marrying and emphasize cherishing the family they already have (ie, each other and her uncle+his family). And because she does now have so much experience running a household and is, you know, a fully educated grown adult in a child's body, when she goes to the academy she does EXTREMELY well. Like. Imperial Scholar well.

And, yes, she is her father's heir. But he's healthy and not married to someone who will kill him, so she sort of has the freedom to have this imperial scholar job for a while until he decides he wants to retire and have her take over, etc.

So she's working in the capitol, and Therdeo's also in the capitol.

Or maybe she works at the academy as a teacher now?

If Celphius didn't still exist, I would cry. But maybe his father is still alive and that's why Therdeo isn't the grand duke. Or even if Celphius' dad is dead (RIP) then Saoirse's family is definitely still alive and so SHE'S the grand duke(/duchess) and Celphius has an older cousin that he has to be VERY CAREFUL WITH.

Regardless, at the very least. Saoirse's son goes to the academy. Maybe the meet cute is, now that Celphius is old enough, he ALSO gets to go to the academy. And as a Good Uncle (This Time) Therdeo will be there to support him and also bring him to the Academy and be an extra set of eyes for whichever of his older siblings is the grand duke and anyway he meets Pereshati and they are both trying to hide the fact that they know each other because of time travel while also falling in love(?)

Maybe.

I just really liked the idea of re-leveling their respective statuses so they can stand on more equal footing when they meet T_T

ANYWAY PLEASE READ IT. I KNOW AO3 IS DOWN NOW ANYWAY, SO YOU MAY AS WELL

I’ve been wanting to talk about the WebToon “My In-Laws are Obsessed with Me” and why it’s one of my absolute favorite stories just about ever, but haven’t had enough mental presence to go into it all.

(Warning: Romance comic, but amazing slow burn marriage of convenience between two traumatized individuals that is done exceptionally well, and even though you want both sides to spit stuff out you completely empathize with why they’re being respectful and/or still not in a position to recognize they’re falling in love)

But the most recent free episode!!!

🤩🤩🤩

It’s just a small thing, and I can’t even discuss it beyond broad strokes because it involves just about every single spoiler for the metaplot.

But! But!!!!

One thing I love the most about this series is that everyone in it is intelligent.

And not the “good at math smarty smart” kind.

This is not a series where the main character has to do everything because people are chained to their idiot balls.

I’ll say there is a curse involved, and the MC initially is like “Ok, time to do some research on this mystery!”

And then is introduced to the members of the afflicted family who have dedicated their lives to that single thing, becoming doctors in order to treat and research the curse, and the MC is just “Oh, right, they’d have already tried.”

There’s been a theory in the back of my head, never actually mentioned aloud in the series but pretty obvious (in the best way!) given the mechanics of the curse and a recent evolution of it.

In this episode, the female MC hesitantly goes up to her “marriage of convenience” husband and merely suggests this particular theory as he is the one in a position to ask questions…

Well, “suggests,” she brings up the relevant antagonist…

And he calmly goes over all the research he has already done into the matter, evidence for and against, pointing out the things she’s previously brought up that lead him to suspect things and it’s just��

They’re so smart!! They’re so proactive!!!!

The only thing that’s kept me from gushing earlier is a recent revelation that a major character has suffered sexual trauma in the past.

So please, if respectful depictions of “someone was drugged and put into a traumatizing situation in order to try and force them into marriage” is something you can’t deal with, please know this WebToon is respectful about it but it is a huge part of a character’s backstory and, sadly, the current plot.

If you can handle that, though???

This WebToon is a must read.

Even if you’re not into slow burn romances, even if you think all cishet romances are boring and pointless (which is wrong, btw, from my pan perspective).

The episodic formula sadly seemed to push the earliest episodes into a very rushed pace in order to lay enough plot points to get readers interested.

But once the marriage of convenience happens, this is a masterclass in writing.

On how to make empathetic, relatable characters who make decisions that make sense.

Bad decisions because of believable circumstances, good decisions based upon their own strengths.

In how to integrate clues to a metaplot through the narrative, and also have the characters react naturally to them.

The visual storytelling is also just so so good, you can tell so much about what the characters outside the mc are thinking!

If you haven’t yet and WebToon stuff is your thing, read this series!!!

Otome Isekai #inktober2022 Day 19: Pereshati Jahardt from My In-Laws are Obsessed with Me. I think the dynamics of family and her gaining the trust and love of each family member is really believable.

✨Manhwa Recommendation✨

Title: My In-laws Are Obsessed With Me

Where to read: Webtoon

Pereshati Jahardt was a beloved daughter of a count. When her father passed away, she inherited all his fortune. This led to her greedy stepmom and stepsister to conspire with her lover to kill her. After her death, she woke up and found herself back a month before her murder.

Even though she had doubts whether she really turned back in time, or if she just had a nightmare as a premonition, she made a plan to keep herself safe. She proposed a contractual marriage to the mysterious duke, Therdeo Lapileon, whom she knew could help her keep her position as the Countess. However, during her visit, she uncovered a huge secret of the Lapileon family that could affect her revenge.

[webtoon-related-tournaments]

Countess Jahardt:

First but minor villain of the story. She killed people and it took a while to get her in prison. As an aside, what she does have going for her tournament-wise is that, without her attempts on the heroine's life, the heroine wouldn't have gone to the duke for protection and wouldn't have

Daisy:

Isekaied in her own book. Bags the father of the main character by sheer luck.
