Plaything - Ch. 18

[wugglesx]

dang its weird to see the 'corrupt principal' being on the opposite side, but it was damn funny haha.

Yeah, I can't help wondering what will happen by the end of the manhwa. Here, we have two broken characters, the father and Karma. The father lost his daughter to bullying while Karma was a victim of a human experiment. One might expect they become closer and the father finds and a new daughter while Karma finds a father.

But given that Karma is a psychopath, I more expect the father to die by her hand at the end while she disappears after having accomplished his revenge. Or he could try to get rid of her when he's done with her too, that's also a possibility. After all, he was already prepared to kill her when he thought she became useless in one of the first chapters.

However, I can't see a happy end here. So I have to say I'm really curious.

yeah this is one of those that feels like in the end there's no winner only karma. the concept not uhh Karma xD. so it seems like the dad might end up dying satisfied with the revenge fulfilled or in the course of it, either by karma or one of the bullies/those connect to the bullies. and karma either moves on, gone with the wind, or ends up going down with him while loving every minute. dad's seemed to have been broken ever since his daughters death i don't see him getting out of this unscathed and dont feel like he cares if he can take revenge for his daughter which he probably feels is also an attempt at retribution for him not noticing his daughter's suffering. karma herself though is still a complete mystery, we know a bit of what was done to her and how she see's some of the world but not much more yet. she feels no pain and shame, but that doesnt mean she couldnt develop empathy or desires outside what she already has, i dont think something like that would happen any time soon though, but doing it to 'dull her fangs' while cracking open a door for having some kind of future thats not pure violence wouldnt be out of the realm of possibility. the dad, well stepdad now, seems to view her as more of a tool so if they both reach the end it'd be surprising if theres no final confrontion. the only way i see them not clashing at the end is if he's super thankful for her taking care of the revenge for hyena or maybe grows to care for his surrogate daughter of doom..

i dont mind if it keeps going how it is, but i'm curious where they'll take it since there's at least 50 chapters currently, and only 4 other main perpetrators' of the bullying of hyena(this name still gets me almost as much as karma's, aside from her defending the bullied i think they were just jealous she had a cooler name xD)
