Ares should have been her annoying big brother figure/cousin helping Persephone to manage her wrath and I'm going to die in that hill.
The creepy simp in the comic did nothing for the plot except delivering the second creepiest line in the comic and imagine one of the best outfits for Persephone.

I swear.
Alex the paparazzi got tortured and lost an eye for a photo.
Minthe was transformed into a plant for 3 years for snitching Persephone's crimes.
The receptionist at the hotel was transformed into a duck for being a total creep and stealing Persephone's luggage.
Apollo's crimes including, but not limited to, SA, two attempts of murder, false imprisonment, kidnapping, coup attempt, obstruction of justice, etc.... got community service and feel reeeeeeeaaaally bad about what he did to Persephone.
For webtoon that makes suck a big deal about trauma, power dynamics, patriarchy, it really hold to those concepts in the most antiwoke ways.

Ok, but if you are writing a power fantasy like LO, at least you would expect a fitting punishment for the rapist, but all we got was:
Being a ungrateful brad and a mean bitch to your strict mom (that was right about pretty much everything)
Flaunting your wealth (that your sugar daddy gave you) and harassing your working class ex classmate that didn't like you (for good reasons)
Destroying the apartment of the girl that flirted with your husband once and threatened to kill her (because you know how you got your man)
Everyone that went against Persephone snd Hades relationship, even if a little was was punished harshly, but the guy that actually harmed her got community service.

u/strawberryselkie Aug 19 '26
Lore Olympus was my entry to web comics and I ended up dropping it pretty well before the end. A big part of the reason why was that honestly I felt like every single season and arc came to such underwhelming and/or random conclusions. There would always be this huge dramatic build up, and then the big reveal or climax was always like... oh. Okay. So that's it, then. And the few times there actually was a Big Deal conclusion or season finale, it would get backtracked almost immediately in the start of the next arc or season.

u/Quartzs_Quarry Aug 20 '26
I dropped it not long after the Apollo storyline started since it felt out of nowhere for me at the time, and didn't sit with me right at all. I'm glad I did since the writing really seemed to take a downturn after the official release of the comic (I remember more of the pilot stuff since I had read the comic before it was a Webtoon original)

I think the reason it ended badly was because it needed another season to really do what it set out to.

Omg Abandoned Empress still fills me with unreasonable anger. The red haired guy was right there he's the most reasonable option out of the 3 love interests. Heck I'd even take the green haired yandere if they gave him a redemption arc instead of throwing him out to exile and he never used his genius and yandereness to his full potential. Or better yet let her choose her family and inherit the head title from her dad instead of just becoming the wife of her previous abuser who killed her and the baby she was carrying.
I hated the beginning of the story so much. The ML has an inferiority complex so he abused her, executed her father and family, raped her, impregnated her, let her miscarry the baby, then had her executed while he publicly flaunts that he was with another woman who he also impregnated. And yet repeatedly she fell in love with him again even when seeing him already gives her panic attacks.
Ik fate and plot demands they fall in love but it's sooo stupid. Its like saying its ok to be with the guy that abused you that one time because he was drugged up and so it wasnt him because he cant help it and technically it was his alternate self. It feels diminishing of her trauma and abuse at his hand.

My life as a loser, it should NOT be a happy ending! it should have been about the bully coming to terms of what he did to the protagonist. not some "oh the timeline was rewritten so we could have a happy ending for everyone involded"
like how much better it would be for the bully to sit there, realized all the time he spent in the jinu kim's body was not building up to anything. And that all of his actions he did to jinu are permanent consequences he now has to live with. Now that he has the understanding and empathy to know what he did.
But noooo, we needed a happy ending that erases the consequences for nearly everyone involved.

Twilight Poem!
I thought the set up was your standard “ML can’t express his emotions but learns to do it eventually because he loves the FL and they live happily ever after“ that you seen in a ton of these stories.
But instead it turns out he never learns/gets the chance to tell her how he really feels and as a result he is just sad and alone forever.
Kind of a bummer, especially since there was nothing in the text up to that point that made you think they were going to subvert expectations or that the ML and FL weren’t going to end up together. Or even that they didn’t both deserve a happy ending.
Made it feel like it was the first part of an isekai story except there’s no do over, just eternal regret.
Which is real life I suppose, but not what I look for in my fantasy stories.

'Abandoned Empress', words can describe the rage I felt watching her end up with the CP. I read this manhwa years ago and the feelings I felt reading it are still vivid. Like I get not holding him accountable for the actions of a future that was prevented from occurring but it still happened. Tia (Im pretty sure that's what they called the FL) still experienced all that trauma. Marrying that man who didn't even give the the bare minimum when in a relationship, watching him bring in a fucking misstress and then be the reason for her abortion AND MIND YOU she still loved him through this. Not to mention that he also executed her father and she had to watch it happen, not being able to do a single thing. The amount of emotional and physical pain he put her through was unbelievable, especially for me who had just recently gotten into manhwas. Then she goes back in time and has the chance at a redo to get away from his stinck ahh yet she still stays. SHE STAYED. For what? Love? Are we just gonna ignore that if she hadn't intervened with his future he would become that very same man. I don't care if your dad died dude, that's does NOTTT excuse any of your behaviour. LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. It would make more sense if she ended up with no one. (Rip Carson, you were always too good for her). I loved her character during the beginning of the story back when she actually remembered her past but oh well. I think its far past the time for me to let go of this (nearly) decade long grudge. It was nice to finally express my disappointment with it so now ill go eat food to dispel my foul mood.

My Daughter Is A Zombie. I understand why it ended the way it did. It was tied up beautifully. But I wanted better for everyone. It was realistic but I just wanted it to be perfect

Attention residents!
The author said it always meant to be an open and ambiguous ending but I just feel weird, like it’s not even an ending, the comment section also agree. And then they admitted they don’t know what to put for the ending so there’s that.

Jinx, I wouldve made it last longer and explored their relationship a bit more. It felt very abrupt. Still, there are a lot of side stories to come, according to Mingwa

1) The Snake and the Flower💔💔💔💔💔 2) Duty after school💔💔💔💔💔
These two have worse endings, if I had to change the endings, it would be these two.

'Happening' by Ingunn. It's a rage virus zombie tale in the vein of 28 Days Later. The ending is... fucking heartbreaking and I hate it beyond my ability to describe because of something the reader learns AND because it could be easily avoided.
Especially if there was more !!communication!!.
Other than that I enjoyed the story immensely, though for anyone who decides to try it out, the art isn't your common ultra pretty OI type, but it's well structured and works very well for the story it tells.
SPOILER SPOILER . . .
If he'd waited for longer, if they hadn't really walked away and stayed with him, both mom and son would be alive without the GA'DAMN TRAUMA...
Gosh, it still pisses me off.
But looking back, I wonder if he was still very contagious. The virus operated on high emotions and anger to activate the virus, and he was notoriously emotionless for the most part. The infection showed differently in him, coming and receding until he could control it (if I remember right).
If he'd lived and remained virus-active, how would the world have treated him?
Still, that's the ending I'd change.
Also, that one girl's dad gets got instead of Ibak. The exact same way. Because screw him.

I would let the characters stay dead and show the others moving on now that they know the truth, or show Frankenstein revive them on screen so that they can live peaceful lives.

Classic but Needs to said.. The 1/3 going to the ending must be changed. Like all route going to the glazed ml, Ruze needs to be omitted.

Beloved by the Male Lead's Nephew. Started out fun and stayed fairly strong and then towards the end, almost out of nowhere, just went completely off the rails. I actually had to go back and reread chapters because I couldn't make sense of what was happening or why.

Archie Comics “Big Ethel Energy” - I think the company decided to end it a season early or something because the author ended with a big time skip chapter and left a ton of plot lines unresolved.

I’m aware odd girl has not ended yet, but I would change the odd girl out ending. I feel like all the characters development has been brushed to the side and their friendship, especially. Their personalities and friendships were fleshed out just to change the whole main story to romance. The mL for Nari(MC) makes no sense for who she was as a person and was overall poorly written and he’s just quite creepy to me. 😵💫

[Father unrivaled] The final chapter is a summary of what happens with the characters. A quick summary, that feels more tell than show.

Gates of Hell... Wtf was that ending? When did we take a wrong turn at Albuquerque? I would've expanded on the magic system/lore, made the main character less of an unlikeable mess and cut out the lazy twist.

Missing Love. Everything stays exactly the same except Rieder gets hit by a bus and pisses himself before dying painfully.
He didn’t get a ‘happy’ ending in the original, but I still want blood. He’s a purely evil person and he shouldn’t be allowed to hurt anyone else ever again.

The Gamer.
The ending was so stupid.
The author had a habit of dropping plot threads like no tomorrow, fine... but, they also dug themselves a pit they couldn't get out of.
As soon as literal Hell is seen as a cakewalk, you've gone too far if that's practically the mid point.
I understand health problems were at play, but, still after a decade? That was the ending?

Dreadful night. I enjoyed it so much and was so excited to learn it ended, and the ending absolutely sucked and was very disappointing to me. It went from a BL I thought would be within my top three to something not very memorable.

Still edith, the ending was so weird and it felt like a huge part of the story was missing. I also would have kinda loved it if she wouldn't have been in a new relationship but something like, she chose herself
