Should I make a webtoon out of this?

I have more but im tired rn so

So, back when I talked about Him and Emmaline's relationship, I missed out few points,

So, Gabriel and Emmaline lacked devotion, but that doesn't stopped Gabriel being protective towards his spouse, I mentioned it before he respects her motherhood, he kept the sensitive topics away from her and everything until she was caught escaping with his son, they have an argument, Gabriel snapped at her for doing so and saying this action will make him executed. After she said "I can't do this" then she ranway. Gabriel just stood there like a stone and had to face guilt for making his son motherless.

So, this lore dropped in chapter 77 to 78, labeling himself selfish and after few talks he said to Davina that 'Not to fall for anyone else" and kissed her hand in a flirtatious way.

Now, I'm not saying he doesn't not deserves a second chance, but rather this switch up feels off, to me. we previously saw in chapter 100 that Mikey struggles with grief and acts like nothing happened infront of Davina and Gabriel. I feel bad for this kid. I cannot embrace their relationship fully while the kid still trying to cope with his grief. but since Gabriel's pov, he truly believes that "she is dead" it would be hard for him to recall that for himself so he is also trying to cope with it and move on.

Now core points aka my unpopular opinion on the series:

Gabriel did care for Emmaline's dead but, meanwhile her fate is still unknown whether she is dead, the romance between him and fmc feels l 'misplaced' because we still got many problems to be solved.

First, before Emmaline was first introduced, i thought she was some abusive mafioso that Gabriel still feels guilty for and doesn't want miss a chance to be in healthy relationship this time.

The teasing in the first earliest episode felt fanservicy, rushed rather than actual slow-burn and a bit, cringe. I was just questioning myself that what's so attractive about the employee who is doing her job rather than a wife who also did the same but lacked combat skills.

But I'm still sad at the fact that she still didn't not had anyone to talk to because, Gabriel returns blood on his hands, despite having a supportive husband she did lacked someone that actually can help her to figure something out.

i didn't find fmc that badass like how webtoon describes her to be, either minor antagonists were dumb or ENA actually has more deeper cyber security practices. But I kinda also wanted to point out at the fact that how Gabriel’s forced once are always timid while fmc—his type is all "badass" but i respect Davina's character and her challenges that she face, she needs some rest.

I'm not into Gavina (both ship and separated characters) for more obviouse reasons but I respect the fans and I'm into the side couple Nicolina more

but we are still didn't haven't got enough character growth which I hope we will have in this season.

And my main point was, like I want Emmaline to be described more, beside of being timid. I believe she is more. More than just innocent but resilient. and I don't think she should be compared to Davina, by the some fans, because each woman experienced different trauma and horrible life experiences.

My previous posts didn't described my core points perfectly so that lead to some people misunderstand my points, I missed a lot. I was being humorous until I realised my points were misunderstood and I couldn't explain everything well but I hope this clears up.

And at the end of the day , The Mafia Nanny is still enjoyable for entertainment and it includes trauma bonding, cliffhanges and more,

I may delete the game and go back to 2ds again

Kinda

⚠️⚠️I respect all the ships! This is just a picture version of how Gavina sounds to me vs How Nicolina sounds to me

Okay but listen, I love The Mafia Nanny and the story, I have nothing against it, but these narratives pmo. Idk if it's for fanservice or writing flaws, no hate to the author, but I'm just gonna discuss.

Okay, so Davina, the elite badass, sassy, girlboss, kickass, hyperskilled, intelligent, professional nanny, sometimes either gives 'not like other girls' vibes, but idk how to describe it. Like, I get it, she is an elite nanny—high-class people who get well paid—but that doesn't mean I'm gonna pretend to find her that 'badass' like how Webtoon describes her to be. I feel like the minor antagonists are just so dumb or being dumb on purpose to make the FMC an elite badass, sassy, girlboss, kickass, hyperskilled, intelligent, professional, etc. etc. Even the ones with cyber experience, like, a file's security is so poor that she can access it 'badassly'. Now, listen, other women are elite nannies too and I actually prefer them more than the MC. It feels like they are actually doing the job instead of doing whatever with the widower. It’s not a badass move if she's gonna break ENA rules for a man.

Gabriel, the male lead, I used to find him attractive, but I don't feel butterflies in my stomach anymore after seeing him. He is blind asf. So, Emmaline, Gabriel’s former forced betrothal missing wife (second pic) who has been missing for over a year—the only thing returned is a bloody wedding ring. Emmaline is described as fragile, innocent, kind, soft, timid—yada yada yada—aka soft hyper-feminine, who isn't Gabriel’s type. Aw, poor single dad. Ik Gabriel gave her physical protection, but he was never there to give her emotional support. Idgaf if he respected her motherhood, he should have just talked. Like, both married people are victims, okay, but I don't get why he is so gentle with Davina while just emotionless with Emmaline. Oh, because 'they didn't love each other, they lacked love for each other, it was arranged, you cannot force someone to love.' Well, you don't actually need to love someone to be by their side or have a gentle conversation instead of snapping at your own wife for sneaking out while requesting a new-gen nanny, while lifting her chin and holding her hands. Like, I don't get it, I don't get his logic, because he is providing emotional kindness to someone he has a crush on and him being captivated by the nanny. Like, for what? For taking care of the child? For protecting the child? Like, it's her job, and even if Davina really loves Mikey (the kid), so did Emmaline. She encouraged him to have hobbies instead of mafia crap. What did she lack? Elite badass, sassy, girlboss, kickass, hyperskilled, intelligent, professional, combat-skilled nanny training. Like, no, no, just give Emmaline an object and she'll turn it into a weapon. For her SON (the 3rd slide). If she can say 'Viper’s nest' infront of the don for her son, then how it could be impossible?? Just give it a chance. I think Davina overshadows Emmaline naturally because she is being an elite badass, sassy, girlboss, kickass, hyperskilled, intelligent, professional nanny, which caught Gabriel’s attention and just lifts her chin 24/7 whenever he tells her to do nannying, and Emmaline is just as fragile, innocent, kind, soft, timid, etc.—not Gabriel’s type. You cannot tell me that this isn't indirectly competitive.

Okay, I needed to say it before, but he did mention he is guilty for being selfish. Actually, I don't think he was genuinely guilty, but yes, he acted selfish, and I'm not gonna deny it just because he was a victim. Like, he wasn't the only one there, yk. I think he said he was guilty to ensure Davina's loyalty, like to make her feel pity for him, because after that story, he told Davina not to fall for someone else, was in a flirtatious mood, and kissed her hand. Yes, very guilty. Okay, but I'm not saying he doesn't need a second chance, but this, made me feel lose interest in him.

Ik this is supposed to be a romance webtoon, but it's was so rushed for a slow-burn sub-plot especially for rushed pacing and lacked chemistry. I'm okay with power imbalance tropes but it's not for that. That's why it felt flat to me it didn't caught my interest.

But the story itself is interesting and I think there's still some good stuff to catch on, like Nicolina! (5th slide). Nico and Alina (Gabriel’s current betrothal) don't need a rushed pacing nor a standard slow-burn. It feels way more natural and way more forbidden love vibes. I really love how the author balanced their dynamic because this isn't a core attention of the Webtoon, so it feels more natural than fanservicy. I have nothing against on Gavina, but I just don't like to prefer them as 'power couple' the ship didn't caught my taste as Nicolina, but I respect all the ships it's just the reason above why I don't get attached to it despite it being canon or popular. (BTW the last one's edit isn't mine, I found it from Pinterest, I think it's just fits for clickbait for title lol )

These are my honest opinions on the romance and main character. I have nothing against them, but yes, my hot take. Everyone has a different opinion on some even if they like the series.

So, what do y'all think?

I'll go first, I really love The Mafia Nanny but I'll NEVER forget how cringed I got for that rush pacing from the start and Davina gives not like other girls vibes in some way idk how to describe it, Gabriel be lifting his employee's chin whenever he asks her to do nannying or the other which i got ick because it felt forced and it felt like he already lusted over Davina imo and he ain't even close to gojo and how ads often shows his shirtless panels which ruined the hype for me to drool for his abs. i find main couple annoying the romance sometimes feels misplaced, HOWEVER, forever thanking it is a subplot so there's still some goodshit to catch on. It’s still good and I give this 6 out of 10

JUST AN OPINION! I would love to know yours

Hehe Love triangle to poly yes

I know I know, it's artist is that one GL smut artist but I'm kinda curious of this like I really love her artistyle but Idk about this hetero webtoon i mean it is like a situationship trope, are coins worth in it?

So, there's a one trope that can be found in some webtoon or manwhas, and it's glorifying sensitive issues.

Now, some people may say "they r good now"—like okay, I still don't find it hot and there you go, people starts to use personal insults on you, blame you for series cancellation, long hiatus—like wow that's just my opinion????

Idk how some ppl gonna defend it and it's always justified when it's the Male lead with abs. Even they get mad when you call those characters "morally grey"—like they are already labelled "morally grey yearning men" by the webtoon why is this new

Before reading this, i want to be confirmed.

I want to give a shot

Go Eunhyuk : He lusts over fmc after ghosting fmc for years

Beom Taeha : He stalks fmc for no damn reason

Hades (LO) : He cheats on his partner for a girl who is more busty, more short and acts childish AND 19 yo with upside-down azz

Matthias : He SA'd FMC

Gabriel : Well, he is the type of person who will treat you better IF ur his type unless ur just emotionally neglected by him

So, it felt like Davina has too much of a red, so I made the suit kinda orangish color and i thought Davina would look cute in freckles and For Gabriel, I didn't changed his appearance much i just added a bit blonde highlight

Idk which flair should I put this into bc this is more of an edit rather than fanart

I love THEMMMM
