It's not Penelope's fault. Eclis's character is of the 'yandere' obsessive troupe, he wouldve turned out like this no matter what Penelope did. And u shouldnt feel bad for him, hes a piece of shit and if u wait a couple chapters u'll understand what i mean. Penelope didn't lead him on or anything, she just rescued him from slavery and did what she could to help him. She's not required to have feelings for Eclis just becuase he likes her. Sorry for going on a tangent im just defensive over penelope LOL
Lol, the reasons you stated aren’t the reason he ends up acting that way. The reason is because he wants to be the only one to possess the FL and the only one she relies on, he thinks if she has a happy life then he’ll be of less use to her. What better way to deal with that than destroy her life (note the sarcasm). His main motivation is jealousy and obsession.
But he's not the yandere trope tho. In the original game, he was simple and honest which is why Penelope went for him in the first place. But the difference between the OG n Penelope is that the OG is "honest n good and whatnot" so meaning the OG treated Eclis as a person. And she didn't save him from slavery. HE IS STILL A SLAVE. And bro is the only living person from his country. His entire country was obliterated. It was erased on the map. Could you imagine being at the mercy of a noble to the country who was responsible for the destruction of your country? AND they didn't treat as a person but rather an object to a means? How was that not turn him crazy? I do feel bad for him. Feel bad for them both. But the hate he is getting is crazy.
Exactly that's what I was trying to say. He was normal until the
* the auction. He would have been normal if Penelope treated him normally. I don't blame Penelope either as she has no other option. But I don't like how people are treating Eclis as if he was always bad. He wasn't. It was the situation that turned him this way
Right? Also the double standards. If you think about it, Eclis is doing the same thing Penelope is doing. Whatever he can to stay alive. And atm, the person giving him that is Penelope! Why can't he anything to keep his lifeline? Yall applaud Penelope but not Eclis? They r both stuck in life or death situation. BUT ECLIS IS A SLAVE!! he has less choice then Penelope.
I am glad atleast someone agrees with me. Sometimes reading this story annoys me to see how blind people are to Callisto and blaming Eclis for everything
Tbh I might be biased as he is my fav (doesn't mean I dislike Callisto). I just wish people treated him better. He is the ultimate victim afterall
NO BECAUSE WHY ARENT PEOPLE UNDERSTANDING THIS. HOW ARE THEY COMING AT PENELOPE WHEN ECLIS IS THE ONE WHOSE HORRIBLE AND INSANE.
natsuhi you are so real for that
sorry i must have gotten the yandere trope mixed up with another manwha, but idk i just cant like eclis and i dislike how people are blaming penelope for his messed up behaviour, when its like she doesnt owe him anything??? she didnt save him from slavery yes but thats bc she doesnt have the power to do so, but she does try and help him from suffering abuse, even if its in vain. obviously neither character is 'good', both have their flaws but imo what eclis does later on is irredeemable, idk im waffling now sorry lol
Hmmm I would have to see ig. Idk what he does cuz I have not read the novel. She does have the power to save him from slavery. Her father is the Duke. I wouldn't say atm that she's helping him from suffering. She's dangling baits n sweets n whatnot in front of him to make him like her. She's technically manipulating him and that backfires on her. Idk if eclis was the Mc or a woman I think ppl would think differently.
I know Eclis would do something bad but I really don't blame him. Penelope is the reason he turned out this way. She always looked at him like a Escape route not as a person. Never saw or interacted with him normally and even Eclis knows that and I think that turned him this way.
Tbh I feel most bad for him
