I’m with you on that one!!!
I even read a spoiler — SO HERE’S THE SPOILER WARNING
That supposedly, she forgives her uncle/the family for everything that happened and how they treated her at her coming off age. And she even called him dad there too. But take this with a grain of salt as it had been over a year since I read that spoiler and I’m not sure it’s completely accurate. But if it is…. Smh.
Another spolier i read somewhere... wonder if it is true
The real Selena actually died from neglect before Hera's soul took over.
Then that’s even more fucked up and I can’t believe they’ve trying to give this family a whole redemption when they basically killed a baby almost twice if it hadn’t been for Sherina taking over the body. And the fact that something only changed because Sherina took over the body is sickening.
Yesss it's all so messed up. We're not dumb. Throwing money and connections around while acting tsundere is not a redemption arc. At least the other duke ML that are romanticized kill for their country, dukedom, or family. He waltzed in as the casual baby killer ya'll, and now he wanna act cute! I'm burning over fictional characters!! Help me!
THANK U
I really hope not OMFG
Actually most of those “father daughter relationship” stories have neglectful fathers with questionable redemption arcs that shouldn’t ever be there
Just read this whole conversation and yeah, I totally agree with all of this!!! Like, there's the one with Penelope Ecart??? I haven't read it in a hot minute bc I had to drop it. Everything about how she acted around her brothers, the crown prince, EVERYONE that HURT her really urked me. It's so rage inducing.
Yeah, but with her it’s actually quite good cause she never really “forgives” them and acts like a nice daughter and happy family. I’ve read the novel to fairly further point and she’s always very cold towards everyone. She has great comebacks and doesn’t flatter. I love that about her, I love the angst and the regret. She actually goes through with all her plans, unlike other stories. Even the most popular “Who made me a princess?”, Claude’s neglect was never really properly addressed between them too, there wasn’t much solution except brushing it off. And that’s the case for most of this kind of stories, it’s quite disappointing. Some of them should 100% be revenge stories.
I think so far, Kill the Villainess have the most satisfying ending for me in this genre
Also, let’s not forget the typical “Daddy of his little princess and a neglectful father towards his son” trope. Actually, only recently I’ve found some stories where fathers were never neglectful, and care for their kids equally. Cliche’s can be nice, but they really overdo the whole “cold, handsome father” part into “neglectful, borderline abusive father”. Like, it’s not necessary.
I haven’t read the ending yet, but I’ve heard, since she does marry the crown prince (who ain’t a green flag either) I’m sure there could’ve been a better one, but I actually also somewhat like the ending of “Terminally Ill extra has a limited time” as well. Family should’ve gotten revenge but I like that she never forgave them until the very end.
Ooooh! Does it really get better? And yeah now that I think about it she really didn't forgive them, my apologies for that slipping my mind lol. And oh yeah, I completely forgot about that manhwa. I also dropped it at some point, it was years ago now though and I can't remember why. But I know that I remember being really frustrated and angry after the mom showed up and never picked it up again bc Claude was being ridiculous
I finished it, but it definitely had a lot to ask for. When it comes to Penelope, was she ever nice to them tho? Because I always remember her being very cold and indifferent from the beginning. The only tolerance she had towards them was to survive cause of affection level. She had to, and even regardless of that she sometimes risked it all just to tell them off.
Jesus I completely forgot about the affection plot point
Hahahah yeah, unfortunately she didn’t have much choice.
I recommend u to pick it up! It’s pretty satisfying, my go-to for relieving frustration about this kind of plots. And the best parts are still ahead in the webtoon! Haven’t happened yet and I can’t wait. Gonna be sooo good
I think it's a different webtoon you thought of, but I recommend going back at it, mc made sure that the people that hurt her could never get her
It’s definitely that one, I didn’t read that part of the novel yet but heard the spoilers. Doesn’t she marry the crown prince? Can u spoil me the ending?
if you are talking about 'Kill the villaness' then she leaves all those toxic people and returns to og world with her knight, they end up together (▰˘◡˘▰)
I really like this story and its ending
you should give it a try
Who else still can't get over that this grown ass Clown was gonna kill a baby (HIS OWN NIECE, HIS BLOOD, HIS KIN) because she wasn't useful. Even some of the hardest criminals wouldn't kill a damn baby. I'll hate him till the end, even if he risks his life for her. Ain't no telling how many babies he's killed in his life. AND how he gonna love his son so preciously and still be fine with killing and threatening small defenseless children, the duality of his arrogance fueled by dumbass principles disgust me.
