I just wanna get my thoughts out here in what I managed to read about this series.
I had just finished reading about the knight’s revenge and honestly, I just feel really sad and detached. Like I don’t mind that Musee doesn’t forgive him. She died to him, after all. But I feel like the story wasted his set up after they did nothing significant with it.
This knight truly was honorable in character. So much so that the white lotus had to use more brainwashing on him than usual and even then, the knight knew instinctively to try and avoid the FL because HE REALLY DIDN’T WANT TO HURT HER, whether he believed the accusations or not.
And they just did him in with the same savagery as the first dude who has a human trafficking business.
Like I can’t help but feel it isn’t fair?
I find it hard to be invested in this revenge not just because of the brainwashing aspect which muddies the water a bit, but ultimately isn’t a deal breaker (first guy had that business BEFORE the brainwashing after all. Maybe the remaining guys were also pieces of shit before getting brainwashed), but because the FL also just… doesn’t really care? She was never going to forgive them whether they get maimed or not and every comment I see says she just lets the dragon do revenge for her BECAUSE HE HAS FUN WITH IT. She’s not invested at all.
And I get that the trauma of 4 deaths can numb a person. But I immediately felt iffy when it’s revealed the white lotus is actually a POSSESSED white lotus and the OG!FL’s soul was sold to prostitution WAAAY before even meeting the FL. But the FL doesn’t give a shit. She doesn’t even switch names for who is the true culprit for all her suffering.
As well as seeing shitty people get their karma, I also read these to feel catharsis for the FL’s sake so if she isn’t attached to it then neither am I.
