I think the fact that the spirits keep talking about story and destiny made her to anxious too
I don't understand how y'all can never understand that trope.
Cuz imma be fr, if I ever reincarnate to a manhwa, I would do the same! Who knows what could happen??? What if we dated and they still longed for their destined partner and then leave me? The fls are just being logical lmao but ig u can never truly sympathize cuz ur a reader who knows they are the endgame. But put urself in her shoes. She's just a person who reincarnated to a world in which she knows what happens to the future. She's a reader just like us, so she knows who the endgames r lol Not only that, she's literally living in that very story.
Nothing annoying about protecting themselves from getting possibly heartbroken.
I get what you’re saying, but for me it’s not about not understanding her. I do understand she’s scared and wants a backup plan. My problem is the way she goes about it. Protect yourself all you want, but don’t shove the ML toward another girl when neither of them even want that. If you’re afraid of heartbreak, distance yourself or break up, sure, but why go out of your way to force two people into a relationship that doesn’t need to happen?
If it’s “destined”, then let it happen naturally. Forcing it is extra and unnecessary. The ML and ogFL are their own people, and they deserve the choice. To me, it’s hypocritical, she’s worried about her own heart, but she’s trampling on their agency. If he’s in love with her and showing it with his words and actions, how is pushing him at someone else helping anyone?
That’s why I hate this trope. It’s not the fear of heartbreak I take issue with, it’s the “I must pair them up because the story says so” mindset. Just leave, or stay and fight fate, but don’t build a relationship against the will of the people involved.
Love Lan so much but oof, I forgot how frustrating she was being while this was on hiatus. It's mostly the "pushing another women on the ml because of the original storyline says so" trope that is annoying. Always hated when a FL did that but so happy Eus exploded and said my thoughts out loud. He has his own Will Lan, and that goes for the ogFL as well. Even if the worst does happen you can't just force people in the moment to be together because of a "what if?!" that only you know or understand, it's disrespectful to their agency as a person. So glad it was resolved, now go give Lan a bunch of love Eus, the poor girl needs it.
