I agree!! Her and Vahara would’ve had such a good sibling bond but the author just had to add the romance bit.
IMO the story already has enough drama with her needing to replace the sword/her past there’s no need for a reverse harem/love triangle. And yes she could literally just ask Yurien hey do u remember the past? But instead she keeps saying ridiculous stuff in her head trying to push him away. Like girl. Bffr.
Fr her struggles with the past and the cursed sword is already enough drama and interesting. Sometimes you just can see that author definitely self insert herself with all these guys falling for her which actually doesn't make sense bcs they're a knight. It makes more sense if Vahara admire her and have more respect for her as a fellow knight. Making him falling in love with her feels like he doesn't properly see her as herself which why I hate sometimes when author add unnecessary one sided romance, bcs usually they fall in love with this unrealistic expectations for fl which sucks. I don't like how the story going now with fl and ml having more screen time together. I hate it focused too much on unnecessary dialogue about the main couple romance which hinder the bigger plot of the story going. Honestly if they confess to each other how they remembered the past both of them can work together to find the person who puts the cursed sword, settle the conflict of the royal family, and protect fl's family more efficiently. I don't understand why the author doesn't do that
Oh and 1 more forgot to add that their romance can be build throughout that time too, which doesn't feels to forced or out of place like we get right now
Yes. I completely agree!
I lwk also find it annoying asf. But I also kind of understand why she isn’t just “hey I remember the past, do you? Also I’m in love with you” even though it’s so god damn obvious he is. Having killed him, the guilt of killing so many people? And him having trusted her to change and her not overcoming it? I mean I don’t think I’ll ever understand that guilt, and it seems like that’s a common trope in manhwas/mangas where the MCs are having trouble forgiving themselves and accepting that the other person has forgiven their sins. I get that, but I think the reason why we feel so frustrated is because the author isn’t executing it correctly. We aren’t focused enough or have enough dialogue on her guilt and her own personal conflicts, which is insane because it’s like the main focus on the story. The romance is secondary basically because of that, even the guilt towards her family is pushed back more. The plot is interesting, it definitely has potential for some really good depth, but the author isn’t going deep enough imo.
And I absolutely agree on Vahara, harems are just too much for me even if it’s just one sided second ml tropes. I find someone being able to build enough mental fortitude to hold back a demonic sword and the swordsmanship she apparently had way more respectable than something to fall over as a knight. He would’ve been such a cool character to have at her side like winterapple(idk her name but her roommate) and yk the potential character to make the ml jealous once in a while while he just has a familial connection with the fl; as in he makes the ML realize he’s in love with the FL if he hasn’t alr. Not for him to be an opponent for the ml and for them to go back and forth over their love.
Yes. This is exactly it. I was hopping he would admire her as someone strong and someone he wanted to be like, not someone he loves in a romantic way.
I agreed I don't have any problems with characters having difficulties to confess something bcs of their guilt but the author doesn't show it properly. And yup, about Vahara too even if I'm in his shoes I'll not immediately fall in love with that person. Just immense respect for holding back the curse sword as a fellow knight
I love this manhwa but the scene with Yurien and fl is getting annoying for me now. Why in the fuck both of them just didn't say to each other like 'hey, do you remember the past?'. It's getting frustrating with the fl monologue, 'no don't get dillusional' like bitch just confess already both of you remember the past and like each other. It's so annoying, it's not cute it's frustrating. Their scene turn to annoyance for me the longer it dragged out. And honestly I don't understand the need to make another characters fall in love with her? Like bro? Can we just make Vahara and fl relationship more like siblings? What's the point, just for petty drama and to show ml's jealousy? That's so stupid. And when is the ml pov that shows how he fall in love with fl? Bcs right now it makes 0 sense why ml even like fl. This is the 1st manhwa I think that makes me really like the politics aspects of it, like it's so good
