idk if it’s a “korean author” thing but this FL is def bland.. i had such high hopes bc she’s SUPPOSED to be hella smart only for the entire story so far being
“haha you’re a woman, no one will take you seriously” and that being true overall, she did basically nothing with her degree in the first few chaps we have.. SHE DID A WHOLE TOUR W THE ROYAL FAM BUT WAS NEVER ASKED WHAT SHES GONNA DO W SAID DEGREE.. nor did the royal family provide her funding/resources for her career, which would’ve been THE BEST PR POSSIBLE YOU BRAINDEAD INBRED FUCKS, instead, given what? a dress? some jewelry? and sent on her way.. wtf is the moral here? “hey girlboss even if you’re smart you’re only a WOMAN (A SECOND CLASS SEX!!) at the end of the day and YOU NEED a man to be taken seriously” is that it?
and by “do nothing with her degree” she made a flashlight instead of a taser or a self-defense item and has like- no other prototypes/designs aside from a FLASHLIGHT AND A STOLEN PATENT
now that you say it... it is kinda fucked up. the girl is aight i guess, but the lack of questions about her degree and future plans, same as the lack of FUNDING from THE royal family?? tbh feels like terrible plot. but I'm still hopeful the story will improve and the fl will become more interesting as the story unfolds. fingers crossed cause the art is gorg.
Damn give her a minute. She's just graduated and we don't know if she has other prototypes. We know pretty much nothing about her, which I agree is bad writing on the author's part. Still, she hasn't really been given an opportunity to be smart until now, so I will reserve my judgement for the next chapters when she's finally away from the royal family
Also it waz established that men won't even allow her in a male dominated space because she's a commoner and a woman at that. Like y'all are expecting so much of her just like how people in the novel expect what a woman should do and not to do. She literally holds no power and she was only invited from another kingdom not even her own country which they even mentioned was a republic. Y'all are reading with your eyes closed I swear.
the point is- regardless of her representation in the workforce she would have prototypes like other “magical engineer” FL.. well the good ones atleast like “A Strange But Effective Villainess Life“ shes only made a flashlight? fr?
i beg please remember that this is a historical manhwa, not only did you forget about the oppressive gender division within the law that the author perfectly implemented but you literally forgot that this is a historical manhwa i think you’re giving her way too many expectations thats hella based, just cuz shes not some quirky mc wannabe ex-villainess doesn’t make her bland
now this is just double standards cuz you didn’t mention shit about the guy that stole HER work and completely went off about the flashlight, bro you gotta reread ts.
nah it ain’t no double standard, fuck those people! did you even read the thread? she made a prototype that got stolen, and has only made a flashlight. the point isn’t “oh it got stolen” it’s IF SHE IS AN INVENTOR SHE SHOULD HAVE MORE THAN TWO. let alone the story itself not focusing on her inventions and more “her chemistry w the prince”
yes its double standards because how the hell are you expecting some literally so young, barely any money and a woman of that time to be inventing left and right? and yes i have read the thread but have you read the manhwa, you have completely disregarded her current situation(economically and trying to fund for her grandmas bad health) and her mental state. Aint nobody creating massive inventions with literally no resources at hand, especially when you have the whole of society looking down at you. Perhaps you can take on some actual historical reading where women created things but got literally stolen by men, do you actually think shes in the right mental state to be experiencing that with all the intersectionality she’s having? please reread the manhwa and stop reading quirky ex villainess manhwas
once again korean authors prove they can't write a high iq fl character. why even bother....
