while i enjoy the revenge aspect, it truly angers my soul that she is saved by a man every time. she’s locked up? he brings her food. she almost gets raped? he kills the guy. she’s ganged up by bandits? he arrives in time to kill them. i understand she’s powerless but GODDAMN does she have to be saved by a man every time? what’s the point in positioning her as someone strong willed and out for revenge when in reality, she’s really just another damsel in distress? i can’t even appreciate her will to kill everyone because every single chapter she’s bantering with the duke and being saved by him. like for once! can we get a female lead who’s actually strong enough to fend for herself? i completely understand that she’s powerless but why not make the story about how she gains the power? if she was trapped, she could’ve endured by trying to collect any water dripping inside the cell. when the man attacked her, she could’ve tried to bite into his flesh and rip it off. when the men were cornering her, LET HER JUMP!! she had a whole plan! why does she have to be saved by him every time?? it makes me so mad! if she’s gonna struggle, let her struggle! otherwise, her “i’m not gonna trust anyone and i’m gonna take revenge” mentality doesn’t even feel like it matters for the plot anymore…
