getting tired of her "im too weak to help anyone" pity party. As a main character she should be doing something about it, go on a journey, impress the audience with her talents, intelligence and charisma. Nop, she just a dumb doll for the men to admire and do things for her. Even when the men do something nice for others, its not because they respect women, but because they want to make their pet "Sanghee" happy. I don't need her to be some warrior. She can be feminine and still have a goal instead of become a dog, lapping up her father's and brother's favors. And the manhwa's fanservice of male characters as attractive and charming is Disgusting, given the fact of their misogyny and human rights violations. its almost as if such disgusting behaviors are okay and forgiven lightly without redemption for men if they are handsome.
even other stories where mc reincarnates as an exiled or outcasted villain, the mc still bounces up and do things that affect the story. here? the men have more important lines than her
I dont think the argument of human right violations can be applied fictional characters but I understand your point. But I also feel you're dismissing the point that if she were to be her true self, they would find out shes been reincarnated and that jinsoo(?) had also apparently been reincarnated into their world. Shes using her own knowledge in korean to best them just because she physically can't.
The negative comments toward her are ridiculous since those spouting them dont take her "trying NOT to get killed by the king" think by her doing that it makes her look weak.
In fact her trying to survive her way, isnt dumb at all nor is it weak of her.
the thing is, we get it already. Its not the fact that she is not a warrior or smthg that we are mad about. Its okay to be feminine. But being feminine does not equal to being a doormat. What we fans are mad about is how little the story has respected Sanghee as the MC. All her actions have been mostly comic relief and 138 chapters in, has no significant impact on the story. The story is basically her sitting around while focusing more on what the men are doing. What we want is an MC that leads the story, not keep using the "I have no power" reason. 138 chapters in, its starting to sound like an Excuse for author to justify not giving her any interesting dialogue or roles apart from useless, cutesy, dumb scenes with more puppy eyes. Probably what the author thinks women are good for anyway. So yes, Sanghee is a very weak character because the author intentionally wants her to be an aesthetic decorative piece for the men in the story and she herself has no part in it. She has no arc that shows her importance as the main character to the story. Swap her with a cactus and the story would still flow. She has lost her goals and priorities, and the message seems to be "chasing after a man is more important than your freedom" and "women should get men to do things for them by being subservient and sucking up to them". The message is a domestic abuse waiting to happen. Its pretty disgusting how the story never changes the men for their behavior and still praises them. The usual "boys will be boys" message. Why is fan-service of male characters more important than their crimes of misogyny, slavery and so on? because it is totally what makes a man attractive right? Blehhh. And yet still we have fans in the comment section that supports the pervy harem king and his sons that use magic to terrorise others. None of that is addressed, and they still have this belief. Even fictional works have a message, and this message, I do not find good to leave alone unaddressed for other younger readers to take in at face value.
Even her talent in Korean, she had no reason to hide it, and yet the manhwa seems to be allergic to Sanghee actually being useful in something and till now, hasnt been brought up ever again. She even lied that she didnt know. For some reason. Even her healing powers are dumb as fuck. Are women only good to "nurture" and nurse men? See, this is what is wrong. Give her the tools and the way she need in the story to help her rise up against others. U know, form an alliance with Freesia, teach women underground. Yet nope. THe manhwa has no problem giving all sorts of interesting qualities and traits to the male characters. And yet there's only 3 named female characters. Freesia is hardly inside, the other one is Sanghee's younger sister that the king dont give a shit about. And last one is the uninspiring Sanghee. The manhwa is allergic to Sanghee actually having something relevant to reach her goals. I dont think Rosa Parks or Gandhi or Martin Luther king got human rights just by acting cute and sucking up to their oppressors, even if that meant they would get persecuted. Instead of sticking to her goal and be a intelligent main character that outsmarts and influence others, we have the mess that is Sanghee, who thinks being a dog is "smart enough" to change the world. Seriously, her eight year old self was much better. Its like she got dumb down when she came of age so that she will be attractive to the men.
Its like author really think women are not good for anything, and only created this unequal world as an excuse to hid his or her sexism. Baiting us with equality, until we wasted our time reading it and spending money on it, waiting for something that is never going to come, which is Sanghee acting like an actual main character and not a background wallpaper
The development is slow but it's good in my opinion, the mc maybe weak but she seems to often play her cards right and I enjoy that mask she puts on in order to survive. The king should help her explore those powers- he was such a douche in the beginning but it seems he's mellowing out too which isn't too bad.
I CANNOT stand chris, hes clingy, his pupils are freaky and he even admitted "love is for the insane" just to be near her within the special knights. It is extremely suspicious.
