Omg same, the abandoned empress was trash. I read the novel spoilers and I just fcking dropped it then and there. The ml had absolutely no reputable aspects. Not to mention, unlike other stories, I think they spent way too much time showing the past where the ml was an absolute ass. (He fcking raped her like wtf) I had first shipped her with the green haired guy but then the author decided to ruin his character by making him into a crazy yandere, it’s like, why make the ml seem like a good choice when you could just make every other candidate unable to The the ml. We still have carsein tho, and I’m sad she didn’t get with him instead. Anyways, the story is shit and I hate the ml of that story.
Also, for this story, I don’t think the ml is an ass like the one in the abandoned empress. I read some spoilers and it’s actually pretty cute and sad what happened in the last life. If you want to know, just ask.

Boooooi you're SO right!! Gawd just remembering it is pissing me off -.- I was like "okay green haired boy seems nice and lovvvaaaaAAAND he's nuts, awesome" and I cant quite get the reason why the fuck blue haired prick seemed like a better choice over carsein but fuck if I care anymore. But hey, if you're saying the ml here isn't as bad as that one, I trust it ;) thanks for the advice!

Rant about abandoned empress cause I was reminded again of that sht show:
Not only was the ml trash, he ruined not only the mc’s life but also the other girl’s life too. Cause after she died, he kept comparing the other girl to the mc cause the other girl couldn’t do everything like the MC could(which makes sense since she was raised as a normal girl all her life) and basically ruined her life too. But no, the other girl is apparently the villain of the story cause the author decided to choose the worst ml of all time. He hurt both of them yet he’s able to have his happy ending while the other girl who didn’t even want to be brought to that world is treated like the villain and exiled at the end of the series. It’s the fcking stupidest sht. Instead of making the ml have any redeeming qualities, they just added a villain to try to make it seem like, “guys guys, he’s not the bad guy, that girl is. You should hate her instead of him” like wtf. The transmigrated girl is just as much of a victim as the MC, even if she did try to take advantage of the MC in her second run. That would make sense since she was brought into an unknown world where the only person she could rely on was the prince. That was for her own survival, but noooo, just name her the bad guy even though the ml is worse than her, AND SHE’S JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE. LIKE HOW CAN YOU EXPECT A GIRL THAT’S GROWN UP IN THE MODERN WORLD TO JUST SUDDENLY KNOW HOW TO DO THE DUTIES OF A QUEEN, WHICH TOOK THE MC YEARS TO LEARN. Not to mention, he legit held a grudge and made the mc’s life a living hell BECAUSE THE MC’S MOTHER CHOSE TO PROTECT HER LIFE OVER HIS. LIKE NO SHT YOU DUMB FCK. SHE’S HER MOTHER, STOP BEING A TWAT. Like how can you make me believe he’s the victim, when he acts like an ass for the most childish of reasons?! HE WAS UTTERLY IRREDEEMABLE BUT THE AUTHOR STILL TRIES TO PULL A, “but he was really sorry when he found out about what he did” LIKE BICH. HE MIGHT NOT HAVE DONE IT IN THE NEW LIFE, BUT THAT WAS STILL HIM. HE HAD THE CHARACTER TO DO THAT, AND EVEN IF HE TURNED INTO A NEW PERSON THAT’S LESS OF AN ASS, WHY DID HE HAVE TO END UP WITH THE MC WHO’S HUNDREDS OF TOMES BETTER THAN HIM. LIKE, SHE LEGIT HAD A PANIC ATTACK WHEN SHE MET HIM.
THERES A WHOLE ENEMIES TO LOVERS TROPE, BUT THIS AIN’T IT SIS.

Carsein is literally the ONLY DECENT guy- the emperor is an absolute DICK and green haired guy is obsessive and crazy asf- you dont even need time to think and choose between all of them- just instant Carsein and CARSEIN ONLY and it pisses me off that the ml is the emperor- like he ABUSED both mentally and physically, and RAPED her and STILL get to be ML?????

LMAOOO THIS DEFF AIN'T IT But hOlLy SHIT I never got to the part where the other girl showed up so I didn't realize that. Blue boy just got 10 times WORSE and I'm so damn mad rn. HOW DARE HE (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
If you're gonna choose the other girl, make her your queen and fucking behead someone over her, AT LEAST TREAT HER DECENTLY YOU ABSOLUTE JERK (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ GOd I hAtE Him. And what the fuck was that about holding a grudge against her because of her mother like WTF DUDE?????? I think I read up to a point where it seemed like he was jealous of her or smth idk I just couldn't care less at that point about his reasons but STILL what the fuck. And there's smth you said that is smth I've being saying for AGES when I was reading it.
IT DOESN'T.
MATTER.
THAT HE'S SORRY ABOUT IT.
BECAUSE IF THE SITUATION WAS DIFFERENT.
HE WOULD FUCKING DO IT AGAIN ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
Like I dont get what the author thinks character development is but to take someone who's capable of murder, rape, mental and pysical abuse and say "hey look, he feels real bad about it okay? so lets cut him some slack and move past it" is NOT how it works hun.
Sorry about the rant lol yours triggered mine

Don’t worry lol but yeah, he’s a fcking ass. The part I talked about was an extra from the novel that talked about what happened after the MC was executed and I got legit mad. But seriously though, he was attached to the mc’s mother and when her mother decided to protect the MC over him, HE GOT FUCKING MAD LIKE OMG. GET YOUR MOMMY ISSUES OUT OF HERE AND GROW UP.
Not to mention, the author just does a, “he finds a letter from the MC to another character talking about her past life and he remembers all the horrible sht he did and he feels really bad about it.” LIKE WTF. I DONT CARE IF HE FEELS BAD ABOUT IT NOW WHEN HE WAS CAPABLE OF DOING THAT SHT IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEN HE HAS THE GALL TO SAY THAT “the current me didn’t do that to you,” LIKE THATS GONNA FIX ALL THE MENTAL TRAUMA SHE WENT THROUGH CAUSE OF HIM. IT’S THE MOST ANNOYING SHT EVER, AND IF HE TRULY CARED ABOUT HER, HE WOULD’VE JUST LEFT HER ALONE IN HER NEW LIFE, LIKE SHE WANTED. SHE PROBABLY DOESN’T EVEN WANT TO ENTER THE PALACE WITH ALL THE SCHEMES AND SHT. BUT NO, THAT SELFISH PRICK ONLY THONKS ABOUT HIMSELF BEFORE OTHERS. I WISH THERE WAS LIKE A COMPETANT ML THAT WOULD END UP BASICALLY OVERTHROWING THE ROYAL FAMILY OR SOMETHINH, CAUSE THAT WOULD’VE BEEN A LOT FUNNER TO READ THAN THAT DOGSHIT.
Istg if the ml isnt the knight im gonna commit eyeballs sweating
