What an absolute terrible friend tho. Oscar falls down a cliff, loses his memory, and the first thing he thinks is “oh yes, perfect, allow me to manipulate you” like tf no get this man a doctor, a therapist, and then back up whacko
So she had multiple sports cars but could only watch mukbang videos. Ok.
It may be because she couldn't risk to have a personal cook and be poisoned so she cooked herself but suck at it ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Maybe there weren't enough food for everyone considering where she came from?
Imma believe you two and hope it’s not something like her just choosing Chanel over proper nutrition
no seeing her reaction when she saw the foods, i really think that it was the lack of food
Yeah... lack of food makes more sense...
Ahaha everybody really thinking hard here. Hmmm if not author didn’t think much, but maybe we’ll get more answers the further the story goes? If not miss girly really should’ve used some of that money for an agricultural research fund or something. But that’s just my sarcasm as a reader~
It said not enough food due to famine so that may be the reason she couldn't have it even though she had enough money to afford it
What if he answered and then a man in the back was like, “Wonwo, who are you talking to?” Sksksjskf I’d cry laugh.
So I really can’t decide if I like her or not. In some aspects I like her slow redemption arc and coming to terms with her past. On another I really wish she would remember most of it hasn’t happened yet, she has time, and she’s clearly taking a different path which already says good things about her character. But regardless, like the captain said, there’s nothing wrong with being a swordsman. It’s a thin line and it’s what you do with that title. I want her to own who she is essentially.
I know a lot of people as readers walk with ideas and preferences towards strong morality, but society is always going to need people who do the dirty work. Metaphorically and literally. I’m not saying she should mindlessly kill, but she was clearly taking orders from her superiors and being taken advantage of. She may have held the sword, but it was someone else forcing her hand and ordering that death. You could say “well she could have walked away” but I really don’t see that happening realistically. She was already an “official” black knight, broken and scared, who was wallowing in debt. Who was she to question the knight captain? To defy him? The only person who ever accepted her, even if it was only an act of manipulation and isolation?Her friends were slowly dying, and you can blame it on her, but they chose their own paths and she can’t even help herself, let alone someone else. She had no one to turn to. Especially with her reputation gaining more and more negative fame. Where would she go? What would she do after that? She knew nothing else. Walking away would most likely mean her own death, if not physically, then mentally. She was quite literally lost.
I think what I’m trying to say is, while I personally would prefer her to be more mentally grounded and strong, I don’t think she deserves all the hate she’s getting. Instead of hating someone who is broken and lost, we should be hating the people that quite literally made her “The Butcher”. They are the real criminals.
Well yes, I think you’re right. I haven’t noticed all this hate though. Probably because I haven’t read any other comments lol.
But one place you’re wrong is that sort of shot definitely causes ptsd, it’s like war veterans I guess. They were doing their duty and the fear and horrors of it stays with you, even when you’ve gone home and know you’re safe now. Obviously the situation is difficult but she’s still got ptsd. If she could just tell herself “it ain’t be what it has been” and then get over it then she wouldn’t be very human.
Yes, I understand. That’s why I said I like that she’s coming to terms with her past. I just personally like characters who are more decisive, especially if they’re someone who holds a sword, gun, wand, whatever. Because the weight of the weapon is heavy and that’s what we’re seeing now. She is having that internal struggle. Since she chose to hold the sword again, I want her to hold it confidently, but she is emotionally swayed even with it in her hands. But no one can be mentally strong 100% of the time. Her PTSD is grounded and it will be a lifelong battle. I simply just don’t want her to be ashamed to be a knight or swordsman. That’s what I’m trying to convey. I feel like I’m not making much sense with this response, but I’m not saying she should wake up and be ok. As for the comments, I don’t know. I find a lot of readers, especially the young ones, are very “black and white”, that gray area is very unacceptable to them. I just find it a shame they choose to drop the story or hate on the MC when as you said, she is having that very human struggle. They will just say “there is no excuse” and walk away.
Anywaysss, thank you for joining me on this unnecessarily long TedTalk lol
Ok wow. Reading your comments make me see in a different perspective. Yup, I agree with you that she doesn't need to be ashamed of being a swordsman. I hope she's proud of herself. I didn't read other comments yet but looks like there are people hating on her characters and that's what surprise me. I like her honesty and she's not annoying at all but she can't erase her past tho. I can see her struggle and her character development (though, not that much yet). It's only 8 chapters so I can't say much but I think this story is good.
I agree too about her friends. Her friends indeed die but none of that related to her if I must say. All her friends has their own life and they choose that path. I personally think it's not her fault.
Another thing, the dirty work. I agree. Even the kind 4th prince need someone by his side and why do you think that is? So that the person can do dirty or behind the scene work for him in disguise of protecting him. If we see him in a bad perspective, he will definitely seems villain. I hope this makes sense and you get what I want to say. Anyway, I like you.
Thank you! It is always good to meet other open minded people. Your comment made perfect sense. You’re right, she should be proud. It is hard to become a knight or swordsman, and even harder to live with the weight. She took her trauma from her past life and used it as a turning point to question what it means to really hold a sword and walk a more righteous path. If anyone deserves to be a knight, it is the MC. I think for what we have so far story wise they’ve done very well expressing her struggles. I don’t necessarily think she is annoying either, nor do I blame her. The death of her friends was unfortunate, but realistically you cannot save everyone, and that’s another price of the position. She did what was essentially her duty, even if it was tainted scarlet red.
I really like that you brought up the 4th prince. People in power also have a price to pay, much like holding a sword. He is in position where he will have to make those nastier, and even heinous decisions often. He has a pretty and fancy title attached to him, but that doesn’t change what happens behind the scenes. Those are the people who tend to be the real villains, and even the so called occasional hero. This is true in real life, too. Which is what I wanted to convey when I brought up the dirty work. People who walk in the gray and struggle with morality are necessary in society. But I should stop here before I ooze out some weird spiritual lecture lol
Anyways, in my personal life I always keep the thinking, “you cannot judge or compare one’s pain”, and thus I would never hate someone for their struggle during self preservation. Even if it is spiraling and dirty, some people cannot see out of that pain, and quite frankly, can’t make it out. That’s what I want the people who hate the MC to think about. Thankfully now that she experienced what it means to be lost and was reborn she can find an exit with the Red Knights, although she will always struggle with her trauma. Which, in perspective, I think makes her one of the most responsible and reliable knights. She understands what it means to play with life.
This comment chain is like an essay each jeez.
But actually I’m very glad there’s reasonable people on this website because you guys are talking facts.
Ignoring what makes a character likeable, I think giving her this ptsd and this kind of reaction is sensible as an author, I only hope she learns to suppress it, because it wouldn’t do for her to have a break down every 3 chapters.
Ah you’re right! I was just thinking that… “why do my replies get longer and longer each time” lol but I guess I ramble, I’m sorry. Yes, I think she’s very human and I’m looking forward to the future development. I’m sure in the later chapters she’ll retain a bit more of that strength I’m personally looking for. I’m sure the Red Knight Captain will be a big factor in her recovery too.
I would like to know what exactly “slime noises” sound like (▰˘◡˘▰)
for some reason i imagine as: kyu kyu~~
hahha >w<
I always imagined them just doing sounds like "blubb blub blub" or just like the sounds or bubbles but because blob opera happened I just kind of imagine doing weird opera sounds now lol
I imagine it sound like those squishy toy
