You can't expect an abused peasant with no education of the world to be a smart girlboss. She doesn't have an education like y'all, she was raised in a village under a cruel man who sold her to a cruel noble girl. Women stuck in abusive places will gravitate naturally towards people who are nicer to them in that shitty environment and naively trust them
Y'all want authentic characters with depth but the moment she isn't a girlboss y'all complain about her being stupid
i hate it when stories have to add unnecessary plot lines to keep the story going. like this was clearly so confession coded but no the show needs two seasons so ofc the season ends in a fight
i swear to god the moment y'all see one moody, dark haired guy you switch up so fast. the last few chapters they haven't been interacting as much and everyone is immediately like "they have no chemistry" when they were literally doing so much cute shit before. same people to complain if the "sunshine and clearly better second ml" isn't chosen
i was gonna say this. some of them have to have serious irl issues to be switching up this fast
frrrr like? this is the reason why authors hesitate to write other mls cuz people won't read anything but that stereotype
Personally I’m not switching up, I’ve never like the ml from the beginning. I thought it was a cute friendship manga that’s it. Allow people to have their own opinions.
never stopped people from having them and if you really like the emo, distant and the guy that feels like a ticking time bomb, that's on you. I prefer the ml who is earnest in both his friendship and liking for her, who is rooting for her at the end of the day
Brother, this was in July why are you responding now Lmaoo, the conversation passed so I ain’t even gonna bother responding to whatever you said have a good night

Love shuttle and dear Benjamin
omfg I fucking love it when the tops have THAT expression on their face so hot sjksjsk
bro is gonna end up with internal injuries at this rate rip
I'm glad people are not willing to forgive cárcel for sleeping around (indirectly cheating on his to be wife) but y'all are targetting the wrong man.
it would be wrong if he had continued to do this, or if he hadn't apologised or felt bad for his past actions. he literally actually not only apologises, but also completely flips his behaviour around and is fully committed and only has eyes for Ines.
not to forget INES WANTED HIM TO CHEAT. she manipulated the man into making him want to cheat by seeming like a cold, emotionless wife who will not respond to his urges or make him feel fulfilled in her life.
even Ines has come so far. from wanting to divorce Cárcel to genuinely wanting a kid with him. like??? if you aren't gonna get the depth of the story don't go harping on about the characters you don't understand the complexity of.
media literacy is dead jesus
I honestly don’t care about what he did, it’s not cheating to me because he never consented to the engagement nor did they mutually establish a relationship, it was mainly one sided by Ines for her plan. Now if he had slept around while married and their love was blossoming, I’d be upset.
exactly.
I will always defend Carcel’s right to live as he saw fit. The only time I would condemn him sleeping with another person is if he was married. For me the childhood engagement is a promise between the families. Marriage is a promise the couple makes before God as adults as Carcel points out to Ines in the early chapters of the novel.
Also, Carcel didn’t even get any benefit from the engagement period. Oscar at least had a period of courtship where Ines and ahim did many things together and went many places together. Carcel got absolutely nothing. Also….spoiler
In the hidden timeline, Ines and Carcel courted for 10 years. They visited each other’s homes and went to banquets together and danced together and spent time together. Carcel used to even ask his father advice as a little boy on how to win his father-in-law over. His father gave him good advice.
Good words: A promise between families. Not between the ones getting married. It was one sided. And an arranged promise makes since, especially during their time.
EXACTLY. People are like cheating this cheating that. At that time they didnt even have a mutual relationship i dont even consider that cheating. Since Ines also wanted this, ok with this. I just hate how people coming after him bcz of this "cheating" thing. After marriage he stayed loyal to the end he is one of the biggest simp for his wife.
They always expect a ML to be a pure virgin totally a simp and only having eyes for FL. Like…it’s weird as hell. Some may also be projecting from their life.
hidden timeline??
exactly like?? and the worst part is there's some genuinely trash ML that people will happily read and write them off as "dark characters" and when there's a genuine green flag, they will trash him like pick the right battles
Yes. It will be revealed in this arc.
definitely projecting. it's this bizarre thing, really, to expect comic book characters to have your morals and values and be your perfect man or something. it's very much giving parasocial k-idol relationships
looking forward to it
Foul. “Paradoxical K-idol relationship.”
Def them!
i couldnt explain this better istg.
Exactly what I think.
for those who are confused:
he basically says, in the first part of the chapter that he got close to Courtney (got in her good graces) and made her open her boundaries bit by bit until she was comfortable enough to bite the bait (embrace her dominant nature for the first time)
it doesn't have to imply that he's manipulating her but he's not exactly innocent either. but because he's drawn in such a way that people are assuming he's that was ig
It's not really that part that I'm talking about. Just the way he's going about all of this always seems like he's pushing her too much but idk what would be the right amount
FINALLY LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO
