There’s rarely non paled protagonists in these stories. One of the few times there is he’s a slave? It just comes off as racist.

?? ive seen plenty! across different genres and tropes. ive also read multiple slavexmaster tropes. half of it is interacial and the fair skinned one is the slave. ive never read anyone crying racism in there ┐( ˘_˘)┌
im calling this whole thing BS until i find a similar manga with fair skinned slave and someone comments there that its racist.

and for the record, thats one well treated slave. the author absolutely loved Anise thats for sure

Me personally i think any slave x slave master is unappealing but yea.

That's cherry picking. I have come across way too many books here about slavery, darker skinned slaves are a vast MINORITY. You never see this type of outrage in those other mangas when they're lighter skinned, even enters the point of even fetishizing the poor man. Ofc it's because, its a trend to defend the marginalized communities that's NON existent here. Too many kids nowadays parroting the word the adults use, just to feel intellectual and make themselves make feel like there are adding onto a cost. It's fake outrage

Would do you mean by Non existent here?? I mean people from all over are on this website so I feel like thats a weird thing to say. And the amount of stories thats have darker skinned slaves compared to pale skinned isn’t really relevant here tbh. How does it make this story less racist , that is what people are asking.

if you're talking about racism in the story, its the fact that the slave is from the fire kingdom. the ice kingdom is racist against the fire kingdom, whose people posesses fire element. not because he is dark skinned. everyone in the comments are outraged about the wrong thing

I think what you missing here, is the fact that the author is of this world, the same as ours, has lived, seen and learnt of history as people, of people as a whole, specifically of black peope, they’d know something…and quite often some people knowingly or not, seem to portray darkskin people regardless of race, as the undesired, unfortunate, savage slaves etc, it implies a lot more than just slavery and master relationship, but also racism, emphasis on racism here… it’s not the first times we’ve seen shit like this, it’s at a point where we can’t just mindlessly read stuff like this because we come across it too often, and it’s always portrayed in the same way, you can’t just ignore this bitter aftertaste each time you take a bite the same way you can’t ignore what is implied each time you read stories that tread in this territory.

And I’m not saying stories like this shouldn’t be made, but the author has to be careful of what they’re intending to put into the story so that it’s received in a way where readers won’t have arguments such as these, because this isn’t simply just analysing a book, it’s showing the true colours of the author and also the readers too.

And what you’re basically admitting is that there is something wrong here, but you dismiss because “if it was a light skinned person”, what???, why are we talking hypotheticals here? You have a problem? Please speak up about how ur uncomfortable with certain themes, and why you feel that way.

Here we can clearly see, what type of relationship it is, the loopholes of this story and the weirdness of it…the dark skinned dude even refers himself as a slave, and we know in what way too, and he loses himself to his former oppressors, just become of a hug? Tf?? Somehow he’s able to withstand the fact that he’s serving a nation that turned on his people, somehow he forgets that his own people were oppressed too….umm what?

OMG NO

HELPPPP

He didn't kill her

the tf happened??

A small spoiler that doesn't give away the story is that the "novel" contents are to be taken with a grain of salt. There's lies mixed in, like the family killing her when learning she isn't their blood, is false. The Duke knew the entire time whose daughter she really was, I'm pretty sure the Duchess was aware as well to some point. There were mild hints here and there for that part.

oohh. now im more curious what the heck happened in their past life

There is not "past life" per se, this is all happening in the same "life" course. Treat the "novel" more so as a guideline prophecy of what may happen.

ooohhhh ok ok. thank you for that!

That's not true she has 2 past lifes. The first one in her actual world and the second one in the modern world right now she's on her 3rd life

someone pls give the actual spoiler so we can end this

In her first life she dies, her mom then send her to korea where she also died and come back into the world of her first life this time. She is the savior so she needs to live and fight the evil god. Her mom can see the future so she made some arrangements so that she doesn't die and Ian is helping in protecting her since he also remember the first life

The book is a guide but not everything is accurate like the fact that the duke killed her because she wasn't his child. Not only didn't they duke killed her but he also knows that she is not his child, since he knows her real father.

oh ok! got it. thank heavens for you guys

It was so great I had to read it all out loud haha

naah she doesn’t deserve it, she was a b*tch from the start

Noooooo !!! Don't ruin the police guy.. He is a nice man.. He deserves a nice girl..

The only way to make villainess have her own story i would read, is killing her off and putting some nice soul in body of this wicked woman.

hear me out: shes obviously abused by her own father. the real culprit is the dad. Her actions are no doubt inexcusable but her past leaves space for some compassion
"Marrying him is the reason i exist" sounds tragic dont you guys think?
shes also pretty, i hope she dies and realizes how pitiful she is on her deathbed

What a great explanation
