*spoilers*
I see a lot of people angry about the spoilers, all saying that the ending goes against her saying she'll "change her destiny", but that isn't really the case? She DID change her destiny, she completely changed the prince's view of her and FINALLY got him, the one she's loved for so long, to see how much effort she's put into him and her life. She made friends, she stayed close with her father AND she pursued knighthood, an entirely new experience when she'd never even held a sword. She literally changed everything about herself.
There are also people that are irritated she didn't end up with anyone but the prince, but the prince was who she loved all along. She met the other two through her new actions, she then proceeded to become *friends* with them, it's pretty explicitly shown she doesn't look at then romantically, she can't even imagine THEM looking at HER romantically. She denies that they're jealous and fighting over her. Meanwhile she has a talk with herself in her head about how she might still love the prince and is worried she might mistakenly devote her life to him again when she caters to his tastes at her family's estate without thinking about it. The two were plot devices, they were there to show the prince that she can have friends, that she isn't cold. They were made to fall in love with her, probably originally to trick us into thinking she might end up with someone else, but later for our entertainment and maybe later in the story they'll be used to make the prince jealous.
Unpopular af opinion, but i don't think the prince deserves the hate he's getting? Not the current prince anyways. Past prince was scum. It's not the same prince though. She said herself that the prince used to treat her like he does now, not as bad as he does in the future, but something eventually happens that makes him hate her. There has been a lot of foreshadowing that he ended up hating her in the last timeline because of what she'd said about her mother when asked about her. The things that are happening in this timeline are changing his misconceptions about her, he'd thought she was deceitful like the rest of the nobles around him till he recently remembered how both her mother and Tia had never been like that even since they were both kids. He only remembered this because her actions in this timeline differed. In the last timeline she never had any friends, she wasn't on good terms with her father and she didn't seem to care about her mother. Over the course of years all the prince saw was her straight face as she did her duties, he never saw emotion from her like he has now. His impression of her became that she's a cold, heartless woman only focusing on being a royal. He still had this misunderstanding in the last timeline, it's why he didn't believe she had any good intentions in anything she did at the time that all that shit went down. He thought she wanted to be empress and cared about nothing else. During this time, Tia was learning about him to get him to look her way, doing small things for him, but because he had those preconceptions he took this as brown nosing, remember how he asked why she was doing all this before having sex with her to supposedly give her what she wants? He thought she was just brown nosing, he didn't realize her feelings, she never told him and even if she had it was too late by then. She took the opportunity to sleep with him as another effort to make him look her way, but this only "confirmed" his suspicions even more. In this timeline he's seen her many expressions with the people she cares about, this is a complete 180 on the impression he had in the past. It's like, 95% of what made him hate her is gone, now all that's left is the baggage surrounding Jeremia and the two of them. Honestly, it's been pretty explicitly shown that Tia just views Allen and Sein as friends, she still loves the prince (she all but says this while worrying that she's going to follow the same path as her last life on accident, devoting her life to him), she's just terrified of him because of the trauma from her past life. Once the baggage between them is resolved, I'd like for them to be together because it's what SHE wants and i feel like she's been through enough that she deserves whatever she wants. If things change and she actually falls for one of the other two, fine, though Allen is a creep (a sweet creep to her) as long as he treats her right it's whatever. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Let me start with that this was so good, cant wait for more. Now, onto the thoughts.
John has become a psychopath, he won't listen to anyone anymore and doubts everyone's intentions. Seems like Sera is the only one he cares about and trusts now. Besides his dad, of course. Don't get me wrong, i understand perfectly that it is entirely the royals' and high tiers' fault, it's just become blindingly obvious that he's too far gone right now. I hope Sera helps restore his faith in humanity enough for him to even give Arlo, Isen and Blyke a chance, because they really have changed. Remi didn't deserve to be treated like the assholes from the start, he just didn't know that because he refuses to look anymore. I also think people aren't focusing enough on Kean (the red head cop guy) either, a lot of John's psychological issues clearly come from that "correctional" treatment. Part of me feels John deserved it, because he DID hurt innocent people at his last school (the green haired girl only betrayed him because he became cruel and his blond friend WAS actually loyal to him. The blond guy tried to warn him about the green haired girl because the ambush didn't sit right with him despite John's behavior and he was rewarded with getting his ass beat and mistrust from John. Though John only became a tyrant at his last school because he was a late bloomer, the cop implied John was being abused there too and when his powers awoke he got high on revenge), but i can't approve of the purposefully induced psychological trauma when i know he really did it to reign John in. To make him completely lose faith in himself and his powers. This trauma is why he doesn't use his powers till he snaps, hell, it's WHY he snaps at all (well, that and also that shitty mentality the higher tiers have towards lower tiers obviously). He just bottles all the abuse he has to take for not using his powers until he explodes. It's also why he's afraid for Sera to know, he's afraid she'll leave him, which is literally because of the incident with the green haired girl that the cop played in his head over and over and over again till his guilt destroyed him. I want him to kick the cop's ass, if I'm honest. It's really shitty how Arlo betrayed him too, that was the last straw for his trust... they looked like they were getting along too... well, at least he's changed now, hopefully John sees that soon. Can't wait for more, though I'm anxious about his relationship with Sera now that she thinks everything was a lie when it wasn't. Just... everything after she came back from suspension... I'm kinda glad she's going to distance herself, as long as it's just temporary, because i don't feel like I'll be able to forgive John's brutality without a little punishment and her anger is the only thing that will do that right now. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Treat yourself to this great, fleshed-out story. Honestly a masterpiece. Okay, OBVIOUSLY we all love Will, Gus, Blood and Mary, but does anyone else already love Menel? He's just so well-written and such a big presence in the party and story. I loved the casual show of devotion the author took in making him glare at the king. And Will is starting a faction to assist the scattered villages afflicted by demons? Hell yes. Such a power move. Can't wait to see their interactions with other settlements, their party and organization grow and Gracefeel faith grow. Honestly so looking forward to more, my only regret in reading this is seriously that i can't currently read more.

He's looking at both the god of pain and us. :^D










I feel like that's a mistranslation. That's the female usage of that name, it's supposed to be Dominic. Dominique sounds like [dom-in-eek], Dominic sounds like [dom-in-ick].
Actually Dominique is both male and female. Men are called Dominique just like women. It's like how Ashely is male and female as well as Kris/Chris, Christian.....and so forth. So I don't think that's mistranslated.
You could literally show me an official source saying it's gender neutral and I'd disagree.
Fair enough, to each his own history be damned.
I could show you a source that states that Dominique is a male and french name and that Dominic is a male and Latin name they are two different nationalities and yet both can used as male or female names. But why bother? You obviously wish to hold on your idea of what names should be male or female so stating that you are complaining about two totally different make names would be pointless on my part.
Yes, this^ is right. Idc about history or whatever, Dominique is obviously a female name. What's more, we're talking about a translation, so unless the character is french, implying intentional use of "Dominique" by the author, it's safe to assume the translators just translated it how they thought it's spelled. Hence me saying what i said. I also didn't say "Dominique" or "Dominic" are the same nationality, i just recommended Dominic because it sounds more masculine and sounds similar and thought maybe that's what they were looking at and trying to translate.
Regardless of how they were originally used or where they originated from, "Dominic" and "Dominique" would be the male/female uses NOW. Currently.
But they aren't. Dominique is still a male or female name even in this day and age. So you're saying that you are right and every male named Dominique is named wrong because you think it's a female name. What right do you have to say that. As far as the translation goes, there is a difference between Dominic and Dominique. If they are spelling it that way it's probably how the version they are translating from meant it to be. Regardless the point is moot as it's not even a Japanese name so they may not be translating from a Japanese raw. So who are you to tell them they have translated it right or wrong? How about you find a raw of the manga and translate it your damn self then you can say for sure if they spelled the name wrong. Until then stop acting like you have the right to decide if a name is male or female when CURRENT times show it to be both. In THIS day and age names are more unisex than they used to be. And history aside you just said that a name commonly used in two different languages (one of which is used for both makes and females) is only female. That's like saying there are no men named Michelle, or Laurie, or practically hundreds other other names originating from other cultures have no bases because once used in the Americas for one particular sex it has to stay that way. What a pretentious and idiotic bullshit notion.
So at the risk of repeating myself to someone who obviously doesn't get the point, IT IS PROBABLY NOT A MISTRANSLATION.
"Probably"? So it's just your opinion? Then why are you arguing with me?
Me saying Dominique is a female name in no ways says that there are no males named Dominique or that they're named wrong. I'm talking about the translation, not names. Names can be spelled however people want, so it wouldn't be incorrect to name your son Dominique as they could just be wanting to add a flair to the spelling or something, but it would be a female name in the spelling. That shit about "used in America" applies to you to, you're denying me saying it's female based on American use based on other places. Guess what, people tend to base their speech where they're from.
Actually I was raised in a multi-cultural family of French, Such, British, and Japanese, and I have a major in history and lanquistics. Yes it's my opinion that the name is not spelled wrong, but it's also YOUR opinion that it's spelled wrong.
Yes, people tend to base their speech where they live, but you live a country that literally has people from every country living in it and your telling me that a particular spelling of a name makes it female when it doesn't. That spelling started out as a male name and spelling. It has only recently be been used for females in the last couple of decades so honestly, personal opinion or not, you are actually wrong in saying the spelling is female because it's not. And saying that Dominic is a male version of that name is also incorrect.
For heaven's sakes crack open a book. I'm not saying that it's wrong to have an opinion, but when you state it as if it's a truth you should at least be prepared to have someone that will have a different view or may actually have done their research. Just stubbornly stating that you're right, rather than actually proving just how you are right, is like a child insisting unicorns are real with no proof.
So, essentially every point I've made is that your reasoning for Dominique being a female spelling isn't based on anything but your personal opinion, not actual proof. Which again just proves that the translator may not have mistranslated the raws of the manga. And I will state YET AGAIN that we DO NOT KNOW if the translation was taken from a Japanese raw or another language, so neither of us can say if it was or wasn't mistranslated. Unless you actually ask the translator or you have the raws they used you can't really say anymore than I can if it's right or wrong.
"So, essentially every point I've made is that your reasoning for Dominique being a female spelling isn't based on anything but your personal opinion, not actual proof", and you're mad because of that? Need i remind you i said "you could literally show me an official source saying it's gender neutral and I'd disagree"? Yes, im arguing opinion and, to me, the name Dominique is so clearly female spelling and pronunciation that idc what you say or bring forward and i told you that, to which you proceeded to get butthurt that i disagreed. And again, HERE WHERE I AM, NO ONE normally names their son Dominique. Your history argument is kinda pointless to me when the origins aren't here, WHERE I AM, and aren't relevant to current use HERE.
I love how you acknowledge that "Dominique" has switched to female within the last few decades, but also argue its still male like the change wasn't for a reason and "decades" isn't long enough for the usage to have changed. Also, I'm sure it'd be easy to find out what language the raws are in, but you're ignoring that the character isn't shown to be french so...
You're giving me a headache. Can you really be this stupid? Honestly I can't stand people who hold onto their ignorance like a badge. Sadly people like you are populating this planet more and more every day. So I'm going to be the better person and end this pointless conversation.
Sure, bye. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
You should've "been the better person" and shut up earlier. You could've left this at your 1st reply, but you did a 180 from that peaceful reply and replied again to argue and then continued to argue like a retard despite my warning.
My own name is a girls name in Scandinavia. However, Americans always think I'm a guy when they see my name and are usually hard to convince otherwise -.-
What is your name?
Randi
Anything ending in "i", in America, usually sounds female, not sure why anyone would argue that it sounds male. Like, Jessi is unisex, but spelled with "i" instead of "y" would make me think female.
Just giving my two cents, but in Germany, where I live, the name Dominique is considered gender neutral, so you need to have a gender specific second name to clarify the gender of the person with the name spelled this way. And, btw, it's not in every country where you can spell the name how you like to.
Okay
My cousin name is Dominique and she is French, Dominique can be use for both genders, there are a lot of men named Dominique, in fact, we almost don't know people called Dominic!!!
Also, the song Dominique is about a male priest named Dominique!!! Dominique doesn't have gender while Dominic it is gendered!!!
Okay
I feel sorry for you sis/bro but trying to speak to closed-minded people as if they’re reasonable is like talking to a wall. I’ve met some boomers who’re more open-minded, but op seems like someone who would insist that the Earth is flat and that vaccine should are the devil if they were raised that way, even if they get slapped by logic. You tried.

Fixed a typo.
That's really mean, you're a horrible person.
Thank you for the red herring but I won’t spend time arguing with a wall. I’m leaving your pointless conversation.
Yeah you are, leave immediately. Don't even respond to this.
Even Wikipedia says it is unisex AND in people there are many men named Dominique!!!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominique_(name)
That's interesting, good job.
And another ignorant American. Name endings are different in every country, just cose you were raised to think that every name ending in i is female doesn’t mean it’s like that all over the world; in Poland, every girl name ends with a, but you don’t see me pointing that out to boys with names ending in a, cose I respect that every culture is different. You should have stated your opinion and left it at that rather than disrespecting/ arguing with people who tried to correct your obviously biased opinions and in doing so education you about the world outside of your biased opinions.
"Another ignorant american"- oh, you're prejudiced.
Cause, not cose, short for because*
Educate, not educating you*
I’m not prejudiced; I said that because that’s the impression you are creating of yourself. A stereotypical, misinformed, ignorant American. “Therefore educating you” is the correct form. How funny that as someone whose first language is English, you don’t even know it well enough to write in it.
And stop being a bitch, because that is how you are acting. Like a good old bitch.
I meant educating, not education you*, which is what you said.
