Bros, I mean this respectfully, but does anyone have shit on Douglas????
Marshally trusts him the most, they understand each other the most, he's the one who's protected her the best and in general, they have the most chemistry together. His design, his personality, even his story are the most unique of them all.
The "Older brother" stuff? Even the other characters call it out for what it is, a pretense so they can be close to each other without repercussions. I am 80% convinced they already love each other, but won't get together, because of stupid shit like him having a kid (who already loves Marsha!!!).
I swear this is pissing me off so bad, I never had second-male-lead syndrome before. Is this what you've all been dealing with all this time??????? It's hellish.
Reiner is perfectly average male lead, there is nothing wrong with him, which makes him kind of dull when DOUGLAS IS RIGHT THERE!!!!!
Noah is the same, I dig his vibe, but he's been barely present and he just seems like a cuter Reiner clone.
The boss thief guy? I'll admit he's interesting, but like Marsha, I believe that willingly letting rape happen under your watch is just as bad as commiting it.
Literally no one has anything on him. Even the author seems to be pushing them together. But I know. I recognize the genre conventions. I understand that male leads aren't permitted interesting character designs. They will love each other completely and they'll never get together because of stupid plot bullshit. We're forever doomed to twinks with bangs.
WINTEEEEER!!!! I ALWAYS KNEW YOUR CHARM WINTER!!! THAT AMONG THE MALE LEADS, YOU'RE MOST DEDICATED TO BEING A GOOD PERSON!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHGGHHHHHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HE'S NOT BORING!!! HE JUST HAD MORAL OBLIGATIONS OUTSIDE OF PENELOPE!!!! AND EVEN THEN!!!! And even then.....!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN ETERNAL LOVE AAAAAARGGGHHGGAGAGAHAHAHAHHAHAGAGAÁAAAAAAAA
Anyway I do think that "passionate love"isn't the complete truth there, I mean he was pretty passionate even at 0%. Maybe true love, or dedicated love??
I feel like acting like this is the FL falling in love suddenly is really misinterpreting the situation...It's not that she sees him in a romantic light now, she had a panic attack and didn't even recognize him. It didn't come out of nowhere, her cracking under the weight of her suppressed memories has been brought up before. She didn't break down because he was a bit mean her, but because of a communication breakdown in a high-stress situation. Like it's obvious she was brought back to a moment where her words were ignored and she got hurt because of it.
Hot take, this makes her a stronger character, not a weaker one. A character who girl-bosses around the place all the time, with no vulnerabilities whatsoever isn't a strong one, it's just another two dimensional character. She isn't this cry-baby princess now, she just had a traumatic flashback and reacted like a person.
Also like... she's kind of crazy. That's an important part of her character. She doesn't act crazy to be mischievous, she genuinely understands the world a bit differently. That doesn't mean she's not smart, or not professional, but that she isn't being weird around the duke to fuck with him, she's just communicating in the clearest way possible to get. Idk, you don't get her like I do










I'm. fucking confused. It pisses me off, since this manhwa clearly has a lot of potential, but the translation is so nonsensical I have no idea what's going on.
Is prince Edward on good terms with Jeffrey or not???? Last we saw them together, he was begging him not to abandon him. Now it looks like they haven't seen each other for years??? Is Jeffrey being blamed for madam Rose's death?? Why??? Is this the opinion of the general public, or does Edward think that too??? Is Jeffrey scheming something or is he just waiting to die??
There aren't that many Isekai BLs, you'd think translation teams would be tearing each other apart to get to this. I can see that there is plot happening, but if it's not terribly translated, then it's just!!! Blurry!!
