Why did Theodore betray her?? I read this a while ago and I can't remember if we ever find out but i don't want to reread if we don't
Because I was gonna die because of the curse so he made it has he betrayed her to break ties with her
This is low-key really dumb it had the complete opposite effect
I’ve just binged this. The reason is he was going to die from the curse but couldn’t give her the throne because of the patriarchal system. Instead, he made himself the villain and her the hero so she could take the throne after his death. It was a selfish move because she never desired the throne.
Okay I get it now ! He could have just told her this lmao
He did, she knew everything and played along because thats what he wanted.
But it was rlly painfull for her to kill the man she loved, that's why she can't forgive him.
Oh okayyyy thanks for telling me I was really confused lmao
Don't read this. It has a shitty ending and it's VERY obvious that it was written by a man. Everything is so fucking sad and after finishing it I'm just so fucking angry. Also the demon king is a bitch I can't believe anyone wants the Fl to end up with him. Okay he is sad but he just ends up being incredibly self centered, never helped her out because he never cared to find out about her. The only satisfying outcome would've been for her to return to her original world with no memories and meet her friends again there because the world of this manga is just rotten to the fucking core. This manga is just women suffering by the hands of men and if it could be argued that it is a critic of society or whatever it just dips WAY too much in "the barely disguised fetish of the author" imo. I'm so mad and sad I wish I never read this
where JK Haru really nukes its own credibility from orbit is when it gives Chiba a cheat skill—which, if you were following the book’s own logic, should be some big statement about male privilege. If only men get cheat skills, then aha! We have exposed the unfairness of power fantasies! Right?
Except—oh wait—Haru gets an even better one.
Congratulations, book. You played yourself.
By giving Haru a cheat skill that’s objectively more powerful than Chiba’s, the book accidentally disproves its own central premise. If the world is built so that men always get unfair advantages, then why the hell does Haru completely outclass Chiba in power? It’s like writing a hit piece about how billionaires are unfairly privileged, but then revealing in the same article that Jeff Bezos has to beg on the street while some random intern gets a free mansion.
Either the book is too incompetent to notice this contradiction, or it assumes its audience is too brain-dead to think critically about it. Either way, that’s some spectacularly bad writing.
At the end of the day, JK Haru wants to be a scathing deconstruction but ends up being an accidental self-own. It tries to scream about how male power fantasies require sexism while proving the exact opposite, and it tries to highlight male privilege while giving its female protagonist even more power than the guy it’s trying to vilify. The only thing JK Haru succeeds at is proving that its author didn’t think this through at all.
Yes but also the narrative that women can only become powerful through sex in this world is kinda the message in this and it bothers me especially since she is SO YOUNG . Haru's power is the most op but it's also the only one that requires sex( i think) so sex= power and it's weird especially with the whole gang rape situations (turning a gang rape situation upside down by saying that now she has more power so actually maybe it wasn't to bad is so awful like girly has been GANG RAPED wtf)
Because the book could've still made a statement by showing that even with better powers and capabilities , society makes it that women can't access the opportunities that goes with them. But instead it went into a weird sexual fantasy because it was never ABOUT sexism, it was always about putting a girl in a position where she has no choice but to prostitute herself but making it so that she has powers doing it so "it's not as bad because she wants to be powerful". It's so damn stupid and I don't think it's trying anything at all except to disguise it's obvious porn focus
Girl wtf are you on about no one is asking you to die chill tf out
