True Blue's Topics (218)

The man is an actor.

If only Raon were there to give him the deadpan look before calling him out.

Broke millionaire mentality. We love it. Cale raising him to be just like himself.

I never understood how being an illegitimate child made a person a half-blood. That term comes up quite often in this genre. He is their half brother/sibling , but it's not like he has less of their father's blood. I have also seen stories where all of the kids are born to different mothers/wives, yet they still call the illegitimate children half bloods. It doesn't matter if their mothers (or fathers in certain stories) are nobles, illegitimate children still get called half bloods. I'm confused. Half as opposed to what? Pure? Blue? Most of the illegitimate children in this genre still have heir and successor rights. The exact same rights as their legitimate-born siblings. What do people mean when they say the illegitimate children need to be shown their place? The heir is being chosen by the father based on ability and capability. Everyone has to prove themselves. Also, shouldn't the fathers be offended? The children that they decided to have get called half bloods and dirty blood, yet the noble and proud fathers stay silent and think of it as a test? Be foreal.

Maybe half blood is the closest translated equivalent in English.

You mean to tell me that while the mom doted on the MC and the dad doted on the adopted daughter, they both neglected their eldest son from the moment he was born! He didn't see his family for the first several years of his life, yet the mom is surprised that he "still blames them after all these years." They didnt even realize they neglected him until he was already grown! This just became another story where the parent we should root for is neglectful to their other kid(s). I see why the family dynamic is messed, and why the kids don't feel close to each other or their parents.

At this point, Ed gonna have to marry all three or be single forever to avoid the world ending. They not letting him go.

I still prefer Lucy being a little sister though.

I kinda have a hard time sympathizing with the MC. This may be insensitive, but she treats and carries herself like she believes she is the most unfortunate person in the room. A prime example of this can be seen when we are learning the back story of the ML. He was literally physically and emotionally abused by his father since birth, traumatized by being sent to fight in a war at young age, further traumatized by seeing all of his friends die, pushed off a cliff by his brother, and stigmatized by the entire kingdom all his life. The MC actually tries to compare what she went through to his trauma! I don't mean to diminish her experience, but most of her heartache came from trying to date all the men she knew the ogfl dated in the game. Was there really no one else? It seems the bracelet only works on the men the ogfl dated in the game which is why the ML seems to be unaffected.

While it is not hard to see why the MC is sad, the sympathy I am supposed to feel naturally for her feels forced on me. Like the author is screaming pity her pity her. During the scene where the wolf tells her she has been through a lot, I could only think that compared to the main characters in other stories, the ML in this story, and the commoners in any story (keep in mind kids are being kidnapped for experiments in this story), she has lived a pretty decent life. She has wealth, status, and loving parents. If she went to her parents for ideas and used her 21st century knowledge, I am sure she could have turned some of the rumors around.

The MC can also be a little insensitive at times. She clearly hurt the ML and his brother's feelings. I believe this is why the ML said no to marrying her that day. Although she had some points when it came to status being a barrier, she casually degraded and ridiculed the ML's brother for wanted to stop the rumors. If it wasn't for some weird grand plan to keep the MC by his side, I would have understood why the ML's brother left.

What's up with MC's letting really bad characters go without any repercussions for their evil deeds? These characters kill thousands if not million and get away scotch free because the MC feels a little bad for them. The princess tortured and killed so many innocent people. Imagine how many homes were broken and how many families couldn't bury let alone say goodbye to their loved ones because of her. The dead couldn't rest in peace. Households probably lost their primary providers. In the past, Roel lost everything even his sister because of her. But, because her father hurt her mom, she gets a pass while thousands of commoners, who had nothing to do with her family's internal conflict, die without justice. She is just as bad as her father, especially because she had no remorse. She would not have made a good empress in my opinion.

Yay it's back. I love this story. I know some people don't like the emperor because they think he is not doing anything, but I like him. He is literally providing the resources and play ground for Lass to get her revenge. He also knows from experience that Lass wants the pleasure of getting revenge herself, so he is taking a step back. Lass has also stated that she wants to do certain things herself. If she were in another empire or kingdom, I don't think a typical ruler would have allowed her to do half the things she has done or given her so much power. I like their dynamic. He was also the only person to truely recognize and offer help to her in her past life despite being an enemy. More than anyone and before anyone, he saw her as a potential equal. That's part of the chemistry.

It's kinda funny because I have read stories where people complained about the FL overly relying on the ML to complete what was supposed to be her revenge. In this story, however, some people are dissatisfied with the ML for the opposite reason. To me, this story stands out from other stories.

This may be an unpopular opinion. I am not that far into the story, but, from what I have read so far, the only true trash in this story seems to be the emperess's father. The emperor ignores, overly suspects, and talks bad to the empress. He is a bad husband to her without question, but I can't see many people doing things different if they were to take his place. In fact, if this story was retold from the perspective of the emperor with little background on the empress revealed until later, most people would understand why he treats her like an enemy rather than a wife. Does this make it right, absolutely not, but it makes the emperor realistic and reasonable. The man who destroyed my life, kidnapped me, and killed members of my family is making me marry his daughter against my will. The same daughter who publicly announced that she would discipline me. Yeah, there would be no princess/queen treatment. This makes things very unfortunate for the empress who can't directly reveal what is truely going on. I hope they can work things out or peacefully go their separate ways. They are both victims in a way. Revenge against anyone besides the empress's father seems pointless.

I feel so bad for the children who thought they were being adopted. I know that Leo is in shock and wants to her everything for Connie, but I hope that she didn't just brush off everything he said. I hope she said some comforting words before parting. It must have been hard for him to talk about what happened him. Those kids at the orphanage have been though a lot. I hope they get the help they did.
