I rlly like this type of story.. well on the surface level sure. It's a nice story, where the bullied will come up and take revenge later on. But yk what sucks? At the end fo the day, the REAL owner of the mc's body rn is still dead.it rlly sucks that ones u realize the only reason the mc survived(even tho the OGbody did not), is cuz they r either act all cute to their abusers, OR they r smart. And for this story, it falls in the latter. I still can't comprehend the fact that this sweet sweet innocent child is dead cuz nobody in that goddamn house cared for her, except for the maid.
But hey, the mc is useful. She's smart, so ofc she's gonna attract someone's attention and "saves" her. For me, that's rlly shtty... Again, at the end of the day, Jeffrey still let the OGchild die. Nobody helped her. All I'm understanding is, if u aren't using your cuteness or genius brain, nobody will pay attention to you. After all, your just an ordinary who the gods hated. Not only did u lived such a horrible life, the gods in that world decided to let someone else reside in ur own body. Got disrespected TWICE.
This is the thing that these authors who uses this trope always miss. This is why I always enjoy it if the mc goes to someone who never met the OGchild in the first life.. cuz yk damn well if they met, the OGchild will be saved. Now that's GENUINE. This also applies to mls, imo I rlly hate it when the mc chooses the guy that's supposedly Inlove with another woman, aka the heroine of the story. I always eat up those stories with authors that care for good writing and not solely for money. This manhwa on the other hand.. I don't think it's hard to write a character that genuinely cares for the mc, and the mc doesn't have to be "special" to be accepted.
Anyways, that's all. Thanks for reading to my opinions!
Dang you nailed it ! I even mentioned inability comment how annoying it is that the grandpa is all doting because she showed potential or whatever...but everything you said about how sad and unfair for the og body owners in this trope I agree with... I actually struggle to find similar tropes that don't miss this point or at least address it...like a fl who's aware that these ppl would've let her die if she was deemed "worthless".
I would appreciate a recommendation
I'm trying to find some, but I fr believe I've never read a manhwa like that yet.. well, there is one manhwa that addresses that, but also not rlly?? LOL sorry ik I don't make sense, but the mc does realize the OGbaby def died of starvation and neglect, and she(mc) only survived cuz she went(literally crawled her way out, and plus she has magic) to find food. But that manhwa also sucks cuz at the end, the mc is like "boohoo, ik I sympathize with this body's original owner and knew what happened to her, but I came to love y'all!! Grandpa, uncle, ik u killed this baby by neglecting her, hence she died of starvation, but you guys are so nice to me!!!".... Disclaimer, she never said that obv, but she legit forgave them. As if she has the right to do so like U R A STRANGER. WHO AND WHY R U FORGIVING THEM FOR KILLING- NO TORTURING THAT BABY?? She only survived cuz she was interesting.. interesting = not acting like a normal baby and knows how to do magic... Man, sorry I got too heated. I just can't stand these type of stories.
Lol its okay I totally understand the frustration and I actually think I saw this one before but it looks like I dropped it at the end and couldn't handle it haha
I get the appeal that makes authors and readers ignore this...because this type of story is a common fantasy for a lot...to go back in time...to be a gifted and loved child everone is in awe of...but once the thrill of the cliche yet satisfying scenes of adults acknowledging the main character...they should dive deeper beyond the meaning of this fantasy and present what makes a child...or anyone really..worth of love and respect and not just introduce more characters to dote/fall in love/obssess with the mc untill the inevitable happy ending
Lol sry for the rant but I am glad I got this out of my chest too hehe
Chapter 9(silca and nelt) is my LEAST fav couple EVER. Idk why but nelt's reasoning "I can't live without u or else I won't have any maid anymore taking care of me!" sounds like it ain't love my guy. Ik it's suppose to be a cute romance of a nagging childhood friend and lazy ass guy but bruh imo I hate this type of trope. It's like they only realize they "love" the girl cuz their lazy ass cant do sht without her. It's so shallow imo LOL anyways, I hate that. And also the couple where the girl was engaged to his brother, and so he becomes a playboy ugh I just hate that trope so much too.
Same thoughts
Me: wondering why this has 8.9 rating, I should go give it a try!
Me later:... Wtf so not only was the mc seduced by bright(the guy who told her to replaced the sister, essentially telling her to die in her stead), seconly she got played by two ppl. NOW I don't give a DAMN that sister did not know boohoo but fr, u can fucking see the mc blushing ITS SO DAMN OBVIOUS.. and the fact that she was escorted by him too.. she legit got played while those two fell for each other. Thirdly, if the sister loveeesss the mc, WHY TF DID SHE GIVE BIRTH TO BRIGHT'S KIDS??? HELLLLOOOO???? Like did no one told her that man legit saved ur ass and killed ur sister??? And the most disgusting of all.. ofc the mc will fucking fall for bright's+sister's kid... Which means it's her fucking nephew. IDC that they aren't rlly blood related, but u can tell me otherwise that she only fell for him cuz he looked like bright this is why I hate most mangas. They always write doormat ass mc's.
Anyone's knows if there r any better translations of chapter 61-70?
I like this but I low-key dont like it when mls used to like the heroine, now suddenly likes the mc. I just rlly hope it's all a misunderstanding and the ml actually didn't "love" diona(or Diana? I forgot how to spell her name alrdy lol) OR an entirely different ml.
I rlly love it when authors make an entirely different character that never love the heroine in the first life. Wish this is also the same..
I agree, I'm low-key hoping the cutie Joshua will be the ML
Maybe Edwin's genetic heart disease flamed up and Diana forced him to get engaged, or she wouldn't treat him.
perhaps it's one of those contract marriage where they benefit from one another, you never know what his side of story holds
I was thinking about this too but when she almost died, Edwin told her something along the times of "Father is gonna adopt you" soooo.. they r just gonna be siblings. （/TДT)/ and ngl, even rn I don't feel any chemistry for them. It's giving siblings vibes..
Why do I feel like this is the case? Like she kept on only healing him half heatedly so he will keep on coming back.
Joshua is so darn cute, I just wanna gobble him up-
I’m guessing in order for Diane to heal Joshua, they proposed a marriage alliance, knowing the family that Diane was adopted into which is the marquis, they proposed it. He probably didn’t love Diane like in the original novel cause he loves Belze. They probably made sure that they weren’t able to back out when Joshua died. When Edwin showed signs of the same disease that Joshua had, they had to look for another cause they already known that Diane would not be able to help them. That’s why they got Belze. Joshua mentioned her before his death. Unlucky for them she already lost her abilities before they sponsored her. I bet both Duke and Edwin loved and cared for Belze and wanted her to be permanently part of the family. Since Edwin is already engaged and in probably won’t be able to break it, adoption was the way to go, even if Edwin loved her more than a sister. That’s probably why they never adopted her until she was 18, hoping that the engagement could be broken before that. Edwin defo also regressed, that’s why they met earlier and why he’s already protective of her. He loved her in the previous life and still loved her in this life. Belze is defo the real saint, she looks like the Goddess and 90% the reincarnation of a God/Goddess look like them.
now it seems like a spoiler because of how sensible your guess is
IKR!! I'm really glad we could see more of him in this life he's really precious-
Ig after a while of reading manhwa’s it’s getting easier to make up theories if there’s no spoilers. Especially if most of the theories end up being canon or partially canon.
lol ur right most manhwas have similiar plotlines but it's still addictive
So tr, doesn’t matter if it’s cliche or the tripe is overuse, I’ll still eat it all up.
Man I love this story sm... If only the mc didn't forgive her fam then I would've been fine. ESPECIALLY, the father. I rlly wanted to read this till the end, but I can't stand reincarnated mc's forgiving the shtty family of the OGbody.
Except for the eldest brother tho
Girl I freaking knew this btch ass UGHHSINXKDJS I legit hate it when a manga follow the stereotypes of what is "manga". I literally knew the fl is gonna forgive her mother, and here we our at chapter 13 oh how sadddd me got sold of BOOHOO but oop lemme do the same to my daughter!! And then have the audacity to tell her story Infront of the very daughter she neglected??? Pfft. Ur the SAME as ur parents, don't even. And as doormat the fl is, ofc she's gonna forgive the parent who neglected her. I regret reading this cuz I was recommended by this and I asked her if this doesn't have a doormat fl and it literally does ughhhh I was lied to ╥﹏╥
It was a completely different time then there was no such thing as domestic abuse and punishment for it nor were there women’s rights so survival was different this story may be ridiculous to you but this is realistic for so many women back in that time which is why women’s rights were so fought for leaving this type of comment while living in a world where you were born with rights an a choice is honestly gross
I think it's a matter of translation. Because in this page:
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_counterfeit_s_fateful_encounter/uu/br_chapter-243207/pg-20/
She clearly hasn't forgiven them at all. It's just in her nature to placate. It's the defense mechanism she uses on herself. So far, I do like the raws I'm seeing of this manga where a ghost (not literal) of her evil sister is shown talking to her negatively and it's constant. It has to be a deliberate choice for MC not to dwell on that bad voice in her mind. She's been gaslit all her life and I think the interaction she had with the mom at chapter 13 is proof of that. Her knee-jerk reaction is to make the mother feel better. Which is sad if you think about it.
But then we see in the next chapter that nope. MC hasn't quite forgiven them. Not even the mom. Her 'excuse' of why she sat back and did nothing did little to move MC at all. At the end of the day, MC wants to - NEEDS TO - move on and I'm honestly happy she managed to get outta there.
Can anyone spoil me if the fl will let the aunt go?? Like.. no satisfying revenge?? Ain't no way she teamed up with her..
Umm, I'm still at chapter 1, but is the ml's dad fr?.... Just to force ur SON to marry, ur gonna threaten him by selling your DAUGHTER to some pervert old man. What kind of father makes a threat like that?? Oh okay since u don't wanna marry, imma destroy ur sister's life. Ik he's getting forced to marry, but the drastic difference between who they(the sister and ml) r marrying, one is a girl from a good status, young, and pretty AND her reputation isn't that bad, they r basically the same person.. while the daughter gets a pervert old man Σ( ￣□￣||)
Crazy, like you could tell who he cares more. He can force his own daughter to marry some pervert away just for him to marry this young girl. Chapter 1 and I already hate the dad, idgf that he has a story.
If the dad fr won't drop dead, I will literally- (눈‸눈)
Damn, I'm alrdy at chapter 5 but the dad dropping the bomb of selling his daughter is nowhere mentioned again it's like as if it didn't even happen. The ml rejected her(fl) for a bit(despite knowing his sis is at risk, but okay, dude was just having a moment) and everybody is happy that he finally has a fiancee... As a girl, this fr pissed me off. Ik it's the reality of back then, but idgf. The sister is clearly not loved or even considered as a human being with opinions and feelings like the SON(ml).
I'm scared y'all, like I'm only at chapter 13 and I'm liking this white haired looking villain guy please tell me he isn't actually a villain!!! Someday I'm gonna sue these author for creating gorgeous men, only for them to end up as villains or WORSE a second ml. REVERSE HAREM IS A THING AUTHORRR
he’s not actually evil just traumatized
Yuh I'm alrdy at chapter 44 and the bits of backstory that we see- or the things he says. It rlly suggests that he lived a sad life.. and all of the scars he has on his back I just rlly hope he won't end up sad cuz the fl doesn't choose him.. just wishing for him to meet his fated lady(or even a guy!).
I would rlly hate it if we get to the end and he's just there fake smiling at the fl's and ml's wedding
