why are some people in this comment being so ignorant....
His dad was an emotional + physical abuser WHICH OFC WOULD AFFECT HIM IN MANY WAYS.
The abused becomes the abuser if you haven't heard that phrase before...
still doesn't justify what he's done lololololololol
If your takeaway from a man repeatedly raping someone is, "But HIS dad was mean :((," you're not talking about trauma. You're just trying to guilt people into sympathizing with a predator.
Dan deserves protection. Not philosophical excuses for his abuser.
Lmao and op is calling other people ignorant, because we are actually reading with our eyes unlike some here.
I find it funny based on one of these comment saying they hate the fl because she's annoying and weak UH GIRL?? U EXPECT ALL FL TO BE STRONGMINDED AND DO REVENGE
I love her small character development already I'm so proud of her and the man who's willing to help her too
right?? this might be a slow burn type of revenge since this is not a reincarnated diva that knows the plot and such
Almost all FL revenge archetypes involve some the risk of some form of mortal danger or large scale destruction. Desperation and betrayal are transformed into courage and determination, but point being, they usually have a very clear threat that must be avoided, or injustice that must be righted that gives them direction. Taking desperate and extreme measures is only natural when your are at extreme risk, but a lot harder if you’re not under threat. Olivia’s journey is different.
She just doesn’t have a lot of options to begin with. If she runs away she will have to live as a commoner, but she has no skills to make a living other than as a menial laborer. She remembers how excruciating it was to live in poverty, so she’s not going to make that choice carelessly, but probably not at all.
Her own family and the entire noble class mistreat, insult, and disrespect her, so she’s used to suffering those emotional wounds. That’s the treatment she gets even when she does everything in her power to be an “ideal” daughter, sister, fiancée, and noblewoman. She will never become a legitimate child, so why would she fight something she has no authority over when the treatment she will receive will probably be the same?
Abused and neglected children often end up in abusive and neglectful relationships because they don’t recognize the red flags or understand how they should be treated. It would never occur to her to fight against her treatment until someone showed her how she should be treated well. She just never realized that there could be someone out there who would look at her with affection rather than annoyance and contempt.
That’s when she began to rebel against the indignities she faced. She’s still struggling and growing like any other FL, but she’s going through an internal process rather than an external one. She is coming to terms with her abuse and beginning to recognize her inherent value and self worth.
It’s not as dramatic as foiling scheming assassins, deposing tyrants, or taking vengeance on your would be murderers, but it’s still a significant and relevant process. People may be used to a lot of drama forcing the FL to grow, but it takes a lot of strength to do what Olivia is beginning to do, and she is much more relatable to people in real life than most other FL’s situations.
THANK GOD I DECIDED TO READ IT IN THE MORNING OH MY GODDD WHAT THE HECKK
And i didnt. I read this at midnight. In a dark room. Before bed haha.
When I first read this, I thought Corey was a good match to Shu but when Corey found out she was Schneebella, it looked more like he likes her because she creates all sorts of magic items which he's a huge fan of.
And for Swan they're childhood friends but Shu doesn't remember because he removed her memory. But when she was "dreaming" about the original novel of how things was suppose to be and met the dark side of Swan and he kissed her thinking they were dating in the other universe made me think Swan would be the ml. Because childhood friends to lover yk but just my thought.
So imo between Corey and Swan, I think Corey likes Shu because he's just a huge mega fan of her after finding out she's Schneebella and just looks up to her.
While for Swan, he has memories of them as kids and were practically really close and who knows, maybe Shu will get her memories back in the future chapters but again childhood friends to lovers. But yeah that's all!!! Lmk what you guys think!
