Omg get him girl my nurse Annette slaying again, so hilarious how he’s saying it like it’s been an unrequited love and she never loved him
Right I just felt like he was gaslighting a bit there like he was the one left high and dry not being loved when it was the other way round.
He acts like one of those ex’s u break up with and they threaten they r gonna go cut themselves and black out their Instagram pfp bio saying “goodbye”
I feel like this comment section has become a he did this no he didn’t argument. There’s no damn nuance, it’s either he deserves to die (which I half jokingly agree on) or he wasn’t the entire cause it was politics!! If u don’t like it don’t read it
My entire response got deleted for some reason and it only posted the first paragraph so I’m going to rant again.
This story reminds me of Usagi Drop, a story about a girl who gets adopted by her uncle after her parents abandoned her. It was such a heartwarming story about parenthood. That is until the second half of the story where it became a romance between the daughter and the uncle.
I have the same feelings about this story, because Annette’s journey was so well written, her development as a character and learning about her faults and doing everything to be a better person. Her journey of self discovery is practically stopped because the authors put these two back together for the sake of romance. It falls into the cliche’s much like Usagi Drop did, which is sad to see because I felt like they were taking a step to branch out from the usual tropes only to fall back into one.
On another note. I find it very amusing every time a “morally grey” character as u folks like to call them is a man, suddenly there’s defenders trying to give the benefit of the doubt. I never see this happening when it’s a female villain. Rashta from the remarried empress, it’s a pretty common fact we all know everyone in that fandom hates her and openly shits on her. Yet I see NO defenders for her when her “crimes” are honestly a joke compared to the mental torture and trauma Heiner put Annette through (WHETHER IT WAS INTENTIONAL OR NOT.) misogyny much?
Remarried empress is such an easy example of answering the question “if you hate this character so much why do you keep reading?”
Is it not obvious enough the author is purposely making readers dislike Heiner, none of his actions scream green flag male lead. He’s suppose to be disliked, just like how Rashta is. Yet absolutely nooobody defending her, in fact any time a female character does something slightly deemed bitchy I be seeing death threats in the comment section and noooobody is caring. Only when it’s a guy I start seeing these deranged defenders stating the most point blank nothing burger statements.
Actually the fact Rashta didn’t even do anything THAT bad she was LITERALLY a slave due to her parents just trying to survive. HONESTLY it doesn’t make sense this guy is trash and Rashta got hate even when she didn’t even do things that bad early in the webtoon. YET some people are defending bc him? FOR WHY? He’s TRAAAASH! I feel bad for when he WAS innocent but he’s not anymore I JUST WANT JUSTICE!
“He’s firm and fair with punishment and reward” NOOO TF HES NOT U FUCK ASS HEINER GLAZERR MADE HIS OWN WIFE TRY TO KILL HERSELF TWICE BC HIS PATHETIC ASS COULDNT BELIEVE SHE WASNT THE GIRL OF HIS DREAMS
Idc about the heiner defenders just cuz he’s morally grey doesn’t mean we can’t hate the FUCK out of him. I hate him bc ik how this story is gonna end, I honestly wish the ending would have been like the great gatsby or smth, it would have shown a deeper more compelling message while adding layers and CONSEQUENCES to his horrible actions. But nope, we all know that bitch is gonna gaslight our girl back into this toxic ass relationship bc ohhh he suffered sm idc he can fucking die, im the biggest heiner hater and the biggest Annette lover, oh my poor girl
And yes, I honestly do believe if they got the Gatsby ending it would have been less tragic than them ending up together again bc be real w me, ur telling me u would like to live w the man who murdered ur entire family and drove you into suicidal depression AND didn’t protect you from the media so you literally lost your CHILD from a gunshot..? Likeee
Thiiiis, like I'm not good with my words so I when I replied to comment below it didn't sound as well explained here but yes.
He meant the "firm and fair" statement as a call to how Heiner treats his subordinates and other countrymen, not about how was in his marriage. As in, in this scenario, Heiner was treating her as a fellow citizen, who's made a significant contribution to his cause, and not as his ex-wife.
I know that’s what he meant, it just pissed me off because he clearly has a bias and views heiner like some hero much like how Heiner put Annette on the pedestal. He views Heiner as such a great person because to him it seems he’s being very generous to his ex-wife who was a spoiled good for nothing noble, he sees Heiner as this level headed guy who can see past their differences despite everything that’s happened. when that couldn’t be FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!! He has no idea the amount of abuse Heiner really did on Annette, in his eyes Heiner is the goat. That’s why I got mad lol
Byul is already getting progressively more and more baby faced
Y’all Casey haters r so basic don’t know what having a good rival means istg just hating her bc she’s a girl. I know if she was a handsome ikemen y’all brainrotted BL lovers ship her immediately w the mc
Every day I lament over the fact that this wasn’t Yuri and shushu wasn’t given a fine ass girlfriend instead of these absolutely annoying men who don’t know the definition of mind ur own business, and also using her as a therapist for their own fucked up narrow mindsets they lit jus want to date her all the time when she has 0 interest it’s so pathetic to look at like this girl is not interested u beta cuck
I don't know if you're exxagerating because you're mad this isn't yuri but... It's not that she's not interested, it's that she doesn't realize that she is appealing enough for anyone to have a romantic interest in her. Because she thinks of them as friends, she cannot imagine that their feelings for her would go beyond that. She's that naive about romance. The only characters she's shown loud and emotional reactions to are Leo (the king from Athala kingdom) and Sigmud, with whom she shared a master. I'm suspsecting either of them to be the ML. I'm personally looking forward to her falling in love because I want her to experience the feeling, even if she has no interest in being someone's wife.
Yus lol im mega exaggerating bc im a lesbian fag and Im half joking because this is another fallen butch queen we’ve lost to a sea of boring cookie cutter male leads but the story is still aight it’s just there’s sooo many guys tryna hit and thinking every move she does is romance it was starting to piss me off
That’s the thing though, they all understand who she is perfectly, so they’re well aware of the fact that what she does has nothing to do with romance. Their struggle is with getting her to realize they care about her as more than a friend. Also, can’t say I agree with you on them being cookie cutter, unless I don’t understand the definition. Personally, I’m happy I get a badass tomboyish FL that isn’t a main character in Yuri. Can’t say Yuri is my cup of tea either so that might be why I enjoy the story a lot more.
Uhh fam I never asked u to agree w me it’s clear we have different opinions, how bout u stop shoving into my face the fact that ur so happy this isn’t Yuri like as if I didn’t already know that cant even make a joke about the lack of Yuri nowadays without a shoujo lover telling u to stfu straight is better
Straight being better is suggestive since I love reading yaoi as well. Anyway, you shared your opinion and I had a response to it, that’s all there is to it. Not sure why the hostility is necessary.
Maybe because normal humans will see a comment read it and move on. I wasn’t “sharing” my opinion I was shitposting. I’m not sure why you seem so damn annoyed at a joke ppl make that you had to keyboard warrior a whole essay and respond to a week old comment. Seems like everything is fine straight, yaoi, until someone jokes about some girls kissing. If that ain’t homophobic idk what is.
I felt like this was a piece fueled by the author’s self hatred and it hit a little too close to home and got too much to draw which is why the ending felt so rushed
