Chapter 17 low key made me tear up. I hate hearing about male SA because it is always filled with so much blame on the man. I'm just happy mc's grandfather was that guy and did what he needed too. Though I wish he would have thrown those bastards in prison for what they did. I cannot imagine having to take in the child I put up for adoption because of SA and that child DEMANDING ANYTHING
Same
Just to say.. they could have gotten married. In older time periods people would totally marry this widowed sister in laws in the name of "protection" so she wouldn't need to worry or fend off other men. So like he totally could have married her out of "obligation"
It was ilegal and prohibited by the church to marry your brothers widow during that time period.
Mmm to me this looks like after that time period? It was only illegal for about 75 years before they changed the law back to marrying your widowed family members imo this seems like the early 1900s
Richard died in 1893 so the story definitely took place in that time period.
Oh lmao I missed that they were short just a few years
This is so random but I feel like Japanese artist write men over 30 to look so old. Like he's hot but he looks like a dilf. Or a middle aged man I just feel like a 25 year old and a 35 year old realistically do not look very different age wise. Likes he's gonna look older but max he should look 5 years older than her he shouldn't look 50 again he's hot I just feel like he looks 45 instead of 35 lol
this is actually so true and especially with the genes in japan like most of them do not look old at all until they hit like 50 so making the men over 30 look like 10+ years older makes no sense
LITERALLY like what happened to Asain don't raisin why are you drawing men in their 30s like this?!
Okay I really like this story but I think I'm gonna drop it if Luke is the ML LIKE I just know it's not Reynolds but I want it to be so bad he's so sweet I literally get so depressed because my type in REAL LIFE is always the second male lead like no bby don't cry I love a strong quite type
And it really doesn't help that Luke bless his soul is just so very irritating to me I cannot do it. Great plot line very interesting but I fear it's just not my cup of tea. If anyone has recs where guys like Reynolds is ACTUALLY the male lead please drop bless my feed
Kill the Villainess is a really good one with the strong, quiet type of ML. It’s finished so you can binge it if you want and it’s super well written. Also, The Princess Imprints a Traitor; although I will warn that it is still in the yearning phase of the romance. Both are on the slower side for the romance, but I feel like this one definitely has been too
I don't get why they thought they could negotiate with her. She kidnapped lily cursed her AND threw her down into a pit from which she would never be able to escape for good measure. Thats fucking psycho
never seen a ML so useless
in the webnovel, lily actually didn't negotiate and used her powers to make adaline go insane idk why they didn't follow the storyline from the novel
THAT WOULDVE BEEN SO SATISFYING
It was really weird how that played out, theres no way Lily would have cared to negotiate at all. After all she had put her through I thought she definitely would hsve gone in swinging
yes exactly!!!!! the webtoon is diverging from the webnovel's storyline for some reason
the webtoon's ml is so pathetic because in the webnovel, when adaline came, he immediately brought out his sword to kill her once she heard that she basically kidnapped and tortured lily
Which makes a lot more sense.. I cannot even comprehend going in there to chit chat with her. Idk about in the novel but here the ml literally already had thought Adaline was responsible there should have been no conversation she needed to be arrested immediately
Yes! I was also thinking about it. In the webnovel as far as i remember the magical item of adaline was tampered or fake and she couldn't escape. She was so shocked at that moment. I came back here just to see their downfall but that ch made me disappointed. I thought maybe i forgot the story.
I like the fact that she already had a plausible reason for why she isn't able to "concur" the emperor. Because had she not, his mind would have spiraled into that 'curse' his dad most likely made up. But her little "your mom was the previous owner so maybe she made it so no one could manipulate you" was perfect reasoning and he didn't dwell on it at all. I think it was thoughtless for her but it was probably important for him. Or I like to think it was
Maybe the prince never liked his sister in the first place? Maybe he has always saw Raymond as a brother and never really cared for his little sister. Otherwise I really don't get it. She's made it very clear that Raymond makes her uncomfortable, she's called him creepy. She said she doesn't remember him and has no positive feelings towards him. Why are you bothering her instead of encouraging your friend to move on? The only conclusion I can gather is that he simply never liked her. Because omg he never helped Agnes get closer to Raymond like he is helping Raymond get closer to Agnes. What a bastard
honestly why don't the brother just marry raymond instead since he likes and care for him so much, emo they look a like anyway there's no difference
that's what i'm talking about!
This makes sense. It's clear he was icked out by Agnes and is only concerned for Raymond not even respecting his sisters wishes
So so true like back then he never really cared when his sister was hurt by Raymond but now that bich is hurt he is caring for him and trying to mend their relationship like wut??!!-

Kinda? He’s one of those annoying brother types irl that are selfish and irritate tf outta you. In the past, OG agnes was not a good person and caused trouble for everyone. Due to this, her brother disliked her and was not close to her growing up. He was closer to Raymond, who was his right hand man.
Currently, he still believes FL loves Raymond deep down like everyone else does, since she’s been obsessed with Raymond for years. It also doesn’t help that FL went with the act of “giving up cause she doesn’t want to trouble Raymond anymore and is heartbroken over Raymond.” Rather than the act of blatantly hating Raymond. To the brother, it’s hitting two birds with one stone: he can gain an alliance of a powerful family through marriage to help his position, and his sister can get the man she’s wanted and chased after her whole life.
Note: that the brother is not evil. He does care deep down for her safety (as you could see from the carriage incident) but he also is one of those annoying selfish brothers that values his own wants first.
Yeah that's the feeling I got from him for sure. I have 2 brothers that don't give a rats ass about me but even this is way to far for them lol. But I relate a Lil but to her so that's why I figured
I'm confused I thought Adeline was from a lower part of his extended family. Like I thought his position was above hers? Why is he acting like her position if far above his and there is nothing he can do in this situation.. if he cursed your wife and tried to have her killed that is a crime you can charge her with... IM CONFUSED WHY HASNT HE ARRESTED HER WHY IS SHE SITTING THERE SIPPING TEA
Okay Jun is a dumbass that's established I'm not even going to go in on her rn. I need to hone in on this brother real quick.
Rather than tutoring his brother so their dad leaves him alone. He tells him to get manipulative... okay so no help there got it.
Akihito internalized all the comparisons and blamed it on his older brother which is... not fair but he was a kid so understandable. In revenge older brother steals Akihitos first love. Because "if she's good enough for Akihito then she's gotta be good enough for me" that doesn't make any fucking sense but okay. And now he's like. "Well I've ruined his self-esteeme and shattered his self-confidence time and time again. In comparison to me, he thinks of himself like a toenail. I know what I'll do I'll flirt with his girlfriend so that he immediately thinks she's in love with me. This will fix his confidence " YTA divorce the whole family Akihito
Awww I kinda wish Legis would have been able to find a new love but then again. Based on his wife's personality she probably would have started haunting him from beyond the grave
I am worried about him tho dying from a broken heart is a real thing. If he lives by himself and is constantly consumed with thoughts of his passed wife he could end up passing rather soon
Honestly, I wished Legis found love. But yeah you absolutely about his wife haunting him.
