It’s kinda going around in circles with The male lead being evil and the female lead refusing to acknowledge it and so on just when u think she’ll finally accept it she denies it again also I have 2 theories about the FL’s illness either she committed horrible evil in her past life and doesn’t remember or the original body fl was the one committing evil im leaning towards the first theory but I’m tired of not knowing anything like seriously please at least let the reader know!
So she grows up in the red light district being beaten by an old hag and she only has her sisters for warmth, the Esel-whatever viscount? Told knights to kill her sisters? She cried for a couple days and got over it,
between murderers or rapists she chooses to join the murderers family, so she’s just naively living with the ones who murdered her only family?? She’s so dumb just figure it out already and get mad at the world. Kill everyone
If u were a child what would you crave for more warmth or coldness? Also she doesn’t even know that they killed her sisters which they didn’t bc the knights said by the emperors order clean up the leftover which gives room for like anything. And if u see the nobles dont like the commoners so the knight that killed first probably got mad
Yeah the fact that she choose to live with the man who murdered her family is driving me out of my mind as well. The author conveniently had her forget that this is what the viscount did to her. I gave the story the benefit of the doubt for 12 chapters but seeing as she won’t remember and will j continue to stay there, I’m over it.
Nah, the knight said it was under the viscount’s order. The only reason why I’m not mad at her for it is because she only remembers heraring the viscount’s name, not what was said about him. That’s why I was hoping she wouldn’t choose either the priest or the murdering viscount. I wish she’d defied expectations by even pointing to the emperor or having the other read haired man they made allusions to show up. The way the author also handled her grief is a disappointment. You know writers aren’t as well-versed in a particular in the way they handle it and this was poorly handled.
My bad for not remembering it properly but u could see how scared she was of the emperor ╥﹏╥
You don't seem to know much about how children who grew up getting regular beatings behave, fam. The author is going for REALISTIC. Don't you remember the huge LIFE THREATENING beeating she got the one time she didn't follow that Goat woman's expectations? That was just one example to show you her DAILY life.
In case it's not clear: what I mean is, the mc is still on SURVIVAL MODE. She still thinks she could get killed because, as she said herself, there is no guarantee for the people around her to change their mind about her being the saintess, any second, and revert to their violent ways with her. She doesn't know nor trust this apparent new "authority" she has. Moreover, she does NOT trust the people telling her she now has authority. Since she's been beaten up into "obeying" all her life, so when she's given a choice between TWO people, she's too scared to think that being "creative" and choosing a third one would get her anything but a beating.
I know plenty about beatings and trauma. The only reason why she pointed to the viscount is because she doesn’t remember hearing that he was the one who ordered her sisters be killed, so I don’t know why you’re bringing her choice of masters up to me like I said otherwise. I get why she chose him. I’m mad it happened but I didn’t blame her for it in the way you seem to imply I had. Plus my issue is with the way the author handled their story as well as her grief, so I dropped this story already .
I'm explaining why she couldn't possibly have pointed to the emperor, who was not among her choices, because you said you wished she'd pointed to him. Heck, even if she DID remember her new foster father was mentioned by the soldiers I can still see how a little kid could've taken things at face value and thought the viscount can't be blamed for the mistakes his soldiers make, since they were sent to kill "bandits" and not other people. In chapter 4, we see she in a flashback she had even lost her parents to bandits, so I can see have already been reasonably convinced bandits DO need to be dealt with, and thus confused about who's in the right, here. If she WAS perceptive, though, she would've noticed the blond soldier who knew one of her sisters deliberately lied to his fellow soldiers that they were bandits, making it likely that he was using the viscount's authority to carry out his own plans, same as the priests who used their authority to abuse their sexual workers (and heck, I wouldn't be surprised if the blond soldier wasn't bribed by the priests to get them killed in order to hide their own illicit activities with sexual workers, and cover it up by passing them as badits).
As for her grief, her nightmare in chapter 4 showing her seeing her parents' and sister's ghosts crying while asking her to "join them" is a portrayal of the typical survivor's guilt. Moreover, since she'd already lost both her parents so brutally before, she is someone who was become "tragically used" to losing people, just like people in a war zone would do... (moreover, since we don't know how long she'd been living with the prostitutes, after the death of her parents)... so I don't understand why the handling of her grief would be a problem, either?
But I do see that having the viscount being made to look responsible for her surrogate sisters' deaths does make for some unnecessary melodrama (even if I'm willing to bet the priests will turn out being the real ones behind it)
I feel like you keep trying to lecture me on subjects I’m well-versed in. I’m just going to say this: you don’t get used to people dying that easily. I know that as well because I went through a period of time where multiple family members I cherished, including my mother, continuously died over a short period of time. I’m talking six deaths in the space of 5 years. It took a while before I grew numb to it. The author’s depiction of grief has room for improvement. And yes, the knight could’ve acted on his own and I was hoping we would find that out, but the author made the conscious decision of having the FL remember hearing the viscount’s name while she also forgot in which context she heard it. So anything subjecting it wasn’t the viscount’s order is nothing but wishful thinking.
Again, I am not a fan of the way the author has approached this story so I have already dropped it. Thus I’m not invested enough to debate every other point you made. There are far better stories for me to read out there for me. I’ll stick to those.
Ok, I understand, fam. Thanks for being polite and nice. You have my respect.
