I'm not gonna lie, the drawn out trope of denying someone's very clear feelings cause of a misunderstanding and then some self righteous bullshit of protecting them is getting aggravating. Obviously the take away from that guy's story wasn't to not accept their love or to not have them fall in love to begin with, the issue was clearly him projecting his own insecurities onto her and then after saying he'd marry her, just randomly doing a 180 after 3 months with no warning, he literally just broke her heart. Him being weak and pathetic is his own fault, and the MC not having any emotional development past a 12 yr old is grating. Literally just communicate. I understand miscommunication is like the bread and butter of romance, but 34 chapters of one miscommunication with zero growth of any characters is just ridiculous.
The art style and story seems to very cute and overall sweet, but I honestly just wish they didn't make this grooming/borderline grooming. Do not like that they made the ML literally the one to raise her, plus him being 3000 years old when she's 18, and the fact that he developed feelings/sexual desire for her before she was even 18 - - though as a 3000 yr old dragon, should still be viewing her a child for the rest of her life tbh
Asian stories are filled with lots of conflicted feelings. Good thing they are just a fantasy.
I suggest you that if this kind of plot makes you feel uncomfortable, you read a bit about the plot before starting. I have seen many comments like this because they were expecting a different development but the story pointed that way from the very start.
It was strange that her mother had a wedding with an idiot instead of looking for her happiness, and her contract was "take care of my child", which pointed that way all along knowing it was a romantic story. Also, the title gives you a hunch, romantic story with "no more princes" gives you a dragon as a romantic option xD
I understand that you cannot enjoy the story if this kind of relationship has an age gap of thousands of years because you are referring to an old man looking for a girl, but as I have said, fantasy, he is not old for a dragon, different life spans.... And of course, a fantasy.
I think it's a bit odd that your immediate response is don't read it and get over your conflicting feelings. You can still read and enjoy something without liking everything about it and taking time to have critical thinking skills about what you're reading, which you should absolutely be doing with any content you consume. Saying something is ok just because it's fiction without actually engaging with the text, is a problem in my personal opinion, as the content we consume does in fact shape how/what we value, our morals, and what deem to be right and wrong. Again, I personally think it's important to think critically about what your reading and understand why certain things rub you wrong or bother you, especially if it's something you otherwise like.
Excuse me if I have explained myself wrongly, but I never said you should stop reading, or get over your feelings. In fact, I've never said you should change the way you think or critic stuff.
Please, read again the comment, and again I am sorry, because I am not a native English speaker, so misunderstandings can be created quite easily.
If you prefer a blunt answer, here we go: do whatever you want and think whatever you want to. I don't really care about what you think or how you express yourself in life or what makes you feel hurt, I respect any opinion, in fact I have read many extreme opinions here and I have never bothered about them because, as you have said, having an opinion makes us the way we are.
However, approaching fantasy with a real life mindset when you are reading fiction to enjoy yourself it is not something I would like for anybody.
To be blunt again: there are some topics that I do not feel anything about them because I do not measure them with real life, that's it. Of course I have morals and everything, but my point of feeling "bad" is not easily reached.
I have seen many people getting really troubled with topics and trying to make others feel bad about what they read. There are some sensitive people over here, and I suggest, not impose, to read the summaries beforehand.
I suggested you the same, just in case you were the same as them, but seeing that a suggestion made you read something I did not write, again sorry. That was not my intention at all.
Hope you can take it as a kindly suggestion, not imposed, not forced.
And also, I hope you have a wonderful day :D
I read some spoilers from reddit in regard to the novel. The ML is the father and she actually has sex with her brothers. I really hope this does not follow the novel. Not only is that clearly just incest fetish from the author, but they are all actual trash. While I do hate the cliche of the original husband doing a 180 and now being loving/caring and becomes the ML, I'd much prefer that over whatever the hell the novel does. I'm truly disgusted.
Wha— nothing in this world could have prepared me for your spoiler. No way, I rly liked it so far what the heck Thanks for your warning I think i‘m dropping it
Well for me I want the manhwa to follow the novel...set aside who the ML and sweet home Alabama but I'm here for the FL manipulating every men in her revenge..and also destroying their life until they began begging to have a piece of her stone hearted heart
Same, I'm really really hoping it doesn't follow the novel, but am debating just dropping it also
I'm all for revenge, using, and destroying those who did you dirty, but don't think you actually need to give those same people any piece of your body or heart in the process, especially if they are your family, and no revenge or using someone explains her ending up with her father
Just like I said I'm just reading for the revenge...her using her body or ending with her so called father (uncle) don't give me any reason to criticize her...I'm just reading for some fun and fresh storyline...no need to think too much of it
I'm not criticizing her, I'm criticizing the author. I think it's important to critically think about things that you watch and read as they do influence your values/beliefs/opinions even if it's just something you're reading for fun.
it's a harem, duke is one of her lover at the end. the one she loves is the father, but he sacrificed a lot for her and dont want in the drama anymore so he retired to a village somewhere, but she wants him and keep bothering him
While I'm not a fan of the overly sexualized drawings of the woman in this manhua, I'm pleasantly surprised the fan service has been super minimal in comparison to lots of others and it doesn't seem to be quite heading in the harem root as the MC is quite devoted to only one person and while at the beginning it might have seemed to heading in that direction, apart from the demon queen having one off instance of saying she had feelings, it's never mentioned or talked about again so far and there's been no development towards that either. So far I'm honestly surprised that the plot/storyline in the main focus and hope it continues that way
Wow, so you blocked me from replying because you don't know how to have an actual conversation with someone who has a different opinion. You clearly have very little emotional intelligence and only know how make straw man arguments and insult people when you actually have nothing to say and little understanding on a topic.Good luck with becoming a functioning adult.
Ate
I didn't even realize there was a block function despite being here for half a decade ʕ º ᴥ ºʔ
Gotta love them, lol. Can't recall if that was the one that blocked me, but I do know I got blocked as collateral for commenting to someone on their comment thread... I only notice it when I attempt to comment, and it doesn't go through because you can't comment on their created threads rofl
We have a block function??
I found kiara!!
Actually, it might not be because ure blocked, but some words you typed were blocked by the site itself. Been thru it, and tried re typing them and somehow managed to send em
Nope, I tested it and had to be blocked because I could post what I typed as new comment thread, just not on their comment. It was the only way to learn I was blocked, lol.
Dang haha sadge
I honestly wish just one manga/manhwa/manhua/webtoon would deviate from the "I need to save this girl from the consequences of her own choices and actions because she's supposed to be a love interest", it's tiring and there isn't even chemistry or a connection between the two. I'd feel less annoyed if her character wasn't so insufferable and there was an actual connection between them, but there just isn't and she is.
Idk if its just the bad translation or the actual story, but the characters and story seem so shallow even with literally every single character having trauma. The story lacks depth for me personally and the MC's very, very soft personality is grating; she trusts way too easily and will waiver on her convictions with the slightest breeze. Don't even get me started on the weird pairing they have between her and Hardwin, while he's definitely the best option personality wise, him developing feelings for someone who looks identical to his sister is gross, especially since she's literally acting as his sister. Also makes no sense that the MC has had zero training in etiquette and every other subject a nobel would have been taught, especially since she's supposed to be taking the place of someone who was the heir and Hardwin is like yeah, you need to go to this ball and neither of them at being careful at all about her meeting with Lenon (who suspects her)
as the story goes on, it's getting more and more annoying. I thought there was going to be actual character development but so far the only ones who actually have any development is the shitty ml and it just makes you feel bad for him overall and the original saintess that we barely get any chapters of. People seem to like the fl but honestly she annoys me the most. If she just even used one iota of one brain cell, she'd by less annoying and eden's entire character is trash.
So I'm not sure why everyone is hating on the direction of the story, personally for me, the pacing is just like a majority of the pacing in other manga/manhwa/manhua of the same genre, and majority of this information was already pretty easy to see coming and was in fact foreshadowed. The only thing that's throwing me off is the fact that Duke Spes literally looks the same with or without the magic jewel, so I'm not sure how he's hiding his identity at all?
Right?? I really agree with you. I've seen this coming and I feel like the direction this story takes make it actually interesting? I'll copy paste what I've been wanting to say about this story (I can't post topics atm because mangago isn't letting me :/ but it's been a few days since I've been wanting to write a comment like yours!)
This is apparently a very unpopular take but I really like the direction this story has taken? Cause the concept with diamonds and all was cool, but I like that this hasn't decided to stay purely a "dating show" but to show that there is way more behind it.
I feel like a lot of things were progressively installed only for them to take more importance in the last chapters - like for example we get told about the importance of mermaids somehow through the story of Obsidian for example, only for it to be linked to her acquisition of the egg. And I think there may be honestly more to it, about her, given that so far we don't know the reason why she got it and all.
I also like how Caen's whole existence sets the plot for the politics, the way other kingdoms are under the grasp of the Empire and there is discord but no way to rebel, and that some kingdoms already paid for that (Caen's being a main example). It is even more meaningful when you get to the point that the Jewelry Box is a political device for the Empire to work on their control and influence.
The fact that it's already something that you can think about but that it gets more and more revealed through characters, like Marianne's figure, is really for the best. The crown prince seemed fishy - but the recent chapter only reconfirmed how fishy all the "love stories" are. As for me, I really like that Marianne is not only a pretty doll or oblivious to things but that she carries a real goal and can be cunning and plot along to get to it. Like of course she was a queen so she had to be clever at least a little, but given the presentation we got of her so far - mostly told through the eyes of others, and somehow really under the perspective of the Jewelry box (which I guess is how you know that the Empire worked their game really well), as someone lively glowing pretty that fell in love and that is pretty much a figure of that dating show. Knowing that she's not only that adds so much savor and spice.
Maybe the pacing isn't for the best, but I'm honestly enjoying every new chapter and looking forward to every of them a lot. I want to know what direction this will take, although I mostly think this will be linked to the fall or at least the weakening of the Empire through the different figures that are scheming against it. So... yeah it's just my two cents, but 1 wanted to give a little love to this story because I like it a lot.
I do like this and will continue reading but I am tiring of the same storyline ever few chapters where the enemy traumatizes him with the ways in which they kill him over and over and it's supposed to create some kind of dilemma for him, but after so many times of the same plot device, it rings very hallow and it doesn't make much sense in regard to the flow of the story. Like, if they actually showed him traumatized and dwelling on it after each fight, it'd make a bit more sense cause it's compounding trauma that he never works through, but he literally works through it each time and that specific traumatic event is ever mentioned again, and then the next boss does the same thing and it's always the same angle without any actual substance
