lmao woke af

LMFAO it's a fantasy story, stories that explore unrealistic outcomes etc. Nobody reads Manhwa and so to live in reality

Not woke (tho thanks cause i love my civil rights), just not a royalist. Hear me.out, Let's not lose pur sense of objectivity when we romanticize royalty and forget our own history. The institution of monarchy like we see in this story, is STILL built on exploitation, oppression, and bloodshed. The truth is, most of us have ancestors who were enslaved, colonized, or marginalized by the very same power structures that stories like these royalty represents.
Rashta's story resonates deeply with me because it's a reflection of our own struggles against systemic oppression and becoming lost in it. By siding with the Empress, we're essentially being manipulated into supporting the same class system our descendants who were enslaved, exploited, and brutalized by, our very ancestors.
We must remember that our grandparents fought tirelessly for independence, equality, and justice. By sympathizing with the oppressors (even in fiction), we're erasing their struggles and legitimizing the harmful power dynamics that have held us back for centuries and throwing trash on someone who is being "taught a lesson in trying to gain freedom and escape their position in society... ie if your low class, you stay in low class...".
Let's face it, some of our European or Spanish features probably came from the very side that had SA or abused one of our ancestors that resembled that closely resembled Rashta (a pretty girl that can't say no) than a noble lady like Navier, and we should recognize that. Let's not be swayed by the glamour of royalty or the false narrative that power equals righteousness. Our ancestors' legacies demand we stand against oppression, not perpetuate it. Just saying.

goodness I ain't reading all that. Anyway, it seems to me you're hurt by something in real life and you're bringing that sentiment here.

Not a good idea, bro... This js just a romance comic, you should realize it's the furthest thing from reality

Well I jave been studying political science and media and history has shown me the power of stories in reinforcing classism. I just want to encourage everyone to read with discernment, recognizing the narrative's influence without embracing its implicit moralities

“I have been studying political science”, if you can’t identify the line between fantasy and reality, you’re in deep shit. We know what’s real and what’s not. Like we know that there’s no such thing as a human that magically turns into a bird lmao

Also, if you’re studying shit about history, you should know that people hundreds of years ago are so baseless when it comes to their morals. They reflect life with fantasy because they lack in knowledge and education. Our ethics and morals have such solid foundations because of the world’s history that we learned from so simple fantasy stories like this would not sway us because we’re educated enough; which doesn’t seem to be the same thing as yours because you still reflect your reality with these kinds of stories like uneducated people from the past.

lmaaoo preach dude

I agree with reading with discernment especially since I know media can have a big influence on easily impressionable people, but I'm curious if you could elaborate more on what you mean by fighting against oppression today? Assuming you're from the US, do you mean racially or governmentally? Are you trying to bring out the negative light on the imperialistic system because of class oppression? Are you trying to praise capitalism and is upset that people romanticize fantasy Imperialism? And why have you decided to comment political aspects when you know you could backlash becuase it's just a fiction fantasy story?

Funny is that this creature is saying “I have been studying political science and history” when it’s clearly said on its bio that this creature is an art student lmao

well it is the internet, there's a pretty big chance they're trolling

I am an art student. What makes you think that the only classes I'll be doing well in is in art? Once again, you got to paint everybody with the same brush? It's so stereotypical, you watch TV and you think you know what art students are like, just like how media shapes your opinions and perspectives on people, I'm just pointing out, that these stories might seem harmless but, just like it shaped your awareness of others, this can normalize being a royalist.

No, it won’t. I’m not like you. I’m a perfectly normal human being that’s educated.

You don’t reply to comments that debunked your ideology with rational reasoning because you know you're dumb and can’t answer them. And obviously you're going trolling as a political student cause who the fuck studies pol sci and history and lets fiction affect their mentality? Lol

Finally someone says it

LMAOOOO you were doing this shit to other people too????

'You don’t reply to comments that debunked your ideology with rational reasoning because you know you're dumb and can’t answer them.''

OH my god this actually gold I'm giggling like a school girl

I legit thought you were a robot turns out you're just extremely narcissistic and refuse to listen to anyone other than yourself, kinda guessed it but wow.

Your username wtf . . . also it's been five months, and I still didn't get a reply.

I've been arguing with TwistedCupid too and I wanted to see if he was doing this to other people or he was just spiraling that day and he is! he keeps flip flopping about arguments and assumes everyone is stupid and he's the only smart person god put on this earth. Then he completely stops replying when he's cornered.

I stole the name from Punch Drunk Love llmao

That film?!?!?? Oooooh I’d be so mad but you are the only person I know of that actually watched that film so… I’m torn.l

What? Agatha all along makes sense. Watch Loki for example. It builds up the story by leaving things out so then the grand reveal is crazy.

This on the other hand is being dragged on

I'll be honest with you, how can you see anything romantic related between these 2 characters ? I think you have read too much shojo/romance mangas.
In any case there is no such tags attach to this manga.

I didn't! But it is a MANGA. Stuff like that pops up out of the blue out of nowhere. Romances in Mangas are always out of left field. So now I don't trust them, whenever there's a father & offspring and one of them isn't killed off. Like if it isn't a romance then which one dies then? The dad, isn't it?

considering that your bearded dragon isn’t a person that won’t grow to be an adult human who will learn things and learn to come into the position, i think it’d be strange for you to give it your car. She’s a 10 year old child, the perfect age historically for an heir to learn and grow into the position.

You never know with bearded dragons

not to mention the bearded dragon isn't from a god-like mythos that are tied to this family. considering power moves and the such, this is actually an amazing idea. imagine? a dragon as head of household in a dragon-esk family? best move ever

exactly! she’s the embodiment of their household symbol, a literal dragon. Of course she’s not gonna be op and super smart at ten, she needs to grow and learn. Idk what ppl don’t understand about that

She's a kid and they say that she's going to inherit everything? Don't he have other kids? Also why her? What has she really done besides having dumb luck?

that’s how it worked in noble houses, as soon as a child is born, they’re considered an heir. In her case, she was picked because she’s a dragon, the symbol of their house. Inheriting the title doesn’t necessarily mean his other sons are going to be broke or nameless, it just means she’ll be the heir, and whatever their noble title is ( i dont remember exactly if they’re dukes or something else ). My point is, children are labeled heirs all the time in historical context.

dumb luck has been enough for the entire human history lol she's a literal dragon, she doesn't need to do much else to be the head of the household

Oh my god. Of course because of plot armor and main character syndrome. No common sense can defeat the power of plot armor

uh...if you call historical contexts and parallels plot armor...then I guess? lol

That's the thing. Historical fashion Maybe but, I thought we would see her you know, learn and grow and earn that position not just be handed it to her cuz she went through a 5-year coma. The time skip really cheated us on her experiences are even like, a montage of her growing into an adult or something. Or at least a teenager. Instead we're like, she went into a coma, time skip, now she owns everything. It's to abrupt and not very practical. It gives her that Mary Sue Vibe like as if she doesn't have to change and she's perfect the way she is in order to be in control of everything. Then what are we Investing For?

we are going to see her grow, children who are given the title of heir are supposed to learn and grow /with/ the title, if they’re deemed unworthy then it’d be taken away. I mean queen mary of scots was queen since she was a baby, exactly 6 days after her birth everything was given to her the moment her dad died. She grew up learning to be queen, and became queen consort of france at a particularly young age too. Tutankhamun also became king at age 9 and ruled until his death at age 18.

Well no worries she will chill out until her 18th ( if we for get all her future problems caused by the temple),

tbh dude I don't really like him either... I mean it's pretty obvious that he's using her for her powers, and I rather have her find someone who likes her for her when they first meet,

Won't repeat what you don't want to hearl and Noah liked her for herself

And she won't dance on the corpses of jher enemies but revenge will be as satisfying

it just seems that way from when they first met to me. hell it seems a lot like that since in the first place.

Sure at the beginning he felt really bad. And still now it can seem confusing. But he likes her and is only living for her.

Does that make him obsessive then? Because I'm not sure if that's good also, because it'd be nice to see that he's also trying to be a better person in general. Like he was like, hey I don't want to have these toxic traits so I need to work on myself first, before thinking about dragging another girl into a relationship. I don't know maybe it's just me

It depends where the limit is between totally in love and obsessivel she has him around her little finger, he'll do all is possible to help her revenge, and 7s jealous when others guys are near her. And for me he is cute when he speak of her to his family. ( Even if he's jealous of 2nd and 3rd ml he won't act on it really ).

I liked because your comment was hilarious. Honestly, I still don't understand why we're even going through this part. Just end the story with their happily ever after already...

Wrll it will last for a little while but it's finish soon ( at least the main story)....

I know right? I thought that would be like, an epilogue or maybe tie up all the loose ends of the story and the plot holes but if it's going to drag, let's get some action going on or some spiciness. Let's add a little Jalapeno in this salsa. The bad guy almost win or let's have dick get away with it in some ways but then gets caught in the end or let's see what happens to the light goddess after she went back to wherever God's go or whatever like is there like a bar for gods or something? Does she get a makeover? I mean like she was tortured for like a long long time in this fiery piss of hell, let's see her get some glow up. A Redemption Ark. Or maybe like have some fun you know doing God stuff. And also like being a dick. If he can't get a w, then let's get him some good old-fashioned you know, let's mess with him. But not it's all like he has a scheme and he almost got away with it but without any effort or even like figuring anything out he gets caught. Like the dude schemed so well and they just called him out of thin air

I meant to like your comment, I'm so sorry! TT__TT

I agree, though. They set up something potentially interesting and just dropped it immediately without any effort. I wonder what bs explanation they are going to offer next chapter as to how they knew his plan.

I mean, you could at least wait to read an explanation as to how they figured it out before writing them off entirely lol.

I would have also liked to see more detective work but honestly, Dick is a moron and it wasn't the most intelligent plan to begin with.

I meant to dislike but hit like by accident, so it's evened out for ya :)

Not that there was anything wrong with op's comment, I just didn't agree with their opinion :)

I wished the main villain was more interesting tho... Although the goddess could have been considered one, she's not exactly the main villain but just another plot point for the characters to get through. The story had a lot of potential, and it served a lot with its wholesome moments but that's it. It was a very fun little silly read just not as interesting as I would have liked.

I get that. Personally, yhe villain got me pretty darn heated if entirely because of his shear audacity. The entitlement with an absolute lack to back it up made me SO freaking mad. The fact that he's not smart but thinks he is makes me mad. Not to mention the entitlement he has toward women, even though he only wants them either for what they can provide him monetarily and/or status-wise; and/or they “belong” to someone else.

I usually base how successful a villain is, in my mind upon their ability to anger me. In that case, in my opinion he's a pretty well done, terrible person.

That's a good point. For me, villains are evaluated on how well they are written or done to cause as much "problems" as possible for the main characters. They're supposed to serve as a big plot point in the story. Villains ARE necessary because they serve as a drive for the main characters to achieve something. They can either be the main crisis or obstruct their goals.

In this scenario/manhwa, the main crisis is the curse of the royal family or basically the main ending of the original novel where ML is unhappy and dies(?). Dick here (don't remember his name lmao sorry) is a character which goal is to obstruct the main mission which is saving ML from being unhappy. The situation is that the guy is actually more of a supporting villain than the main one because he is not the main issue but just another plot point that causes more problems or makes things a LITTLE bit harder for the main characters. If we look back on everything he has done, he basically achieved nothing but being obnoxious and shameless. That's totally fine because he's supposed to be an annoying supporting character.

What is actually tiring me out is the fact that currently, they are making him out to be a role he isn't even playing. We have a whole arc before the curse on how shitty he was in his past and present life. I wish we could have used that and maybe actually promote his role to be something bigger and more influential to the story. However, it's not the case because ultimately, he has served no purpose at all since he couldn't even carry out his revenge plan... With how he even seduced the goddess in her past life was merely just luck and naivety on the goddess' part. Pure luck and nothing else.

I can never forgive you! How could you? You put a thumbs down on my heart wrenching soul bearing comment ? Dramatic pause... actually it's all good. You are so right on this. Yeah I totally like glad you said that because that's perfectly exact what I was trying to say. You're all good. I'm waiting for the BS to be over too. I mean like there was so much potential coming up and I was like, okay this is clever and is at play but oh no! Girl dropped the potato
