This entire manhwa is just seriously depressing to me, like I know the mc is gonna get a happy ending but it feels super bittersweet cuz of all the abuse she went through and the number of times everyone just failed her at every turn. Like I heard the abuse Ruby went through at the hands of her brother was much worse in the novel than how it was depicted in the manhwa. I hate how he tried to justify his actions towards like what was shown in the flashbacks like how he tried to keep her "in line" to prevent her from being sent back to the orphanage by basically beating her bloody. Ruby was so right in that mirror room scene when she told him that he didn't truly love her, but was only obsessed with her, like he obviously didn't see her as a person since he only cared about himself and his own feelings rather than his sister's and ugh just thinking about everything Ruby went through makes me sick like it's so fucking depressing I hope Cezar fucking goes to hell and gets tortured for the rest of eternity

I genuinely despise parents who neglect and abuse their children. I firmly believe that such people can only be described as selfish monsters and should suffer a fate worse than death. The FL and ML are such people. The FL is a terrible person from the very beginning and heavily relies upon (and uses for her own benefit) the ML to carry out her own revenge which she has been shown to be incapable of doing so herself. I found her disappointing and lame. The ML is just as terrible and uses his children against the FL in their stupid lovers' quarrel. It's disgusting. Neither of them have any redeemable qualities to speak of. I read some spoilers that they end up having some 180 degree character development in the end, but I personally believe that parents who neglect and abuse their children can ever be redeemed; however, that's just my own opinion. I usually love toxic and dark comics, but this one just isn't my cup of tea. I prefer to avoid anything involving child neglect and abuse; that's just my own preference.
idk even know what to say except that im sobbing rn
