So everybody has been hating on the FL for being weak and a crybaby, and
I’m here to say—you’ll regret that hate.
Spoiler alert:
In the novel, the FL has an incredibly tragic life. She was mentally and physically abused by her parents to the point where she developed body dysmorphia and severe PTSD. Her mother groomed her into believing she was a hideous monster. As a child, she was kidnapped and almost assaulted—twice: once as a teenager and once as an adult. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
As for the male lead, don’t judge him for being a “red flag,” “gray flag,” or whatever label you want to put on him. As some of you may have guessed, he actually regressed in time. In the first timeline, after returning from war, he discovered that the only person he ever loved and cherished had been beheaded for his sake. I won’t even go into the horrific details of what happened to her body afterward.
The ML took revenge—his basically went like : “Let the world burn. I’ll let the world burn for you.” And then he did everything in his power to bring her back. (Traumatizing)
So yeah, this story is really heavy. And if, after all this, you still hate the FL? “There’s the door, b*tch.”
Thanks for commenting on this!
You're welcome
Is the novel complete or still ongoing, translation wise?
Transitions are still ongoing. There is 193 chapter translated out of 244 chapters (the novel is completed)
Aight, than u sm! I haven't actually read this manhwa, was just reading comments before diving in, good thing i saw yours so i can check the novel first.
IF I CAN'T LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE SHE IS MY WIFE, THAN I WILL CHANGE THE WORLD (▰˘◡˘▰)
Are we actually reading the same webtoon? Because I’ve seen some people say that the FL is portrayed as the savior. Like, what? The real savior is Isha Khan—he saves the girl he loves and his people.
I think the whole point of this story is to highlight what stereotyping people looks like and how wrong it is. Am I the only one who noticed how the author shows the Kukrans as an advanced society? They have gender equality, they’re the best warriors, they have a rich culture, and they enjoy luxuries that even the Estians envy.
Meanwhile, the supposedly "superior" Estians can't even manage their own internal issues and still treat women like marriage material. Don’t you see who the author is actually holding in higher regard? And who’s portrayed as the true hero in this story?
P.S
And please, don’t start with the “Isha Khan was a sl*ve so this story is racist” argument. My dear friends, there are thousands of webtoons written by Koreans where white women or main characters are sold as sl*ves—have you ever seen even one comment accusing those stories of being racist?
For everyone’s information: historically, white people were sold as sl*ves by Arabs, Asians were sold as sl*ves, and Black people were sold as sl*ves. Does that mean we’re all supposed to be angry forever and never stop talking about racism? At some point, we have to look at the story as it is, not force an interpretation that wasn’t intended.
I was thinking the exact same thing as you! the Kukrans that are supposedly "savages" or "barbarians" are the most civilised ones there and are just superior in general.
Yeah like this is definitely different than something like Kidnapped Bride. It still comes from a fetish, but plot wise it's not that bad and the racism plot line serves the plot. If anything they are literally about to go an defeat an oppressor.
I get where the initial commenters are coming from, but considering they haven't read the story at all this feels like the wrong place for a tirade.
i dont have a problem with the dark skinned vs light skinned dynamic in this story, i think the author is making a commentary like you highlighted. my main critique is actually about how they scapegoated the Rom (to represent the Roma people irl) as the bad bad villain and played up every g*psy stereotype to move the plot along :/
Bro , the build up is so natural, and here I was doubting how it would work between those two
Indeed, same
You know what?! I am big fan of post-apocalyptic genre, especially when it's about zombies, and what I've learned after years of being a fan is that stay away from humans and of course zombies, but especially from humans . It never ends well.
F*ck it , I WILL NOT LOWER MY STANDARDS, if I won't have what they have , than I don't want a man
I thought the "Fantasy" tag was referring to the fact that men like him don't exist in real life, welp I was wrong
GIRL SAME i was like what the…. HOW all of sudden, not what i wxpected
They really got us in that panel. Really shocking!!! Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
Yeah, I basically skipped whole chapter for my mental health and well-being
