their personality clashes are hilarious. lucas x athy telepathy moment was gold (⌒▽⌒)
but most importantly to restore claudes memory with a good smack (￣∇￣")
Lets see.. she receives the focus of the blame for Alpheus, Anastacius AND her aunt Margarita's actions against Athy in her first life, despite being poisoned and unconscious, suffering from the effects at the time due her aunts special "tea" only to later be notified of the details concerning her sisters execution and be mislead by her dear aunt into believing that the sister she had craved any form of familial bond with had tried to KILL her. of course the truth eventually came out but the perpetrator got off with little punishment outside a slap to the wrist (being sent back to her very nice furnished home) and well claude certainly didn't feel any remorse to the loss of his real daughter over a false accusation, shrugging the whole thing off. the only one who felt any regret and anger over the situation was jennette alone despite being lied to and used by the adults she trusted for their own self interests. I have also seen her criticized for being ignorant/naive but seeing as shes being groomed from a very young age by alpheus in the hopes of her bringing him more political influence, discouraged from such inquisitiveness on her part and kept isolated off from the world in preparations for her uncles plans, not permitted to socialize with people for fear they would leave any outside impressions on her (she couldn't even go pay her respects at her bitch aunts funeral lol) its no wonder she has the self awareness of a child with a small world view lol. all of this just feels like victim blaming, you pick the smallest weakest individual and blame them for their own inadequacies rather then the people who plotted murder, fraud, treason. tsk tsk (づ￣ ³￣)づ idc I just want a happy ending for my Athy & Jettie. I cant speak for Novel/Wattpad Jennette, she's a different matter.
upvote thanks for speaking my mind. shes being blamed for 1. things she didn't do 2. things she's "about to do" 3. things that aren't even villain-like (meeting her blood-related uncle!? now thats gotta be a nightmare). Also calling her dumb/naive is a bit... like no its unrealistic enough that she's so pure despite everything that's happened. Like when she saw Athy and Claude relationship, she didn't get jealous but supported them. I think most people in her shoes would do what she did too: simply get along with her family. We know the whole story because we're reading from Athy's perspective who already knows most of the story because she read the book, but all Jennette sees is the inside of her house, by force. She's doesn't have a copy of Lovely Princesses or Suddenly Became a Princess One Day in her possession like us or Athy, no sht she doesn't have the same information as us like what do people expect her to do? There were no hints that would've been obvious to her she was being used, I mean its only natural that she should meet her family and there's no way for her to know the gift she bought wasn't tampered with when it wasn't even touched. She doesn't know meeting Claude will turn everything upside-down (I wouldn't have known this wasn't meant to happen if it weren't for spoilers by novel readers).
Not to mention, Jennette is living like the original Athy and is also doomed for death. It just seems unfair that Athy deserves happiness just because she didn't in the last book EVEN THOUGH Jennette also met a miserable end bc of the guilt and her curse.
"shes being blamed for 1. things she didn't do 2. things she's "about to do" 3. things that aren't even villain-like (meeting her blood-related uncle!? now thats gotta be a nightmare)." pretty much nailed it! as long as there is enough wiggle room for mental gymnastics they will find a way to project sinister implications behind her actions in anyway they can whether they happened or not. also you covered something I had previously mentioned before but didn't have time to fit into my comment, readers expecting the characters to know things about the plot they would have no way of knowing (i.e claude is not her dad! shes so dumb. shes just trying to steal claude) Jennette's desire to see her own alleged biological father isn't selfish. they expect her to somehow know Alpheus was lying, how would she normally have come to such a conclusion on her own with no hint or indication given to make her think something along these lines? its not like she met some creepy bookstore owner who told her some of the people she held close were not so trustworthy and she should be careful and its not like athy is going out of her way to make her sister more self aware of Mr whites lies either even though shes in the best position knowing more about the plot of the story to be doing something even if it may be subtle (distill some doubt in jennette towards her uncle) I mean.. I love athy, but thats not going to stop me from pointing these things out about her. its pretty evident she feels sorry for jennette and it would be best for athy too if alpheus's plans weren't running so smoothly due to a rebellious jennette. idk it just feels like people are being biased because athy is the main character and not giving jennette enough consideration to make a fair judgment. her curse is such double edged sword in a way; she's either an unintentional passive threat to her sisters happiness (always ending in misery for their relationship) or everyone likes her but its only because of the curse meaning any affection original claude must have had toward her was never genuine. compared to athy who is loved by so many (her fiercely protective maid, felix, lucas, her father claude, her mother who died for her) compared to jennettes relationships who were always politically beneficial or superficially manipulative (her dad, her mom, and her aunt and uncle all treated her like a tool/experiment) the only one who seems to care is izekiel, and even he mostly just pities her.. its such a stark contrast
Comradee ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ You just said everything I wanted to say but better. "everyone likes her because of her curse" I actually never thought about it that way but I feel like everytime something happens, people go boom "its Jennette's curse please stop". To be honest, the whole curse thing is a grey area to me since everything thats happened so far had its own reasons. Even if its the reason Claude became possessive of Jennette, Ijekiel likes Athy so I guess the curse isn't so strong? Not to mention original Athy met Claude before original Jennette so its not first come first serve anymore (Jennette couldn't have possibly "stole" Claude).
I think the only reason Claude likes new Athy is because shes a completely different person (smart/cheeky) while the original one was shy/dull (and also bc of her mother by default). So I actually expect Claude to like Jennette bc thats they way the novel goes whether he has his memories or not. In fact, now that Claude likes Athy, its Jennette following in the original Athy's footsteps (not to mention her bad ending is a done deal bc of her curse). Even though we know what happens originally, many things were left unsaid and that's what makes this new Jennette interesting. Jennette's trying so hard to get along with her sister and actually she's more reliable than people give credit for (reminiscent of original Athy helping Jennette without concern for herself). I find it hard to believe she'll replace Athy like in the original because of how much she supports Athy's relationship with Claude, even if her politically blinded family expect her to otherwise play the villain. She's been playing a great older sister so far despite her circumstances and that's what I love about her.
Sure Athy can be Claude's one and only daughter while Jennette is left to die but that's just history repeating itself, except Jennette is the sacrifice and that solves absolutely nothing. It doesn't matter that she isn't his real daughter, she still deserves to be happy alongside her biological family.
because that would mean giving up her own dreams for him (a common expectation of woman)
Nope I also don't want her to end up with anyone cuz she escaped for a reason right?
For real, Independent Woman Power!! Am I right?
Yesss!!!!!
even tho there are two objectively BETTER choices for love interest. he's probably gunna get some sad backstory or arc later to make his actions toward her, and in general, look more sympathetic. sooner or later people buy into it and jump ship. I've been threw this all waay too many times with fuckboi ML's. I'm not even phased anymore. I want a revenge plot but I probably wont get it because she'd fall in love and stop halfway. I'm not against him being forgiven, to make things clear. I'm against them getting back together.
Like he stubbed his toe as a child and was forever cursed to be an asshole.
^^ $5 ITS THAT.
She just wants to live a normal life but is werewolf. shi hyun is some super genius everyone admired but no one loved and thinks that is her only selling point, she doesnt want mc to become curse free because she fears they wont be as close with her otherwise. jae sun is haunted by ghosts so he wants uhh not to be haunted by ghosts? he used werewolf girl as protection and is conflicted on her being not cursed because it means he will be haunted by ghosts again but feels it's wrong to feel that way. ironically, the werewolf is the least complicated one ha~ ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Demon King is ML and going to be and one of her disciples, the cloaked dude and she's going to fall in love with him unknowingly. I love dat plot twist doe ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Wait what? I dont understand, so Demon King is one of her disciples? So you mean Evan? As a fake Evan or like Evan is actually the Demon King? Please help me, I'm slow.
nuuuuuu
mary sue/edgy 14 yr old on the internet logic. dont try this at home folks.
Actually, you can find pretty much everything and anything online. There's very detailed video tutorials on specific surgeries out there (don't ask me how I got them recommended. Idk ╮(￣▽￣)╭)
Course, you still need sharp eyes and reflexes for any complications and an extremely steady hand I'm sure. Years of schooling and practice aren't for nothing.
