I have never been told an ML past trauma only to go 'who cares'. He irritates me to new levels. I couldn't care less what he went through but to treat his wife like that and claim it was poor communication? He sucks so much. Even when she needed him and he ignored her at the party, what was his excuse? Useless husband.
I hate that we are shipping babies. These stories have made it so comfortable to be discussing mature relationships between little kids who would otherwise be forming innocent friendships without adult lenses. Not to mention, Bellerophon is kinda creepy - like intensely in a sexual way towards a little girl. I know he is also young but man, can't she just be a little girl, forming beautiful friendships with all these kids then later in her teenage, choose a path she desires.
Anyway, my point is most of these stories are becoming slightly adultified - there is no such word but you get my meaning. Like imposing adult relationship perceptions on little kids. So that we are here talking about ml when it's an infant or 5 year old girl.
I think she's 10 but I completely understand where you're coming from. It's kinda creepy :)
most readers are exaggerating lmao. the story is from Maybelle's POV, and she just want to befriend everyone (and well.. everything. considering that she wants to talk to plants like her mother lol). it's true that Abel has a puppy love and Bellerophon got attracted to Maybelle (due to various reasons), while 15-16 y.o Aslan will directly confess to 11 y,o Maybelle this season (c'mon dude.. give it a chill). i don't really have any problem with shipping tho. the boys never crossed the line.
they still develop a beautiful friendships and improve their family relationship in this season (add Abel's <former> fiancee, Duke of West + Raney, certain spitfire from the east, aslan's father, the nymphs, and khan. the gang will be complete. Poor Phon got stuck alone without family tho, but he doesn't really need it).
and no. Phon never doing "intensely in a sexual way" to Mabel... even with the edited manhwa scenes, this never happens. Phon stated himself that he wants to become maybelle's friend (the rest of the flirt will be concealed in a beautiful song lololol). i wonder why the heck some reader think so (tbh in my country there is no shipping war and Phon never got bashed. we treat it not different like lady Baby situation)
if Phon is guilty of something, it is because he never properly explain his true condition and lowkey goading Maybelle to help him without understanding the full meaning of the "request". maybelle is not happy when she learns the truth, and almost dragged the boy to her father (goddang Rykell must have an educated guess abput what his daughter and disciple doing behind his back, but still let them)
Honestly, same. That’s why I’m happy that Lady Baby was nipping the romantic atmosphere that readers were trying to create in the bud.
It's the way I know Curtin is gonna comment on Kayden being a fat cat, lmao.
*No, you can't pull out your hair. They are making progress. Also your hair is not very thick, so you will go bald. It's just a story...* This story is killing me.
I wish my shoujo manga female authors will stop marrying off children. 18 is still a child man. The world is trying to move and protect teenage girls from preying older men but shoujo mangakas are romanticizing it like crazy. 24-27 would have still be a perfect age for Lucia. There is no reason for her to be 18. None at all.
18 is already quite much for that era , they made is as much realistic as possible . In old ages some could get married even at 16 thats how it was . So 18 is old for them.
this wouldn’t be a historical manhwa if the age gap isn’t a thing in high society
That’s the marriageable age for this kind of era, 27-28 would be too old. Those authors still have to stick with the historical norms of their timelines so that’s why, it’s a miracle she’s 18, not 15 or somethin.
Yeah I agree with you even in my country like rural area some people still do child married at their 12 ages. It is not allowed but still they are willing to do.
Historically In the Medieval Times, with parental permission it was legal for boys to marry at 14 and girls at 12. A betrothal often took place when the prospective bride and groom were as young as 7 years old and in the case of higher nobility many were betrothed as babies. But a marriage was only legal once the marriage had been consummated. It not right but they made the story realistic in this aspect for the era its in
I get the historical bit. But it is also a fantasy story not a documentary. We had 11 year old being raped by old men after marriage in the medieval times. 80-90 year old men. But we are not seeing that in these medieval stories, are we? The authors conveniently create stories of handsome male nobles between 20-33 year old's. They don't dare go older even if historically it was common to be married off to much much older men.
So my question is, why are they not doing the same for the girls? Going back in time is already a fantasy. You can't tell me they decide to be rigid on this one thing. They can change up and twist any part of medieval times that they prefer. I just wonder why the rigidity comes in when it is about girls age.
I have read several stories of 12-13 year old girls in romance stories with 25-30 year old men. Hell not. History is one thing, but a whole romance story between them is wrong.
Just as Isekai is a whole unrealistic genre, the age can also be changed up. Nothing wrong with coming up with a story line that features these girls older. Or at least make the men/boys just as young as the girls.
it won’t suit the plot line bcos the female characters will then have to have a kind of story that goes like this, they are already past 21 and still not married? a disgrace to the house. And this is a romance wtf why do u put rape in here?? 20-33 is suitable
um my grandmother was married when she was 15... that's how it worked in the old days unfortunately and she is 18
I really dislike the sister. And yes, like the comments have said, 'birds of a feather...'. She is hanging out with jerks and even defends them. She will never empathize with him. She will keep acting clueless. Even despite all he told her, she is fixated on if he likes her or his boss. It all flew over her head. She is one of those privileged rich people that will annoy the living hell out of you.
Lol same.
i fucking dislike her sm i pray they don’t end up tog she’s so wrapped in her safe bubble
Quitting like that can and has killed people. I hope he takes time and does it properly.
This is a tired ass story with little to no promise. So the FL couldn't just rest by moving to a countryside? The ML is boring as hell and I have a shady feeling they will make it one of the kids she raised in her past.
Moving to the country side at that time and age if anything would make her life harder? Also she will need money in the country side and she doesn't want to work any random Jobs or do hard labor in this life... So she has to keep her status and the academy does look like the best choice right now since she has a room and food for free and also she doesn't even have to study hard since she already knows most of the things they learn there. So she can totally live her lazy life for the next couple of years before she decides what to do next. Also it's pretty impossible for the prince to be one of the kids she taught since that was 200 years ago (according to what she said) lol. As for him being boring... he does seem a bit blunt and "serious" but It's still the beggining so maybe his character will become more interesting later on.
No matter her intentions, it will definitely ruin Jinyao's and Yi Yun's relationship. She is also not trustworthy.
I have stopped after Baji was killed. I am so frustrated with him and feel like he could have done more. I will pick it up again when I am not as pissed at him as I am. Right now his crying during fights like some useless person when he knows the future is killing me. It is realistic. Just very frustrating.
