I love the story but whenever the black haired dude says "you need to stop letting your emotions show on your face" I'm like what?? He always looks listless, like he's pretending to read a book for class but is actually zoning out to music
i mean the black hair seme is emotionless lol
In case anyone's confused, this is the sequel to http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/nakimushi_akuma_no_maria_kun/
I picked this up by chance and it's actually really interesting. It makes the budget talk really easy to understand, I can definitely relate to the corporate slave, and even though there's nothing "new" or "original" it still is able to keep your attention
I hate the "I'm not neglectful I actually cared for them all along" trope. Like dude, what your child needed the most wasn't jewelry, a position, or a man, they just needed a guiding and loving parental figure in their life to guide them and stop then from making bad decisions (like the original mc). Just because he threw money at her and looked the other way doesn't mean he wasnt neglectful.
Honestly, to me this seemed more like a misguided attempt. The trope is so over used but mostly by villainous fathers would still treat their child bad regardless. This guy doesn’t seem too bad. He’s distant and that needs to change but I don’t think he truly neglected her. His idea was she needed to be left alone to do what she wanted independently without the ties of family that a woman becomes slave to. In his eyes, he’s done quite a bit for her. Their world is built around patriarchy, so it makes sense that if he’s left her alone, she’s not tied down by that and is in a sense more free than most woman in her society.
Idc if he had good intentions, ultimately he's convinced he was looking out for her when he was just making her situation worse and turning a blind eye to everyone she's ever hurt. It is neglect because he didn't physically or verbally show that he cares and never disciplined her
I’m not saying he never neglected her. I’m saying he probably did assume he was doing the right thing. He should’ve been a father in her life rather than a person. That much is true. However I just think from his actions and the world they are set up to be in, he is misguided and that ended up being bad for his child in the long run. :/ I agree with you for the most part truly.
Damn I trusted Cynthia but it was a setup all along
i never saw that coming i’m hoping that this is an accident if not cynthia is a really good actress
Tbh I'm more interested in the crash and burn of their relationship then the relationship itself. He's lied to her too much with a good dash of gaslighting, even though the reason they got together was because Maise was sick of toxic people. I just want to see it all go to hell
She hasn't given up she's just switching teams
