I'm not sure I'm comfortable with some of y'all still shitting on her after her backstory has been revealed. there are two things at play here that i want to address that i feel like most of the people reading this can relate to yet some of u still go out of your way to argue against these things.

first the socioeconomic status. this girl is a maid y'all, her status is way below the prince's and eris'. as much as I love the current Eris and i feel for past-Eris' struggles, she has anything and everything she wants. not a worry about bills, housing, food, basic necessities. Helena has absolutely no status to refuse a prince or the prince's fiancee in any given situation, she is practically a glorified slave to the prince's whims. if she speaks out of line or does smth her whole family could be just chopped up. most of u are closer in socioeconomic status to her than Eris, how are u relating more to the rich girl being sad about not getting attention than the working class being abused lmao not to mention the pressure from her family because of their shit socioeconomic status. what do y'all expect her to do seriously? put her family and herself in danger like that? and for what? so the rich kid (Eris) can have the one thing in her life she possibly cant? even though that's just not how people work and the prince has his own conscious and can make decisions on his own?

which brings me to my second point which is the misogynistic implications of Helena being the baddy bc the prince's attention is on her instead of Eris. y'all seriously fighting over a dude and making a random girl who has no control over the situation into the bad person..? let me emphasize this: for a dude...??? how are u Helena haters not holding the prince accountable lmao maybe he has a sob backstory or whatever, but just like past-Eris (who also has a sob backstory but she was also abusing her power) he should be held accountable for fucking with people who cannot fight back. Eris can't fight back against the prince bc he is higher in status and she is a woman, and Helena can't fight back bc she is a maid and a commoner and also a woman. even if he thinks he is extending kindness to her he is just making her life a living hell with her coworkers and everyone around her. regardless if it's just stupid naivety on his part or whatever, my guy is kind of the real villain here but y'all be so quick to put the women against each other.

if anything the fact that Helena was quick to forgive past-Eris for tormenting her so fucking much (physical and mental abuse people what the fuck) makes her a goddamn angel. because Eris couldn't extend the same courtesy to Helena even though it was expressed in this chapter that past-Eris was very well aware that Helena couldn't do shit about her situation.

some food for thought. i understand it's easier to sympathize with Eris because she is the main character but understand the difference between past-Eris and current Eris. and obviously the situation would be quite different if Helena abused the attention she received but that's literally not the case. maybe examine that internalized misogyny some of u got going on and ready your pitchforks for the prince bc fool really be far up his ass. not saying Helena is perfect or past-Eris is hella bad as well. it's just instead of doing something more productive with her time she chose to torment the little people for her suffering which is what most rich people higher in status tend to do and that's disgusting sorry but not sorry to say this. not everything is black and white and maybe couple chapters from now the prince's sob story will be revealed and we will all feel bad but it still won't excuse his actions a bit. he did what he did, he should be held accountable just like past-Eris. and as things stand rn the prince is a brat and we should unite to take him down

thanks for coming to my ted talk, sorry for any misspellings

my take on why FL is so oblivious and why i think in this case it's not annoying at all is that she just sees him as a kid so it doesn't even cross her mind. which it shouldn't lmaooo regardless, i wish they wouldn't play up hansel's feelings so much at this age or give it so much screentime cause it's kinda weird omg me out. do this nonsense when he is older

did you guys notice in ch 11 he said "if you don't know something you can just learn it" which was what FL said to him when they met as kids???? ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ nice callback, i have a feeling he is suspecting something since the scene where he got hella close to her when they formed the contract

girl you already lived through 2 whole ass lives and you still this dense and lowkey stupid?? im- pls

oh no I'm simping again

it's always the ugly dudes that have the big ass ego and are misogynistic as hell like pick a struggle

I'm glad she explained fairly quickly that she got kicked out instead of the author riding this misunderstanding train, i absolutely hate conflict built on misunderstandings

wanna drop my hot take here about her reincarnating so many times (is my opinion and how i see her needing so many deaths to change, don't come for my neck):

i wanna say first that we don't fully know what went down in her previous lives so don't just go assuming she was a pushover in all of them. we only know two so far, and in my opinion they played out somewhat realistically taking her personality into account. lemme explain

people don't just change overnight, regardless of how much this genre likes to make us believe that. her first life ended hella short, a day or so after she got her powers. her second life didn't really involve her family. the rest we don't know. considering how much of a pushover she used to be, honestly her gradual change is much much more realistic than if she just went batshit crazy immediately after her first death.

especially if you take into account that in her second life she still kept hoping for something better even after she heard herself how big of a douchebag the white clown was. people don't work like how some of u be thinking based on other MCs in this genre. tons of people don't learn from a hundred mistakes, and they will fuck up a hundred more times before they understand. people die with regrets, used and abused, being a pushover, letting people walk all over them. it happens man. she was just lucky to get more chances than anyone else.

also, as i mentioned in the beginning, we don't know exactly what happened in her previous lives (the other 5), she could have tried to fuck everyone up or whatever u guys want (though i think there's much more to it than that). she could have tried different methods that maybe didn't work out. her previous lives didn't necessarily have to be her being the exact same crybaby she was in her first two.

her character has flaws, she trusts people she shouldn't because they are family or they offer comfort she has never received before, and her personality was perfect in the beginning to be taken advantage of.

her current cold attitude makes more sense after seeing all the shit she went through so far: people don't just go from being a complete doormat to an ice queen slaying her enemies that easily. i think it's realistic, gives dimension to her character because she really was stupid and unlikable, being unable to stand up for herself. her only defining characteristic isn't just being hurt for no reason and then becoming a badass overnight bc of it.

that's just my take on it though, take it or leave it (づ￣ ³￣)づ love y'all

also fuck that group who is tryna snipe, what kind of nonsense is that, you guys are trash >:( thank you for the translation group that you are still sticking with this series because it's a great one, i hope you will continue to do so in the future as well!! hope you guys are having a great day despite all that drama (￣∇￣")

im- every single one of them is trash??? man we are gonna need a whole ass trash field to dispose of this shit family bc a simple dumpster can't contain them

if anyone has some spoilers regarding this cunt, will he get slapped by karma? fool so far up his ass i can't decide if i wanna be pissed or just amazed at how stupid he is everytime he opens his mouth. i want our MC to have a great ending and she probably will get it (the divorce is so close i can almost taste it) but i hope after she leaves he is just gonna have a pile of shit dropped on his shoulders you know
