So she saves him from death TWICE without asking for anything in return and not involving herself with him whatsoever and the dude just accuses her out of nowhere.
Sure, he doesn't know she was the one who saved him the first time (though he should have been able to notice seeing as EVERYONE including the king knows) but she still saved his bacon (and everyone else's) the second time, has already put protocols in place to save people, including for the knights (so he should know). Why the hell is he suspicions of her. She was literally always nice to everyone and shows her great affection to his brother.
He’s an idiot and will always be one…. （￣へ￣）
Unless theres something more to it and he is up to something, i have to say that its just ridiculous
All face no brains
At this point, the woman is daft. She's been lobbying so hard to get him to call her by name and when he does, it makes no difference to her? Even though it's clear to everyone he cares about her? So much so that he allowed himself to be hurt to help her. Gosh.
What ever does she want?
It feels like she's just doing it on purpose
I value intelligence, so between psychopath 1 and 2, let's just say, one is stupid and the other one is trying to gain power and can't be blamed for it. That's kinda the world sh's in, so we may hate her but we can't despise her like the stupid idiot spoiled son.
I swear all these ML characters are always so dysfunctional, like most of them lacks any basic emotion or social skills. Crazy that we think it's cool when they open up and the only thing I can think is that in real life, they would be effing sociopaths.
I'm not saying he's no good, just that... Could we maybe have a normal dude emotionally? Why are they all so stunted and feeling nothing that's definitely strange
You are misusing that term.
As a writer, we need to have a foundation for each characters “dysfunctions”. In other words they werent born to be this fucked up, they were turned into one. What I mean is that so more readers can relate/understand the character, we can either hate or love them. The more dysfunctional the villain is the more we hate them, and the more dysfunctional the ML the more we “pity”(Pity is not the word im looking for but its synonymous to it) the character.
He does not display any symptoms of antisocial personality disorder. He can obviously tell right from wrong, he’s not manipulative, he does not lie for his own benefit, he does not act impulsively, he is not arrogant, he doesn’t lack empathy, he can obviously show guilt and remorse, seeing as he helped Cayena when dealing with that other creep. Sure, he may have have a slightly awkward, cold, personality, but that does not mean he is a sociopath. He is not. He suffers from trauma, so he naturally doesn’t like people touching him very much.
Lacking basic emotional or social skills does not make him a sociopath, or people like him a sociopath, the only thing it’d make them is a little awkward.
Raphael is a normal person. He just has a cold personality. That is it. He is not a sociopath. Don’t throw that term around.
I understand what you mean by the whole dysfunctional thing, but he’s not a sociopath.
Well I guess I was not too clear about what I was saying. I'm not talking about him specifically. It's just a reflection on how there are so many emotionally challenged MLs out there. Many of whom do display quite a sociopathic behavior. For example, her brother?
I'm just reflecting on the fact that heroines are so healing all the time and it's mostly never the reverse.
I see where your going with this idea...and yeah I also kinda agree
I get what you were trying to say tho, most men (either its MLs or the fathers or brothers etc) in reincarnation or isekais are very emotionally constipated and some do show sociopathic qualities, like its very concerning with the repetitive pattern authorsss lol but yea @lattegratte raphael isnt a sociopath and he also doesnt show any sociopath behaviors either, he's just socially challenged and he's a bit awkward too imo but its cute haha
emotionally constipated
So I'm actually pretty sure the reason Albrecht didn't defend himself and lay there waiting to die is because he trusted the snake like guy working for the cardinal and was betrayed so he feels it's his fault. Also most likely, the reason he's still alive is because the other guy liked him so he feels guilty. Maybe
A question: Who is Albrecht????? I don’t remember....(￣∇￣")
The emprisoned knight if I remember correctly
The knight that escort shuli when she gathering the evidence for the trial (present time)
While reading the comments, I have seen many conflicting spoilers and am very veeeeeery interested in knowing how the story originally pans out in the novel version since I am unlikely to ever read it.
(I don't know if it's the light novel type or the translation but it's not as good as a novel and it always feels like a wattpad story no offense to wattpad or whatever, I wouldn't be able to do any of it.)
Can someone spoil me? Just tell me what happens? Please?
I’ve provided the need information above your comment
Thank you!!!
I was getting sooo confused
The man ignored her for ten years and now he's crying? She literally did it all to get his attention and was never once rewarded. This is shitty. He should have thought about how she'd feel. Bastard
So if I understand correctly, being a sybil is something super important (seeing as they wouldn't dare to send her daughter to the emperor if she were alive and feared godly retribution) so HOW IS IT THAT THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH GANGRAPING HER?????
I mean, intellectually I understand the treatment of the mom if she had had no powers and was just an outsider but it said she was important. The hell !!
Plus I still don't get why she was willing to give away her daughter's blood to them (even though she had to let the blood out, why volunteer the information to the effing rapists????)
i believe that after she had lost her powers and bore a mutant child, she was useless to them. which means they would either have killed them, or like the old fart sayd, bc they were both so pretty, rape them to death, even if she was just a small child
to protect her baby for as long as she could, she did that
at least what i believe
You're right, she did say she had no foresight anymore.
As far as I read this, her mom was a very strong sybil, and a beauty at that, after being gangraped she got pregnant, (no one in the village knew of the repulsive and disgusting actions of those four assholes) and after giving birth she lost her Sybil powers because she foresaw her daughter's future (which she feared so she went against it and while exhausting her powers in the process to foresee into finding the right future were her daughter will live a peaceful life which also caused her blindness.), In doing so she became useless to the village (whom profit out of using their powers of healing) mutants are considered to be outcast but powerful so the mom in order to stay with her daughter in the village and not to be bothered, she offered her daughter's blood too. (Which it would've help her daughter to stay alive since their blood becomes toxic or poison if not be released in amounts).
When they poisoned the mom, the mom already knew this but she still went with the plan (even though she was still scared) her death wouldn't be in vain since it was part of the prophecy she oversaw.
I love how relatable the so called middle school delusions are. I mean, that's pretty embarrassing but most of us have done it one way or another. When i was like 12, we had to write as a group à fairytale. It was like a graduation thing and for some reason, it ended up being pages and pages long and never ended with adventures including underwear eating ants. Cringe and fun once you reread it.
That's the part I love about it, how she just acknowledges her dark past, makes her extremely relatable.
Now onto the part that I like less... the rest of the story. It feels like pure unadulterated pain porn. I understand the mechanisms of it, i acknowledge the necessity of it for the story to make sense but it is painful for a character to be told constantly by everyone around her how ugly, unaccomplished, mean she is compared to her sister. From childhood too. Especially since, if that were truly the case, à villainess would have cut the tongues of staff who belittled her. They literally work for her. How can that be allowed to happen? I totally understand that the perception of the people around her could not change in 2 chapters. But it's been 32 chapters of the heroine being mistreated and left for Last. I mean, if she weren't à villainess by that point, i think she'd have more in common with a Saint that anything else.
The way the story progresser, she has saved her sister a dozen times, other people, à whole village even . Nobody else was ever punished for anything and she faces death every chapter. What has the sister done to be called a saint? Saved the butler in her youth. Cool. Our heroine saved Yomi. What seperates them exactly? Her "sins" if you can call them that are of coveting à Nice, handsome guy she was courting first. Doesn't deserve death.
Scenaristically makes sense but realistically it doesn't. It really is painful to read for my heart.
