I'm SO FUCKING GLAD she has the hindsight to go "oh holy shit, the thing I did is so much fucking worse than I thought it was, now that I have context...." There are a lot of people, in fiction and in real life, that brush things like that off with 'yeah okay BUT I didn't know so I was still in the right'.
The comments section feels the same way too, haha, being all forgiving now that they finally realize how much he's been through, but as people who have access to spoilers (and are able to read critically and should've been able to tell the ML had serious trauma of some sort by, like, chapter 4), I still think there was way too much victim blaming.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the one who attacked Kyouka was actually Urashima Eiji (his last interaction with her kind of reveals that he went from "I can save her from the darkness I was in" to "this bitch can't be saved" so who's to say, maybe he'd rather kill her than let her kill again?). Also, Kyouka just has a very "fuck around and find out" personality, so I could see her leading Hachinoi Eiji on and then revealing that it was the person he least suspected.
That doesn't really tie up the other plot threads about who the real LL is, though, so it's a low probability theory.
Also, I don't suspect Rei, but there is definitely something super sus about how she keeps popping up and helping, rather than staying in her lane. There's gotta be some bigger reason narratively (either she's going to be targeted by the real LL in the future, or she's already connected to them somehow).
"FL should get a divorce ML needs professional help" I mean ML needs a support system and FL and Blanche are his family who are in a prime position to be that support, but go off, I guess?
I'm going to guess half the comments section is either neurotypical as fuck or edgy and doesn't like admitting that struggling alone fucking sucks. Love doesn't cure everything, but people can help.
I mean I don’t see them as support because he doesn’t really care about them. Which we know why but they don’t. You can’t help someone if they don’t want help, all you will do is keep on bothering them until they get tired of you. The ML does need professional help and it would be great if he got it but the FL and his daughter can’t force him too since he doesn’t have a close and loving relationship with them. Or that’s how I see it, i dont know about you. The FL may tell him to get it or help him in so way but the past her had a nasty personality so the ML doesn’t trust her at all, so to me she isn’t an option. His daughter is the same, he isn’t really close to her and we don’t know if he loves her or not(I feel like he has no feelings for her, it’s like she’s just there yk) he might care about her but I feel like it’s not enough to consider getting help because of her yk
Sorry that was really long, I like talking about the characters and the story
I like how them to at least be friends for the kid's sake. Even if it isn't romantic, they could still talk and be supportive friends.
Yess, they can still have some type of relationship. It doesn’t have to be romantic
Except... he is trying to change so I don't know how this can be viewed as him not wanting help. Plus he clearly stated in the most recent chapter that the reason he avoided Blanche was not because he didn't care for her. He also ripped up the doll because he was concerned about his daughter.
....what? He OBVIOUSLY cares for them, otherwise he wouldn't be so hung up over hurting the FL and treating Blanche well in the latest chapter. Are we even reading the same manhwa?
I mean you could feel bad about hurting someone without having to care about them. That’s how I am. You can see he’s trying to change but their relationship hasn’t changed at all
We know why he ripped it, obviously we all would. He is changing but their relationship hasn’t changed so much, you can see some changed here and there but the FL isn’t picking up those small changes that we are. I don’t blame him for ignoring his daughter, I mean what happened to him isn’t something to take lightly. I dont know how you view a person changing over time as wanting help? I don’t think that’s a call for help if it’s moving in a positive way. It would be a call for help if it was in a negative way. But I see that he’s changing in a positive way
It’s normal to be upset over hurting someone even if you don’t care, tho we can see how the FL has changed and he has too. We see that he’s still wary around her but it’s not as bad as it used to be. He was even surprised when she cried over the doll. He’s noticing her changes and feels bad because he knows that she only wanted to help but his trauma is bad enough to be wary around women.
You're essentially arguing that he's not making positive changes though. You're saying that the FL won't notice what he's doing. So from the FL's perspective how could it be considered a positive change? So, in turn, from her point of view he would (still*) be asking for help. (*This isn't about the FL helping him with his trauma, after all. This is about what she's already been trying to do to reestablish a connection between father and daughter, despite *not* knowing about what happened to him.)
But regardless of whether or not he's making a positive change, just because a relationship doesn't change immediately after some (tiny, baby) steps have been taken (no matter which side is taking them nor what reason they're taking them), it doesn't mean it's not working. In fact it's far more likely things aren't working if things *did* take a drastic turn basically overnight......
I don't care about romance, I just want to simp for Ginger
ML: In two years, we'll get divorced
well that's a lie
I'm pissed that the otome isekai crowd is always ready to jump at a ML for, god forbid, having negative emotions when his character isn't even half revealed yet. It happens so often in so many series, but this is the worst case of it I've seen in a long time (especially when, frankly, even without spoilers the ML hasn't even done anything too horrible).
The reason so many people give spoilers here is because the comments section is SO ANNOYING when it comes to "man I hate this ML for [doing action that's justifiable in context] he deserves to [insert threats here]", and this is a genuinely good series with realistic portrayals of uncomfortable topics and mutual healing that's getting swamped with haters who haven't even read the story critically.
I completely agtee with this, though i haven't seen any haye cuz i normally avoid the comme ts cuz of such reasons. I personally love the ML because he's trying but because of his trauma he keeps getting held back, and from what im hearing about others hating they're doing completely blinded by rage. Idk what others say or do but he really dosent deserve all that hate for basacly nothing, he's just trying to live in my opinion. Ppl need to calm down and just read it with a calm mind so they can think clearly and thoughtfully about wjats happening instead of making thier own conclusions.
RIGHTTTT, THIS HAPPENS WITH LIKE EVERY ISEKAI MANHWA I'VE READ. I do understand people normally connect with the main character more and hence feel more pity for them but people are always quick to shit on an ML for getting upset at something. The people in the comments don't know how trauma works
Everyone please take spoilers with a grain of salt. The Novel Updates spoiler thread for Actually, I Was The Real One has so much contradictory information that we might as well not know anything. Also, we don't know how much the manhwa is changing from the novel (it's already giving off a much heavier romance vibe than the original).
Y'all are getting worked up over things that aren't even happening yet, or even guaranteed to happen.
highkey I LOVE when Nene turns into a fish......she's so cute......
